The bookending, the contrast between swingy and stern, you are pushing the envelope! With a belt? Maybe - With chunky, lug-soled boots? (think high-heeled hiking boots with sweater tops) Hm.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442925 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:54:58 +0000 cjh 442925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo all the praise. The dress looks great on you, and the shoes are cool addition. I think the total is what makes it work... are you wearing sheer mushroom stockings? If not, the shadow makes it looks like you are and the monochrome theme is what I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442240 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:52:21 +0000 Queen Mum 442240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this really works Jean. I love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442234 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:40:34 +0000 Anonymous 442234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes YES YES! Perfect just as it is!<br /> I knew if anyone could do this, it would be you.<br /> Utter fabuloisity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442115 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:07:48 +0000 catgirl 442115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five Inge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442109 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:04:53 +0000 Inge 442109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely yay from me. Una beat me to it: when I saw that green dress in Angie's post, I was absolutely smitten with it and immediately thought "this is something Jean would rock", and here you are rocking it big time!!</p> <p>I think it works beautifully with your long legs, the length of the more fitted sleeves and the fact that you can still see your waistline. I bet it looks even better in motion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442086 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:48:13 +0000 catgirl 442086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. It reminds me of the green dress in this blog post of Angie's:</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER&lt;&gt;folder_id=2534374306436532&#038;PRODUCT&lt;&gt;prd_id=845524446417201&#038;R=883936663781&#038;P_name=Marc+by+Marc+Jacobs&#038;N=306436532&#038;site_refer=AFF001&#038;siteID=fV7QgDWUWe0-5T.IjPxfcNw1M.o_HzTAYw&#038;LScreativeid=1&#038;LSlinkid=10&#038;LSoid=203719&#038;LSsid=fV7QgDWUWe0" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....V7QgDWUWe0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442074 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:34:09 +0000 Irene 442074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add a belt and be fabulous. Love it (you can pull it off because you are especially tall and lean) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-442052 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:07:50 +0000 Aida 442052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the oxfords work well with the dress, but I would like to see the scarf come out and tied in a way that gives you an extra dose of vertical lines (it would also break up the dress a bit).</p> <p>(I voted yay!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441981 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:05:38 +0000 Sarah 441981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441933 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:08:22 +0000 Isis 441933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool arty look!

I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441927 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:58:22 +0000 Anonymous 441927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm teetering. I understand why I'm supposed to love it. And I knew without looking which forum members would be raving. </p> <p>Part of me thinks it's rad, part of me thinks it looks like you escaped from a 19th-century Oklahoma orphanage.</p> <p>I think your profession helps push it over to the rad side.</p> <p>And of course you would be the hippest Oklahoma orphan ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441920 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:49:56 +0000 Marley 441920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Things are frumpy right up until they are fabulous and fashionable." Love that quote! You really look great in this Jean - I would wear this in a second! Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441914 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:41:34 +0000 Anna 441914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get the image of Carol Burnett as the Cleaning Lady out of my head... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441886 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:18:19 +0000 Sowmya 441886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very artsy and boho! Love it! I think its very tough to pull this off but you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441856 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:36:44 +0000 Jonesy 441856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's awesome--very distinctive, artsy, and up-to-date, IMHO. It says confidence to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441844 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:11:24 +0000 Suz 441844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, I love this on you. </p> <p>And wish I could pull it off, too! Oh, for five or six extra inches! </p> <p>It's funny...your mushroom colours come up purply, and my lavenders come up mushroomy! It must be a difficult distinction for the camera to catch. Thank goodness the tongue and the nose can distinguish better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441843 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:09:29 +0000 rae 441843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it - the flats are unexpected and artsy.. I think it works because you can clearly see where your waist starts and you have naturally long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441841 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:07:53 +0000 Angie 441841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>I am all over this look! (If you can imagine it in brights and black/white). *This* is an example of Euro Chic.</p> <p>Ladies, things are frumpy right up until they are fabulous and fashionable - this outfit is a brilliant example. It's as if a switch is turned on.</p> <p>Belt will also look great. </p> <p>Jean, you ROCK MY STYLE WORLD! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441831 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:59:55 +0000 JennyAnne 441831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress/shoes combo, too, but agree that it could use a belt or vest or something. There's a lot of real estate taken up by the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441830 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:57:39 +0000 crazyone 441830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost love it! I love the flat oxford plus midi dress combo, you are tall enough to pull it off well. I'd like to see the scarf go (or at least get wrapped more loosely) so that we see a little bit more skin there to make up for the covered-up nature of the dress. A cognac belt might be great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441820 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:47:31 +0000 Kate 441820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, it looks a little "clunky" to me. Personally, I would try adding heels (even short ones) with a skirt of that length, experimented with belts, or maybe switch out the watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441819 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:46:41 +0000 missvee 441819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress, it looks kind of casual and arty, and the shoes add to that vibe. What does the outfit look like with the dress belted? I think it's the sort of dress that you can play with - add a denim jacket, boots, belt, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-and-midi-dress#post-441814 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:40:57 +0000 greenglove 441814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all sure this works.<br /> Yay or nay and any suggestions would be appreciated!<br /> Dress is NOT purple- do not know why it reads that way- it is mushroomy.</p> <p>Thank you ladies! </p>
