I think if you belt it and wear with skinnies/leggings/jeggings/ponte knit pants it would also make a great tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466421 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:14:39 +0000 Queen Mum 466421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it.<br /> But, I remember being really surprised by a comment you made in a recent post about an outfit being too casual for casual Friday. I'm not sure how this dress, paired with tights and boots is any dressier than that other outfit. i need to go take a peek at that one again. I may be remembering incorrectly.....</p> <p>.... okay just checked your other post and I see that it was the sandals that were making you second guess that outfit (which I loved from head to toe, btw) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466416 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:00:38 +0000 HelenInCanada 466416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on how conservative/traditional your workplace is! I'd say it's NOT too short for most places - but it's best to wear opaque tights as Claire mentioned. Maybe a blazer over it will also make it more modest, if the length concerns you...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466393 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 20:11:32 +0000 Jenava 466393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally wear this with tights and boots. Unless you work in law or finance I don't think it would be a problem...and even then, depends on the office.

I'm also in a fairly conservative industry. I would have zero hesitation wearing this out to dinner with my sweetie. And now I'm feeling a bit more confident that I can make this work appropriate (for me) by adding opaque tights, so I think it's a keeper! </p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466143 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:57:40 +0000 Scarlet 466143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I am missing something--it doesn't look short at all. It's just above the knee, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466099 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 05:58:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 466099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress and it looks really nice on you. Opaque tights would make it feel less short if you have a problem with the length. I think it looks good but you need to be comfortable in it or won't wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466073 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 04:38:43 +0000 Amy 466073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty dress! Whether or not it's work appropriate, I hope you'll keep it. You look lovely in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466047 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:52:37 +0000 Janet 466047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you, and I like Rita's idea of a topper like a vest. I think this could look great with cognac or caramel flat heeled boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466046 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:49:18 +0000 MNsara 466046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great dress, looks adorable on you, and is very flattering!</p> <p>If you also can see wearing it out to dinner, or on some personal time, then I'd definitely keep it. </p> <p>If your only use will be casual Fridays, then I'd still keep it ;-)</p> <p>What about wearing with leggings and booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466026 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:30:20 +0000 modgrl 466026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it by itself. I can see it with lots of things like a vest, jacket or gillet thingy on top. You could tie the pb up really high and wear a skinny belt or obi. I could also see it worn as a shirt tucked into a slim high waisted midi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466012 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:21:39 +0000 kellygirl 466012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you--super flattering and different from what I've seen you post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-466000 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:17:46 +0000 Anonymous 466000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think it would be appropriate with opaque tights or leggings. A flat (or low heeled) boot or shoe will make it look more modest, too, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465997 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:16:13 +0000 christy 465997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, I really like the dress! But it's very different from my typical style, especially for work, and I just need some validation that my instincts are right - that it looks good and can be work appropriate. I don't have many opportunities to do smart casual - I'm either really casual MOTG for a weekend or business formal/casual during the week. I bought a dress last spring where I loved the dress, but have struggled with making it work appropriate and it's been worn exactly once. I don't want to make that same mistake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465986 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:05:26 +0000 modgrl 465986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's bothering you about it? It is a super dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465983 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:02:18 +0000 Anonymous 465983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see it being a great tunic (maybe hemmed even a bit shorter) with skinnies and leggings for casual Fridays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465976 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 02:55:01 +0000 christy 465976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd feel comfortable wearing it to work with opaque tights on a casual Friday. Is it worth keeping? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465946 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 02:28:18 +0000 Jonesy 465946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about pairing it with opaque tights, and gauging how it *feels* to you (try sitting down in it too, to check that out). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465940 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 02:16:50 +0000 Deborah 465940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress. Agree with Sarah that it depends on how you feel in it. To my way of thinking though, I would wear this to work. Would your lovely Miz Mooz boots work with this?</p> <p>I like it without hose but would also be inclined to wear with opaque tights in the cooler months. </p> <p>Christy I wear dresses over pants quite a bit and I am wondering how this would look over your skinny leg pants and heels.... Just a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465894 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:52:50 +0000 sarah 465894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty! I think it's too short if *you* feel like it's too short, but not if you don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465887 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:26:56 +0000 modgrl 465887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super dress. It would be ok for my office but probably not all. How about adding really opaque black hose to make it look like you are wearing leggings underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465886 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:10:42 +0000 Mo 465886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's too short but I might try a lighter boot. Of course, I'm not the expert on business casual appropriate, being out of the office grind for 20 years now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-much-for-being-on-team-solid#post-465868 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:11:57 +0000 christy 465868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll notice that I'm still firmly in the camp of Team Neutrals however! </p> <p>So....thoughts about this dress? I've been looking for a long-sleeved dress and came across this one. I haven't really styled it here, just threw it on with a pair of boots because that's what immediately came to mind. The big question: is it too short to wear to work in a business casual setting? I'm thinking yes sans hose, but could I make it work with a pair of tights? </p>
