It's the colors - they are KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-423062 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:58:34 +0000 cobaltblue 423062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jonesy. Try the boots and add a long, mod necklace. </p> <p>Why am I this dress's champion all the sudden? I'm dying for Una to keep hers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-423061 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:58:10 +0000 catgirl 423061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, I'm going to try restyling the blue dress too - hair up makes a huge difference... try it and see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-423056 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:50:31 +0000 Sheila 423056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jonesy on the dresses; I say KEEP to both. But the cardigan is too lengthy on you for your proportions, I say return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422808 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 11:24:31 +0000 Jonesy 422808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blue dress needs a fair fight! Try it with your hair back in a ponytail (goes with the Mod vibe, IMHO), paired with tall boots rather than the cropped leggings and ballet flats (I think the accessorizing is contributing to the little girl feel). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422797 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:37:09 +0000 christina 422797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the great advise! Sorry about the cardi photos (or lack of). My photographer has to go to bed early:) I'll keep the black dress and return the blue. I'm still thinking about the cardigan. It has a lot going on - pattern, hood, drawstrings, bold zipper. It will be a great way to bring some basics to life. But . . .<br /> Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422794 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:19:57 +0000 rute 422794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1 and 3 and no to the cardigan.<br /> I like to see dress on on you!!!!!<br /> 3 is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422780 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:10:05 +0000 CocoLion 422780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just echoing what all the rest said -- #3 is fab and flattering while #1 is too little girl-ish. I have never gone for this shape (I'm an hourglass too), even when I was a lot younger. Although I remember sewing a dress with this shape when I was 11! It looked cute on me then, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422767 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 08:38:21 +0000 Deborah 422767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #3 on you. Very stylish. I would love that myself The first dress is pretty but I don't think it does anything for you. Would like to see the Cardigan styled and from the from view. Please keep # 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422750 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:35:00 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 422750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second dress is much better for you. I think it's much more flattering.</p> <p>I'm not as in love with the 1st one on you though I like it on Una. Her style is a little edgier maybe than yours appears (here, anyway, don't know yours well enough yet) and that can make a difference. Like Marley, I think it looks a bit too sweet/young as it is. The other dress kicks it's butt so I say return!</p> <p>Can't decide on the cardi. More photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422711 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:46:52 +0000 CK 422711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, we are dress twins! I have that second dress, too. I think that one's a keeper, and I like the cardigan, too. I agree with everyone else that the cut of the first is not as flattering on adorable you as it could be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422707 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 04:42:46 +0000 catgirl 422707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just posted photos of me in the first dress -let's see how that pans out... You MUST keep the second dress (I know I said that already, but just emphasizing!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422680 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:56:48 +0000 Marley 422680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the 1st dress is just too "little girl" looking - and the neckline and sleeveline aren't that fashionable. I LOVE the 3rd dress - but its pretty short - I would wear it either with skinny jeans or jeggings rather than leggings. I can't really tell about the cardigan - need to see it styled and a frontal view! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422667 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:25:00 +0000 Kari 422667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your assessment - the dress in #3 does *so* many things to highlight your beautiful figure, whereas I feel like the dress in #1 is masking it instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422666 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:22:37 +0000 Vani 422666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress in picture 3! The first one, not so much, as Kelly said. I wish I could see more of the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422663 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:21:52 +0000 rae 422663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is the best - the shape is more sophisticated and sleek. Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422638 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:33:37 +0000 est10865 422638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going with nancylee's opinion also. The first dress looks too immature. And I don't know...the 3rd pic looks better but I can't pinpoint what isn't right. I think, in general, the style is too junior. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422613 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:10:40 +0000 nancylee 422613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress isn't doing much for you (it's the high neckline, I think). The cardigan definitely has potential (maybe show us a few more pics of it?) and the dress in photo #3 is really cute. I don't think the "pouch" looks bad at all! Very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422605 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:03:06 +0000 Midwest Girl 422605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you about the blue dress. It is too short and the neck is too high, and the shape is too straight. But the black dress is another story. I love the shape and the length-it's very flattering on you and super cute with the leggings. The cardigan is not my thing, but it seems to fit you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422599 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:55:10 +0000 Suz 422599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like #3 a lot. This dress is getting a lot of love on the board! Several others have bought it. </p> <p>I don't care for #1 on you. And I'm not sure about the cardi; can you please style it for us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422592 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:52:29 +0000 catgirl 422592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cardi, adore the second dress. I got that same dress in #1 and have yet to take photos... I have the same doubts about the neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422577 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:41:48 +0000 kellygirl 422577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3 on you. It's my favorite of the lot. It's very flattering. I'm not crazy about #1. The neckline is too high and the cut doesn't really show off your fab figure. Can you post a front view of the cardi? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/missoni-keep-or-return#post-422571 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:35:54 +0000 christina 422571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up a few pieces of the Missoni collection at Target but need some help deciding if these are right for me. I am a MOTG, mid 40 with an hourglass figure. Your brutal honesty would be greatly appreciated!.</p> <p>1. Blue dress - very cute print. But, I don't like how short it is or how close to my neck it is. I'm wearing it with leggings. I purchased the coordinating tights, but I fear they will not provide me with the coverage I want. It also doesn't do much for my hourglass shape. I think this will do well with boots later in the season.</p> <p>2. What do think of the cardigan?</p> <p>3. Black dress. I like the open neckline but think the pouch in the front doesn't do much for thinning the hips. It's very comfortable - also worn with leggings. I could see me driving carpool in this outfit.</p> <p>Would love your honest comments!! </p>
