Your creative juices were in high gear! My three favorites are 7996, 7997 and 7580. Great job with all the outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-110474 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:55:24 +0000 medusa 110474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, this is amazing. You absolutely CRUSHED the challenge.</p> <p>Please please please leave these photos online so that when I finally get a little black dress I can copy all of your looks. You are an inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109870 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:18:59 +0000 Angie 109870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, queenie! I am holding you to a Summer full of frocks :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109822 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:28:38 +0000 Queen Mum 109822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, it's funny that you're wishing your dress didn't have sleeves... I have been thinking I need a long sleeve LBD (but in another color). I think any dress is going to have it's styling limitations. Mine, being a higher neckline really limits what I can layer underneath. I loved the sassy look of Renata's short sleeve LBD, and I am wanting the warmth factor of a longsleeve dress like yours, as well as the fact that my very favorite necklines are v-neck.<br /> So, it's about working with what you have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109774 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:35:02 +0000 Carole 109774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, just saw your photos and you look great in every example: My fav is 7996, I like the long cardigan and color with your LBD! But also loved 8002,8010,7999,7580. I never thought of wearing a sweater over my LBD, love that! You've given me more ideas. I have to say after this exercise I went to sleep thinking of more ways to work it! I love stuff like this! I just wish my dress didn't have sleeves, it would be a little easier to work like you have done here...thanks for all the effort! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109763 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:57:30 +0000 Queen Mum 109763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks so much ladies for the kind words. I was having so much fun with this it was hard to stop. even after posting I was thinking of other things to try. </p> <p>Yublocka- go find one and start playing. the only reason I had it was because I had to find something for my MIL's funeral last May. It had short sleeves (that hit right above my bust) and I never felt quite right about them, so a while back I took the sleeves off and it was instant love for me ;-)</p> <p>Angie- I'm honored by your words. I do love to wear dresses, I have such a hard time finding dresses that give the right vibe for my casual lifestyle. But I am on a mission to find more dresses, in fact, I had already decided that this summer is going to be the summer of the dress for me </p> <p>I'm glad you all like 7996- I put that together a couple months ago one Sunday morning, but didn't quite feel right for church- I ended up putting my black skinnies under it and felt much more covered. My husband and I have a dinner to go to next week though, and I think I'll wear that. (unless I decide to go more festive- what do you guys think?)</p> <p>anyhow, thanks to Hanna for the challenge- I'd been meaning to have a LBD dress rehearsal for a while, so this was my excuse to play! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109731 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:40:34 +0000 jessica 109731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>inspiring! thanks for posting all the pics instead of just some. i'd have to agree with the ones above who said 7996. very flattering. i love the first one, too, 7999. it reads arty to me, which i like a lot. you've definitely created a lot of different moods with one dress. good thing you have pics to remember them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109726 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:21:34 +0000 Anonymous 109726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What variety! It all looks good, but my favorites are #7996 followed by #7580.</p> <p>Thank you for giving us so many ideas to play with. The long tunic in #7580 is something I want to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109720 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:56:52 +0000 Angie 109720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you just scored KILLER for your entire challenge. Never seen you look so good, queenie! Well done! I demand to see you in more dresses from now on :0)</p> <p>#7996 is my favourite, followed closely by #8020. Absolutely fabulous! </p> <p>Sooooooooo, I have to add: THE POWER OF THE DRESS. There is no substitute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109714 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:34:33 +0000 yublocka 109714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Queenie you have done an amazing job in putting together so many looks with this dress! I think I am now officially convinced I need to find myself a black sheath dress!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109709 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:19:19 +0000 Misia 109709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #7996<br /> #7813<br /> #7580<br /> Who knew we can do so many different looks with just one dress, great job queenie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109708 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:18:07 +0000 Tricia 109708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the one with the denim jacket and the pink scarf, and the one with the gray (lace?) shirt and the croc belt. It's so cool to see how many things can be done with one dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109700 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:36:32 +0000 Queen Mum 109700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks ladies- you're both so sweet. it really was fun just trying anything I thought might work.<br /> those are 2 different pairs of jeans actually. the second outfit is with bootcut, but the later outfit with the belt is with straight leg jeans- and they are longer, so I have higher heeled shoes on. that is probably why you liked one and not the other </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109697 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:20:56 +0000 kellygirl 109697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Queenie! You did a great job working that LBD. My faves are #1, #8, #12 and #13. It looks terrific dressed up and down. The jean jacket looks are perfect MOTG! I would never have thought of layering with the crochet tunic top--it looks great that way too. It's hard to believe it's the same dress--it looks good both belted and unbelted. </p> <p>I'm curious to what others think about the second look with the bootcuts--the dress seems a bit too long in that combination yet I love it layered and belted in the last few pictures. Perhaps it's just the camera angle. You out did yourself. What a terrific LBD challenge! WTG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109690 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:56:17 +0000 rute 109690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all outfits, but the first one is my favorite! You have fabulous legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lbd-challenge-queenie#post-109684 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:36:14 +0000 Queen Mum 109684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that was fun! I should have been cleaning my house, but instead I played dress up with my LBD. I just made a link to my photostream page which has all of the looks I put together. You can click on any picture to see it bigger. For some reason I don't know how to rearrange the order of the pics on the page, so you'll see some outfits where I took a close up of part of it not next to it's mate- oh well, I figure you are all intelligent women and can make sense of it all.</p> <p>So, give me the rundown on what is fab and what's a flop. I didn't edit any pics out- this was all of my attempts, so you're not going to hurt my feelings. I did wear 2 of the outfits this past weekend though, so if they're flops it's a tad to late ;-0</p> <p>And, I didn't organize them into formal, hang out, date night, etc... and I have never in my life worked in an office, so none of my looks were an attempt at office wear.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/?donelayout=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....nelayout=1</a></p> <p>Thanks so much for your feedback ladies. I"m excited to bring this dress out to play alot! </p>
