I feel as you must have felt when you saw Viva:&nbsp; I want that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938356 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 09:55:40 +0000 Mainelady 1938356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit! I wouldn’t call that a sack dress though. To me it is a shirt dress and I think perfect for a casual, yet chic summer look. Your accessories are perfect and polished.<br /> I still have a bit of a waist, but it seems to get thicker every year. Many of my dresses are sheaths. I have a couple that are a bit fitted on top, but then have gentle pleats from the waist down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938148 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 23:42:10 +0000 Gail 1938148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all YLF !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938130 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 22:36:10 +0000 The Cat 1938130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous striped dress. (Would prefer it a bit longer, though.) Lovely, perfect manicure and beautiful pearl ring. Great summer looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938124 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 22:14:09 +0000 Janet 1938124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s funny, I love the easy, casual look of these kinds of dresses, and I love how they look on others, but somehow I can’t get my eye to like how they look on me. Please wear so I can enjoy vicariously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938107 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 20:31:55 +0000 Amy Isabella 1938107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful. That dress is perfect for hot days - cool, crisp and fresh. More pearl love from me too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938103 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 20:23:34 +0000 Cardiff girl 1938103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the mani and pearl! No sack dresses are not dated ,all the rage here in the recent heat wave especially blue striped ones,so you are right onthe money in the U K at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938095 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 20:02:40 +0000 Jenn 1938095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sack dresses don't work well for me, but I wear them anyway in super hot weather. I think there will always be a place for these, regardless of whether you like "surrendering the waist" or not. Those pretty, waist-defining dresses are great, but not what I want to be wearing when it's 95º </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938091 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 19:56:57 +0000 Suz 1938091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! Fresh, crisp, and fab. I love the pointed toe sneakers, and I'm also a huge proponent of shift and sack dresses. Especially in the heat. Nothing better for this kind of weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1938081 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 19:20:02 +0000 kkards 1938081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing those exact sneakers in blue today.

One more thing? &nbsp;lol. Thanks for the dress love though - makes me feel better about not being out in left field for not buying up all of the Boden and other dress stock this summer as others have here. &nbsp; Cute and pretty is not me. &nbsp; &nbsp;I wore this outfit to my other job yesterday and the shoes passed the 5 hours on my feet test. &nbsp;They are definitely not comfortable enough to *walk* for 5 hours, but for general standing and moving around, they were fine. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717/page/2#post-1937897 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 12:38:05 +0000 Bijou 1937897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous on you. This is a dress that I could not wear - as it would emphasis my large hips, but on you it is fantastic. I think we all just have to work with what suits us. I love all your accessories and how beautiful is your white manicure?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937891 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 12:32:51 +0000 RobinF 1937891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll join you in the no-waist club. I have always had that problem so am kind of used to hiding it. The retro fit-and-flare dresses are really cute but not for me. Love this dress on you and with those shoes it's perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937877 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 11:49:23 +0000 Linda 1937877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! You look so cool and elegant! The combination of the dress and shoes is perfect, and your<br /> jewelry adds just the right touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937870 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 11:30:36 +0000 jill58 1937870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I love this kind of dress and it doesn't look like you're trying to hide anything. Just a great summer look--cool and polished--perfect accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937866 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 11:20:27 +0000 unfrumped 1937866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! Meaning looks current. I think the bold stripes work well for this dres.<br /> The simple accessories are perfect. Great shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937856 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 10:17:18 +0000 Kathie 1937856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect accessories and make-up and fab styling, as always. I can see why you splurged on the bag- the details are great. I hope sack dresses aren’t going out of style, because I’m hoping to find something more modern and angular for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937854 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 09:59:29 +0000 Jaime 1937854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been alternating two sack dress all summer so far and they make this look body con in comparison . It has been so long since I had a waist that it never occurs to be that I might emphasize it. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937793 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 01:49:10 +0000 Aquamarine 1937793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! Everything you wear looks super. It’s all the pieces (shoes, hair, jewelry) that elevate your outfits, Lisa. I can’t wear dresses that showcase my waist anymore, either, because it went missing a few years ago. It definitely makes it more challenging to create interesting, flattering outfits, but if you enjoy fashion, it’s still fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937789 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 01:36:40 +0000 Carla 1937789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crisp and fresh. The lovely accessories and light/natural touch with make-up looks rich without 'trying-to-hard'. I love this look on you, Lisa P. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937753 Tue, 17 Jul 2018 00:01:55 +0000 JAileen 1937753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You really look great. The dress is perfect and the shoes, well, I want them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937749 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:44:15 +0000 anne 1937749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kate and Column re waist definition in hot weather.<br /> And you look great Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937745 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:37:35 +0000 Column 1937745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Lisa! And while I love to define my waist, more and more I am adding shifts (especially with narrow skirt finishes) precisely because the comfortable hourglass days get fewer and fewer. Especially in summer, when it is too hot for Spanx or anything clingy, the straight dress (even straight maxi dress) in cool natural fibers does the trick. I wouldn`t mind finding more for myself. A JJill maxi dress in linen mix (no longer available) has been in heavy rotation for those reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937744 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:32:20 +0000 Kate 1937744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a sack dress and wear them myself. You look fab in your striped sack dress! Even if I had a waist to speak of, the last thing I’d want to wear in our heat &amp; humidity is anything that ties at the waist!</p> <p>Oh those gorgeous shoes! I still covet them. I jumped on them when Everlane first came out with them, but sadly, they were too wide for my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937741 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 23:22:43 +0000 jussie 1937741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! I have an oversized shirt in the same stripe and I love it. I think it could also go well with a hot pink lip, just for something festive. You could also try it over slim white jeans in summer or a black slim jean in autumn.<br /> I hope sack dresses aren’t dated because I love them. I’m pretty sure they’re not dated..... just taking a slight back seat at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-summers-dresses-work-for-me-wiw-717#post-1937731 Mon, 16 Jul 2018 22:44:25 +0000 Anonymous 1937731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely fabulous!!! &nbsp;Those shoes. &nbsp;That jewelry!! &nbsp; </p>
