You look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785710 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:31:28 +0000 Day Vies 785710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind words. I have been looking in vain for the picture I saw on line that inspired this outfit. I have not been successful. So I apologize -- but I think you get the general idea. Plain neutral dress sans the sleeves added to a wild and crazy long sleeved print that makes you question your taste and sanity.</p> <p>Alaska Girl -- lumpy and uncomfortable are definitely words I would have used if I'd thought of them when I wrote my commentary. I had to laugh because it's SO true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785690 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:03:18 +0000 unfrumped 785690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea--that is a truly successful combination. The black dress is the perfect foil for the color and pattern, and the thin knit of the top keeps it streamlined and ladylike.</p> <p>I gotta get to work on some livelier outfits.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785595 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 21:13:29 +0000 catgirl 785595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to log back in to tell you I ADORE this look on you. My fave outfit you've posted. I have never liked the sheath dress over shirt look (too mom-in-a-jumper), but this - THIS - is beyond fab. The colors in that top! And the sleek look of it all!</p> <p>I laughed out loud at your description of layering experience as "sweaty, tired and dissatisfied" To that I would add "lumpy and uncomfortable" in my case, but you have made me reconsider! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785588 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 21:08:35 +0000 Rosebuddy 785588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first comment and I must say this makes me want to go out and buy a simple black dress. You look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785569 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:53:18 +0000 Lisa 785569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely layered look. I run on team cold and would be lost without my layers especially in colder months. Then I sport layers you see (most often blazers with a knit and tank underneath) and layers you don't see (thermals under trousers or jeans are a must everyday for me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785427 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:08:54 +0000 Sona 785427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what an amazing layering wiw look. That shirt with the black sheath: I'd have never thought of it but this very inspirational!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785424 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:05:33 +0000 JR 785424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score! Great way to tone down a very vibrant print for work. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785392 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:39:48 +0000 Diana 785392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this with the bright sleeves and tailored dress! I am all for adding pops of happy color in winter outfits. Great job with the layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785374 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:23:33 +0000 Raisin 785374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great way to layer. I love how you've winterized this dress. Your outfits are always so inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785304 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:28:15 +0000 Anonymous 785304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those bright floral sleeves are really showcased by the simple LBD. The turquoise necklace ties everything together. I really like this; good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785276 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:58:40 +0000 Dana 785276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Radiant and beautiful! You have totally inspired me to get my black sheath out that I've only worn um, 1 or2 times. I know I don't have a layering t as fab as yours, but even if I have to buy something it's less expensive than a whole outfit. Thank you! </p> <p>One thought on how you could make this outfit even better. Do you have a longer necklace you could add? I think it could break up the dress a little. Does that make sense? </p> <p>Oh, I should mention, too that the brown boots are brilliant! It complements the top and keeps the outfit from looking all dressy with a t-shirt underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785273 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:55:15 +0000 Shu 785273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785259 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:41:27 +0000 amyreh 785259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, makes me want to go pull out my black sheath dress! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785230 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:05:57 +0000 Angie 785230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are glowingly gorgeous in this layered outfit, whether you like to layer or not! Those brights are perfect with the black, and the brown boots add just the right soft, retro touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785229 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:04:07 +0000 TraceyLiz65 785229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fantastic way to layer for full busted women! You nailed this perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785219 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:45:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 785219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH.MY.GOODNESS!!! Day Vies - this is beyond gorgeous on you! Love the bright sleeves peeking out under the dress and the turquoise necklace is just perfect. I'm positively swooning....gotta go lay down for a bit now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785217 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:43:51 +0000 Emily 785217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very sleek, season-appropriate, and colourful. It almost looks like you are wearing a black dress with coloured sleeves. Gorgeous, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785210 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:40:01 +0000 kellygirl 785210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look like a model. SO pretty and this outfit is so sleek and gorgeous. You look amazing. Great layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785209 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:39:15 +0000 RunnerChick 785209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DV - this looks great! You have such a wonderful style and presence. I really like the bright sleeves against the streamlined, simple dress. I have not tried layering dresses for the winter, but you are inspiring me to try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785206 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:36:35 +0000 Sara L. 785206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of winterizing my summer dresses too but have problems with the execution. You outfit looks great! I like the print on the arms with the plain black dress. Great boots and necklace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785195 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:31:06 +0000 Suz 785195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's gorgeous!! I love how the burgundy in the sleeves ties in with the boots (terrific boots, by the way) and the simplicity of the dress is a foil for all that. The necklace adds an extra pop. </p> <p>This is one of my favourite ways to layer, too. I have simple black sheath dress that I do this with, or at least a slightly different version...I have been wearing mine with a plain T, and then a scarf for the "pop." That's also because I don't have a lot of necklaces (scarves serve as my necklaces in winter). But I like this idea a LOT and now will be looking out for some brighter, patterned Ts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layering-wiw-112912#post-785190 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:26:30 +0000 Day Vies 785190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a big fan of layering. I love it on other people – on myself however that is a different story. I have frequently emerged from the experienced tired, sweaty and dissatisfied. </p> <p>I was inspired about a month ago with the idea of “winterizing” summer dresses by adding tights and long sleeves and possibly a jacket or cardigan. I really fell for the idea of taking a wildly printed long-sleeve tee and wearing a plain (all-season) sleeveless dress over it – leaving only the sleeves for pop and personality. I am all about pop and personalty especially if I can take it to work. So while I had time this past weekend, I put some outfits together. </p> <p>Today’s creation consists of my favorite patterned t-shirt: a Simply Vera floral tee. The colors are wild. Bottle green, aqua, and sunset orange, all meet and mingle on a burgundy background.<br /> The sheath dress is a black Calvin Klein number. </p> <p>I played around with the accessories and settled on a turquoise necklace, a black leather sash for a belt and mid-calf burgundy boots. </p> <p>It’s not a super complicated layered outfit but I love the formula. Normally I would wear some plain-jane cardigan over this dress. Adding bulk is my biggest fear when it comes to layering. I’m glad I tried this out because it’s a fun outfit, yet toned down enough to wear to work. </p> <p>What do you think? What successes have you had with layering? </p>
