Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3/page/2#post-2028619 Sun, 19 May 2019 15:34:11 +0000 Jenn 2028619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven’t read the other comments, but the dress looks fab with flats (are those your Rollies?) and I think it would work with sneakers as well. Wear it lots this summer. I think you can let the other two go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3/page/2#post-2028585 Sun, 19 May 2019 09:55:15 +0000 Jenni NZ 2028585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must be quite difficult when things are made by your friend to be quite as picky. My best friend who is often a shopping buddy as well ( less so now that I am trying to buy less) donated me a top and was so excited it fit me that I feel obliged to keep it and have worn it only twice in 3 years... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3/page/2#post-2028487 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:14:10 +0000 Sal 2028487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great - the tunic has probably had only 10-12 wears (I don’t track) but I guess we all make mistakes....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3/page/2#post-2028483 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:08:40 +0000 Jaime 2028483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress works really well with flats and would do so with sneakers. The other two will be great finds for someone else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3/page/2#post-2028481 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:04:05 +0000 DonnaF 2028481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're keeping the dress. I would keep it fluid as is to wear casually.</p> <p>I found the car coat's sleeves a little short. And no good if it's scratchy unless you like wearing a scarf every time you wear it.</p> <p>I think I would like the tunic more if the fabric had slightly more body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028477 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:53:25 +0000 Anonymous 2028477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Sterling : &nbsp;keep dress, donate the other two. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028469 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:36:46 +0000 hereforthecake 2028469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is worth keeping. Looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028457 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:26:25 +0000 Gigi 2028457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read the other responses yet.</p> <p>1: This looks like a nice coat, but it looks a little too classic for your style. I would probably edit it out and give someone else the chance to wear it. It looks like it is probably well made.</p> <p>2: This is a nice piece--fit and proportions are good--but I'm not in awe over it. If you're not loving it, I would send it off to another home.</p> <p>3. LOVE this one! If you really like it and would like to spend the money to get it altered, I would do so. It's really gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028402 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:12:40 +0000 Sal 2028402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes exactly Staysfit- I do have pieces that are classic or essential or just casual but these pieces don’t quite work for me anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028380 Sat, 18 May 2019 20:14:24 +0000 Staysfit 2028380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress best. I think it says “relaxed bold elegant” more than the other two. The tunic is just bold casual, and the coat is classic and relaxed looking but not really elegant or bold. I like the colors of the floral print in the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028365 Sat, 18 May 2019 19:11:50 +0000 Sal 2028365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. It has been helpful!!</p> <p>The coat is going - it has scratchy wool on my neck. It is quite roomy with enough room for layering for my climate (sweater and scarf). The colours don’t thrill me though.</p> <p>I am ready for the tunic to go- it is my last one and I have never been wild on them on me - I don’t feel great in them. </p> <p>The dress is the one that I will hold on to. I was harassed into buying it in a thrift shop- an upmarket one where it is curated stock, good brands, Prices about $30-$50 instead of $5. Jon really likes it, and I think it is flattering although not the trendy style- but a classic style. It does work with flats - so it would be good for bbq or lunches etc. or even working from home. It is lined which is good and bad. Now I have it I feel I will keep it at least til summer and see in season how I feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028350 Sat, 18 May 2019 17:31:34 +0000 Cardiff girl 2028350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep coat and dress ,top can go.Is this helping?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028335 Sat, 18 May 2019 16:54:19 +0000 Anonymous 2028335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat can go and the tunic as well.</p> <p>I really like the dress, it looks fresh and sunny on you and the pattern placement is super well done and flattering. It doesn't look too big from here haha but if it makes you feel anything but great and you're not interested in tailoring it let it move on to someone else.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028329 Sat, 18 May 2019 16:31:41 +0000 Lesley 2028329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda love the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028322 Sat, 18 May 2019 16:05:07 +0000 DJP 2028322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Bonnie said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028320 Sat, 18 May 2019 15:56:00 +0000 Bonnie 2028320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is fab. The coat and tunic are OK but if you are not wanting to wear them, let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028278 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:31:58 +0000 Eliza 2028278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress! I think it loves you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028273 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:13:48 +0000 smittie 2028273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat is maybe a bit too small? But it would probably be good open. I think you can do better. I think this shape is more suited to a lighter weight fabric.</p> <p>The black and white top looks like a good fit. You can embolden it with some accessories.</p> <p>The dress looks like a good fluid fit. It is not as fitted as I normally see on you so it really depends on how you feel in a Bigger size.<br /> It’s an excellent shape though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028272 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:08:02 +0000 Anonymous 2028272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress! One should have a slightly large dress to fall back on for when you plan to eat or just feel a bit bloated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028268 Sat, 18 May 2019 13:59:08 +0000 SarahD8 2028268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you! Try styling it with sneakers, play up the casual ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-retire-x3#post-2028263 Sat, 18 May 2019 13:50:15 +0000 JAileen 2028263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fab - keep! The coat looks good to me. Is it comfortable? If so, keep. The tunic doesn’t look bad, but if you’re tired of it, donate. </p>
