That would be a neat way to mix it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641966 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 16:06:44 +0000 bj1111 641966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wierdly, i think i would try it with your glitter loafers your mint shoes. crazy, i know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641942 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 15:41:46 +0000 annagybe 641942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given that it's DVF and I wouldn't be able to get an equivalent replacement without a lot of $$, I'll keep it for one more year. It should be appropriate for Turnadot in August. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641923 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 15:13:21 +0000 Jonesy 641923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with others that it's gorgeous on you. To me it seems quite on-trend, with the colors and shape, but if you aren't getting any wear out of it, then sure, pass it along and get some $$. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641882 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 14:21:50 +0000 Anonymous 641882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you but if you are not wearing it, there is no point in keeping it. Would you get a good portion of the retail price on consignment? It is not worth consigning if you are getting very little for it. I'd start thinking of letting it go if I can get 50% or more of the retail price back. If not, I would keep instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641868 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 13:46:43 +0000 ruthe 641868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everything Steph says. I clicked on the link showing you wearing the dress with gorgeous heels and there were many lovely comments. I think (as someone else mentioned) wearing leggings and flats with the dress would perhaps look good also. The dress is definitely a 'happy' dress! If you feel GOOD in a dress and truly own it, one could wear a burlap bag and ROCK it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641858 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 13:24:55 +0000 mrseccentric 641858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i vote keep! it looks stunning on you, and it fills a hole that's very nice to have filled.</p> <p>i also have a pretty narrowly defined style and stick to it very closely. But i do like to keep a few pieces around that are a bit unexpected to that style, but that look good and that i like.. i find it helps me to keep my style fresh and provides some variety which i crave at times.</p> <p>Also, i have a couple of kind of sneaky reasons. When you show up lookin' good in a style different than your usual, it tends to really surprise and impress people. "Wow!! you can wear ANYthing!!!" ha! no.</p> <p>plus, it keeps 'em guessing. heehee! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641687 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:44:08 +0000 Mo 641687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure. I mean it looks great! But you mention selling it to buy something else to fill the same hole? Maybe it would be easier to give this one another shot and see if you can find an Anna way to wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641664 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:22:47 +0000 Jenava 641664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! You make me sounds like such a slave driver, Anna...<br /> Are you going to be able to wear it with heels since your back is acting up? It's not so boho to my eyes in this photo, but the sleeves and neckline are not the usual Anna edgy and urban that I think you often go for.</p> <p>Can you layer some skinny pants under it and wear it with flats and a fedora? That might be cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641629 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:53:53 +0000 bj1111 641629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>keep for one more summer. then if you don't get enough wear or you outgrow them, then go ahead and consign. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641606 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:39:20 +0000 velvetychocolate 641606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this on you! If you're not wearing it that often though, then it might be worth the hassle to try and consign it, if it was a bit expensive to buy in the first place. </p> <p>Alternatively - have you ever worn this layered, in the fall/winter with skinny pants? I'm wondering if you might get more wear out of it this way (as a tunic type of thing), especially in the PNW area where a short-ish dress doesn't get many opportunities to be worn as often. What do you think of this idea?</p> <p>It doesn't really look all that 'boho' to me...more "mod" somehow. </p> <p>Could you wear it with something like GAP's Really Skinny pants and some fabulous boots or booties this coming fall and winter? </p> <p>If that's not your style - then yes, you should sell it. As a stand-alone dress, and with your particular climate/environment, I can see how something like this wouldn't get worn all that often. </p> <p>Once again though, this looks really good on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641593 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:31:17 +0000 Meredith1953 641593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is definitely a distinctive piece that would be difficult to replace. I think it looks great on you and would love to think you could find more occasions to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641568 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:04:37 +0000 Janet 641568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I love it on you. I don't think your recent style direction precludes this piece, but then I don't see it as terribly boho either -- there's something a bit mod about it.</p> <p>Do you think you are likely to continue wearing it? Maybe give it some time and see if you reach for it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641566 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 23:56:44 +0000 MsMary 641566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, it's one of my favorites on you. Would you get enough by selling it to buy a replacement? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641561 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 23:48:17 +0000 rae 641561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like it, but you are the one who matters. FWIW, it's not overly boho to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641520 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 23:04:28 +0000 nicoleb 641520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn. I think it looks great on you! But only you know if you're "over it" or not. Maybe if you had a replacement in mind you wouldn't be questioning selling it...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641515 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 23:02:05 +0000 goldenpig 641515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you, but if you're not wearing this much anymore, iis there something else you would love more and is more "you" that you could get with the money from selling this dress? I know you mentioned that budget is tighter maybe this would help give you some extra cash to get you something you've been craving! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641504 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:57:01 +0000 Kari 641504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you, but to me the crux of the matter is that you mentioned in the other thread that you hadn't worn it very much. What about in the last 10 months? Is it something you can see yourself wearing this summer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641500 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:54:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 641500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a stunning dress and looks great on you Anna but it sounds like maybe you're ready to move on? This could fill your desire to shop for something new if you were to sell this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641471 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:08:34 +0000 catgirl 641471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I LOVE it on you, but if you don't wear it you could use the money for other things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-this-dress#post-641464 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:52:44 +0000 annagybe 641464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When Jenava came over to help me do a closet purge she said my style has evolved beyond it. That it was too boho for me. I pleaded that I still liked it, but now I'm not so sure. If I do sell it I will need to replace because I do need a lighter more summery dressy dress.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-730-evening-edition" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ng-edition</a></p> <p>Yay - keep it<br /> Nay - consign it </p>
