It will be fun to see how various styles and colors play off the dress.<br /> FIRECRACKER--Thanks for the visuals! I ADORE those V.C. birdcage booties but am reluctant to add that much heel height to my 5'11 1/2" frame. But you've given me a focus--a heel or wedge ladylike espradille or sandal. Or maybe a pump.<br /> NEEL--Cognac could be luscious with this; I'm wanting to wear some cognac accessories this fall, anyway...<br /> KARIE--It's kind of an uplifting dress, isn't it?! I am in love with the V.C. booties, especially in that yummy coral, but as I told Firecracker, I don't want that much heel height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1293010 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:10:40 +0000 Karie 1293010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is too cute! I love the fun lime print. A white, red or orange, &nbsp;blue, or distressed blue cropped denim jacket would look fab. I love those VC booties pictured above. The coral booties would be fun, the steel or washed grey&nbsp;more practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292932 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 04:27:41 +0000 Neel 1292932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will not cover this pretty dress up! But a denim jacket white or blue sounds like a fun combo for the weekends. And I also love Firecracker's shoe choices for this. A cognac moto would look fun too :). Perhaps a winter look though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292925 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 03:49:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1292925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress, and so summery! I would stay toward the dressy side with the sandals, preferably with a little heel, for work. Something strappy like the ones below, maybe? In metallic, white, cream or cognac.<br />I like the topper ideas offered; kiwigal has given a great list, and I could see any of them with this dress for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292871 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:12:13 +0000 Sal 1292871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love this dress....<br />I think wedges would be fantastic or a block heel sandal...colours brown/nude/silver/gold/white/blue/pink/purple/green/yellow/orange - as long as if it is a colour it has a similar bright fresh intensity.<br />Topper, a cropped denim jacket, cardigan or shrug...white would be perfect but other colours would also work.<br />Enjoy, what a fun dress!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292863 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:03:16 +0000 lyn* 1292863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE PRETTY GREEN DRESS WITH THE LIMES THAT IS SO CHIC BECAUSE KATE SPADE DID LEMONS AND I LOVE KATE SPADE AND OMG THE PRETTY GREEN DRESS WITH THE LIMES.</p> <p>*plonk*</p> <p>July is going to be a long month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292860 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:01:28 +0000 Windchime 1292860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUZ--Yes, mine is a tall (one of several things I love about this dress!) The only summer wedges I have are black. I don't have either white or nude sandals yet. Oh bummer, guess I'll have to go shoe shopping. :)<br /> As soon as I got the dress, I thought about pairing it with a yellow or lime-colored short cardi. (More shopping. Oh, darn.)<br /> LYN--You crack me up. Do NOT think about the pretty green dress with limes.

I actually tried it with the dress but thought that long blazer over midi-length dress veered toward frumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292841 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:50:56 +0000 Suz 1292841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun print!&nbsp;</p> <p>I would go with white or navy also. If you're brave or bold, orange, yellow, or fuchsia. &nbsp;Is it a similar length on you as the model? If so, I think it would look best with some kind of heel or wedge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292835 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:45:08 +0000 lyn* 1292835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you ever consider a white blazer?

I could also see navy working really well, in a cardigan or something like a linen blazer. Or maybe even something picking up that yellow for a matchier look.</p> <p>And, for shoes, metallic sandals or flats might be cute. The brown ones sound like a good choice&nbsp;too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-2#post-1292811 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:18:27 +0000 Windchime 1292811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this Land's End dress which was in an Angie round up a while ago. I intend to wear it to work and have a short white denim jacket I can use as a topper. Is there another type of topper I should consider? What shoes or sandals would work with it? It looks like the model has brown sandals; I could certainly do that. The overall look should be business casual with a touch of fun (the limes provide that!) but not veer into frumpy or precious. Please help me finish styling my dress! </p>
