I think volume on top and bottom tends to make us disappear. One needs to be slender. But I love the idea and the color combination </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-831138 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:44:04 +0000 Inge 831138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the other lasses about the lengths not quite working here, but I just wanted to chime in and say I really love this colour combo on you, Khris: modern classic and soft and crisp at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-831079 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:37:30 +0000 JuneBug 831079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would suggest a similar bottom too like a thick pair of opaque leggings (or 2) or something skinny. The rest of your outfit is pretty and crisp looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-830770 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 06:44:07 +0000 Kiwichik 830770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>late to the party - I think the dress works layered over pants but the pants need to be slim legged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-830625 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 01:08:18 +0000 krishnidoux 830625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input. Most useful! </p> <p>Ceit, you confirm what I was suspecting. The low waist of this dress is its problem. It has an indentation in the pattern, covered by my belt, which makes it impossible to cinch it higher.<br /> It's supposed to have this "1920" feel that was on trend in 2012, but now it only has a "My hips are too low" feel.<br /> I am so sorry that you have to suffer like this in your house! That is serious cold inside any place. This week our gaz tank had a minor malfunction and we were not heated for a few hours. It came down to 18 and I was freezing! </p> <p>Nadya, thank you! I bought this clutch before going on posting knowing I would need something nice for evening functions, and I did! I used it again and again... Now that I am back home I barely ever take it out. But obviously I should! I think layering over these particular pants may not be the best idea either.</p> <p>Suz, legging and boots, must try it. I am always afraid to look like Robin Hood when wearing leggings, boots and a large belt. But I'll give this a try and post. I am so sorry that you still felt cold with all the coverage. You are better than me, I didn't even venture outside! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-830540 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 23:13:47 +0000 Anonymous 830540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think belted higher with skinnier bottoms would look good!</p> <p>Hope you keep warm....our power was out all afternoon and just came on as we were deciding if we needed to go stay with friends for the night as it was down to 16C in the house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-830528 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 22:44:28 +0000 Suz 830528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Nadya -- I think it would work with slimmer pants or leggings and boots. I also wonder about the photo angle, though - you seem a bit foreshortened in this one. </p> <p>I understand about the cold. It is BITTER now here - the temperature isn't too bad but the damp seems to sink to the bones. I was cold today skating in my down puffer layered over a modal/cotton turtleneck and a wool turtleneck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-830511 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 22:13:44 +0000 Nadya 830511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the three layers of white (blouse, dress and belt.) I think I'd prefer it over slimmer slacks, if you have any. And your purse is GORGEOUS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-trying-to-stay-warm#post-830482 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:31:40 +0000 krishnidoux 830482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am trying to wear this dress I thrifted back in November. It is too cold to wear it as a dress, so I thought of trying it over pants. Right now it is so cold, just about anything is acceptable in offices. However, looking at it,I think it shortens my legs too much. What do you think?</p> <p>Shooties: Women's Clarks Class Burke in brown<br /> Pants: Talbot<br /> Blouse: Kookai<br /> Clutch: Browns<br /> Belt: Mango</p> <p>Any other suggestions for this dress?</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
