What about a cropped jean jacket, maybe in white, or is that too casual for your workplace? Also, a cropped cardigan would be good.</p> <p>Re Angie's point, that's why I don't own that many sleeveless dresses - 75% of the time I need to wear them with a topper and it often ruins the lines/integrity of the dress. Depends on your weather, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167785 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:48:21 +0000 Angie 1167785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks gorgeous. Do you have to top it with a topper? It's perfect just as it is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167750 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:06:00 +0000 christy 1167750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress!&nbsp;I agree that the length of the topper needs to be shorter than the cardigan you have on here. Love the idea of a white denim jacket or white moto-style jacket, though not sure how work-appropriate that would be. I'd throw on a leather jacket with this as well. Have you tried Shiny's suggestion of layering a collared, long-sleeved top underneath it?&nbsp;</p> <p>And shiny, you are KILLING me with that Michael Kors jacket. That might need to find a home in my closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167731 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:28:59 +0000 VenusCow 1167731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Neel and a few of the others have said I think the key to styling this dress is to keep whatever you put over either to the waist so you can see the floaty skirt or the same length as the dress for a more structured formal look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167721 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:10:03 +0000 shiny 1167721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you just need a topper that is shorter, hits at waist or even cropped. Cardigan would work; it could also be a pullover style, as long as it is "skirt length."&nbsp;You can also do a jean jacket or leather jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not crazy about pic 3 - it does look a little too clubby for work.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about these:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tracy-reese-beaded-neck-print-cardigan/3693205?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=139&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tr.....earch-pers</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/frenchi-pointelle-knit-crop-cardigan-juniors/3565282?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=CREAM+EGRET&amp;resultback=367&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_B">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/fr.....ywordsearc</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-michael-kors-print-front-zip-jacket-regular-petite/3593704?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=60135750&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=640&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....3704?origi</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anntaylor.com/tipped-sweater-jacket/319560?colorExplode=false&amp;skuId=14883934&amp;catid=cata000017&amp;productPageType=fullPriceProducts&amp;defaultColor=9192">http://www.anntaylor.com/tippe.....tid=cata00</a></p> <p>You can also wear something underneath - silk collared blouse, turtleneck -- for arm coverage/warmth, then just skip the topper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167646 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:45:39 +0000 Neel 1167646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man! My head's a bit wobbly today with all the cold and flu. Lol!</p> <p>That white jacket does look good ..... And if you find a mint topper cardi or light weight jacket it might be worth a try.

They are hard to find. I know I struggled last year with two fab full skirted dresses I bought before thinking about the topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167642 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:41:45 +0000 Emily 1167642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, wearing it now isn't a problem. &nbsp;It's -18 outside, so I'd throw on tights and a cardi and boots and go.&nbsp; I just want to make sure if I keep the dress I can find a way to wear it when it is finally warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167641 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:40:28 +0000 Neel 1167641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both sound good. May be you should try one of those and head out or wait until you find the right toppers and then rock it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167636 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:36:41 +0000 Emily 1167636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one shorter black blazer and my printed cardigan (below) which I'm not sure goes. &nbsp;Other than that, my toppers are all rather long and wintery, I'm afraid. &nbsp;Spring/summer toppers are on my shopping list.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167632 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:30:59 +0000 Neel 1167632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress by itself looks lovely on you. But the cardigan doesn't seem to work with this dress. The jacket now ... Is another story I like the back detail. And it could work well with your dress unbuttoned.</p> <p>Do you have a more structured jacket instead of a cardi? White/black/silver/grey/mint? Or may be a shorter cardi? That could be worn without belting? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-topper-ideas-for-cobalt-godet-dress#post-1167629 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:22:37 +0000 Emily 1167629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sooooooooooo tempted to clip the tags and wear my new dress out to lunch today! &nbsp;The only thing holding me back is that I am not sure what to match it with for work in warmer weather. &nbsp;I tried it with a short sleeved cardigan, but it is not my favourite look. &nbsp;I think the cardigan is too long and floppy, maybe?</p> <p>Any ideas? </p> <p>I was thinking a shorter white jacket, and&nbsp;I sort of love the zippered and cutout blazer in #3 but worry that it is too juniors/clubby. &nbsp;(<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.simons.ca/simons/product/8585-10021/Jackets/Chevron+zip-back+blazer?/en/&amp;catId=6684&amp;colourId=11">http://www.simons.ca/simons/pr.....#038;colou</a>) &nbsp;It looks terrible (read in french canadian accent - TerrEEbluh) buttoned in front in the pictures, but better open. </p>
