But I can completely get behind the creativity and good old-fashioned common sense to take this dress to a place where you'll get the most use of it! Jayne, you are BRILLIANT!</p> <p>Love the shoes, and as another chubby/powerful calved girl (Beth Ann, I hesitate to call my cankles curvy!), I'm heartened by your notion that ankle straps seem slimming. MUST try this at home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643912 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:19:33 +0000 jayne 643912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah Beth Ann! Powerful legs will be a good way to feel better about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643869 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 03:17:18 +0000 Beth Ann 643869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing creativity! First with the under-slip, now with the "blouse." I can't wait to see the results!</p> <p>BTW --- chubby legs? How about curvy legs? I'm dressing my legs in spandex bike shorts tomorrow for a long ride on the shores of Lake Michigan. I don't like the looks of them, but I love the way they remind me that legs are meant to be powerful, to take us somewhere really wonderful. Oh, and I wear ankle straps, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643549 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:22:58 +0000 Meredith1953 643549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful color and I'm sure it will look lovely as a blouse! I think it was very clever of you to find a way to wear it a few more times in the meantime and I love the lime sandals and scarf with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643534 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:54:52 +0000 Heather 643534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever, clever, Jayne. I adore your lime sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643530 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:49:55 +0000 nicoleb 643530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so smart!

It hink it will be a knockout blouse, though. Can't wait to see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643359 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:47:01 +0000 jayne 643359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes lime sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643318 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:25:00 +0000 MNsara 643318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so creative - first having heels shortened, now turning short dress into blouse! </p> <p>Are those citron sandals I spy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643309 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:18:07 +0000 jayne 643309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all...I am looking forward to see what fun I can have with this as a blouse also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643168 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:20:43 +0000 Kristin L 643168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea!

Very clever lengthening of the dress with the skirt. Still- if wearing as a blouse will be more useful then go for it!<br /> Thanks for posting- I am sure many readers will benefit from this, we get so many good ideas from others here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-time-for-this-dress-as-a-dress#post-643103 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 06:30:10 +0000 Deborah 643103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne you are so clever!

So after today it will become a lovely blouse. It has buttons down the front so it will be a perfect blouse. Then I will no longer need a navy blouse on my wish list. not a bad compromise. ;)&lt;p/&gt;Here worn with a navy cardigan, lime scarf and lime Frye sandals. &lt;p/&gt;The sandals have been shortened about an inch and are now pretty comfy for me. I have the opinion that the ankle strap actually slims my leg. Being shortening is less important to me, being a chubby leg pear, you see I have my hang up about my thick legs and ankles. :)&lt;p/&gt;Thanks for looking</p> <p>Added photo without slip </p>
