You better KEEP it!!! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340512 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 01:33:46 +0000 Angie 340512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm here :)</p> <p>FWIW, I am all over dress Dress #3. So Summery and on trend. Love it!</p> <p>Return Dress #2.</p> <p>I like #1. It's about an 8. </p> <p>Did I help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340434 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:39:16 +0000 catgirl 340434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'm going to defend dress 2 here - although the blue makes your waist look longer, the actual cut nips in. The first thing I thought when I saw the photo was "Wow, I didn't know Kim had such a tiny waist!" </p> <p>As far as dress #1, I have nothing against a swingy shift dress as you know, but something about it is a little too sweet for me. So you'll have to discount my opinion accordingly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340360 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:04:24 +0000 Lisa 340360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them, but each is different.<br /> #1 is pretty but is a stand alone dress for me, I don't think it will be easy to layer. Especially in fall/winter, if you need a pretty summer dress I vote keep.<br /> #3 love these colors, unsure about the length so I defer to others, also I think it is quite layering friendly for other seasons. I vote keep, it's my favorite of the bunch.<br /> #5 the dots are fun, but this looks the most formal dress of the bunch. I think accessories will really dress it up or down. Based on the photo, I think it's too dressy for the grocery store, however, material will really affect this choice. If the material is not shiny, it won't be as dressy IRL. I vote keep if the material is not dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340330 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:14:52 +0000 Jean Gray 340330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very fit and I agree that #1 and #2 do you a disservice. I love polka-dots! #3 is the best but I don't know if it's a 10. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, I don't wear dresses much...but the staps seem a little wide and the dress a little long. It still looks a little matronly for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340326 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 18:59:30 +0000 ticksgirl 340326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kim! I think the first dress is pretty and looks cool and breezy and great for summer, though I'm not wild about it with those sandals. I can see it with simple flat t-strap sandals or some nude or silver wedges. To me the print is soft and pretty and classic and calls for a light, classic sandal. And I like it without the jacket and boots, which seem too heavy for it. I think that's a pink cardi kind of dress. </p> <p>The second dress just does not seem to belong on you. The stripes are overwhelming your slender frame and the colors are not jiving with yours. Sorry. :(</p> <p>I can't decide about the third dress. The shape seems OK, but maybe the print is a bit too big, or high contrast? I think I'd need to see your face with it to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340269 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:46:05 +0000 Jonesy 340269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the polarization on #1 has to do with the whole pro-waist-surrendering crowd vs. the never-surrender-your-waist-always-"show off"-your-figure crowd, with some additional opinions based on the color scheme of pink and white. I happen to like the loose, surrender-your-waistline look, so I like the cut of the dress on you. It seems like it would be nice and easy for hot summer days. I am not a huge fan of pink, but I know that you wear lots of pink, so in that sense, the color scheme is "you" vs. the second dress, which doesn't seem like "you" somehow to me (looks a bit too boho, with the earthy tones, sort-of-tie-dye fabric, and cut). I'm sort of ambivalent on #3. At first I really liked it, but I wonder if it's somehow a bit fussy. Though maybe swapping out the self-belt for a black one would jazz it up nicely...</p> <p>How's that to add murkiness to the picture :)? You need Angie's take! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340214 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:52:33 +0000 Lynne 340214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) your dress a day sounds brilliant for clarifying what your new dress needs to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340189 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:21:24 +0000 Queen Mum 340189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, all three are woven.<br /> I'm surprised at such polarized opinions of #1. I'm not offended in the least, just surprised. It makes it harder to make up my mind. I have such a hard time with dresses because for the most part I am going for casual, but so much of what I consider casual doesn't translate so well on me. If I were looking for office appropriate dresses, I'd be in hog heaven. And any dress that is more than $40 or $50 needs to be able to stick around for atleast 2 years in my closet. (FWIW.. dress 1 was $45 and dress 3 was $75) I know, more info than you asked for, but sometimes knowing prices helps I think.</p> <p>I decided last night that before I make a final decision on 1 or 3, I"m going to wear a dress a day until I've worn all the dresses in my closet. (about 10) That might help me get clarity on what I really need and you all can help me decide what needs to go.</p> <p>or maybe I'll just go back to wearing shorts and tank tops </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340174 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:05:10 +0000 kellygirl 340174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 as a shift that you can throw on during the summer and look perfectly polished. I see what others say about the side view but it doesn't bother me. It looks like it would be lovely in motion. #2 I vote return. That dress makes your waist look loooong and I dislike the color scheme. #3 is perfectly looks retro and fun. I like the fit and flare on you. These are all so different that I'm having a hard time with a rating. I consider your Valentines sheath and your Karen Kane kerchief hem dress both 10s. The first floral is a 10 for what it is--a easy, breezy summer shift. I love wovens when it's hot--it is woven, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340146 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:16:42 +0000 Lynne 340146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the third, it is a 10 to me. It could be casual with sandals, or dressy with heels. The second has potential if it were tailored to fit and shortened? I personally like the idea of the first dress, but in my mind I'm comparing it to you Valentine's DayEaster dress, and even given that you are after a casual dress, it doesn't compare. thx for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340097 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 05:15:13 +0000 afterism 340097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress 1 - Makes me think of a MuMu. </p> <p>Dress 2 - Looks a little big around but might be ok with a belt &amp; a different bra. The length is on trend and the colour is kinda fun.</p> <p>Dress 3 - My favourite of the 3. The shape is good and the print is not too big or too smalle. </p> <p> I would swap out the belt that it came with though. Almost always makes a dress look better IMO.</p> <p>ETA - Dress 2 is a casual only option but dress 3 can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340092 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:51:08 +0000 Kappy 340092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read other comments yet: </p> <p>Dress 1: Ouch, my teeth hurt looking at it; hard to see this as an everyday dress for you. It's a very, very sweet dress. It looks nice, but it's not what I would have pictured as "your" style (in my limited experience with "your" style). But maybe I haven't "seen" enough of your outfits yet.