I prefer #2 with the leggings (looks sassier to me) but I do also like #1. When it's hot out, I think subbing in strappy sandals (either heeled or flat) will look great with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-461275 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:24:53 +0000 rachylou 461275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is esp. adorable, but not in a little girl way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460977 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 04:54:51 +0000 Anonymous 460977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwww! *blush* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460975 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 04:49:08 +0000 sarah 460975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - this is a sweet summer look. I especially love it with the leggings and flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460952 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 04:13:53 +0000 Deborah 460952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire you a such a sweetie! Summer is my least confident season fashion wise so I having been paying special attention to you all over the past months :). In fact soon I will post a dress inspired by you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460923 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:32:55 +0000 Sowmya 460923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a classic and looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460916 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:20:47 +0000 Anonymous 460916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I love cool summer dresses! I feel the same way when I wear empire cuts. I love a capped sleeve, but the puffed ones make me feel like a schoolgirl!</p> <p>I like it with and without leggings, but I much prefer it with the flats. A flat sandal would be nice too, for when it gets *really* hot. </p> <p>I love your natural sophistication and I will be following your outfits closely this season. I have a hard time gettting the look I want when the weather heats up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460891 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:44:44 +0000 Deborah 460891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks beautiful ladies:)</p> <p>Angie, thanks. I realise this is certainly not my 'best' look but it is so comfortable and cool and 'useful' on really hot days, so Im glad the dress didn't get 'marching orders' i.e. march right out of my closet lol</p> <p>Celia, thank you, I like being able to create a couple of different looks with the same dress.</p> <p>Suz, good thing I cleaned the kitchen last night lol. Can you tell I am a minimalist? Drives hubby crazy:) It think it is the empire line and the length of the dress that made me question. I do have another polka dot dress which if the weather stays warm may get a wear later in the week, if so will post to see what you think.</p> <p>Sveta, the more I look a the pictures I think I prefer the dress with leggings too but when its really hot bare legs are just more comfortable.</p> <p>Nicoleb thanks, you have such a cool and youthful style.</p> <p>JennyAnne, I do think the bare legs and heels create a slightly different feel to when worn with leggings.</p> <p>Vicki, let me know your flight details:) Next time I will try with a red necklace and see how it looks...I think I was being a bit lazy and safe this morning.</p> <p>Erin, thanks and it's not that I mind "looking young" I just don't want to look like I am trying to hard :)</p> <p>Jonesy, you know even though I was abviously very aware of that fact that my wardrobe was very black heavy it wasn't until I started posting photos that I realised just how much black and white featured in my outfits... I do love it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460828 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:07:51 +0000 Jonesy 460828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Suz about the empire waist (in combination with the cap sleeves, I think). But, I love the polka dots, and the black and white combo is certainly *you*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460822 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:05:35 +0000 Erin 460822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! Very cute with the leggings! I think that the colour helps it to not look too "young". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460798 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 01:48:01 +0000 Vicki 460798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, it is not young on you and I, too, prefer it with the leggings. Would you like me to bring my red necklace over? It's a bit of a flight! But, I think your idea of a red necklace is excellent and I love the black, white and red combination. Great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460758 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 01:22:34 +0000 JennyAnne 460758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really nice. i like it better without the leggings, though. It looks more sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460725 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:54:44 +0000 nicoleb 460725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460722 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:52:20 +0000 Sveta 460722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Deborah, especially with leggings and flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460685 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:29:24 +0000 Suz 460685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, you have such a great sense of style and know what works for you so well! </p> <p>I really like this on you; the black and white is your signature (and how great do you look posing in your modernist kitchen/dining area with the red kettle in the background?). And those accessories are beautiful! </p> <p>I understand why it might feel a bit young; it is the empire style. While it doesn't LOOK young (the black and white helps with that) I know that when I wear that style it feels like baby doll pajamas. However, the waist surrender is excellent for a hot day, and this summer, why not keep your eye out for a similar dress in a different cut? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460674 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:13:12 +0000 celia 460674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is very young looking.Actually I think you look very good in both of the outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460673 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:11:27 +0000 Angie 460673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfectly breezy and fun look on a hot day, Deborah! Not too young at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polka-dots-on-a-summers-day#post-460667 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:59:19 +0000 Deborah 460667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies, </p> <p>Needing guidance on my summer wardrobe. I never enjoy the transition to the warmer weather as I'm a winter girl at heart and my preference is definitely for winter clothing ... So I would love your thoughts on this dress, which I am convinced looks better IRL than in a photo :(. </p> <p>Cringing as I ask, but is it too "young looking"?</p> <p>#1 is how I have worn it to work today.</p> <p>I'm thinking some red beads might add a nice pop of color, however today went with a long black ball pendant and silver onyx ring.</p> <p># 2 is how I wore it on the weekend to a casual dinner at Church.</p> <p>The dress is cotton and is so lovely and cool on a hot day that I almost don't care what it looks like ... But I do!</p> <p>Your thoughts, suggestions very much appreciated.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
