The colors, prints, and cut are gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218884 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 06:57:43 +0000 Katiepea 218884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac you look great! That second dress is absolutely stunning. You must post WiW posts with you wearing this dress in the future. Pretty please and pinky promise?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218879 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 06:04:40 +0000 yublocka 218879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love both those dresses.

Looks so fab on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218852 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:58:12 +0000 Mac 218852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, AJ. I love 'em, too.</p> <p>Angie - what a coincidence that your SIL and I both bought the same dress! I can't wait to find cool ways to wear it this autumn. I think its colouring is unusual and beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218838 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:32:43 +0000 AJ 218838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I luv the metallic leather wedges and both wrap dresses! You shopped well in the USA! It was fun to see your loot. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218747 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:04:55 +0000 Angie 218747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sis in law bought the JONES wrap dress while she was here. It is KILLER on her and on you, Mac! The colours and pattern are exquisite. Nice quality too. </p> <p>Did you have fun shopping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218677 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:33:12 +0000 Michelle 218677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, I want to emulate you this fall and acquire wrap dresses! Have you had local success or were all of these U.S. purchases? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218653 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:12:44 +0000 Mac 218653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna - I think the second dress was from Macy's... it's by Jones New York and would look gorgeous on you. </p> <p>Jonesy - I agree that the Target dress isn't the best ever but it's super-comfy and dead cheap and it's infinitely better than the other things that I usually wear to just schlump around the house or run to the grocery store so I'm still thrilled with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218633 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:55:44 +0000 marianna 218633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I MUST have that wrap dress! Send it my way, please? The print is so pretty. Where is it from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218628 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:52:40 +0000 Jonesy 218628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wrap dress in the second pic looks really beautiful. The print is fab and it looks like it fits you really well. The first one looks okay, but not as over-the-top terrific as the other ones IMHO--you have set the bar so high with the others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-218622 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:48:42 +0000 Mac 218622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El-Cheapo dress from Target. So comfy... too short to wear without leggings: whatever will I do once leggings go out of fashion?!</p> <p>And I think this is my final item: another wrap dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-217188 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 22:40:26 +0000 marianna 217188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUCH a please to see you and your purchases. Love the wrap dress, love the oxfords... love it all! More Mac pics, pleaseee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-217120 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 18:39:30 +0000 Jonesy 217120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fabulous dress! The fit is great and the pattern is really nice; it will look so perfect with tights and boots/booties (or wedges!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-216981 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:51:17 +0000 Lisa 216981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the items shown, but so far the wrap dress is my favorite. Lovely on you, both colors and fit wise. I also really like the slippers, much nicer than the usual animal one's or the super duper fluffy one's I always see. I may have to try a pair of those, thanks for posting them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-216917 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 08:13:17 +0000 Sparky 216917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress! I'm drooling over your entire haul. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-216719 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 21:16:17 +0000 Mac 216719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clearly this is not the way I'm going to style this dress, but the point of this thread is to just show you my "haul," and here's a dress that I'm very excited about. I'll always wear it with leggings or tights, and will be trying a variety of layering items on top (camisole, turtleneck, cardi, blazer, etc) to see how those look.</p> <p>Michelle, it's a wrap dress that falls about 2 inches above my knee. The sleeves are mid-forearm length and the pattern is kind of wild: purple, blue, orange, cream and burgundy. It's stretchy polyester so is the sort of thing that should travel well, too.</p> <p>(I just threw on some heels I had sitting nearby; they're not new) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-216038 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:59:03 +0000 Michelle 216038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, thanks again for describing your items! I love it! The dress sounds so very very you, and I hope it gives you a bit of a lift! Would it work with your new bracelet? :)<br /> I'm sorry to hear you're still feeling lousy. *hugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215972 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 13:15:00 +0000 Mac 215972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent. Slightly shortened dress with heels/ wedges it is, then. Thanks for the help, ladies. Will post photos of it again with other shoes... once it's been hemmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215934 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 07:22:49 +0000 rute 215934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you are lovely!<br /> Those shoes are to die for!<br /> portuguese slippers! Nice choice ;)<br /> he dress is lovely and so the oxfords, but don't like to see the two together, for that dress go for a different type of shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215909 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 05:34:27 +0000 Scarlet 215909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, that dress looks absolutely stunning on you! The belt is a perfect choice too. If I imagine it with the wedges I am just falling over. Those oxfords look gorgeous as well, but I agree about the length comments. Also I will just say again, I love the floors in your house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215845 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 02:22:31 +0000 Sveta 215845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, such great finds! I will sound like a broken record about that dress, I am afraid, but it does look great on you. I would shorten it though. I am about the same height as you and I thought I can wear longer dresses BUT shortening them made all the difference in the world!<br /> I should learn how to shop in US from you. Care to open a school?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215828 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 01:21:56 +0000 Sparky 215828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress and so flattering on you! More swooning over your new oxfords . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215696 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:42:52 +0000 Vix 215696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress looks as if it were made to accentuate your charms (and those of the wedges, ha). </p> <p>Agree with taking it up to kneecap or just above...though IIRC you are tall, and so could probably leave it as-is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul/page/2#post-215676 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:14:11 +0000 Jonesy 215676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, let me just repeat my earlier comment: The dress looks GORGEOUS on YOU !! It's not just a good-looking dress--it looks really gorgeous on you. I hope you'll keep posting your looks for everyone to enjoy.</p> <p>Yep, I could just tell that those shoes were pricey! They are so beautiful; they almost have a personality of their own, if that makes any sense. Hand-made shoes just look special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul#post-215671 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:01:20 +0000 Mac 215671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the oxfords are a kind of metallic taupe. They are hand-made in Italy... with a price tag to match, alas : ) They feel like butter on my feet, and wore them without socks most of today... with no resulting blisters!!!! (a huge deal for me)</p> <p>I think you're right - I tried on the dress with my new wedges and it looked better with heels. </p> <p>BJ111 - thanks for the comment about my figure. I feel pretty lousy these days and am trying to perk myself up with wardrobe updates; a compliment like yours helps more than you can know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul#post-215665 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 20:52:27 +0000 bj1111 215665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mac,</p> <p>you have a _great_ figure. love that dress on you. super color and very fresh with the oxfords. agree with jonesy that a smidge shorter on the dress with flats or longer with heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul#post-215662 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 20:49:26 +0000 Jonesy 215662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks gorgeous on you. It's somewhat trendy right now to have skirts and dresses hit a bit lower, but at the knee seems universally flattering to my eye (or right above). I guess I'm saying I could go either way on the length. If you keep it long, higher heels might look sassier (so, those WEDGES, for example!!). Those oxfords are really beautiful, and look very well-made. Are they taupe? So chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul#post-215652 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 20:43:04 +0000 Mac 215652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay - next is a dress that I picked up at Macy's. I especially love the shape but it falls about 2 inches below my knee, and I think it should probably be shortened a wee bit. What do you think of the length? Michelle - it's a v-neck dress that's narrow through the waist and then flares out a bit: dark brown with cream, light brown and black spots.</p> <p>I also bought a belt inspired by the elasticized wide belts I've seen Marianna sport. </p> <p>The oxfords are not from my US haul but rather were ordered online from a Canadian source called Gravity Pope. The full body shot doesn't do them justice, so a few closeups for your viewing pleasure : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-usa-haul#post-215290 Mon, 13 Sep 2010 04:00:40 +0000 Vix 215290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, those wedges are gorgeous! I live in wedges and I am coveting. </p> <p>I hope you'll share your other finds (on you or off you) because so far it seems like you have struck gold! </p>
