You would look great in that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-647114 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 03:01:15 +0000 Beth Ann 647114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm planning on trying black with brown for the fall, so I love Angie's suggestion. Boots would make the look a little less "pristine." Love the shape on you, Traci! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646572 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:43:33 +0000 Angie 646572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you keep this for Autumn as it. Wear it with brown boots and belt. Add in turquoise jewelry. </p> <p>It's a great dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646569 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:42:59 +0000 Kristin L 646569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress as well. Inge, Deborah and Harmonica have great suggestions. What about colored or patterned tights with boots or botties? You could also add a wild colored or printed handbag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646568 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:42:00 +0000 Mander 646568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about unbuttoning the top part way and adding a bright camisole? Or scrunching up the sleeves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646520 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 11:45:34 +0000 Inge 646520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love this dress on you, Traci! And I don't think it looks boring at all the way you have styled it here. Love Deborah's suggestion of adding red.<br /> I like wearing my black shirtdress with bare legs and knee-high taupe or bone boots, outside I add my off-white pleather jacket, and I often wear a scarf with it too, loosely draped around my neck (e.g. bright green with white polka dots, lime green...)</p> <p>Or how about trying it with a blue or white denim jacket or vest? Flat oxfords, fun booties...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646515 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 11:34:39 +0000 Deborah 646515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, I think you look lovely in this dress as is. The silhourttenis so flattering and I think the right accessories would make this work for you. I would love to see some red with this as I think red would be great on you. Red beads? Red shoes? Admittedly I love black so I would be hesitant to change it, but that's me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646499 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 11:05:40 +0000 harmonica 646499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very eager to see how it looks like if you do that! I was also thinking that you might shorten the sleeves, because I think it would sort of lighten the impression of the dress and you have lovely arms </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boring-black-shirt-dress#post-646497 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 11:02:20 +0000 Traci 646497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's an old picture of the last time I wore the shirt dress I'm thinking of diy'ing. I actually love the shape of the dress. It's very rare that a fuller skirt works on me, so I would love to be able to wear it. It's just that pristine ladylike bent that doesn't feel like me. I can't figure out how to style it to look and feel like myself. I think it's also a texture thing, this is a somewhat stiff smooth fabric. I think that's why the tie dye idea appealed to me.</p> <p>Here's the original thread<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-ideas-for-a-black-shirt-dress" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....hirt-dress</a> </p>
