I'm not a fan of the jacket, there's a lot of detail going on and it may compete with outfits unless they are very streamlined. Most of these dresses would compete with the jacket. (for example) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too/page/2#post-310216 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:38:48 +0000 Queen Mum 310216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you bought it all, because it is all amazing.</p> <p>okay, just read your commentary... I'm trying to decide which I like best and honestly, I love them both on you. Sorry, I"m no help at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310215 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:36:28 +0000 Janet 310215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Claudia and Mo. My eye is becoming more critical, and I'm trying not to indulge the impulse buy so readily (um, despite the dress haul from yesterday), so I appreciate the honest feedback from all of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310214 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:34:02 +0000 Janet 310214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teri, I know what you mean! </p> <p>It seems like I have two kinds of shopping experiences: one day, I will try on a bunch of stuff and everything looks awful on me. Another day, I'll hit the jackpot and find most things look good. I suppose it balances out, huh? Obviously, yesterday was the latter type of day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310211 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:31:32 +0000 Mo 310211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps the gold hardware threw me as well (another silver person over here). I just know it didn't wow me upon first sight. I'm the same way with more expensive items - it must be love, not like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310210 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:30:20 +0000 teri 310210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE all the dresses. I'd have a hard time choosing just a few. I'd NEED them all...lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310208 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:28:00 +0000 Claudia 310208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I think you can do a lot better on the jacket, especially if it's pricey. What I don't like is that to my eye it looks way too fussy, and bulky on slender you. I think the back ruffles just look odd, too. Just my humble opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310207 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:27:31 +0000 Janet 310207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Claudia, you posted just as I said I hadn't heard anything negative about the jacket. I'm not totally sold on it either, for reasons I'm finding difficult to pinpoint. For the price, I feel like I should love it more. Maybe it's the color, which is not my absolute best even though it's a neutral. I also wonder if it's just a bit too overdone on the detail on me, if it's just slightly on the fussy side? Or the gold hardware, when I'm really more of a silver person. </p> <p>It's not like I lack for spring jackets, but most of them are leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310205 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:25:14 +0000 Mo 310205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you got 5 and 9, and on sale, too! Those colors are just great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310204 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:22:20 +0000 Janet 310204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are NOT helping my bank account. But it is great seeing these responses. Thank you!</p> <p>Lyn, you may quote me! Renee, both polka dot dresses are Ralph Lauren. The b&amp;w polka dot one is also available in purple. </p> <p>I have the jacket on hold, along with the pants I'm wearing in that picture, but I think I'm going to pass on the pants. I love how lightweight and comfortable they are, and they fit well. But, 1) they're linen, which I always find problematic, 2) they're barely PPL with my lowest heel boots so they can't be worn with any kind of heel, and 3) I think I will be losing a few pounds as I pursue this marathon training. Dresses seem to fare better during weight loss than pants do, so I'm thinking I should hold off on buying any new pants for a couple of months.</p> <p>So I should get the jacket? I haven't heard a lukewarm response on it yet. It's expensive, I'm wondering if the style will live a few years.</p> <p>I bought 5 &amp; 9 at very good sale prices. I will get a lot of wear out of casual dresses for spring and summer. Last summer I really started embracing the dress, as I don't love shorts on me, and our summers are hot and muggy, so I rarely wear jeans.</p> <p>I bought 7, and at full price, but I love it so I thought I should just go for it. It's classic, so I figured full price is worth it. I tend to wait for sale prices for trendier items. </p> <p>I left 6 &amp; 8 on hold. I was having a hard time justifying two polka dot dresses, but I may have to go back and get 6, because it's a very diffent vibe from the black and white one and fills a different wardrobe hole. This one can go more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310199 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:13:30 +0000 Claudia 310199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#7, the polka dot dress is the best of the bunch. Looks great on you and you can dress it up or down. I hope you bought it!</p> <p>ETA: odd man out here, but I don't like the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310197 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:05:44 +0000 Stephanie 310197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket and the polka-dot dress are, as my students say, full of win.

I especially love 8 because it is not a colorway or silhouette you see everywhere else. I can imagine you front row at a Lily Allen concert in that one. Can't wait to see what you bought!

It looks more polished &amp; confident than #6.</p> <p>I don't like the shape of # 9 but #5 is great. Not sure what I think about #8 so will leave it alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310094 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:01:39 +0000 Heather 310094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I think you look incredible in that jacket!

I also have to say how happy I was to find dresses that came just to my knee or just below! One of my pet peeves in the last few years is that all the cute dresses seemed to be cut to mid-thigh, and I just don't have the gams for that (although maybe after all this running I'm doing that will change!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310071 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:34:53 +0000 Mo 310071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as the dresses go, I love #9 on you. #5 is a fab summer frock, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310066 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:31:30 +0000 Anonymous 310066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! My favorites on you are #7 and #9. You have a nice little figure and beautiful hair color. I like the jacket but didn't expect the ruffles on the back. It looks great with the olive pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-dresses-with-pics-oh-and-a-jacket-too#post-310065 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:31:04 +0000 taylor 310065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RED pumps with the polka dot dress is the best idea!!! FAB!! </p>
