Such a great print and I like it all the ways you have tried it (fab with the pants too). Also keep the red blazer, gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2018236 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 09:55:48 +0000 Anonymous 2018236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it more with the blazer since it's streamlining (and such a happy color!). Is it comfortable with the loose sleeves though? I find loose short sleeves bunch under jackets and make me mad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2018223 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 07:05:41 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2018223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The belt helps. I like #3. Do you?</p> <p> Btw, I saw that Angie mentioned orthotics with adhesive backing in a different post. Could you get some made to attach to sandals? Even if your health insurance doesn’t pay for them, you might be able to pay for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2018222 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 07:03:54 +0000 anchie 2018222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your valuable feedback. I decided to listen to my feelings and return top in 1. I had a few chances to wear it last week but I never reached for it. So back it goes. I haven’t decided about dress yet but leaning to sending it back too.<br /> Belt is here and I tried 2-pieces dress again with it but don’t think I will keep the belt either. Maybe cognac belt would be better choice? I also tried the top untucked and tucked in with the blazer. This blazer did not get any love when I did my spring summer blazer review and I have put it in a donate box, but does it work in this combination? Please ignore my bare feet, struggling with the shoes at the moment, still haven’t found any spring summer shoes that can fit my orthotics.<br /> I may started a new thread on this since this will probably get buried in this old thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2018215 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 04:56:41 +0000 bj1111 2018215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fyi...i think a matchy matchy persimmon jacket and pants would be outstanding </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2018057 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 12:26:49 +0000 lyn67 2018057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blue printed shirt(pls keep!) and the dress, too! You could always dress it up with heels or a jacket of sorts but is not a cocktail of course-pls keep it for work! Then I think the matching top is a bit overwhelming you-but could go well with&nbsp; some straight pants/pencil Or you could take in the sides and shorten the sleeves a bit if wanted to keep for the matching skirt set! The red blazer is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017944 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 20:02:46 +0000 Bennett 2017944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 looks quite preppy the way it is styled. Maybe better as a set with the matching skirt, if you love it?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />#2 dress appears quite casual, maybe not ideal for the chi-chi graduation!&nbsp;<br />#4 top + yellow pants, top + matching pleated skirt, and obi belt - ALL OF THIS IS PERFECT, any way you mix it up. I also see this set as ideal for daughter's event, if you add dressy shoes and accessories.&nbsp;<br />#7 blazer is yummy, and striking the way you have styled it as a column of color. Please don't be shy about wearing it this way! You have what it takes to stand out. But also great for mixing, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017937 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 19:08:56 +0000 Suzanne 2017937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>+1 for the shirt/skirt combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017802 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 08:49:00 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2017802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt that matches #1. Not sure if it’s for you, but it’s a great skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017713 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 22:03:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2017713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Jussie on the matching top to the skirt. The skirt is beautiful but I think you can do so much better on top. However, if there’s one thing that I’ve learnt here it’s that pattern is very personal! I think you should trust your own preferences rather than let others (including me) persuade you to like it or not like it.</p> <p>The dress and blazer look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017628 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 13:57:15 +0000 Helena 2017628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Follow your gut, but all these look gorgeous on you to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017625 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 13:37:13 +0000 Anonymous 2017625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m with Angie and kkards. Love the two piece dress worn together, and apart. &nbsp;I want the blazer to be just a fraction looser across the front, but if you never wear it closed anyways, then that's a moot &nbsp;point. &nbsp;Agree with the others in that the dress might be a bit casual for such a fancy-sounding grad. &nbsp;A bougie event , as we like to say &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017580 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 11:05:00 +0000 jussie 2017580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blue and pink top and the orange blazer.<br /> The top that matches the skirt is a bit underwhelming in my opinion. The pattern is pretty but the shape is so-so. But I see other people really like it- so it just goes to show, certain things really just come down to personal taste!!<br /> The dress is so lovely but you need more razzle dazzle for a formal event for sure! But it would be nice to keep for casual and wear with a denim jacket :).<br /> I was SO tempted to order the addlestone blazer in the light pink colour. The orange one is fabulous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017546 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 07:00:31 +0000 anchie 2017546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my. So much love for the matching set, I hope you are not pulling late April's fool joke on me  <br /> I am team wear and wearing new blazer this morning. <b>Angie</b>, just realized that it is actually orange and the same color as our old Zara blazer. Just saying  <br /> Top in #1 has a matching skirt. Also just saying ;)<br /> Leaning towards returning the dress. Will need your help to find something more suitable.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017544 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 05:54:34 +0000 taylor 2017544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love everything here !<br /> The colors are brilliant on you ...with the pop pop of white in your footwear...killer looks !<br /> Excellent haul ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017528 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 03:01:52 +0000 Carla 2017528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! I LOVE the top that matches your pleated skirt. Would the combination of top and skirt (with belt) work for DD's event! It is very elegant looking.</p> <p>FWIW - of all the things I've seen on the forum in the past year, your pleated skirt and top are the items I most covet. Unfortunately the retailer site (Esprit) states it does not do business in Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping/page/2#post-2017525 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 02:22:40 +0000 Bonnie 2017525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the dress and the matching top worn both ways. I ordered the same dress, in a different color, hoping that I could wear it to a daytime summer wedding but if it's too casual for a preteen graduation, I guess it won't work for me either. Too bad, it looks fab on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017513 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 00:58:55 +0000 Jaime 2017513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt set and red blazer are my favorites but I am all about sets lately. I like the blue dress but if you aren't feeling it you can do better. I do like the first top also but again, you have to feel it to wear a pattern like that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017497 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 00:12:31 +0000 Sal 2017497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blazer the best.

