Love the idea of a white or denim jacket - your workplace is pretty casual so that should be fine right (wiah I could) ?&nbsp; And no hose will lighten the whole look<br />(PS I am in the same situation&nbsp;as you on the AC!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453868 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 02:24:54 +0000 Aida 1453868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of pairing light blue (and also some white) with this dress, and also Rachy's idea of popping a soft blouse underneath. Another vote for moto jackets, blazers, and denim jackets. I do like it with the cardi done up as you have. You could also try buttoning it all the way up so it looks like a sweater over a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453840 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:37:02 +0000 frannieb 1453840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a white denim jacket and open toed booties for the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453815 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:54:16 +0000 AM 1453815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of moto jacket. You look divine in red and black. Maybe yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453736 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:57:34 +0000 Meredith 1453736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about something like polka dots? Would something like this work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453733 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:48:06 +0000 catgirl 1453733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would kill for your side view!</p> <p>Ahem, the outfit - very cute and sassy. Love the buttoned cardi - a cropped black jacket would do the same thing too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453627 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 19:12:33 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1453627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are denim jackets formal enough for your workplace? Or a lightweight knit moto in a neutral color? I agree all the black and dark red does kinda read winter to me. </p> <p>I think sans tights and with lighter shoes, maybe white or silver, it could work for the warmer months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453593 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 18:37:27 +0000 trekkiegirl 1453593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a pic without the cardigan, and one with it unbuttoned. Definitely don't like it unbuttoned!!</p> <p>Interesting color suggestions,I would never think to put light blue with it. Maybe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453588 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 18:29:43 +0000 Daria 1453588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think light blue would work well with red - perhaps light blue/black topper and light blue sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453572 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:53:55 +0000 jackiec 1453572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think it would work paired with a bright pink/fuschia?.....could be fun too?.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453569 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:43:26 +0000 Anonymous 1453569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Sara L., cjh, and Windchime. It's cute, you should wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453565 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:32:19 +0000 trekkiegirl 1453565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good idea on the sandals. The major concern I have is that I'm sure our ac will be cranked here at work, and I'll have to have a topper of some kind. Just can't imagine anything but black with this... And then different color shoes?? Just not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453556 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:15:27 +0000 rachylou 1453556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress! Would a blouse underneath work? Something with airy billowy sleeves could be nice for spring... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453537 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:24:31 +0000 fuzzylogic 1453537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have styled this very cleverly &amp; you really look great!!!! </p> <p>Hmmmm- to take this dress into spring/summer how about ligtening it up with perforated shoes or accessories or open toe booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453534 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:16:36 +0000 Windchime 1453534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is really cute and looks great on you! I think you can wear a sleeveless or short-sleeved red dress in summer, even with the black trim. I like cjh's idea to lighten it with silver. Do you have silver sandals?</p> <p>You might also wear a lightweight little black jacket or wrap with it--perhaps something loosely-crocheted. Even with black sandals, the outfit would read "summer."</p> <p>Ooh, red footwear could be fun, too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453504 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:55:39 +0000 cjh 1453504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you feel the black accent trim makes it winterish? I think that wearing without a topper, no hose or sheer ones, and perhaps lighten up with silver jewelry will be enough to bring this dress into spring and summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453494 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:30:59 +0000 Sara L. 1453494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the dress is sleeveless?&nbsp; I guess I don't see what the problem is with wearing it in the spring/summer if that's the case.&nbsp; It's cute and flattering on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-and-black-geo-dress---how-to-update-for-spring#post-1453485 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:19:21 +0000 trekkiegirl 1453485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post is part WIW (today) and part looking for advice. Here is a new dress I've only worn once before, but wasn't posting or tracking at that time yet. The last time, I wore it with a simple black long sleeve tee underneath, just for the sleeves. I think I may have worn a bit more jewelry too. </p> <p>This time, I opted for a black cardigan, buttoned halfway up to accentuate my waist. The dress has black piping in a very geometric design, but the cardigan covers some of it which I'm ok with. The fit is sligthly off, but I'm ok with that too - it looks better in motion. Hair is a bit Brigitte Bardot today, although the volume at the crown isn't as visible in this pic. </p> <p>What do you think of this version? What are some other ways I could wear this dress? What will be a good way to transition it for spring/summer, or do you think it should remain only a fall/winter dress? </p>
