I've actually only bought one item with this type of sleeve and it is a top I likely wouldn't keep anyway (not expensive) but if it were a dress i would do exactly as you did.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait to see it on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856959 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 01:56:55 +0000 Sal 1856959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have added that the nude shoes will be fab with it!!&nbsp; And I love the faux fur wrap too.....</p> <p>And there might be another colour that could work - garnet might work or even the right chocolate brown, it is hard to tell online.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856958 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 01:50:18 +0000 shiny 1856958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie </b>one last question or two... if I got that sole society wrap, would I still need pearls? I'm thinking it's either/or... ? And how do I incorporate the wrap with a winter coat? I'd normally wear my black wool Burberry trench, as I still have yet to find a formal coat that is warm enough for our winters. I've got to be practical coat wise. Could that wrap be worn over my Burberry trench? Or would I be carrying it in a bag, then topping it on after checking my coat? (yet another reason I should get a Neo??) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856957 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 01:44:58 +0000 shiny 1856957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,</b> that faux fur wrap is gorgeous!!!! I've just had bad luck with Sole Society shoes. Any other options? And what do you think for a clutch? Hmm... maybe a "millennial pink" leather clutch"?&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, love your ideas and I did try on a pair of high shaft booties in a pinkish suede taupe this past weekend (did not buy) that now that I think of it... could probably work for dressing down. I agree that the sleeves will limit toppers. But, every time I invest in these sort of sleeve items, I do a test in the dressing room: would this work down the road if these fancy sleeves suddenly go out of style, and I took this to a tailor to have the fussy sleeve chopped out to make an elbow sleeve garment? This one totally passes that test! (Am I the only one that does this calculation in the dressing room?)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856720 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 13:53:15 +0000 Angie 1856720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the Find. GORGEOUS champagne colour, <b>Jennifer.</b> Fab with your complexion.<b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>YES to all your questions.&nbsp; </p> <ol> <li>Nude shoes and pearls&nbsp;</li> <li>Faux fur wrap in blush</li> <li>Nude or grey hosiery</li> <li>Gold jewellery</li> </ol> <p><b></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856712 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 13:06:36 +0000 Suz 1856712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, Jennifer! And I definitely think you can style it as a sort of "dressy everyday" or "daytime date" or "casual date" in winter. Especially if it is comfy (as it looks). </p> <p>For that, I'd try your black suede boots or flat black boots or possibly a pair of booties (probably not black for booties) and maybe a leopard print scarf like the one in Finds (you'll need to hunt for one with the right tones.) Or a plaid scarf...</p> <p>Jackets over it could potentially also casualize it (i.e. a denim jacket or leather moto) but might be tricky with the sleeve detail -- you'd have to try it out and see.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another option instead of a scarf at the neck would be a more chunky necklace of some kind.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856708 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 12:41:32 +0000 shiny 1856708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Deb</b> - my ears are pierced but I haven't worn earrings in a long while, and in fact, decluttered ALL my earrings. The holes may have closed up by now since it's been so long. Also because my neck is short I never liked how long dangly earrings looked on me -- something off about the proportions?&nbsp;</p> <p>For those who suggested pearls, I do like that idea and I have pearls.&nbsp;I don't have any rose gold jewelry.... I will see what I can find for an alternative statement necklace.</p> <p><b>Zibbets </b>- my nude heels are patent leather, so they will add shine. I think I agree with you that the black boots could work for a more informal event. Reality? I will likely wear boots to schlep to the event in the cold and snow, then switch into heels once I arrive. Thing is one of the events we go to each winter is in a venue that's cold and drafty, so if I can get away with wearing boots with socks, I like to do that! But I thought this dress, with the long sleeves and substantial velvet fabric, would at least keep me warm everywhere else so maybe I will be able to tolerate cold feet for a few hours....</p> <p><b>Lisap</b> - my existing clutch options are: 1) cream/white leather (it's got a touch of sparkle to it); 2) black with gold studs (I tried this first and liked it a lot... unfortunately the clutch is smaller than I like); 3) white crocodile box clutch (again it's smaller than I like). My leopard clutch bit the dust recently, but I'm not opposed to having an excuse to replace it. I'm also not opposed to finding a new clutch that's just for this dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it'd be great if I could come up with a way to style this dress for every-day / and not just formal. Do you think that's possible? I am seeing a lot of velvet dresses in the stores. Is velvet just for formal or is it every day now? Could I pair with say flat black leather boots for a more mod look? Or other shade of tall boot... ? Not sure I'd wear this dress to work, even if styled down... as my office is more smart casual. But perhaps to wear out on date night sometime?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856663 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 03:39:43 +0000 Anonymous 1856663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856661 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 03:13:26 +0000 Zibbets 1856661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress!

Maybe you should use one of those black semi sheer monochromatic black flower patterned stockings which Angie recommend recently. I think that it was mentioned in the interesting socks post. If you did that and kept everything else as simple as possible, I think that the boots and dress could read as evening party formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856649 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 02:29:49 +0000 Anonymous 1856649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry - that totally threw me off.

I like keeping the accessories light colored, especially with your blonde hair. Tall light colored boots would work, I think, but getting black suede to work may be difficult. Maybe treat the dress like a column of light neutral and add the black boots along with a black hat or scarf with a pattern that includes the rosy color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-accessorize-this-dress-1#post-1856642 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 01:13:11 +0000 Laura G 1856642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress! </p> <p>I vote white-girl-nude shoes and hose and light brown or gold clutch, to let you and the beautiful dress be the focus. That neckline seems to me to call for a long necklace, a fairly substantial one because of the weight of the fabric.
