You look fabulous in both of them - I like the prints and colours.</p> <p>I feel your pain re: dresses - I tried on so many last summer ... and didn't buy one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484317 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 04:35:16 +0000 kellygirl 484317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are lovely dresses! I think both will make nice additions to your wardrobe! I could see dressing them up with a blazer or making them more casual with a cropped denim jacket. Both of these would look great with boots too : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484312 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 04:23:58 +0000 Vix 484312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too prefer #2 -- I think the color and style are really great on you -- and think it might work better for you under sweaters or those elusive blazers. </p> <p>However, would love to hear how your experiments with both turn out. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484308 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 04:17:04 +0000 wannabe 484308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Angie, you wouldn't believe how hard it has been to find a dress with long sleeves. You'd think I lived in Florida. Luckily, proper winter only lasts about 2 months here so one can make do with sweaters and blazers.</p> <p>Suz, I took advantage of holiday sales and got the first dress super cheap (&lt;$20) and one for a good deal so money wasn't really an issue. I just want to be done with buying things I'm not happy with in the end.</p> <p>rae, I've been known to stock up on items once I find something I really like (to the point of feeling a bit sheepish and ridiculous).</p> <p>modgrl, next step is trying the dresses on with sweaters and stuff. Still lacking in the blazer department. Need to experiment this weekend.</p> <p>Amy &amp; Janet: thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484285 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 03:32:51 +0000 Janet 484285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both look great -- I have a slight preference for the cut of #1 but I love the colors in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484273 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 03:18:03 +0000 Amy 484273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you! Keep them for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484267 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 03:07:51 +0000 modgrl 484267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one better than the first. Sleeves would be nice for winter, or how about a structured blazer on top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484261 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 02:54:10 +0000 rae 484261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the opposite of Suz - when I have that hard a time finding an item, I want to get at least two... especially if they are as nice as those dresses. I LOVE those prints!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484237 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 02:35:01 +0000 Suz 484237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dresses, and YAY for pics!! </p> <p>My only caution would be that they are quite similar in style and if you are on a budget you might want to get one of these and keep trying with others for a different look. But it would be difficult to choose between them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484232 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 02:31:14 +0000 Angie 484232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are fab!! Flattering for sure, and comfy to boot. GREAT colours and good hem lemgth.</p> <p>I'd have preferred the dresses to be sleeveless or with elbow sleeves, but the grown-on sleeves are not a deal breaker. </p> <p>So nice to see you post, wannabe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-im-not-sure-dresses-and-i-were-meant-to-be#post-484196 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:37:10 +0000 wannabe 484196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So...I've been looking for a dress or two for weeks now, and have finally found some (maybe) passable choices. However, I don't want to keep them if they're just good enough. I've tried on so many dresses and had such a high rejection rate that I think I've lost the ability to judge the fit in an impartial manner. What do you think?</p> <p>#1 Knot-front peacock print dress</p> <p>#2 Surplice splattery-pattern print dress</p> <p>Sorry about the bad lighting but this was the best I could do at the time. </p>
