So flattering and Classic. That silk DVF number is going to be a "star" in your wardrobe and the neck sheath fits like a dream and will be a workhorse. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath/page/2#post-1538422 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 13:58:33 +0000 Vix 1538422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry not to get back to this thread last night, but thank you everyone else who took the time to comment!<br /><b><br />Firecracker, CocoLion, Beth Ann -- </b>A thumbs-up from such a trio that demands practicality + style in their clothing means a lot! Though CL you're way too extravagant with the compliments. ;)&nbsp;I can already tell these'll get more wear than the cargo pants I bought a few years ago, struggle to style, yet can't seem to pass on yet. Simple is better for me!<br /><b><br />Tulle -- </b>Funny, I thought of that movie too when I put that black one on. I'm sure glad A Hepburn isn't the only pop culture role model for the LBD!<br /><b><br />Brooklyn -- </b>Please&nbsp;<b></b>share your dress over skirt stylings...love what I've caught of your outfits so far (even if our seasonal inversion means I need an ice-filled glass to look at your current ones!)</p> <p><b>Suzie, Jeanie, Beth -- </b>Extra thanks for the knee love; I have to work pretty hard for them (and the rest) but bonus is that my ancient knee health issues are improving! Beth, 40 legs sound good to me -- sets to switch out. </p> <p><b></b>BTW<b> Beth, </b>the print is the item I was thinking of in your moto thread when I said I was comparing 2 sizes of something...in the end went with the one slimmer through arms/torso.<br /><b><br />Nadya -- </b>As another big dress or skirt wearer, you know how fun it is to add stuff that's practical yet special! And yes on the simple ponte dresses -- a colorblock one NAS a few years ago is in pretty heavy rotation and starting to look it. Feel a little bad the younger model's lined up. ;)<b>&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b>Goldenpig </b>-- &nbsp;I think this style would work really well on you, too -- can't remember if you've worn something like it -- slim arms + not too much volume + ability to wear as a more open V.</p> <p><b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath/page/2#post-1538383 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 13:08:29 +0000 Jeanie 1538383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dresses! &nbsp;Your knees are very pretty and worthy of showing off. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath/page/2#post-1538298 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 05:39:46 +0000 goldenpig 1538298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both dresses on you...you look smashing and your knees are very pretty. The skirt under dress is genius. It looks great both ways. At first I thought you wore the shift on top of the black sheath dress! You must keep both! You have such a great eye for flattering prints and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538278 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 04:06:28 +0000 Nadya 1538278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect choices - I think you'll wear the heck out of these! I have a v neck sleeveless EF pointe dress and it's a workhorse. To find something similar in silk is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538266 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 03:24:10 +0000 Brooklyn 1538266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the dress over dress look. I do this too sometimes Both of these pieces look fab on you especially with your hair do and sunnies. Very classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538252 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 02:59:39 +0000 tulle 1538252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow to both of these!&nbsp; The DVF looks great with those shoes, and your knees are definitely ready for prime time.&nbsp; And in the black dress, you could be straight out of La Dolce Vita. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538250 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 02:52:57 +0000 Beth Ann 1538250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great move to loosen the drawstring --- we should always be boss of our clothes!&nbsp; These are both chic and lovely -- I think the print dress could still work for work dinners -- still professional, if not quite as conservative.&nbsp; Both of these pieces will work for most of the year, which is great for wardrobe flexibility.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538162 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 00:21:03 +0000 Beth 1538162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Errrr....meaning that you have fabulous legs that are over 40 years of age, not that you have 40 legs. No centipedes here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538161 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 00:20:01 +0000 Beth 1538161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these dresses look better on you than on the model. Perfectly gorgeous, and I'm adding you to the Over Forty Fabulous Legs club (OFFL)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538139 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 23:25:23 +0000 CocoLion 1538139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flawless. &nbsp;You make the best choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538078 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 21:16:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1538078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both stunning on you. I like the way you can vary the look of the shift, and how easily the sheath can be layered over. Both will get a lot of mileage, I bet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538074 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 21:05:37 +0000 Susie 1538074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look spectacular in both of these!

Life is getting in the way of YLF time but it's mostly good stuff so I can't complain. Still building my tolerance...and wardrobe...for high temps, Angie!</p> <p><b>Peri --</b> since it's so hot it's actually over a skirt, but you'll be right in a bit. Hmmmm, don't you have s new tube skirt? ;)</p> <p><b>Jackie,</b> big smile from me. But please no enabling haha!</p> <p><b>Banoffi, Elly, and Eliza </b>-- my knees and I thank you. I do wear up to about 3 inches above regularly. People see more when I'm running for the bus. Thx slip shorts. Ready to test these out!</p> <p><b>Adelfa and Alasse</b> -- I don't like borders at the bottom but do like prints layered over solids. Glad you think it looks interesting vs wrong!</p> <p><b>UmmLila and Adelfa </b>--&nbsp;<b></b>I tried but couldn't resist the print. Happy to have company! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1538036 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 19:36:50 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1538036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So elegant.

Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537896 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 15:56:04 +0000 Adelfa 1537896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That DVF print is TDF and I can't believe how great it looks layered over the skirt! Every single shot here is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537856 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:50:16 +0000 Elly 1537856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix-- you look amazing in both pieces. Your knees are good-- quit worrying about them! I particularly like the sheath on you, but that is because of the waist it shows off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537843 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:38:37 +0000 Banoffi 1537843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both of these outfits, as do your knees!&nbsp; :)&nbsp; The dresses really suit your statuesque figure.&nbsp; <br /><em></em> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537796 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:06:21 +0000 jackiec 1537796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love your footwear too. Both dresses are amazing but that sheath is perfection on you. I'd repeat that in another colour in a heartbeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537775 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 13:49:56 +0000 Peri 1537775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

Lovely to see you post again.&nbsp;</p> <p>And can we BLESS our beautiful hot Summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537755 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 13:36:59 +0000 Vix 1537755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Thanks much! I have to say the sheath is one of those items I put on and thought, "ok, I think this thing has magical properties." The band sits at my natural &nbsp;(short) waist, which helps. </p> <p>All the other colors are brights [blue version below] -- hope they add neutrals as I'm a no-regrets duplicater (charcoal for me, please).</p> <p><b>Anne -- </b>glad you couldn't tell! I wasn't in the mood to take a photo of the waist-pulled-tighter one or you would have known, ha.</p> <p><b>Suz -- </b>Yes, not sure if your red dress would work over a pencil but you might try. I had a sleeveless version of the shift made several years ago and it's been super-versatile for me. The fabric on this DVF is heavier (awesomely so) but I knew I could layer it over sheaths, pencil skirts, pants.</p> <p><b>Unfrumped -- </b>Merci! I'm afraid I would fail the 5-piece French project because I have a lot of $20 items that work well for me and I wouldn't want them to count! &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia, Dakotachryl, Aliona, and Shannon, and Murpheleven --&nbsp;</b>I always agonize a bit over items that take a big chunk out of my clothing budget but I feel good about these 2...and your kind reviews add to that!&nbsp;</p> <p>ps Cheryl -- Thanks for the knee love, ha. The shoes were bought for a wedding several years ago and don't get out much (they're comfortable enough, but not practical given I'm often walking a fair bit when I'm in play mode). I forget how much fun they are!<b></b> </p> </p> <p>pps to MEleven -- yes, a lava lamp. My place isn't very serious. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537751 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 13:33:33 +0000 Murph11 1537751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look stunning in these looks!

Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-winners-knees-please-shift-and-ponte-sheath#post-1537729 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 12:53:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1537729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in both of these dresses Vix.
