I also like #1 for our hot Georgia summers. I like the fifth dress on you better than the pink paisley in pic 3.

Thank heavens they didn't put my name on something I wouldn't want to wear! Good question about the pink jacket. I'll have to look at it tomorrow. Thanks, KG. The first two feel a bit mild compared to the other 3, but there are certainly times I need to be a bit more conservative. Glad they work. Thanks, Carambola and Golden! Carolbee, I think you nailed it. I have conservative dresses and I have loud dresses. I go through phases, and of course, dress for the occasion, but the loud ones feel fresher to me right now. The heat worries me too, Marmee. I think any of these will be cooler than the black and white one though. Even though they have sleeves, they are very lightweight. The black and white one is thick and heavy. Glad you like the black shoes too. I love them. Unfortunately, they are a holdover from my days of heels. They're 2" and the doc said no dice, except for special events. I think a college graduation qualifies:-) Thanks for the insight, Gigi. I'm still not completely sure what stays yet. I have tried every dress silhouette over the years, and the only two that feel like me are the sheath and the shift. I have several sheath dresses in solid dark colors and a couple shifts in bold patterns. I wore one of the shifts on Sunday, and found myself telling my husband I wish I had a dozen of them. I'll have to think it through. No one picked #4. That's DH's favorite...I assume it's the cleavage. I'm pretty sure I'll keep that one for date nights:-) Thanks so much for all the feedback! Gigi on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1219094 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 01:44:42 +0000 Gigi 1219094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My faves are 1, 3, and the new one.  I think they all work, but if it were me, I would keep no more than two or three, because they are very similar in style. That way you will have room left in your wardrobe to add different styles of dresses when you see something you like. I think Laura may be right about the band at the bottom being a bit shortening. I am short, so I watch for these things too. :^) I don't think it's severe, but when I compare those dresses to the new one (which doesn't have a band), I do think the new one is more flattering and doesn't make the eye "hiccup" at the knee. The shoes are super cute! If you really like them but they don't stop squeaking, maybe you could call a cobbler to see if he has any advice on what the problem is.

ETA:  Cute shoes!  The black ones are my favorite for the new dress, but I like the others, too. carolbee on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1219064 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 01:24:34 +0000 carolbee 1219064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #1. Prefer all of these to the one in your original post. These seem more "modern"?? Although the other one looked,good, in comparison it now seems a bit ?school marmish?? carambola on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1219035 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 01:02:57 +0000 carambola 1219035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorites are 2,3, and the new one. kellygirl on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1219017 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 00:44:59 +0000 kellygirl 1219017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #1, 2 and the dress you just posted. I like that pink print better than the one in the original post (3.) Great dresses.  Suz on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1219012 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 00:42:24 +0000 Suz 1219012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You got "Carter" shoes? That's perfect.  Love dress #2 on you. It's really simple yet interesting. And the new one looks really fun, too. Would it work with the pink jacket or are the tones off?  dustt on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218970 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 00:06:01 +0000 dustt 1218970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ oh yes!! - love that one too - carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218965 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 00:00:20 +0000 carter 1218965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Some love for dress #2...thanks Angie, Viva and Lyn*! Lyn*, the shoes are super cute IRL, and with a bit of color on my legs, they'll be my shade of nude. So hope they work! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218959 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:56:49 +0000 carter 1218959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The last one just came.

Look at their wee bow, and how long it makes your leg line look!!! *swoon* As for the dresses, #2 is my favourite viva on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218939 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:45:02 +0000 viva 1218939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I especially love 2. The scale of the print is great on you because you're so small, and it's so so lovely with the shoes. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218932 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:39:16 +0000 carter 1218932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, dustt! I'm a sucker for pink. I do feel like I'm a bit pale at the moment for the black and white dress, which is why I wanted to add the pink blazer. These are all very light dresses too, so I think I might be more comfortable for an outdoor ceremony. Thanks, K. #1 feels like something I could show homes in all day in July weather. I'll report back on the shoe noises. Hmmm, Laura. That worries me a bit. I'm not tall to begin with. Without heels to help, I sure don't want anything shortening! Thank you, DonnaF. I do tend to wear my tops a bit larger in the shoulder so I can move throughout my day without feeling constricted or raising the length of the dress to an inappropriate level. Is a smidge ok, or do they look too bug on me? Thanks, columbine. I will post a pic of the last one when it comes...supposedly tonight. It has been crazy difficult to find dresses that hit me right at the knee. There were some really cute ones online, but the lengths were a total no-go for me. Angie on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218918 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:31:34 +0000 Angie 1218918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #2 and #3.  columbine(erin) on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218866 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:52:00 +0000 columbine(erin) 1218866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dresses in 1 and 3 were my favorites, but they could all work. Would like to see the one that hasn't arrived yet too. The dresses seems to hit you at a flattering length to my eye anyway.  DonnaF on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218861 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:44:50 +0000 DonnaF 1218861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You wear prints and dresses so well!  I can't really tell on my computer, but I just wanted to check with you to see if shoulders on the dresses are just a smidge too big. Laura (rhubarbgirl) on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218858 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:42:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1218858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The shoes are darling and I like the possibility of the dress on order. I am not in love with the banded detail on the others, though. It seems to visually shorten you in an unflattering manner. Just my first gut reaction. Kristin L on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218836 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:15:19 +0000 Kristin L 1218836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #1 and #3 the best. I think I need to wait until you post of a pic of you in Ali Roo dress, but it looks cute. I think we're all looking a bit pale after how long this winter as gone. I missed the blazer and dress the first go around, but I think they look great together.  I hope the shoes stop making so much noise. They look pretty cute.  dustt on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218806 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:47:40 +0000 dustt 1218806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ love the pink paisley - I think it would be wonderful for graduation - I loved the black & white one as well - but if you're wanting some color - that one catches my fancy!!! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-work-dresses#post-1218779 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:26:27 +0000 carter 1218779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ .
