I would've ordered it myself to give it a whirl, but the time I thought about it, it was sold out in my size. (who knows if that size would've fit... but I digress!)</p> <p>If I owned it, I would have no problem wearing this dress once a week. Ideas:</p> <p>- pewter wedges and a white bag. Simple for right now.<br /> - Long scarf tied below the drape neck, with coordinating bag<br /> - with black leggings, ballet flats, cheeky jean jacket (white or denim)<br /> - with cardigan - that would keep your arms warm - black, white, red, purple, yellow, teal... anything really.. short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, long sleeve.<br /> - with tights and heels and a cardi or jean jacket or leather jacket<br /> - with tights and boots</p> <p>I think you could probably also wear this with a long-sleeve blouse underneath, one without a collar. Something with a straight-across neckline? </p> <p>I would also try it with a merino wool long-sleeve turtleneck underneath. I think it has potential!</p> <p>And YES, I would wear sleeveless with boots, though I would very likely add a cardi too. I think this neckline will work just fine with a v-neck cardi. </p> <p>As for the memorable question, I know exactly what you mean about that. But, I don't think this is *that* memorable. No worries about that part. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-question-about-classiques-sheath-dress#post-81536 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:10:28 +0000 Dani 81536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bump for input...anyone want to chime in on how often you wear a memorable item of clothing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-question-about-classiques-sheath-dress#post-81420 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:41:41 +0000 Dani 81420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas, Kristen and Angie. I really love this dress as is (it is gorgeous), but it's more about justifying the cost for a dress that can only be worn during warmer weather. Granted, we have about 4 1/2 to 5 months of warmer weather but I'm just not sure about something that's not that versatile (to me). Would a sleeveless dress look out of place with boots?</p> <p>Angie, how often do you wear your wardrobe pieces that are distinctive and memorable? I feel that I could only wear this dress once a month or so since it is so unique and memorable. I think that's the problem I'm trying to wrap my head around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-question-about-classiques-sheath-dress#post-81409 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:52:05 +0000 Angie 81409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is so beautiful as is. This is how I see it:</p> <p>o Dress it down with a denim jacket or biker jacket. Might even work with a waistcoat left open.<br /> o Add hose and pumps<br /> o Throw in boots</p> <p>Would that make your “have to wear this item three different ways” rule, Dani? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-question-about-classiques-sheath-dress#post-81365 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:23:02 +0000 Kristen 81365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Dani,</p> <p>I haven't really worked on styling the dress yet, but I have all the suggestion still in mind! I'm trying to stick to a shopping ban for a bit and I'm enjoying my closet as it is, but for the sheath I will probably look for:<br /> -a long-sleeves silky collarless blouse I can wear under it<br /> -some woven button-downs (which I need to add anyway)<br /> -colorful cardigans and jackets</p> <p>I also want to wear it as it is for as long as I can. But our weather has been so strange this summer, I'm getting nervous about planning too far ahead for fall!</p> <p>How cool that you got it too; so did Kari! I think it's pretty well-suited to our body type and height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-question-about-classiques-sheath-dress#post-81288 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:15:00 +0000 Dani 81288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you ever figure out how to style it for cooler weather? I think the dress is AMAZING as is, but I'm having a heck of a time putting anything with it that looks appropriate or doesn't detract from the originality of the dress. I'd love to hear what you discovered!!</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
