And good lord, if that dress and jeans are "rumpifiying" I probably shouldn't wear anything but giant baggy pants ever! (Meaning they both look great and I'm glad you're keeping the lot!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328490 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:40:36 +0000 Heather 328490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. I think the dress is constructed so well that it rumpifies in the best possible way. There! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328450 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 17:30:20 +0000 Scarlet 328450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay you wonderful people, thanks for humoring me.  I think I hit puberty around the time Kate Moss was modeling Calvin Kleins and all the girls were wearing men's jeans. I think I developed a  complex about actually having a butt and hips, although I am getting over it now...mostly. </p> <p>CocoL- LOL about keep re-committing to a look</p> <p>Sveta - Don't worry--it's not a real word thanks for checking back in. <br /> You crack me up. I haven't done much shopping this year and can't tell anymore  if I really love something or if I love it because it's new. If we go out together right now we could probably do some serious damage :)</p> <p>RandomT-Thanks for checking back in and for the big compliment :)</p> <p>Angie, you are the sweetest. No more dilly dally!</p> <p>And finally as a side note the construction of all of these pieces really is gorgeous. It's like a modern day miracle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328329 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:19:56 +0000 Lisa 328329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great set of finds, I vote keep to them all. And I don't see any booty issues, in the dresses or the jeans. And as a pear, that's the first place I look when I fit clothes. There's no pulling around the thighs or curving around the bottom of the bum in the dresses and the jeans show the bum but not in a super tight, trashy way. You are looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328326 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:12:30 +0000 kellygirl 328326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all, Scarlet. The new dress fits so well. I also really love the relaxed dress on you--different styles but oh so flattering! Love the crochet detailing on the tank--so sweet. You are so pretty, Scarlet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328323 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 13:56:39 +0000 Angie 328323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER rump. Keep the dress and no more dilly dally about </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328309 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 13:18:18 +0000 teri 328309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all. I can never have too many dresses. I think your rump looks great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328303 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 13:07:45 +0000 Sveta 328303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to look up what rumpifying means! If this dress is rumpifying on you I should be banned from sheath dresses forever! Go ahead and enjoy this dress, Scarlet - it looks wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328300 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:30:28 +0000 Betsy G 328300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress 1 is very flattering. Totally NOT rumpifying!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328270 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 08:12:30 +0000 Lavinia 328270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328254 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 07:05:26 +0000 CocoLion 328254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about the dress as it seems really similar to the one you're holding up. But I understand, as sometimes we need to keep re-committing to a look before we can get it out of our systems. ;-)</p> <p>I like the tank top a lot.</p> <p>The sweater is cute, it would look great with a shirt layered underneath.</p> <p>Jeans don't look tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328244 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 05:33:17 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 328244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still fantastic, Scarlet. KEEPER! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328225 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 04:53:02 +0000 Scarlet 328225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you so much, for your help. I haven't been shopping in awhile and I can't tell if I just want everything because it is new :)</p> <p>BUT I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PICTURE! The biggest thing I was concerned about with dress 1 is if it too rumpifying. I hope some folks will take a second or first look and let me know. I would be loathe to return a Killer item, but I didn't provide all the information. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328144 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 02:53:19 +0000 Heather 328144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, I love the entire lot, too. Keep! That dress is constructed beautifully. Perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328117 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 02:21:01 +0000 Angie 328117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulocity x4. Please keep it all! And thanks for the wonderful blog post comment you left on yesterday's Spring post :)</p> <p>I think frock #1 is KILLER. My best of the bunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328063 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 01:18:51 +0000 Sveta 328063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not very much help today because I like everything! (it is a good thing I did not go shopping today :-)) Love you in purple and deep blue!