BTW, I am really enjoying high/low hems on tops - find it cuts my side view, which is my widest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731946 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:02:42 +0000 catgirl 731946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>F21 is perfect for that kind of test drive, and some items like this dress are really just as nice as expensive stuff. Yay for new style doors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731942 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:58:52 +0000 Anonymous 731942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is awesome! I love how you were able to self-diagnose too. You seem to have a keen awareness of just what you needed, and you were right. That dress has a great, on trend cut, the pattern is classic, done in a bolder way and the colors are great neutrals. I imagine you'll get quite a few happy wears out of it. Yay! I'm so happy for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731908 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:34:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 731908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mind-expanding clothes - so much better than mind-expanding drugs imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731881 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:07:34 +0000 Angie 731881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! There you go, Lisa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731879 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:06:57 +0000 annagybe 731879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's a great dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731878 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 22:04:57 +0000 Angie 731878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so touched, dear friend :)</p> <p>LOVE this frock and hope to see you in it soon! Will love it with your booties too. Glad that you found an inexpensive fashion fix - works like a charm doesn't it. We don't need to invest all the time! Fast fashion fixes are fun. </p> <p>We also reserve the right to change our minds about things in fashion and style. As long as we own up about it. Love the way you just did that :)</p> <p>Now go rock that frock, sister!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731784 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:47:45 +0000 Lisa 731784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for something new! I also find I am a big nay on certain trends then I think my eye adjusts after seeing others sport the look here and I end up jumping on board much later. Case in point, my green skinny jeans. It took me a while to purchase colored denim and now I wear them at least once a week, I adore them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-eating-my-words-on-the-high-low-trend#post-731780 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:45:53 +0000 Antje 731780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to go back to this blog post (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/13/big-trend-high-low-skirts/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/.....ow-skirts/</a>) re-reading my comment, and yup, I really didn't like this high-low skirt hem concept back in March, and said "not for me". Well, it goes to show that I'm open to change, and I know it always makes Angie happy when that happesn, so.... I bought a high-low dress last night and I love it. It's this one from Forever21: <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&#038;Category=dress&#038;ProductID=2021840868&#038;VariantID=" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....VariantID=</a> It's a little longer on me than on the model but the front still stops above the knees.</p> <p>I needed a "cheap fashion fix" last night - somehow I've felt quite stale and boring in the style department lately even though I've continued shopping, and felt I've lost some trendiness and edge in the last few months as I've "upgraded" my professional wardrobe. And I've noticed that when Angie blogs about new trends, more often than not my comments were skeptical or downright "nay", and I thought I might be closing myself off to too many new concepts. So I marched off to H&amp;M and Forever 21 last night with the mission to up the trendy factor without making a huge investment. Well it worked - I tried a lot of things, liked many but left most of them in the store because I either didn't *love* them or because the quality was just too shoddy, but ended up with two tops and this dress. I'm wearing it to work today and feel FABULOUS. (And got a compliment from a colleague who said it looked great and so on trend.) </p> <p>Just sharing this because I am so happy not just about this specific dress but also about having expanded my mind and because I just have so much fun getting a cheap little fashiony item - and not caring if it won't last beyond one season. Now I'm hoping to do more of this again, and getting better at combining classic items (like my beloved pencil skirts and button downs) with real trendy ones. Kind of like you have showed us a lot of lately, Angie. So this one is for you </p>
