And I adore the red shoes! Super fun wild card. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946429 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 11:17:27 +0000 viva 1946429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, I'm right there with you. I think I am always looking to replicate the beautiful Mary Janes I bought - 15 or even 20 years ago - from Banana Republic, and they were just that "quiet maroon" color in soft leather with a 1.5 inch block heel. They were the most perfect shoe I have ever owned. I'm not sure this screaming red is going to work for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946426 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 11:10:35 +0000 unfrumped 1946426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dresses are very different, so just see.<br /> The red is happy, bug I also struggle with too- bright or too- shiny footwear; I love it in theory but then may not wear.<br /> The quieter maroon color in my EF shoes really works for me. It’s similar to the boot color in the Boden pic. But I am all for trying them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946424 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 10:50:41 +0000 Bijou 1946424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am tempted to order the Boden dress myself because I love the aqua colour and print. I can see both dresses working for you, the plaid dress is very nice and looks like it would be a easy dress to wear casually.</p> <p>I would happily wear the Boden dress anywhere and everywhere, but I don't have an issue with wearing dressy items even in casual situations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946403 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 07:34:16 +0000 Style Fan 1946403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ordering both dresses seems to make sense.&nbsp; Then you can decide what you like IRL.&nbsp; I think the plaid is more your style but florals seem to be big right now.&nbsp; I love the brogues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946376 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 04:05:16 +0000 Anonymous 1946376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about both dresses? At least order both and then decide.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946358 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 01:32:21 +0000 viva 1946358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie, I’ve been wearing a few dresses often this summer, so maybe I’m turning a corner? I find them very comfortable right now. I’m doing a thorough closet review tomorrow and will see what I still have on hand in terms of dresses for the fall, and what I like enough to wear... that will help me determine if it makes sense to bring another dress into the fold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946350 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 00:49:05 +0000 cindysmith 1946350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the plaid dress but I think I would love it more in the floral print. That's me being nitpicky, the plaid dress is really awesome just as it is!</p> <p>And which one of you ladies put me on the boden catalog mailing list? I got a catalog today and SO MUCH PRETTY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946341 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 23:49:57 +0000 Sal 1946341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love the floral shirt dress....gorgeous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946334 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 23:21:59 +0000 Angie 1946334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can see you in the dresses and oxfords. BUT - will you wear the dresses? You have a few that you seldom wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try the Mary Janes - wild card. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946275 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 20:36:58 +0000 LaPed 1946275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of it, especially the plaid dress and the brogues. It's rare that I can wear patent comfortably, but I am nonetheless tempted to try those brogues on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946265 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 19:05:47 +0000 Anonymous 1946265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love a great shirtwaist.

I can really see you wearing them. The red shoes may or may not be that color IRL. If they are that bright, I would find them way more difficult to wear than a lot of other reds -- but YMMV. The dresses are so different; I think once you try them on you will know if one, both, or neither are right for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946230 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 16:56:13 +0000 bj1111 1946230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>super excited for the blue brogues and i can totally see you in that plaid dress.</p> <p>have you seen these d'orsays at nordies?&nbsp; they come in boring colors also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946220 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 16:37:40 +0000 Barbara Diane 1946220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please report back on the dresses. Three very different looks. I’m curious as to which one(s) you’ll keep, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946219 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 16:37:27 +0000 viva 1946219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't be surprised if you are right all the way, Lisa. I do love a good Mary Jane but these may be a little too on-the-nose for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm most excited about the brogues (will let you know how they feel/work for all day) and the flannel dress (which is especially appealing because of its coziness). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946197 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 15:17:15 +0000 Anonymous 1946197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That plaid dress is really you - looks great on others who have modelled it here. &nbsp;Great with a leather jacket and boots. &nbsp;And I NEED those brogues. &nbsp;I wonder how comfy they are for all-day work stints. &nbsp;The red are not quite doing it for me - but who knows how they are until you really see them and get them on. The look a little twee to me - especially in that bright red. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946188 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 14:55:27 +0000 viva 1946188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@Janet: enabler!!!! </b>I ordered the Boden stuff and the Caslon dress, to try. (Although the prints are lovely, the lace-up back of the Anthro dress is really not me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946184 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 14:39:26 +0000 Janet 1946184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I’m no help because I’m a sucker for a good shirtdress (even though it’s a rare one that actually fits me), and I’m going to encourage you to try both of those dresses — the vibes are different but I could see both working for you. </p> <p>The Boden reminds me a bit of this dress I tried on in Anthro — TTS as it fit me well in an 8, BUT was just a touch too tight in the bust on me (gah, again). It’s really cute, and I was envisioning it could be nice worn over black trousers too. It looks a little shorter on the model than IRL. Just in case you want another option to try in that shirtdress category. </p> <p>Both shoe options are totally cute. Love the red as long as those straps aren’t set too high and cut on the tops of your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-stuff-i-am-considering-or-that-dangers-of-a-delayed-flight#post-1946179 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 14:29:04 +0000 viva 1946179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sitting in the airport killing time, and I'm thinking about the fall. I have no real plan style-wise except to make sure I have some things around me that feel amazing and fit well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are a few things I am considering. (Found a 20% off/free shipping code for Boden - 4P4N - which helps with cost quite a bit.) </p> <p>SHOES: I need to add some comfortable shoe options to my relatively limited assortment. My feet have become fussier! <b>I love these two pairs, but is the red just too bright?&nbsp;</b></p> <p>DRESS: I'd really like a shirt dress (with a waist tie) and these are two contenders. I tried another shirt dress from Boden earlier in the summer and it was adorable, but maybe <i>too</i> adorable for my style. This one feels interesting but not outlandish - and I love the quirky placket. <b>Which is better: the Boden floral or the plaid?</b></p> <p>Any thoughts on these items? </p>