<br /> Those jeans look perfect on you for my inexperienced eye - I wish I can find jeans to look as good on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-328037 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:26:10 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 328037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another vote for "it's all good". I actually clicked on this thread from the home page because the dress looked so terrific. I think the gaping at the neckline in dress #1 is from the way you're holding the camera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327997 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 23:06:51 +0000 sarah 327997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both dresses look fantastic on tiny, little you. I could go either way on the cardi, and the tank looks like a great summer top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327977 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:38:01 +0000 Nancy 327977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all and the fit looks fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327918 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:40:58 +0000 Queen Mum 327918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it all looks great! keep the whole lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327902 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:18:18 +0000 Kari 327902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet - you know, it could also just be an effect from the way you are holding up your arm to take the picture. Maybe the fabric doesn't do this when you are standing normally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327900 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:14:03 +0000 Scarlet 327900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks lyn*. I was actually just trying out lipstick at home trying to get used to it. The jeans feel fine. It is just one of my paranoias... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327890 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 21:01:10 +0000 lyn* 327890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt-dress in pictures 5 and 6 is fantastic! I love it miles more than the dress in pics 1-4; I don't know why, but I'm just not feeling the vibe of Dress 1. I love the way Dress 2 hugs your hips very flatteringly </p> <p>I like the tank top more than the cardigan, but both pieces look versatile and would be fun to work with :)</p> <p>Side note 1: I love your lipstick!<br /> Side note 2: I think your jeans fit fine! Do they feel too tight? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327877 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:36:09 +0000 Scarlet 327877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - interesting point about dress 1. I didn't feel that way trying on the dress, but looking at the photos I can see your pointt. I think it may just be the nature of the fabric. Here is the dress on a model:<br /> <a href="http://eshop.mexx.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Mexx-DE-Site/de_DE/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start?SKU=N1ME2383" rel="nofollow">http://eshop.mexx.com/is-bin/I.....U=N1ME2383</a><br /> But is this good or bad?</p> <p>Sinead: Thanks very much! Yes I feel dress 1 is more chic than dress 2, but dress 2 is better for looking pulled together yet easy-going--the look I am most often going for... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327868 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:22:22 +0000 sinead 327868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep it all- and I love that dress. How gorgeous on you! It's not as casual as the one in #4, but you'll get plenty of wear out of it. Size-wise the pictures look fine- does it feel okay? A very flattering dress on you. I think the cardi is cute and the tank looks perfect for a hot summer day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327866 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:20:56 +0000 Kari 327866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I clicked on the photos before I read the text, and if anything, I wonder if dress #1 is too big in certain parts - it looks like it fits you very well through the body, but it looks like there is a fair bit of extra fabric in the neckline. (It looks like the dress has a somewhat stiff fabric, so I don't think that is supposed to be a drapey/cowl neckline, right?)</p> <p>I LOVE the shirtdress and am glad that you are set on keeping it! The dress looks so fantastic on you and seems like it would be a very versatile piece that you could dress down if needed.</p> <p>I also really like the colors in the cardigan on you, and vote to keep that piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-another-round#post-327861 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:08:53 +0000 Scarlet 327861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell me like it is, ladies, I only have room in my wardrobe for fabulosity.</p> <p>Exhibit 1. Dress (shown with heels and flats). I so wanted this dress, but only a tiny size that I had never even heard of was available, but it sort of fits (a size larger is now re-available). The waist is higher than any dress I ever wear. It is a little bootylicious. What do you think? It is oh-so similar to another dress (NOT ironed) I recently bought but with a much more relaxed fit. (I am keeping dress 2 as I already washed and worn it.) They are both similar to another dress I have in navy, but never mind about that...</p> <p>Exhibit 2. Cotton cardigan. I liked the color and the pseudo animal/camouflage design.</p> <p>Exhibit 3. Crochet tank top. Liked the color and thought the neckline would be cute for layering.</p> <p>All purchases from Mexx.</p> <p>side note 1. Are these jeans too tight?</p> <p>side note 2. I just realized recently I might have slight IT tendencies, but I actually like a strong shoulder line. (Although in the back view of dress one, it is overlap with the door knob making one shoulder look a little funky.) </p>