Kkards, you are not the only one who likes the matching top and skirt worn together, I love it too. Anchie, everything looks great on you, including the dress, but I do think it is a bit too casual for the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017494 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 00:08:51 +0000 Angie 2017494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kkards</b>, I wrote that the two-piece dress is STUNNING.

Omg I love #5! Please please wear this this way!!! &amp; the dress is Fab! Both are made for you!<br /> I like the blazer but maybe prejudiced, as I’ve got the same one on it’s way.<br /> I like but don’t love #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017476 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 23:08:28 +0000 Angie 2017476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Angie<b></b> always wears flats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017470 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 22:58:22 +0000 Anonymous 2017470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah-probably something dressier than-since Angie wears that dress with flats!

Love that column of red. My absolute fav is the poly top with the yellow pants. I agree the top is too much with the matching skirt, but it really comes into its own with pants. So just wear it with solid bottoms that pick up colors in the top as you did here.</p> <p>The dress is nice. Since you have time, you might want to keep looking.</p> <p>The sweater in #1 is cute and looks nice on you, but if you're not feeling it, listen to that voice. Instead of tucking in the sweater, you might want to try&nbsp; wearing it out to see if you like it better. If not, then listen to your intuition and return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017440 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:30:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2017440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What’s the opposite of synergy? That top and skirt together! Seriously, they’re great pieces individually, but together they just fight for the spotlight. </p> <p>I agree 1 doesn’t look like you. Why make yourself be/wear something you’re not? Return. </p> <p>The dress I’m not sure about. It looks great on you, no question there. I hear you on wanting to be able to focus on her outfit. But make sure you aren’t settling so much that you’ll regret it as the event approaches. </p> <p>A new red blazer for you—yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017439 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:30:50 +0000 anchie 2017439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni NZ - thank you, I may keep a dress, but will probably need a different one for graduation.<br /> suntiger - I agree with you, but this scool is very elite, kids from royal families, ambassadors, oligarchs and celebrities go there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---spring-shopping#post-2017435 Tue, 02 Apr 2019 20:13:11 +0000 Anonymous 2017435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't a coctail dress a bit overkill?
