You can tone them down for teaching by wearing a bootie or boot with a longer cardi or tunic. But for going out at night you can wear those heels and a shorter or tucked top and really wow em. </p> <p>I adore that dress. I'm eager to hear where you will be wearing it. The only restaurant I can think of where I might wear something like that is the Arizona Inn. There has got to be other places I don't know about. I've only been to the symphony a couple of times in the afternoon and the dress was appalling. I wonder if evenings are dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254503 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 08:13:23 +0000 Sally 254503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had pants that looked that hot, I would be wearing them to the max. They are stunning on you.<br /> The black dress is very elegant. You can't go wrong with a little black dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254296 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 22:17:54 +0000 Kate 254296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will definitely be keeping both of them.

(to both) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254072 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 03:41:35 +0000 Anonymous 254072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!! Both the pants and dress are gorgeous on you and wonderful pieces for any wardrobe. I'll bet you have fun finding a variety of ways to use both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254040 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 02:12:30 +0000 MsMary 254040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Permission granted.</p> <p>Carry on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254039 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 02:10:30 +0000 Kari 254039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both! Your legs look a mile long in those pants, and the dress is beautiful and would be great both for layering over blouses, and as a great LBD to have in your closet in case you ever need it.</p> <p>(I have the black scuba pencil skirt too - it's awesome! I even accidentally put it in the wash with other darks - the tag says to dry clean only - and it came out perfectly fine. Woohoo!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254029 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 01:40:28 +0000 Kyle 254029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great buys. Keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254002 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:37:34 +0000 Reneeb 254002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the pants they look great your legs go on forever. I love the Loft dress on you I could not make it work but I got the scuba pencil skirt &amp; jacket. Don't you love that scuba fabric it is so comfortable and don't show ever lump and bump. (but you don't have any) Great finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254001 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:20:21 +0000 cciele 254001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the pants and the dress fit like they were made for you! Great finds. The shoes look good except for the booties -- to me, they seem to shorten your leg line because of the contrast in color. I think the pants are fine for teaching. Not sure about an academic conference -- as Jenava says, they need to be made less body con somehow.</p> <p>Love the ruffle detail on the dress! LBD material for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-254000 Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:19:01 +0000 Kate 254000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas Jenava, I will definitely be wearing a longer cardi or tunic over these pants to keep the outfit appropriate! </p> <p>This is the dress: <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=27568&#038;Nr=AND%28CAT_SALE_FLAG:Y%29&#038;N=1200045&#038;pCategoryId=3364&#038;categoryId=280&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_280&#038;loc=TN&#038;defaultColor=Black&#038;defaultSizeType=Regular&#038;cid=A0001" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....;cid=A0001</a> It's the same fabric as their scuba line (I have the pencil skirt and love it!), and is very stretchy and feels like a ponte even though it's a woven. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-253980 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 23:41:01 +0000 Beth 253980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keepity, keep, keep.</p> <p>The pants are so flattering on your legs (I like the idea of longer tops for work days) and the dress is really lovely. Good day at the mall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-253974 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 23:33:28 +0000 Tricia 253974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow, those pants make your legs look ten miles long. KEEP! The dress is fab, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-253970 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 23:28:44 +0000 Jenava 253970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pants are fab on you; you might want to consider wearing a long cardi or tunic if you're going to wear them to a conference where everyone else is in pleated trousers (ETA - and I don't mean the cute, trendy kind...) (-: Or, at least pair it with some volume on the top so the overall look isn't too body-con.</p> <p>The dress is amaaaazing. Is it a ponte knit? I can't really tell from the pic. I have a knit dress (Angie has the same one) that is knit and it's very comfy. You can dress it up (black dot hose, pashmina, patent pumps) or down (tights, denim jacket/chunky knit cardi, flat boots). I would say this definitely qualifies as a LBD.</p> <p>OH, and you could also layer UNDER the dress to show off the ruffle - white button downs are great for this...or a thin, l/s or 3/4 slv knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-253967 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 23:20:32 +0000 Anonymous 253967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brown pants are super flattering...I think you should keep them! I'm also a grad student and don't think they look too trendy. I like them best with the pumps or the boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-253959 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 22:51:11 +0000 Mo 253959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep keep keep!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep#post-253956 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 22:45:19 +0000 Kate 253956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned the H&amp;M blazer today, and hunted for a better one, with no luck. I did however buy:</p> <p>- brown really skinny pants at Gap (# 1-6) Do they work with all of the different shoes pictured (black pumps, red t-straps, cognac booties, brown boots), and are they too tight and/or trendy for teaching college students or wearing to an academic conference? Obviously I would be wearing very different things on top. Should I stick to trousers?</p> <p>- black sculpted sheath dress Loft (7-9) It fits PERFECTLY! And was only $17 with all of the sales and deals going on!!! I'm curious how versatile it is - is this true LBD material? What kind of occasions is this dress appropriate for? </p>
