I think the lenght is good. You look great in that outfit.<br /> Both dresses look great on you. You have made the right choice to keep the plaid one - it is a bit more interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932697 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 18:43:29 +0000 JAileen 1932697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three, but get that the floral isn’t right for you. I really love the cityscape dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932665 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 15:32:47 +0000 Christina F. 1932665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aquamarine</b>, that's a good idea! I'll try it out. Do you wash them first, or just straight in the dryer?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932625 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 12:58:07 +0000 Aquamarine 1932625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all on you! This has been a great season to stock up on so many things. Usually I dread summer dressing. You can’t always hide so-so fit behind layers so items have to be spot-on.</p> <p>It’s hard to tell if the jeans are a good length but that’s an easy fix. I always throw new denim in the dryer *just once* and sometimes that shrinks the length enough to work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932613 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 12:24:53 +0000 Christina F. 1932613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I lean toward keeping the jeans as is for now. If the length is JFE rather than perfect, so be it. I can always change my mind and hack them later. unfrumped, I do like that the silhouette is different. It feels more summery and relaxed. </p> <p>The plaid dress is an easy alteration. </p> <p>Stays fit, you are right about floral dresses! The plaid is more unusual right now, yet feels classic. This dress I got below would fulfill the same functions as the floral one, which is another reason I didn’t take it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932518 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 00:30:12 +0000 unfrumped 1932518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the easy fit of the white jeans. If you have these and a slimmer pair, you can get slightly different outfit looks but still have white jeans in rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932509 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 23:43:24 +0000 Staysfit 1932509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans fit well and the length looks okay, but if you want to hack them they supposedly will fray again once they are washed. I love you in the plaid dress and am glad you decided to keep. The plaid pattern on that style dress is unusual and makes it well worth adding to your closet. You comment about dresses is right on target, I think floral dresses in particular, are multiplying like weeds! I love dresses, and have tried to add only those that add something unique or different to my current collection but stay within my style parameters. I would happily wear a dress every day if the weather allowed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932506 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 23:40:51 +0000 Becky 1932506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about the length of the jeans; it looks good, but as you say, the angle can make it tricky to really tell. If the rest of the plaid dress is perfect, by all means, have the shoulders taken up. You are wise to pass on a dress that won't be of use ot you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932501 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 23:31:12 +0000 Anonymous 1932501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking the dress up in the shoulders should be an easy alteration. The length of the jeans looks ok to me, much like it is on the model, but I am not good at lengths and suspect that a couple of inches shorter would create the best proportions for your height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932483 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 22:31:16 +0000 Sal 1932483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans and plaid dress on you - both look great.</p> <p>I think the floral is a nice dress but not as good as some of your other dresses.&nbsp; Good call to return.</p> <p>I love summer dresses too.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932460 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 19:47:07 +0000 Dianna 1932460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the white jeans on you. Length looks fine to me, but I will leave that to the experts. Dress is fab on you, I hope you keep it. I like the other dress, but if you have no occasions to wear it, back it goes, specially considering that you have mentioned having tight closet space. You have had a great dress season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932440 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 18:12:44 +0000 Suz 1932440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know! It's amazing there is so much good stuff. Most summers it is all gone by now. Agree, too, that there's no reason to keep anything we feel less than 100% about right now. Something else will turn up soon enough.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932434 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 18:04:39 +0000 Christina F. 1932434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>Suz,</b> the dress I am passing on IS a great dress, and it does look good. They say we have reached peak TV, with too much for people watch. I think we've also reached peak dress -- so many great options that we can't keep and wear all of them!!! I also have that BR dress from Angie's post today, plus another Boden dress I am evaluating at home. Plus the Boden and Loft dresses I got earlier this season. This print may not be 100% me, as much as I like crazy prints. It's easy with this dress bounty to leave behind anything I have even the slightest qualm about.</div><div><br /></div><div>The plaid dress, on the other hand, will be great for work and weekend, and I think the style is pretty classic.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am okay with the jeans length as is. I have plenty of other ankle-baring pieces. I think others have a better eye for the right length than I do, which is why I'm checking. :)&nbsp; But now that I'm a white pant convert, I'm disliking the bottleneck.<br /> (My second pair of white pants is currently a bit tight, though I'm working on that!)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>How is there still good stuff in the stores right now?!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932432 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 17:58:25 +0000 Suz 1932432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, all these items look fantastic on you! I think the jeans are great. If you decide they are too long after all, you can hack them yourself. But in the photo, they look good.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the plaid dress -- you look wonderful in it and it seems like a versatile item.&nbsp;</p> <p>The floral is also really pretty on you but I understand your reasons for passing. There are only so many dresses a woman can wear, although I seem hell bent on proving otherwise!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-jeans-and-dress-plus-bonus-dress#post-1932431 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 17:52:05 +0000 Christina F. 1932431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another dress - you don’t say?! But I also have some jeans this time around. </p> <p>1. White jeans in a different cut than my other ones. I like a lot but want a gut check on the length. With the hem treatment, they can’t be altered to be a true ankle length. I can't take good pictures of pant length, but it's almost to my foot top.</p> <p>2. I like this too, but it would need the usual taking up in the shoulders. Worth it? I could order a petite size up, but I like the skirt length as is. This appeals to my summer preppy shadow style. </p> <p>3. Bonus dress review! I did not keep this and am NOT looking to be convinced. I have no occasions for it. The other dress will go in the work rotation. But it’s an interesting shape that we don’t see much of these days (waist high and nipped in just a bit). It may interest some of you. It’s poly, though, which is another reason I passed. It would be good for a casual summer wedding, if anyone is looking for that kind of item.</p>
