I will instead enjoy my grass print and cloud print dresses as my nod to photo prints Even though I know I'd love this one as well, wearing it would cut into QT with the other dresses in my life, which also don't see as much play these days. </p> <p>Angie is right; my lifestyle is in transition. I should be saving for insoles, Chie Miharas, or a trip now that my schedule is so much more flexible than it was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754687 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:46:37 +0000 rachylou 754687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're dead broke, no. But that is an incredible price and incredible dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754683 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:44:11 +0000 Mochi 754683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand how people would think it's not rae at all. However, I have full confidence that rae knows how to rae-ify things that come into her possession. It's not something everyone can do, but this is her genius. Not saying you should get it, rae. Just that it could work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754637 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:09:50 +0000 LadyBirdK 754637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there Rae,<br /> First of all, what a gorgeous dress! I know that when I have an eye on something and I don't get it, I am usually really bummed about it later on. Usually, if after several weeks I am still thinking about an item, then I know I should get it. Often I write it down, and a couple of weeks later I look at the note again - usually when I go to write ANOTHER thing down! Sometimes I will think "why in the world did I want that?" but if I don't, well, there is another chunk out of the checking account! That said, however, this seems to be a very unique piece. Would it be something that you would be willing to repeat often enough to make it worth while? Or are you willing to wear it to special occasions? (in my mind, a special occasion something is a different case) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754599 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:18:57 +0000 lynne 754599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been watching it, too, and I just ordered. Not much help, am I? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754432 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:32:38 +0000 Julie 754432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd better stay out of this one. But then again, I already have the dress. And like another poster said, you can wear it with boots and jeans, and we all know how much you love boots and jeans.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754388 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:07:00 +0000 catgirl 754388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, just adding I know some of us said the same thing (too girly) about the grass print dress which you have worn successfully... so I considered that too but am still a nay vote. I found my galaxy print and you will find your photo print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754383 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:05:15 +0000 annagybe 754383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another pass based on the gathers at the neck and shoulder. I think you're being seduced by the print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754378 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:00:25 +0000 Parsley 754378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the print, but I'm not at all sure about the style for you.<br /> If this were a solid color or a different print would you be attracted to this dress? I'm thinking that the answer would be no. I really don't see you in those gathers at the shoulders and that sleeve style.</p> <p>I think another photo print will come along that has both the right style and a great print, so I'd pass on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754350 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:30:21 +0000 Anonymous 754350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see you in this at all. I like the idea of it, but as Angie said, I think your style is going a different way. I would save the money for comfier shoes for working, and then once you have settled into your new routine, assess your lifestyle and wardrobe then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754348 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:27:16 +0000 DonnaF 754348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print is great and up your alley, but I'm not so sure about the puffed sleeves and neckline gathers for YOU and YOUR style. Something about the style or cut feels a bit *off* to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754339 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:08:51 +0000 Angie 754339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass. Your lifestyle is changing big time. Reassess how that impacts your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754332 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:02:02 +0000 Sunita 754332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very pretty dress, and that is a great deal. Now, I haven't been on the site much lately and don't know if your style is changing, but I'm having trouble envisioning you in the dress. Something about the gathered sleeves and neckline make it a bit too sweet and girly for you. Am I wrong?</p> <p>Another thought: is it a final sale or could you return it if it doesn't work out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754324 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:55:34 +0000 Vicki 754324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae's garden at less-than-half the price?! You love it, right? The blue is your "blue" and you do have days off to wear this silk field of dreams. I'm saying yes, if you really love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754301 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:26:36 +0000 Ingunn 754301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only you can decide, but if you've wanted it this long and have four days a week to wear it, technically... well.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754299 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:26:23 +0000 lyn* 754299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you thought about it much since spring? I would get it if it is often on your mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754292 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:17:28 +0000 celia 754292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass, for the love of your wardrobe,pass .

But I'm not going to tell you what to do:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754277 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:09:31 +0000 rute 754277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754258 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:50:54 +0000 catgirl 754258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print and shape - the only thing that's making me hesitate is the gathered shoulders. Have not seen you in that style. Of course, you can wear it since your shoulders are balanced but is it too frou for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754251 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:43:14 +0000 Mochi 754251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you've run headfirst into a bunch of enablers, haven't you. I have to concur--this is an amazing piece. You will have plenty of time to wear it. Unless it's either this or another piece you desperately want, it seems like a no-brainer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754247 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:40:25 +0000 A.Kiernan 754247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do it! It's gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754244 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:38:02 +0000 April 754244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I think this falls in the category of "ruthlessly memorable". That's not necessarily a bad thing -- how important is variety/versatility to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754243 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:37:18 +0000 Claudia 754243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"I should pass on this... right?: WRONG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754239 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:36:41 +0000 JuneBug 754239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should go for it. You've had it on your mind since Spring and it's price has dropped so much, it's practically begging you to buy it! </p> <p>Since you love it so, you'll definitely find ways to wear it as often and match it to the season too. Right now, with a pair of boots a jacket and you're ready. In winter you could wear it as a tunic over skinnies or tights and under other warmer layers. In Spring you can wear just the dress with casual flats or booties and in summer with thong sandals or those lovely 'cage' sandals (gladiator style)! If you're not convinced yet, It's still a gorgeous dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754238 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:33:07 +0000 Karie 754238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>$75 down from $228 is my kind of sale. Since you have been waiting for it since Spring, I say go for it - you will probably regret it if you don't. And it is super cute, by the way! You could dress this up or down and get a lot of wear out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754236 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:29:44 +0000 Mo 754236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Rae, only 4 days per week of 'regular' clothes wear sure hasn't stopped Anna or I, has it?? LOL<br /> Remember that you still have 'off' time even on work days where you will likely change out of uniform and still go about your day - out to eat, running errands, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754230 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:25:38 +0000 deb 754230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say, go for it. I can see it casually worn with your boots in the spring. but also dressed up for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754225 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:16:55 +0000 Dana 754225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous! And it's a great price. I would only pass on it if you don't thin you'll end up getting a good cost per wear out of it. It seems really versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-pass-on-this-right#post-754222 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:13:29 +0000 rae 754222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had this in my wishlist since the onset of spring. Originally $228, now $75. Great! Except, I won't be able to wear it all that much right now. Only about 4 days to wear "regular" clothes per week. </p> <p>Ack, but I still adore the photo print, the bright blue near the face, and the material (silk, not that bathing suit material!). Wearable to Dress for Success, and "weekends." </p>
