Have try it with a really thin black or cream turtleneck? I have one from Uniqlo, thinnest Heatteck, layers well under garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-3-dressing-down-the-occasion-wear-dress#post-2152352 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 00:33:30 +0000 Suz 2152352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal, </b>this is gorgeous -- super current and fun!

The gold and clue might work or a cream jacket too. I don’t have a denim jacket. I am pleased to be able to wear this casually as there are limited dressy occasions right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-3-dressing-down-the-occasion-wear-dress#post-2152307 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 22:40:26 +0000 Carla 2152307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try any bomber style jacket to bookend the casual vibe off the sneakers. &nbsp;Sneakers are brilliant! &nbsp;The side motif is spot on for repeating the dress pattern. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The dress is a great piece for you. &nbsp;The asymmetrical hem is&nbsp;<i>so&nbsp;</i>flattering!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-3-dressing-down-the-occasion-wear-dress#post-2152305 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 22:28:58 +0000 Angie 2152305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try your gold bomber and light blue blazer too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-3-dressing-down-the-occasion-wear-dress#post-2152304 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 22:28:18 +0000 Angie 2152304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the POWER of KILLER</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> you are ready for Fashion Week :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg-3-dressing-down-the-occasion-wear-dress#post-2152302 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 22:27:24 +0000 SarahD8 2152302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like!<br />Seems like it would also work with a jean jacket?

The last time I wore it was to my parents 50th wedding anniversary in March 2019. I decided to try and dress it down for a day of taking Dad to appointments and working from home. </p> <p>Dress 2015<br /> Bag 2018<br /> Sneakers 2019<br /> Blazer 2020 ( second hand addition)</p> <p>I think it works but if I took the jacket off it might feel too bare and dressy again. </p> <p>The dress is navy, black and cream. Bag is navy. I have worn it with the black sandals in the past. </p> <p>Interested in your thoughts - be honest as it is an experiment. </p>
