I think the opaques are too heavy. Also, I really like your vintage outfits with the beret - they become modern and current that way. Looking hip in vintage stuff means adding very current elements into the ensemble mix. For me, that would be my hair and specs. For Julie, it would be her body art. For you, it's your hat! Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-283153 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 03:06:37 +0000 Debora 283153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad the cardigan didn't work out for you, it's a beautiful color. I love the dress and second MaryK about having the dry cleaners work their magic on the collar. I think it looks fine open the way you styled it, and I also like it with the black cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-283149 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 03:01:03 +0000 medusa 283149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer dress! Good call on the cardigan as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-283064 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:37:38 +0000 Tricia 283064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curious to know what Angie thinks of the dress. The cardigan is already up for auction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282855 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 16:08:45 +0000 Tricia 282855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I already listed the cardi on eBay. I might build myself up a little reputation as a vintage seller, heh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282840 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 15:36:05 +0000 rute 282840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your adventures are always fun!<br /> Love the dress!<br /> I'm not sure about the cardi.. it seems too big.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282772 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 08:37:44 +0000 Sally 282772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow you really have a definite style. I love that dress..and it is really you! The sweater looks quite big. I imagine you could wear it with jeans and maybe roll up the sleeves. Actually the colour would look good with denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282734 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:57:47 +0000 Marley 282734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is FAB on you! Just perfect - love it in both pics. I'm not a fan of the sweater - would like to see it styled with something less delicate looking. The sleeves look pretty big! Are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282712 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:06:16 +0000 AJ 282712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is too cute! I think the cardi is too big in the arm holes....sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282709 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 04:34:45 +0000 MsMary 282709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress! I'd have the dry cleaners use their industrial pressing equipment to press the neckline open. I think I'd like the cardi better without the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282692 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:51:06 +0000 Bookarella 282692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress and outfit 2! So cute! The cardi's sleeves look pretty big and bunchy so I am not sure about it with that dress. Seems more casual to me. Maybe you could try scrunching the sleeves up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282683 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:45:43 +0000 Vix 282683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress/black cardigan, wish I had ideas as far as keeping the collar permanently open. Starting with pressing sounds like a good idea.</p> <p>With Sveta on the "belt under dress" for #3. You may need a belt that contrasts more with the dress, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282676 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:39:38 +0000 Sveta 282676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice color and print on the dress.<br /> I would not belt that cardigan: it is too thick and bulges out. You can belt the dress under the cardigan. Nice color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282673 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:37:12 +0000 catgirl 282673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe try styling it the way that inspiration photo was done (the one that prompted the whole camel-sweater hunt!)...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282642 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:47:18 +0000 Tricia 282642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Warm. It's very thick. I think I actually liked it better without the belt when I was changing out of that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282641 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:45:00 +0000 catgirl 282641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress speaks for itself. KEEP (as if you weren't going to!).</p> <p>The cardi is a much better color than before, and I actually don't mind it the way you have styled it. How does it feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-of-tricias-adventures-in-vintage-shopping#post-282613 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:05:44 +0000 Tricia 282613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been around much lately - my family was passing a stomach virus back and forth last week, then my parents were here to visit, and today we were all stuck at home because of an ice storm. But I've gotten in a few of the vintage goodies I ordered and I'd love to know what you think!</p> <p>1-2: 1950s shirtwaist dress. I love the colors here. This dress has a Peter Pan collar, which I generally know I can't wear, but I thought I'd experiment and try this dress with the first few buttons open. I like it, but I can't get the collar to stay spread open - once I have it cleaned, could I press it into shape, do you think?</p> <p>It has belt loops but the belt is long gone, so I subbed in a black belt of my own and tried it with black tights and my Ansel oxfords. In the second pic, I added the black cardi.</p> <p>3. I think I already know the answer here - I've been looking for the perfect camel "grandpa-style" cardigan, partly because I've been dying to put together a variation on this exact outfit, but I don't know. This one is 100% lambswool and so cozy, but I think it's too thick for this delicate dress. Would it work with other outfits - more substantial dresses/skirts, or with jeans?</p> <p>I have a few other things I really love at the cleaners/tailors - can't wait to show you those! </p>
