The place we just moved from had wall-to-wall carpet everywhere except the kitchen and baths.<br /> It’s been a while since I wore my winter silks longjohns, but I don’t remember them bunching. Still, an itchy neck would be enough to doom the whole dress.<br /> <a href="https://wintersilks.blair.com/p/women/long-underwear-base-layers/womens-long-underwear-tops/ladies-long-sleeve-mock-neck-top-in-lightweight-washable-silk/pc/207/c/2662/sc/469/86866.uts?q1=207~Women&#038;sc=N&#038;q=*&#038;q2=2662~Long+Underwear+%26+Base+Layers&#038;q3=469~Women%27s+Long+Underwear+Tops&#038;count=500&#038;x1=c.t1&#038;x2=c.t2&#038;x3=c.t3&#038;store=3&#038;intl=n" rel="nofollow">https://wintersilks.blair.com/.....038;intl=n</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958448 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 00:22:53 +0000 Helena 1958448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!

Negative for all the common food/pet allergies. Docs suspect it's dust/dryness, maybe stress related. It is seasonal -- bad for a few months in the winter, usually gone by Memorial Day (when I start sleeping with the windows open). Was never a problem until we moved into a newer house, tight construction with no draftiness. May be resolved with an upgraded vetilation system... For now I'm using stronger filters in the furnace, changed monthly, plus an air purifier in the bedroom. Ripping out all the carpet in the house made a HUGE difference but hasn't fully solved the issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958442 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 00:15:28 +0000 K.M. 1958442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love this look, but like you I get very itchy from wool (no eczema--just very sensitive skin). In addition, I don't find sweater dresses thermally comfortable! I like to layer up and down like an onion to regulate according to outside/inside etc. Sweater dresses always make me sweat. Or else I can't layer anything beyond a coat and I feel cold outside. Wish I could pull it off... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958433 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 23:41:12 +0000 bj1111 1958433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you had allergies tested? My sister and niece discovered massive allergies to shrimp and gluten respectively. Years long recurrent eczema has resolved with diet.</p> <p>Anyhoo, I love the look esp with the dark floral boots from @Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958413 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 21:09:25 +0000 LaPed 1958413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FashIntern, it depends on the sleeve fit -- sometimes a long sleeve Heattech/silk/etc gets a bit too bunchy underneath a rib-knit like this. And there's still the collar issue. If the turtleneck part is scratchy, it's a no-go. I will have to go pet it in person to see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958408 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 20:42:33 +0000 jussie 1958408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great dress for your style! I agree that Janet has made excellent footwear suggestions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958407 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 20:41:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1958407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would look great on you, but wool or poly, I'd pay extra attention to how my skin felt trying it on. Then again, if you're wearing it in a New England winter, can you have on a silky long-sleeved undershirt and capri long johns (or a slip!) underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958404 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 19:33:15 +0000 ladypainter 1958404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looking dress. I agree with Janet: patterned boots or booties would look really good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958382 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 17:36:25 +0000 LaPed 1958382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of leopard print or moody floral shoes. I've got a bunch of black pants now, too, which would get a boost from either of those. If DH sees me in leopard print booties, he will wonder what happened to the tomboy he married. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958379 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 17:21:56 +0000 Angie 1958379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY :)</p> <p><b>La Ped</b>, this dress was a WORKHORSE for me last year. I LOVE IT. I hope it comes in more colours this year. &nbsp;Have the olive! Not so much into the black and grey, but will enjoy it on others. I want it in orange, tomato, navy or toffee.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear it with these shoes:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958371 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 17:09:12 +0000 Janet 1958371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look too, but sweater dresses never work on me, so I will enjoy from afar. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd like to see it with printed/patterned booties. A moody floral, animal print, or even one of the glen plaids we're seeing around now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loving-this-look-a-year-behind-angie#post-1958370 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 16:54:59 +0000 LaPed 1958370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed out on Angie's Banana Republic turtleneck midi dress last year (first Find), as I'm hesitant to add any wool or wool blends right now because eczema. I have a lot of wool, but I have to be a bit strategic about when and how I wear it, so I really can't buy anymore if it's a next-to-skin layer (outerwear is no problem), especially something with fitted sleeves where I can't just add a layer underneath. </p> <p>I really, really love this look -- the fitted sweater dress paired with a wide belt. And the olive/grey combo is perfect. Many years ago I had a gorgeous ribbed charcoal dress much like this one that I paired with a bright red obi belt -- an all-time favourite outfit, perfect for holiday parties and winter festivities. So rare to find a formula that feels a bit sexy but also cozy-warm enough for New England in January. :)</p> <p>This year, BR has a turtleneck midi that contains no wool (second Find), and I'm wondering if anyone has seen it in person and can comment on quality. I usually don't love poly blends, but I'd make an exception for a great dress, and if it works out I would absolutely buy the belt to go with it. Nearest BR store is about two hours away; I'll cross my fingers they have it in stock so I can try it on the next time I head that direction, or maybe I'll get impatient and order online. ;)</p> <p>Also, while I'm daydreaming, any shoe inspo to go with this outfit? I'm thinking a dark metallic, like pewter, in a higher-shaft ankle boot. Or chocolate brown?&nbsp; </p>