</p> <p>Dress 2: I LOVE this dress on you. I think the colors are fantastic on you. I'm not crazy about those shoes with it. I bought a similar pair of shoes at Kohl's but returned them because they didn't seem to work for me (the Apt 9 vesper sandals that looked so awesome on chewys but didn't work for me). Maybe you could try the Apt 9 August dress sandal with this instead?</p> <p>Dress 3: I think I love this dress on you too. Good point about trying the colors out with a different background. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes/page/2#post-340085 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:15:57 +0000 MNsara 340085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really trust my own judgement, but want to say that I do like the first dress on you! It's a pretty fresh print and an easy sophisticated fit. I don't like it with the black sweater and boots (I'm a low contrast lover), but if you have a bright cropped sweater and sandals, I'd see it as an easy summer dress for almost anything!</p> <p>Second dress is too long in the bust. If it was taken up at the shoulders, I know I'd like it *better*, but I am still struggling with midi length skirts, so I'm not really a big fan of it.</p> <p>Third dress fits you well and has a great retro fit-n-flare style, but the print *is* an eyeful. For low contrast me, that sometimes means I avoid wearing something -- like I'm not 'up to it' on most days. . .so if you can handle the print, I'd keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340082 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:03:29 +0000 elpgal 340082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everything Sarah has said; the first dress is best on its own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340070 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 03:30:45 +0000 catgirl 340070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'm seeing only three dresses. The blue multi-color v-neck is KILLER! At least to my eye. You are a total knockout in it. The black and white one is a close second. I see the appeal of the floral one, but I'm not loving it as much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340063 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 03:23:09 +0000 Misia 340063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE # 5,6 on you, such a great look on you, it's a 11 in my book! The other 2 are just hmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340061 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 03:19:54 +0000 sarah 340061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it on it's own, as in the first photo - it's so light and summery, and your legs look fabulous. I think the dark jacket and boots weigh it down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340057 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 03:16:29 +0000 Queen Mum 340057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh no, my mind isn't made up... it changes every 5 minutes.</p> <p>I am feeling the same way as you about the floral dress Sarah. We don't walk around with our arms up, and I was really drawn to the lightweight summery feel of it. I had played with styling it the other day. But I don't want to be limited to having to style it t to wear it. I wanted something I could throw on with a pair of sandals and bop around town on a hot day. What do we think now? I'm really not trying to sway anybody. </p> <p>haha- and I like the Kohl's sandals with it... maybe I won't return them after all. </p> <p>I'm feeling overwhelmed in the print of number 3. I'm going to try it again and style it, but I can't have any negative feelings to decide to keep a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340051 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 03:05:49 +0000 sarah 340051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm... I'm no good at ratings, so I'll just give my two cents, even tho it sounds like you've made up your mind. I actually like #1 quite a bit in that waste-surrendering sort of way. I think it looks a bit strange from the side only because you're holding up your arm to take the photo. And #3 is very flattering on you. I'm not so fond of #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340027 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:42:45 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 340027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Up for 3.30am feed ;)</p> <p>I agree that #1 and #2 aren't the best. I do like the style of #2, but not the colour/print.</p> <p>#3 I do like, it would be great with a hint of red or bight yellow somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340022 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:17:31 +0000 Sheila 340022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 2 cents:</p> <p>Dress 1: 7 looks good on you...I think you live in a climate where you can wear this a lot...in my neck of the woods I might be able to wear it once or twice a year<br /> Dress 2: 2 colors are too muddy with your coloring, I think<br /> Dress 3: 9, very sharp look, crisp and cool-looking...me likee!</p> <p>You have great taste, good luck as you decide which to keep and/or return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-340015 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:08:27 +0000 bella 340015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like dress #2 but the fit seems off. Maybe it needs ironing so we can see better how it drapes. I also want to see it with your wedge sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-339942 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 23:29:09 +0000 Barbara 339942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM, I really like #3. The other two aren't worthy of your fabness. (Is that a word?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-339939 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 23:24:43 +0000 Queen Mum 339939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL.. that's funny Shabbychick. I named myself Queen Mum because I have 4 boys and have always called myself the queen of my castle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-339937 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 23:20:39 +0000 Anonymous 339937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're going to laugh...because of your profile pic I always associate you with Queen Elizabeth and thought you would look like her. LOL...you are so much prettier than her!!! Sorry for thinking that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-339931 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 23:13:44 +0000 Queen Mum 339931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>elpgal- yes, #1 was from Loft. I loved the detail of that back neck tie. </p> <p>I think I should do a different pic of #3 not standing in front of the white bathroom door and with my face showing before I make a final decision. That might give us all some better clarity.... stay tuned </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-339921 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:52:35 +0000 nicoleb 339921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rating system is too hard for me to decide so i'm just going to say i really like the last dress. The middle one has potential...i want to put a wide-ish belt with it. And the first dress i don't care for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-these-dresses-and-shoes#post-339920 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:52:14 +0000 elpgal 339920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, #1 is from Loft, right? How did you like the back tie? I didn't get it because of that but I'll have to try it again and see. </p>
