Keep, keep, most definitely!! p.s. What a fun 24-hour birthday celebration you had for your DS. That kind of menu is right up my alley! Plus, I like the fire pit idea, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685663 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:11:54 +0000 Jjsloane 685663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that dress! So fun and fluid. I also like the jacket although would prefer it shorter with this particular dress.<br /> Yikes I just found it on Bluefly for $49 today!<br /> <a href="http://www.bluefly.com/calvin-klein-sapphire-brush-stroke-printed-knit-jersey-long-sleeve-dress/PRODUCT_FEED/319556301/detail.fly?gclid=CMGa1a2a0bECFQhN4AodkHEAUQ&#038;partner=Gate_CSE_Google+Product+Ads_Calvin+Klein_Dresses" rel="nofollow">http://www.bluefly.com/calvin-.....in_Dresses</a><br /> Wanna be dress twins Shannon? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685609 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:20:10 +0000 Claudia 685609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big fan of that dress here. Very flattering, great colors/pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685607 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:16:51 +0000 Suz 685607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness you are a clever shopper! These look great. You'll get a lot of wear from both I expect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685546 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:44:49 +0000 texstyle 685546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the dress a lot - it's very flattering on you and good for fall! I think the jacket makes it more modern - even though I shy away from heavy contrast stripes for myself, looking at you in it makes me want one. Great finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685128 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:56:40 +0000 fern 685128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rae said ^. I think you have some kind of dress magic. Dress karma? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685106 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:26:32 +0000 rae 685106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both! You always find the BEST dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685103 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:19:43 +0000 JR 685103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress! And I think it looks lovely on you. I wish I could justify buying it for myself! Assuming my local Winners had it...</p> <p>The blazer I don't like at all, but please note I almost never like striped blazers period, so you're probably better off ignoring me on that point. I would rather see this dress with a plain blazer or even a denim jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685080 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:00:42 +0000 sarah 685080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! That dress is great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685068 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:51:24 +0000 qfbrenda 685068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685060 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:36:54 +0000 catgirl 685060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, the first thing I thought when I saw this dress on you is how elongating and slenderizing it is. The pattern does not bother me at all. </p> <p>I have a similar striped jacket so I vote yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685057 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:34:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 685057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Angie has spoken - that's that then! It's funny how you like the blazer and dress together Angie - I had just put them on that way 'cause I was too lazy to change out of the dress to show the blazer! You are soooo adorable with how much you love posting together!</p> <p>Jonesy - yay for our birthday boys! Baked the cake this morning as a matter of fact - triple layer chocolate with vanilla cream between the layers and vanilla icing with sliced strawberries on top. My son's favourite. He's having three of his friends sleep over so we're ordering in pizza for the boys and they're going to stay up all night playing video games and then have a midnight bonfire in the backyard - weather permitting (we have a fire pit). Then in the morning I'm making them all chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. I truly like all his friends so should be fun. What are you up to for the celebrations? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685040 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:06:26 +0000 Angie 685040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We posted at the same time, Jonesy. HAHAAHAH!!! It always cracks me up. I'm so simple minded. </p> <p>Happy birthday to the dear sons of YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685039 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:04:50 +0000 Jonesy 685039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to mention that my son's birthday is also tomorrow (he turns 14)! Will you be up late tonight baking a cake just like me :)?</p> <p>Maybe try the jacket with your BF jeans and a T or button down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685038 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:04:47 +0000 Angie 685038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the frock WITH the striped jacket. Keep, keep, keep!!!</p> <p>A perfect cold weather frock. Maybe shorten the sleeves a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685035 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:02:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 685035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm...the more I look at the blazer (both on me in the mirror and in the photos) the less I like it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685028 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:58:38 +0000 Mo 685028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you!! Lukewarm on the blazer, but I'll admit striped blazers aren't my fave in general, so perhaps I'm too biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685023 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:56:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 685023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jamie - yes, there is a band of pleating under the bust approximately 4-5 inches in width. It does indeed create some width in the bust area but for me, that can sometimes work in my favour. It helps to balance out the width of my hips and also helps to give me a waist underneath my bust, if that makes any sense.</p> <p>Jonesy - I almost always scrunch my sleeves anyway so I don't mind the auto-scrunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685020 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:54:28 +0000 Parsley 685020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, yes, maybe I'd like it better with a jacket. The colors are great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685013 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:50:23 +0000 Jonesy 685013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the dress on you! I could see it working so well with a jacket layered over it for the colder months. In general, I like the jacket, but I'm not a huge fan of the ruched sleeves (I like to be able to wear them long or scrunch them, depending on my mood :), but if you are a fan of the auto-scrunch, then I think the jacket is cute and fits you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685010 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:48:59 +0000 Jamie 685010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you rock dresses!! I love the colors of this one, and it looks really good with those shoes. I hesitate only slightly about the pattern on the dress, but it's probably just me. It looks like there is ruching or tucks under the bust, and the direction of the pattern from that point to the shoulder creates a Y or a V shape. This creates an illusion of width in the bust area. That's the only thing I'm not fond of, but it's really minor, and like I said, it's just me. I like it best when you push the sleeves up a bit as in #3.</p> <p>I like the jacket, too, but I'd love to see it apart from the dress to get a better idea. I think it has a lot of good potential, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-685007 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:46:29 +0000 MsMary 685007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are both great! (But not necessarily together.) I think the random look of the pattern on the dress is fun and fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684994 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:34:36 +0000 cinnamon fern 684994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Parsley, but I think the pattern placement on the dress would bother me even with a jacket on top. Especially from the back, the lack of matching bothers me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684978 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:17:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 684978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jem - I have noticed a huge step up in Winner's lately. Better brands and more options in sizes. I am disappointed that they're not carrying as many petite sizes though. I didn't see the teal or black blazers - at least not yet. This striped blazer also came in a grey/black stripe - I wonder if that might be more versatile come fall/winter???</p> <p>Parsley - would you feel better about the dress with a jacket over top? I suspect I'll be wearing it a lot with either my black leather blazer or other topper, tights and boots once the really cold weather arrives. </p> <p>Interesting replies so far... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684973 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:12:22 +0000 Jem 684973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress, it's so pretty! I noticed that Winner's is starting to get in some nice looking fallish dresses. The jacket looks nice, too! I think I may have the same one at home, but if it's the same, yours looks like it's hanging nicer than mine. I was going to try to tack down the facing, because it keeps wanting to come out, although yours might just be a nicer one. </p> <p>Did your store have the teal jackets in? Ours had plain teal and ones with black lapel and pockets. Also, they had burgundy skirts! Ooh, I love fall clothes!</p> <p>Anyway, I say keep on both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684972 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:05:12 +0000 Krista 684972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both! You will be able to style both in a great way. I look forward to colder weather so that I can see you work your magic with that dress! Wowee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684967 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 18:52:11 +0000 kellygirl 684967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress. I think it looks awesome. The print is eye catching and fun. Great colors on you. I actually love the blazer. I could see it paired with your Doc's for a fun look! Both are keepers in my book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684965 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 18:45:21 +0000 Parsley 684965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I'm going to take the opposite viewpoint. I'm not at all sure about the dress- the pattern placement is bothering me. I don't think it's as fab as a lot of things you already have.</p> <p>The jacket, on the other hand, I really like! I'd like to see it styled with something else, since it's making me dizzy with this dress, but I think it's a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-calvin-klein-dress-and-striped-blazer#post-684962 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 18:37:00 +0000 April 684962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep the dress! Wow. </p> <p>The jacket I'm going to leave to others. Not a fan of black and white stripes, so I'm not the best person to be objective about the fit. </p>
