Fab to the infinite level. I like the petite skirt and you know I LOVE the dotty top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029852 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 02:06:34 +0000 cobaltblue 1029852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is drop dead gorgeous on you. I love the taupe dot sweater and am glad you're letting down the petite skirt hem a tiny bit. Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029844 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:56:38 +0000 Angie 1029844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>....to achieve the same effect. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029837 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:53:04 +0000 Suz 1029837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! It feels good to see my judgement confirmed! So funny. I was going to hem the one...now I'm letting down the other!! :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029834 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:50:15 +0000 Angie 1029834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That frock was waiting for you, Suz. It had to be yours. </p> <p>Yup. I vote let down the hem of the petite skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029831 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:48:23 +0000 Suz 1029831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie! I am now officially in love with the dress after playing around a bit more with it. I realized when I saw it -- <b>SUPER</b> high quality dress at 60% off --- <b>ONLY</b> available in this size&nbsp;-- the last time I saw this was with my Nicole Miller sheath, and look how well that turned out.&nbsp;&nbsp;And this one was winter weight...with sleeves!! How often does that happen?&nbsp;I figured it was a sign and I had to try it. Now I have a new Dress Meister! This is is a beautifully made garment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now a question: should I let down the hem of that skirt just a touch? Now that the rest of the fit is a bit better, I think I might be able to stand an inch down. Would love your thoughts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029829 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:41:43 +0000 Angie 1029829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is absolutely killer. Don't waste another thought in that pretty little head thinking about it, Suz. </p> <p>And I like the new neckline of the top in #4. Looks fab. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029803 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:25:10 +0000 Suz 1029803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. The quality is really superb. And I have done a little playing in the closet since then trying to style it, and thanks to your suggestions, I am 100% convinced it's a keeper and won't be an orphan. More soon!&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: Donnat -- I hear you on the skirt length. I love my VC midis, too, and do prefer a below the knee length in general.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can actually let this one down a bit if desired. The overall fit elsewhere is better. As for the length, after an extensive discussion, consensus was that in this particular skirt, an <b>AT</b> the knee length is more flattering on me vs. a below the knee length. It has to do with proportion if I want to wear booties. And since I pretty much have to wear booties and boots in my climate, I need to hem for that reality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029798 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:22:39 +0000 Jaime 1029798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is a keeper Suz! Skirt fits better, denim top is terrific, other top is fab, and I agree the dress is not at all too c&amp;c. A gorgeous blue long sleeved dress! The possibilities are mind boggling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029797 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 01:22:26 +0000 Sarah A 1029797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of it.... and did I copy you fall shopping list? I just picked up a chambray shirt and 3/4 sleeve blue dress! I think the seam detailing on the front adds a nice dose of modern structure here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029731 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:52:14 +0000 Gaylene 1029731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm echoing MaryK on the dress! And echoing all the others who like it just as it is--a sophisticated and elegant dress that looks stunning on you! Edgy is not the only way to look fabulous... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029718 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:15:56 +0000 Carla 1029718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is a keeper. I kind of like the austerity of it alone, but it is a good canvas for shoes/ boots and jackets. I agree with Caro, a big cuff or statement necklace could be cool, but only of said jewellery was special and 'you', first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029708 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 23:09:24 +0000 Isis 1029708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress!&nbsp; I predict it's going to be a workhorse.&nbsp; Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029682 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 22:52:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 1029682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leather jacket &amp; booties.<br />Caged sandals &amp; a big (on you) cuff?&nbsp;<br />Valentino rock star pumps?</p> <p>Please keep the dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029673 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 22:33:02 +0000 Nicole D 1029673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with all about the dress. Stunning on you and not staid at all. &nbsp;&nbsp;I really like the faux mixed media piece too. &nbsp;The only thing I do not love (and I hate to say this because I think you went through some hassle to replace it) is the sweater. &nbsp;Something about the colours with the dots, it's a bit on the cutesy side for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029626 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 21:42:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1029626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirt, replacement sweater and chambray shirt are all absolute winners Suz - so fab for your wardrobe.