You have SO MUCH FUN! I love it!</p> <p>(Krishnidoux - hee hee - I think I actually went through a medieval monk chic phase when I was younger.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452581 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:26:02 +0000 rachylou 452581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had the thought of a long skinny skirt, of like material, in terms of styling it. That's what I would do. If I could find one, maybe one with wide, black and white horizontal stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452483 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:50:09 +0000 Nakidra 452483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sheila .... it's not for me, but I could see you wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452482 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:49:26 +0000 krishnidoux 452482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's going into winter aren't you concerned about one leg being cold? I mean for that price, they could at least provide some coverage to BOTH legs... </p> <p>I see what is appealing in this strange costume, it's medieval monk chic revisited. A voluntary simplicity statement of the XXIst kind. And I'm all for simplicity. But gosh, only one leg, isn't it pushing it a bit far? The word that comes to my mind is "shred". (French: loque). </p> <p>Another possible unconscious appeal: the very challenge this accoutrement poses. I mean, VERY difficult to pull off, even for a prepubescent athletic rectangle. The punishing cut ignores any curves. The material will underline every little bulge and if it doesn't find any, will try to invent some. And should you survive this treatment, the color will drain away any life you have left. The hood makes it tricky to accessorize, as it's not meant to be. </p> <p>Sorry, these are my honest thoughts. </p> <p>The booties are AWESOME though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452474 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:32:44 +0000 Sheila 452474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm...in Seattle you'd probably have to wear tights or leggings under it year-round. Can you calculate the $$ of cost/per/wear? I could see this at an art gallery opening, for instance, but not at a job interview. How many places can you see yourself wearing this? In my life, it would be zero but in The Wonderful World of Anna, I bet you might be able to wear this way more times than I could. I like how your mind thinks, Anna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452471 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:22:36 +0000 annagybe 452471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well for now, going into winter I was thinking of layer a longe sleeve black tee under it, tights and my flat SW OTK boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452468 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:04:09 +0000 catgirl 452468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elfquest! I still have some issues sitting in a box somewhere... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452466 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:02:43 +0000 ironkurtin 452466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMIGOD someone mentioned Elfquest! Dang! That made my day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452460 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:48:02 +0000 Heather 452460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I vote, I want to know how you would rock it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452433 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:49:44 +0000 CocoLion 452433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way it looks from the back but dislike the front view. I think it looks ill-fitting from the front on the model.</p> <p>If you get it make sure it is returnable as there may be fit issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452430 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:46:04 +0000 rachylou 452430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>um, ya... It's strange. I mean, I like weird... but I think if you wear it, you will hear "elfquest" comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452401 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:48:52 +0000 ironkurtin 452401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's Rick Owens, so it's either awesome or can only be worn by someone six feet tall and flat as a board. I love the pics on the model, not sure if the panels will fall correctly if you're actually shaped like a real woman. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452378 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:17:18 +0000 Saretta 452378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE it, especially the hood and the assymetrical hem. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452375 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:13:14 +0000 rae 452375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last tier/flap at the bottom seems kind of tacked-on to me, even though I love the rest of it. I think there are probably similar items out there that execute the look better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452366 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:45:04 +0000 celia 452366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is appealing and I can see it with opaque thights or leggings as Rita suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452364 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:42:08 +0000 modgrl 452364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's cool but it's a $200 t shirt. How do you feel about that? Unless you dry clean it, it is going to look a mess after 1 wash. Well that being said, it's cool in a cyberpunk/post apocalyptic kind of way. I could totally see it over leggings with your Acne strappy monster wedges. GOTG done Anna style... ps- what happened to SYC? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452360 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:23:44 +0000 DressLover 452360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. It is exaggerating the idea of a slit in a skirt in a statement-making design. I can totally see this on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452355 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:13:03 +0000 Anonymous 452355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little of both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452350 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:07:35 +0000 Janet 452350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about the hood, but the rest of it is awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452347 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:04:26 +0000 MsMary 452347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say "strangely awesome!" Anna, I can totally see you in that dress!</p> <p>Plus if they ever remake "The Seventh Seal" you will have your costume all ready! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452346 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:03:05 +0000 Mo 452346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it interesting, and appealing, but wouldn't wear it bare legged like the model! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-just-strange-or-awesome#post-452344 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:59:25 +0000 annagybe 452344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.oaknyc.com/dark-shadow-layer-hood-dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oaknyc.com/dark-sha.....dress.html</a></p> <p>Cause it appeals to me in a way. </p>
