Perfect for layering. With tights and boots, these will be great for Fall and that could amp up the sophistication if it worries you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target/page/2#post-1338656 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:38:47 +0000 Suz 1338656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you, Traci -- and super versatile!

Yay!) right now. But I love a good discussion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338517 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 12:40:33 +0000 Traci 1338517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the tips, Tess. &nbsp;I will definitely try those out.</p> <p>Rachy, I can't believe you wore the striped dress today. &nbsp;I know we probably don't share weather, but it was so hot and muggy where I was that I could barely stand to wear it for the few minutes it took to try on. &nbsp;I'm stoked to be dress twins with you. &nbsp;You have such a fun style!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338514 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 12:29:10 +0000 viva 1338514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would love to see either one with tall boots and a jacket. They seem incredibly versatile and not too young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338503 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:53:03 +0000 Traci 1338503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate that we missed it, Jules. Maybe I'll start a thread about it to coax it out of you.</p> <p>I'm just not sure what the subtext to the comment is. It's especially odd because it's always tied to my kids. I was 23 when my oldest was born, so it's not like I was a kid. This isn't something I've dealt with my whole life. Only since about age 35. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338502 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:44:43 +0000 Jules 1338502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wrote a novel on looking younger than your age and how not everyone wants that! Luckily for you, I accidentally deleted ;)<br /> I think this dress looks great on you, not too young. If I were looking for a more mature look I'd probably choose the navy over the stripes, and I might not do, say, the striped dress and sneakers (although that could be fun for the right event!) But styled for the office - no problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338484 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 08:51:30 +0000 unfrumped 1338484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to go to Target right now!<br /> These are both great. The length does it. I find the slightly fit and flair dresses that are always too short are what skews girlish. I like tessitura's guidelines too, re: shorter hair styling often adding to the look, but these dresses don't actually require help.<br /> Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338449 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 04:46:52 +0000 fathenry 1338449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338428 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 03:48:43 +0000 Debbie 1338428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci you look great in these.

Sleeveless, more flared and 5 inches shorter would put them into "younger" territory for me, but these look great. I might have to make a trip to Target! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338232 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 00:05:12 +0000 rachylou 1338232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list of tips, Tess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338190 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 23:23:14 +0000 K. Period. 1338190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both look great! &nbsp;Fabulous find. &nbsp;I definitely don't think they look too young. &nbsp;Totally appropriate and flattering. &nbsp;You look fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338113 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:41:57 +0000 AJ 1338113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the 40+ crowd and I would wear that dress!<br /> If it was short and a racer back style, I would then think it was too young of a look.<br /> I like both the solid and the stripe. Enjoy your new dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338109 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:36:13 +0000 Glory 1338109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds - I think you terrific in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338089 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:14:58 +0000 Zibbets 1338089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic finds and totally age appropriate. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338062 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:46:59 +0000 Tessitura 1338062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple dresses similar to this, and I don't think these read too "young"... the length of the skirt really helps with that.&nbsp; If you need to add some gravitas, my rules of thumb are to consider adding any of the following:</p> <p>&gt; a very tailored shoe of any sort<br />&gt; a jacket or blazer, or even a ruana/cape<br />&gt; a scarf or wrap<br />&gt; pearls<br />&gt; a belt<br />&gt; an updo (hair)</p> <p>This is what I do with my wonderful, machine-washable Land's End dresses, for work... I use the dress as a base layer of sorts, and accessorize until I like the overall look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338040 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:28:09 +0000 kellygirl 1338040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I understand how that could make you self conscious. Honestly though, I don't think these are remotely age inappropriate. The sleeve coverage, the length, the neckline all read as appropriate. The dresses make me think of Boden (although I don't know why exactly.) They are fab. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338039 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:26:53 +0000 rachylou 1338039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'd better approve - I'm wearing the grey striped one today I worried as well about the flared skirt being girlish, but they're serious with a blazer or trench. They're good for work A/C - not too thin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338037 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:26:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1338037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific, Traci!&nbsp; I think the younger girls wear shorter skirts with more of a "skater" flare.&nbsp; this is definitely grown up!&nbsp; Ponte is such a good fabric, too.&nbsp; It's substantial enough to add structure, but still has lots of stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338033 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:20:49 +0000 Windchime 1338033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These dresses seem like wonderful choices for you! You could wear them with blazers or cardis when the temperature cools. They are utterly professional and look very comfortable at the same time--not always an easy combination to find. Since they came from Target, you probably didn't have to spend gobs of money for them. Plus, they look fantastic on you. Wear them to work and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338028 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:16:54 +0000 Traci 1338028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>I'm not sure, Kelly. Ive only become age conscious in the last couple of years. I've been hearing this weird, intended compliment, that I don't look old enough to have a 17 year old daughter. I know it's meant nice, but I also know I have the crows feet and grey hairs that make me solidly look my age. So, my mind has gone to wardrobe. I'm happy with my age and feel weird when people say I don't look it.</p> <p>Maybe it's also that my daughters wore this cut of dress when they were young. It feels girlish to me. In a way I love! But I worried it read young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeved-dresses-at-target#post-1338020 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:06:29 +0000 Angie 1338020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. I prefer the striped one actually. Totally age appropriate.&nbsp; </p>