</p> <p>The fit of the dress is spectacular and I have to agree with MaryK - you are FAR TOO GORGEOUS in the dress to look old lady! I think this is a very useful dress and everyone needs to have something they can grab and put on when an unexpected event transpires. You could definitely spice it up a bit with a scarf if need be but honestly, I think the simplicity of it is positively smashing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029619 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 21:35:18 +0000 Elly 1029619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On you I think it looks subdued, but elegant and almost gamine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029574 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:50:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1029574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely, although it does skew a bit more traditional than you seem to be going these days. I like the idea of trying with a white shirt underneath, or booties or boots with an edgier jacket, leather etc. It would be a very appropriate item for winter 'serious' events and it's nice to have one of those in one's metaphorical back pocket, just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029569 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:44:45 +0000 donnat 1029569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress. I dont think it is too corporate or old-lady. I think it is classic and elegant. It fits beautifully. I think you will have to play with it a bit to see how you could casual it down.<br /> I like the skirt in the regular length. My eye is starting to want to see hem lines a little lower. (thank you VC midi tube).<br /> The tops are lovely, the chambray drapes nicely. And the wine color is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029567 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:40:41 +0000 Scarlet 1029567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job on all your finds. The berry is fab! I am not sure about the dress. It is so flattering but it is reading very conservative to me for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029563 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:37:11 +0000 Traci 1029563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say YES to this dress!</p> <p>Here are my ideas so far&nbsp;for styling&nbsp;it:<br />-bold chunky necklace<br />-crisp white shirt underneath the dress with the collar and cuffs showing<br />-knee high boots and leather jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029560 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:33:52 +0000 MsMary 1029560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see... how to phrase this delicately?&nbsp; Suz, with your bangin' bod, there is no way on earth that dress could ever look too conservative or corporate or old-lady!&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; That said, I'd add a scarf (maybe the Magic Scarf) or a long necklace or even a belt if I wanted to punch it up a little.</p> <p>Like you, I have found the Halogen skirts are a much, much better fit in the petite sizes.&nbsp; I have bought two in regular sizes because they didn't have the color in petite, and both of them are largely unworn, I'm afraid.</p> <p>Love the new top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029557 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:29:35 +0000 Eliza 1029557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the petite skirt and the color of number 4 is a 15 out of 10 on you. &nbsp; Love it! &nbsp;</p> <p>The dress is a classic. &nbsp;It seems that high quality, a great fit, a style with some longevity and a good price point is a call to see if there are ways to make it edgier or more exciting for non-funeral wear. Possible things to try include unexpected footwear, a less structured bag, scarves, a&nbsp;long necklace and less traditional toppers (cropped, asymmetrical, leather, etc.) &nbsp;The animal print shoes are&nbsp;punching it up a bit. &nbsp;I know you don't wear a lot of jewelry typically, so don't know if that will work for you. Maybe the right pair of winter boots would change it up also.&nbsp;Love the fit and color of it on you. &nbsp;Even through the screen, it reads as a special dress. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-david-meister-lblued-plus-more-shopping#post-1029537 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 20:09:49 +0000 Suz 1029537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This morning, I nipped across the border to make a few returns and pick up my exchanged items.&nbsp;</p> <p>First, the <b>Halogen skirt in petite.</b> I decided to try it instead of shortening the regular, and it is a much better fit over all.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Pic 1</b>: <b>Petite skirt</b></p> <p><b>Pic 2</b>: <b>Regular skirt</b></p> <p>Note: they are the same colour IRL. It's just that the light is different today.&nbsp;</p> <p>In <b>Pic 1</b>, I am also wearing the <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-western-chambray-shirt/3475652">Halogen western chambray shirt</a></b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-western-chambray-shirt/3475652">.</a> Still on the hunt for a replacement for that BR denim shirt. The colour of this one seems better than the last chambray shirt and the details are nice. The price was very good so I am keeping for now; it will be useful to me and drapes a bit better than the BR shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>In <b>Pic 3</b> I have on the replacement <b>Only Mine</b> sweater (had to replace the one that came with a hole in the sleeve.)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Pic 4</b> shows a <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/two-by-vince-camuto-split-neck-mixed-media-top/3502833">VC mixed media top</a></b>. Supposedly mixed media, but actually just a light knit. I wanted to try a different neckline from my usual and felt as if this V might be narrow enough to pass muster. Also, it is a high low, knit. It's a bit more fitted than I might have wished, but again, it will be useful in my work at home capsule. Colour makes me happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>My K/R question is about the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.davidmeister.com/daytime-dresses/sunburst-pleated-crepe-dress-/invt/ckuoxk8466">David Meister dress.</a> I think I got the last one of these at a huge reduction. Once again, I apologize for the light - no matter what I do I can't seem to make it bright enough so I have brightened one photo in the hopes you'll be able to make out some detail.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fit is pretty much perfect, I think. Quality is wonderful. But....is it too conservative and corporate and&nbsp;old-lady?&nbsp;</p> <p>Obviously, this would be a great dress for a funeral or any solemn sort of winter occasion. And I do not have a dress that fits that purpose -- although in a pinch I do&nbsp;have separates that could be put together in that way.&nbsp;</p> <p>But can this dress be worn any other way? Could I style it to look more contemporary? How?&nbsp;</p> <p>The price was very reasonable for the quality of the item. But if it's going to be an orphan, I could use that money another way, you know?&nbsp;</p> <p>Would love your thoughts.&nbsp; </p>
