It was perfect for my trip but I don't know when I will have another beachy trip. It probably isn't a London or UK dress or even NY. Perhaps the Hamptons but I don't go there. I just thought I needed it because it was just what I needed at the time. I like it better than the peach coloured one. I'm going to try to return the peach one.&nbsp;It is an LA designer, Clover Canyon but probably for the beach only.&nbsp;I could use the money for other things. I just don't know what to wear when it is hot though. I mean when it is&nbsp;too hot for pants. I like mod dresses but they feel too city &amp; slick for my lifestyle near home, unless I'm going out in Hollywood or Beverly Hills&nbsp;or NY.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-dress-cant-return-it#post-893008 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 01:41:37 +0000 Angie 893008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These dresses are for extremely casual settings in my mind, Elle. I'm not sure whether it will be a workhorse for you. I guess that depends on your lifestyle. You could wear this to work in with sandals I guess - or not? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-dress-cant-return-it#post-892937 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 00:47:18 +0000 ElleH 892937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have realized I'm leaning a little less boho lately but it hasn't been the weather for my boho clothes. I borrowed this dress from a friend in Australia while looking for some to buy. It was a workhorse on that trip. It is super light weight, non-creasing &amp; although it is maxi it has a split up the side which allows for some leg to be seen. I'm unsure because it doesn't look like anything I have pinned on my board <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/lovlealea/fashions-that-appeal-to-me/">http://pinterest.com/lovlealea.....eal-to-me/</a>&nbsp;of what I am drawn to, but I haven't seen anything like it on pinterest either. My style icons are Emmanuelle Alt, who is always in pants &amp; that is too hot sometimes &amp; Kate Moss, who wears cut offs when it is hot, which I don't want to do all the time, like not away from the beach or a local festival, and maybe not even there. So my icons don't wear what I want to wear when it is really hot.&nbsp;<br /><br />The first pics are of&nbsp;the one I want to buy that I wore in Australia.<br />The second pic is the one I did buy when I couldn't find this one. It is probably past the return date but is unworn with tags so I can try. I could keep both given what a workhorse the blue one was but I think the blue one is less resorty &amp; boho which I prefer. It would have been good to have both on my Australia trip as they would be fine for the&nbsp;beachy travel. I'm not planning any beachy travel soon. If I go anywhere in the Summer it will be the UK. I couldn't wear either to an outdoor&nbsp;wedding in the UK right? I mean I probably have something better for a wedding. I still have drapey but fitted dresses to show you all, that I bought in Australia, that are dressier, can be dressed down &amp; up &amp; are more city appropriate. I wouldn't want to throw them on all the time though like I did with the galaxy stained glass print one, too much dry-cleaning, which isn't easy traveling. I'm wondering if it would be as much of a workhorse when not traveling due to the print making it stand out so much that I wouldn't want to keep wearing it. I find plain colours stand out just as much unless they are dark, which I'm trying not to do in Summer.&nbsp;<br /><br />I guess I need to decide if it will be a workhorse when not traveling. When creasing &amp; weight isn't an issue. Or when traveling to places where I wouldnt wear it. Could I wear the blue one in NY? If you like it for me should I keep both or do the different prints create a different look? I prefer the blue one &amp; I was desperate to buy one of my own, knowing I had to give this one back. It's just that lately I'm trying to define my style &amp; to be honest I would have walked past it in a store. I don't buy prints. It is just that I had nothing to wear for hot weather &amp; my friend suggested I try it on. I thought that even though it is nothing like what I own it is perfect for beach travel.&nbsp;
