Such a testimony to the significance of styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842987 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:41:16 +0000 Ingunn 842987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, thanks! I think this is nice for Valentine's day, but then I would add someting brighter or lighter near my face, or keep the scarf on, maybe.</p> <p>Rachy, I'm not sure if anybody have noticed it. My family haven't said anything, and my colleagues have only seen me three days this week, so probably not. But they would notice me wearing a dress all the time, I guess. I've received more compliments on my outfits this week than I normally do.</p> <p>Thank you, Sarah!</p> <p>Amiable, I am very happy if I inspire you. </p> <p>Shevia, thanks! I guess you're right. </p> <p>Adelfa, you're spot on. The addition of something bright or light near my face would have made an important difference to me. *Taking notes* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842831 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:09:28 +0000 Adelfa 842831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your use of brown with the dress. Your palette is dark overall, and low contrast, and that may not suit you optimally. You may like more pop with your looks, either from brights or from lights playing off of darks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842757 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 02:00:56 +0000 Jaime 842757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, and the coat and scarf are super on you. Agree you just might have black wrap dress fatigue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842739 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:40:31 +0000 amiable 842739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally love this idea, and your other capsules too - I just went back to look at your red jeans one, and will be copying many of those. </p> <p>I also have a black jersey dress that I don't know how to style - I may give some of these a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842654 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:15:02 +0000 Sarah A 842654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving following the all week dress challenge. I like the pop of bright red by your face with the scarf which i admired from your capsule post as well. Very creative ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842527 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:37:41 +0000 rachylou 842527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really fun, Ingunn! A really good, clear look at what styling is all about.</p> <p>I *am* curious to know if anyone has noticed it's the same dress. You've looked super different every day, which is just amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842520 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:27:47 +0000 Carole 842520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! This combo would be great for Valentines Day, don't you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842466 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:37:26 +0000 Ingunn 842466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Caro, the black and burgundy together are too dark for me. I'm not very fond of that turtle neck in the first place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842449 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:23:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 842449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red in the scarf &amp; coat are just amazing on you &amp; that dress is such a useful piece. Just an opinion but I think Tina is onto something - the coat &amp; scarf do add another element to your look. Maybe some texture or a slightly brighter top may be worth considering to keep this vibe when you take off the coat &amp; scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842437 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:12:00 +0000 Ingunn 842437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Tina and Angie:) today I felt more "academichic" than I normally aspire to - but nothing wrong with that, after all, I am a teacher! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842315 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 19:20:15 +0000 Angie 842315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842211 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:46:47 +0000 Tina.b 842211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wrap dress is so flattering on you, and I'm amazed with how many variations you've come up with!. The jacket and scarf is my favourite part. The polka dots just add that element of fun to a very tailored look. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842207 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:44:09 +0000 Ingunn 842207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right, Suz, I guess that's it. I still like the outfits I've planned for the rest of the week, though, and am looking forward to trying them out. I will change the silhouette a bit tomorrow, and I am exited to hear what you think about that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842104 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:29:11 +0000 Suz 842104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - can't wait to see it with a belt! </p> <p>I don't think it is missing anything today. Perhaps the slightly lower happiness factor has only to do with the number of times it has already been worn this week. Even the very best and most versatile wardrobe workhorses can feel less than 110% at times. Normally you wouldn't wear it more than about twice or three times and happiness was very high for that number of wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842100 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:24:56 +0000 Ingunn 842100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Raisin, I actually prefer simple, too. When wearing a scarf is the norm, I guess that makes me feel a bit bare without one. </p> <p>Pil, I liked both coats back then. Thank you for mentioning this!</p> <p>Claire, you clearly are onto something. Wait and see;)</p> <p>Mona and Ceit, thank you very much! </p> <p>Glory, I think this particular dress is suitable for almost any lifestyle as it can be dressed up and down a lot (I can even wear it as loungewear), but of course, you know this best for yourself. It is always nice to know what works or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842087 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:13:58 +0000 Glory 842087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked it so much I had the black wrap in my cart before I realized / remembered that my life style doesn't really work with dresses. You look really fantastic and I love the red coat. The fit of the dress is especially nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842050 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:32:42 +0000 Anonymous 842050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the looks you are coming up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842005 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:34:00 +0000 Mona 842005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sophisticated and so Ingunn! Your red coat is so fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-842003 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:29:43 +0000 Anonymous 842003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's missing anything. I love that coat and scarf! Wow. That's a happy jolt of color. I'm amazed with how different (and fab) you're making this dress look every day.</p> <p>Just brainstorming here (since you have 3 days to go). Is there a way to wrap the ties all the way around the waist and then conceal them under a wide belt for a different look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-841992 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:07:42 +0000 pil 841992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I can think of is how wrong I was to prefer the camel coat on you. This red is terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-841990 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:06:03 +0000 Raisin 841990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, I don't find it's missing anything. But then again, I prefer simpler most of the time. I love that you're wearing this dress for 7 days. It's such a great dress, I wish I had something similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/same-black-wrap-dress-for-7-days-day-4#post-841987 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:04:02 +0000 Ingunn 841987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a cross post from Shannon's dress challenge thread, sorry if it is overloading the forum. </p> <p>Today's outfit with my black wrap dress is layered with a turtleneck in burgundy. I've paired this with brown booties and wool tights to avoid a too stark and dark impression. I've also kept my specs on to pick up a little of the brown. A small detail is the tiny brooch inherited from my Grandma and a gold watch. Red coat, polka dot scarf, brown hand warmers and brown messenger bag. I've worn this for meetings and office today, and it is very comfortable. I do feel that something is missing, though. Do you think it works?</p> <p>Happiness factor: Middle to high.<br /> Thanks for looking! Any comments and suggestions are always welcome. </p>
