I think the dress looks great on you, and I love the bright color and the fun sandals. I like it a lot with the necklace or with the denim jacket. I like how the blue from the jacket bookends the blue in the sandals. YLF!

Angie on "Pink for October and help me style this pls!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-for-october-and-help-me-style-this-pls#post-1057495 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 15:15:23 +0000 Angie 1057495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #3 and #4 best too. Killer. And thanks for wearing pink in Oct. It's touching.  Day Vies on "Pink for October and help me style this pls!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-for-october-and-help-me-style-this-pls#post-1057471 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 14:54:03 +0000 Day Vies 1057471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it better with the jacket since the jacket provides so much structure. I also like the sandals with its wonderful pop of colors. When I look at the dress alone I don't get the feeling that where you're belting is the problem. The issue is the belt itself.  It is completely overwhelmed by the color of the dress and lacks enough width to truly make that metallic statement. As a result the belt adds nothing because it isn't substantial (not thick enough) to compete with that fabulous fuchsia color.

Do you have black or metallic sandals you could wear with the dress?

Great dress!

I struggle to style this one  What exactly is off with this dress?!  Other than the fact that it is pink and clings to every bit of lump and bump on my body, I think the dress silhouette is not quite flattering on me. The belt seems to accentuate the widest part of my torso (my tummy).  I tried to place the belt higher (on my natural waist) but it makes the dress wrinkly and clinched. I also tried the dress without the belt and with a necklace to move the focal point upwards.  Is it working?  And finally I tried a denim jacket, which out of all the looks seems better and more flattering to my eyes. I am stumped for shoe options too.  Are my sandals too colorful for this dress?  I feel like a clown LOL!  I am not heading anywhere in this outfit until I get some approvals/dis-approvals on this one!  Thanks for looking!
