I *will* wear the tee and jacket together as soon as the weather allows. I must be feeling a little braver with the geo.<br /><br />Lantana, Mr Bowie certainly is a fine age, like a good cognac.<br /><br />Inge, I am so happy you approve. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904940 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:03:45 +0000 Janet 904940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these looks, and I never thought of wearing those shoes with a dress! </p> <p>If you don't want a visible bra strap and want to keep cool, I wonder if you can find the little bandeau tops that have become popular here. Something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.6pm.com/calvin-klein-solids-bandeau-top-mandarin?zfcTest=mat%3A1" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/calvin-klei.....st=mat%3A1</a></p> <p>I have one in black, white, and a couple of colors and I love them for a little coverage with barer cuts in the summer when I don't feel like adding a full layer in the form of a tank or cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904935 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:55:39 +0000 Deborah 904935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The Docs look great! &nbsp;And I love the dress. &nbsp;I do think it can be dressed up or down. &nbsp;Quite versatile. &nbsp;And your summer capsule is coming along beautifully. <br />Love this combo.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904894 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:28:55 +0000 lyn67 904894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, love them al!! Docs are so special with the dress. Love the greys and whites&nbsp;for summer, and you have a beautiful body, for that bodycon, no worries:-) Ref bra straps, what about a halter neck tied on your&nbsp;neck&nbsp;under hair, or a multiway strap bra, which criss-crosses down your back, and tied front under the bust/waist? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904864 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 06:50:02 +0000 Lantana 904864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both these looks on you. As for the visible bra issue, maybe you could go without one? Or find one that hooks really low at the back? The skirt and tee is out of this world. Not only is it good for thirty-something, I'd venture to say it's good for any age if one wears it with confidence.<br /> And, really, the guy on your tee is himself of a certain age, is he not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904779 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:37:44 +0000 Beth Ann 904779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fabulous in both outfits!&nbsp; Love the modern strength of these looks, and the small bits of playfulness, too.&nbsp; As for the bra strap --- I'd probably use a bandilini for such occasions, but it's not offensive to me.&nbsp; At a rock gig I might have the teensiest concern that someone might, well, pop the back of my bra strap like Jim Mather did in the 6th grade (not that I'm carrying a grudge or anything)!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904772 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:31:32 +0000 Jaime 904772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love! I wouldn't wear the bra strap exposed anywhere but a sweaty rock gig (I am pretty prudish that way) but you look fabulous - also love the Bowie outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904771 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:29:17 +0000 Suz 904771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I. Love. It. All.&nbsp;<br /><br />You look amazing, Jules. That Bowie T is beyond fabulous on you. And I love the new dress, too. As for Inge's shoes...they look fantastic on you. And they are so much fun. You will get compliments every time you wear them.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904765 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:21:21 +0000 Carla 904765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those shoes look like they were designed for you, and the Bowie outfit is too cool! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904756 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:16:33 +0000 Angie 904756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVING the Bowie tee! Wear your geometric patterned blazer over it? So fun, Jules! <br /><br />The shift looks stellar with Inge's old shoes! KILLER. And I have no issue with bra exposure when it looks like the bra is part of the outfit - like with this frock here.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904425 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:08:16 +0000 kellygirl 904425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aww, you are so fab, R&amp;J! I love all of these. The two tone oxfords are most excellent on you. LOVE the new dress and the bra strap. The midi skirt and graphic tee are perfection. I love your style! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904416 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:58:11 +0000 Inge 904416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My pleasure, Jules:-)<br /><br />I might be a little biased, but really think the Docs suit you very well. Love them in this great minimalist outfit with the fab grey dress and dark hosiery. And my word, how utterly fantastic is the midi skirt with Bowie tee!! Both you and Mr. Bowie rock!! Love the bag you are carrying here too.<br /><br />P.S. I have no problem with the bra back strap. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904342 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:25:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 904342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So glad Inge's Doc Sara's found a loving home! Aren't they amazing?<br /><br />Love the dress on you and the bra strap doesn't bother me, especially for certain events.&nbsp;<br /><br />And the second outfit with the tee and skirt is just FAB! Oh my - love this monotone capsule. Of course anything with David Bowie in it is gonna get raves from... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904305 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 19:01:17 +0000 RoseandJoan 904305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ceit, it is the double layer tube skirt also from Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33057&amp;storeId=12556&amp;productId=9717748&amp;langId=-1&amp;categoryId=&amp;parent_category_rn=&amp;searchTerm=10J33DGRY&amp;resultCount=1&amp;geoip=home" rel="nofollow">http://www.topshop.com/webapp/.....catalogId=</a>&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904302 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:56:00 +0000 Anonymous 904302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress is great and the shoes look great too!<div><br /></div><div>I must know, where is yor midi skirt from? I have been looking for one like that for ages!</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inges-doc-saras-a-kr-and-more-monotone-madness#post-904293 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:41:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 904293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The shoe fairy delivered a little package from Belgium today and I could not wait to test out these darling new peds. They are a little stronger than my usual shoe choice but I just know these are going to become a&nbsp; firm favourite<b>...thank you Inge.</b><br /><br />The dress pictured arrived last week and is from Topshop <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33057&amp;storeId=12556&amp;productId=9717748&amp;langId=-1&amp;categoryId=&amp;parent_category_rn=&amp;searchTerm=10J33DGRY&amp;resultCount=1&amp;geoip=home" rel="nofollow">http://www.topshop.com/webapp/.....catalogId=</a>&nbsp;, I have bought it with the family beach holiday in my mind but I am optimistic this could be dressed up or down and be quite the workhorse.&nbsp; But what say you? Is it a keep or a return? Honest opinions welcomed about the bra strap, 95% of the time I would anticipate wearing a cami underneath the dress so the strap would not be visible but on occasion (such as at a sweaty rock gig) would the exposed back strap be acceptable?<br /><br />And last but not least a little sneak peak from the monotone capsule I am building for the summer, this outfit would almost certainly be worn with a jacket but does it read as too bodycon for a lady (I do try) in her mid thirties?<br /><br />TIA&nbsp;xoxo&nbsp;
