I just ordered those shoes :b hopefully they will fit -- I totally need light colored flat sandals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath/page/2#post-685366 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 04:58:30 +0000 MNsara 685366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE, love, love the sheath on you. And love the advice to wear it as is. I'd actually carry a denim jacket (because denim and orange are meant to go together) without ever actually wearing it (lame but a sort of security blanket!)</p> <p>I had different footwear in mindfor you, my dear. Something like these sandals:<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/delphine-demi-wedge-sandal-matt/vp/v=1/845524441936028.htm?fm=search-viewall-shopbysize" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/delphin.....shopbysize</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath/page/2#post-685356 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 04:46:43 +0000 cciele 685356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, Sveta, Christy, citygirldc -- thanks!</p> <p>Natalie -- actually I live on the peninsula.

I love the pattern and the fit on you, and I think it's funky enough that it will work very well with your style. What a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath/page/2#post-685114 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:38:34 +0000 citygirldc 685114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684765 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 06:37:52 +0000 CocoLion 684765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes when a piece calls to you it is meant to inspire you in a new style direction.

Maybe black and white oxfords. Or zebra print ballet flats. Or black cage heels. Or black velvet booties. Or black 4 inch platforms. Or black lace up knee high military style boots. Or black elegant knee high boots. </p> <p>So many options!</p> <p>LOVE LOVE LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684622 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:46:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 684622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm fanning myself while looking at you in this dress - absolutely STUNNING!

I think you should keep it, and worry about how to RATE it later....if ever. There are some occasions when a subtly sexy and perfectly fitting dress is the ONLY thing to wear. Now you are ready for those occasions. You look stunning in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684537 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:01:26 +0000 HelenInCanada 684537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! Really interesting pattern - and the fit is perfect!</p> <p>You could always pair it with a denim jacket or distressed boots or whatever strikes your fancy to RATE it up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684532 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 22:49:02 +0000 Anonymous 684532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR, RATE means "rough around the edges." </p> <p>Some YLF'ers like to look a bit RATE, as opposed to looking super crisp or polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684531 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 22:47:45 +0000 Anonymous 684531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing, I LOVE this!!! You look so great!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684482 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:12:09 +0000 JR 684482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the look on your face in the first photo pretty much says it all. This is a great dress.</p> <p>Okay, everybody, help me out here. What does RATE mean? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684479 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:07:19 +0000 Diana 684479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab! I especially love how the pattern keeps it from being too over the top bombshelly. </p> <p>I think it's great and very elegant on its own, or I think it would also look smashing edged up with a leather moto and some booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684475 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 21:03:25 +0000 Debbie 684475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to log in to tell you I love this on you! It is perfect in everyway. This is a statement piece add cute shoes and you are done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684470 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:56:38 +0000 merwoman 684470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It accentuates all your curves - but in a elegant way!

You'd have the Légion d'honneur by now for your services to fashion. Your unerring instinct for getting it 'spot-on' astounds me! Truly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684459 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:42:39 +0000 Jem 684459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that looks perfect on you! I'd say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684456 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:37:59 +0000 Victoria 684456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this dress is fab on you! I wouldn't put oxfords with it or loafers, I think sandals(high or low heel) and pumps would be ideal for this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stretching-my-style-the-retro-sheath#post-684454 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 20:34:44 +0000 rae 684454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bright color and unique striped pattern makes it edgy as it is. Wear with some tights and killer booties in the Fall/Winter, and slap on some heels for drinks!</p> <p>If I didn't have the orange B44, I'd be wheedling for a weekend trip to SF - not that I could do it, but I'd be wheedling! </p>
