Wow. The whole look (your hair is just stunning) is so Una and so fab. I can understand why your family (men in particular) would not love the look but you own it and you rock it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1301198 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 13:31:23 +0000 Janet 1301198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding right along with Shiny. It's hard to explain why it works...and why it works in being so YOU, but it does. </p> <p>Una, this quote from you is interesting to me. I think it deserves a separate thread:</p> <p>Honestly, I wonder how differently this would come across if you didn't all "know" me...<br /> This is a question I've been pondering. When something is so "you", does it show to others? Or are strangers just thinking "what is that woman doing in Shaquille O'Neal's shirt"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1301051 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 04:50:38 +0000 MsMaven 1301051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see this dress on you in motion to see how it flows (or doesn't.) &nbsp;One thing I am certain of, to wear this dress a person has to have fabulous shoulders. &nbsp;Which you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1301040 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 04:34:37 +0000 kellygirl 1301040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! It's awesome on you. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1301005 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 04:00:57 +0000 Jeanie 1301005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late to the party but you&nbsp;look runway fabulous and Shiny summed it up well. &nbsp;The rest of the world may not "get it" but don't keep that from letting you wear this fab outfit. &nbsp;I think my happiness with style pushing&nbsp;outfits does shine through to others and some while smile with me. &nbsp;Most of the world just sees me as wearing something weird. &nbsp;That's why we are here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300756 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:24:15 +0000 catgirl 1300756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I wish you all lived here because my family unanimously hated this look. I got "the 80s called, they want their dress back", "Why are you wearing my shirt?" "You wore that to work?!" and "Mom, why are you wearing your pajamas?" The only person who appreciated it was my fashion forward teenage niece who exclaimed "I love your dress!" Sigh. Thank goodness for Fabbers because I still love this look.... ❤ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300413 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:27:18 +0000 texstyle 1300413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look stunning Una - the hair, the dress, those shoes, very much art in motion. It reminds me of that arty prairie style I think you linked to a while back. I also feel like you own this look so it really works well. Not just because we "know" your style. Have a Happy Anniversary weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300410 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:24:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1300410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you, Una. You look super stylish. The shoes and hair are perfect with this dress!&nbsp; I love the lines of the dress; it looks luxurious (I bet the fabric is incredible in real life). <br />Thanks for your compliment about my calves on my post. I was thinking, I'd like to trade my calves for your slim legs and ankles, if only for a day! Just for the experience, you know? he he! <br />Happy anniversary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300365 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:16:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1300365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is absolutely STELLAR Una! And such a part of your style. It isn't just "hair" on you - it's an accessory IYKWIM.</p> <p>As for the dress, love it! The oversized look really suits this particular dress. I like how there's such a strong vertical look to it. I'm kind of feeling like Parsley and wondering if it should be a tad shorter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300357 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:00:53 +0000 amiable 1300357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything about this - and happy Anniversary! &nbsp;(even though you have to work all day). &nbsp;I want a dress like this, and to look in it like you do. &nbsp;(And your hair too, while we're at it!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300296 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:17:52 +0000 viva 1300296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Shiny is brilliant and I honestly am completely inarticulate now. </p> <p>The outfit is just so interesting and perplexing. You continue to be an inspiration for me. And the hair -- amazing. Happy anniversary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300285 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 10:08:19 +0000 Astrid 1300285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this. The metallic oxfords are perfect with it. And your hair looks fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300274 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 08:39:44 +0000 Jaime 1300274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love what Shiny said. And I independently love the dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300166 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 03:04:30 +0000 catgirl 1300166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parsley, I thought that too - I may see how it looks with heels. It's meant to belt, but that is not a good look on me. I may shorten a titch as you've said for versatility with shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300163 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 03:01:56 +0000 catgirl 1300163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, that is the nicest post ever. It is my wedding anniversary, and I'm spending it on an 11-hour workday, and your words just made my day. I love paradox and confounding assumption although I did not consciously think of it here - so glad you analyzed it for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300162 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 02:58:15 +0000 shiny 1300162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are practically unrecognizable in the photo, perhaps that stunned me into speechlessness. The background is different than your usual, for one thing. Lighting too.&nbsp;Hair is very&nbsp;different. Then add the oversized shirtdress-- which blurs all distinction of your&nbsp;form underneath. We just see your skinny limbs. </p> <p>There's an additional&nbsp;confusion factor - is this a kid wearing an oversized shirt? Is it a nightgown? Are those granny shoes? None of it matches up in the brain, where preconceived memories are stored.&nbsp;It's very&nbsp;clever.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is the part of fashion that is "art" -- and that I would love to aspire to myself,&nbsp;but never can quite pull it off. You do so masterfully here.</p> <p>If this photo was hanging on the wall of an art gallery, I'd stop and linger and admire. Whether I knew you or not.</p> <p>Okay that was my best shot at trying to articulate what I see, and why I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300161 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 02:54:33 +0000 Gigi 1300161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice hair! And nice shirtdress. I don't ordinarily go for shirtdresses—they always seem to veer toward frumpy for me—but I really like this one. And it looks good on you. The design really comes across as intentionally oversized (and not like Shaq's shirt, ha ha).</p> <p>I think that other people who have any understanding of fashion will see the dress as intentional. Others, who have no understanding of fashion, will not, just the same way that a lot of people can't understand the semituck and think you just forgot to put half your shirt into your pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress/page/2#post-1300157 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 02:47:32 +0000 Sheila 1300157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love this! All I could think of is "I think she needs argyle tights". I have NO idea why, the thought just popped into my head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300153 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 02:41:48 +0000 Parsley 1300153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress a lot for you, but I think I would like it better a smidge shorter.<br />How does it look if you pin up the hem just a little bit?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300123 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 02:17:12 +0000 catgirl 1300123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny! *blushing* Honestly, I wonder how differently this would come across if you didn't all "know" me... </p> <p>This is a question I've been pondering. When something is so "you", does it show to others? Or are strangers just thinking "what is that woman doing in Shaquille O'Neal's shirt"?</p> <p>I am happy with the hair - the deep blue makes it super shiny and it's a permanent color so not going to fade as fast as brighter colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300113 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:55:02 +0000 Elizabeth P 1300113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shiny said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300112 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:48:40 +0000 shiny 1300112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A second on the - your hair is absolutely blowing me away - comment! Just wow.</p> <p>And yes, I love the shirt dress, with those shoes, and your hair. I can't explain quite why it all works for you,&nbsp;but it does. I'll leave that to the more fashion articulate.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300106 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:43:50 +0000 Suz 1300106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot -- the colour is really beautiful on you. I may be biased because I bought a chambray shirtdress, too. Pretty oversized and sack- like. Which I like. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300105 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:43:32 +0000 Kristin L 1300105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-the-shirtdress#post-1300098 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 01:26:44 +0000 catgirl 1300098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA!
