I have a similar short, drop waisted, mixed-media&nbsp;dress from Loft that is also quite straight in the middle. The hemline limits where I can wear mine,&nbsp;but DH likes it and I got it on super clearance, so CPW is low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369655 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 12:33:53 +0000 Sveta 1369655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a stunning outfit on you and will be great with the dark tights if this length does not bother you ( it would be bothering me as too short). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369650 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 12:01:45 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1369650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belle, yes I think Capitol Hill Style mentioned the boots. I'd been admiring them and was happy to see the sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369602 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 06:16:26 +0000 catgirl 1369602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress.&nbsp; </p> <p>Biased on the boots because I have a bit of poison eye for boots with skinny heels so am benched.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369487 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 02:00:30 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1369487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this outfit is luxe, gorgeous, and a little unexpected because of the leather skirt. &nbsp; And your figure is a knockout! &nbsp; So... I guess it really comes down to this: &nbsp; will you wear this outfit and feel great in it? &nbsp; Or will you feel fidgety and uncomfortable? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If I had the money in my budget right now, I would buy that dress myself!</p> <p>Those boots are to die for! &nbsp; Are they the ones Belle talked about on the Capitol Hill Style blog?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369476 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 01:33:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1369476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both look good on you. I would prefer the dress an inch longer--but I only had this thought looking at the side and back views. So it may be the way you're standing or the camera angle. The dress doesn't sound or look like the same one as in the web photo--there are no pleats in that one, and the faux leather looks shinier. Do you think it's a slightly different style? (Not that it really matters, and I like the one on you better than the one on the model.)<br />I'd wear the boots around for a while before deciding. They look fantastic, but the feel is very important. I think the leather could be somewhat supple and still stay up on the leg. But my calves always fill out the boot, so perhaps that's why it works that way for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369445 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 00:28:52 +0000 Jaime 1369445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots. The dress looks a bit too&nbsp;mini to me, only because you are wearing it with heels. The actual length would be fine with tights in my (somewhat prudish?) book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369427 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:54:49 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1369427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both and the dress looks gorgeous on you&nbsp;but I think the combination of the high heeled sleek boot with the short(ish) dress is a touch on the overtly sexy end of the spectrum. &nbsp;I am VERY conservative though so take my opinion with a grain of salt.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369415 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:23:42 +0000 Anonymous 1369415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning. I'm sure your DH will approve of this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369414 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:21:00 +0000 Janet 1369414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. If the length is comfortable for you, I think the dress looks great (and I'm a little envious because I so wish I could wear something like this). Just make sure the boots are truly comfortable before you commit. There are a lot of tall black boots out there, if these are a bit too tall for you, there's sure to be a better one elsewhere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369412 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:20:51 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1369412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sitting in the dress was fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369410 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:17:38 +0000 bj1111 1369410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both. The boots remind me of the choos. But if it hits you when you sit down, they may be too tall.</p> <p>Did you do the sit test for the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369409 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:13:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1369409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely didn't like the back picture when I saw it. I'm not sure if I failed to adjust it or if it's the dress or if it's bad posture. I'll have to check again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369398 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 22:51:04 +0000 Anonymous 1369398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the boots and the dress a lot. The dress looks like it fits well, and doesn't look too big through the body - at least to me. &nbsp;It looks pretty short though (especially from the back)&nbsp;&nbsp;- what happens when you sit down? &nbsp;It might be my own new phobia about short skirts and dresses though... </p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/"></a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/k-r-long-sleeve-black-dress-and-knee-high-boots#post-1369396 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 22:44:24 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1369396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these items are orders from the Bloomingdales sale. I have been planning to get knee high black boots to wear with dresses and skirts this fall. And, as ever, I am hoping to wear more dresses (it brings happiness to my husband) so I'm looking for some long sleeved pieces for the fall.</p> <p>My thoughts on the Bailey 44 dress: it's a soft viscose knit, not very heavy. The item description says faux leather skirt. I think it just looks shiny and pleated, which is okay. The drop waist is nice to balance my wide shoulders, but I think there is not enough narrowness in the middle. Opinions?</p> <p>The Cole Haan boots are a good height and are comfortable, except that if I sit in a low chair they press behind my knee. For the price I thought they'd be a little softer, but I don't have many tall boots so perhaps they need to be on the stiffer side to stay up?</p> <p>Note: I would likely wear this with tights (probably grey or burgundy with the black dress). Just going for the higher contrast bare legs in the photo to make the items easier to see.</p> <p>Anyway, I'm interested to hear your thoughts overall.</p> <p>ETA: I tried the dress on again. IIT seems that the back length doesn't work for me. It's definitely shorter in back than in front. It's going back. I think I am doing to keep the boots, because I'm a fan of the height, narrow heel, and the calf width. </p>
