Very nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884595 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:51:38 +0000 unfrumped 1884595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy!<br /> Yes, would like to be dressier. Metallics ARE great with olive. The first shoes have s metallic sheen though it’s subtle. I actually have pewter loafers I am trying with the EF olive ( “rye”” is the color name) pants.<br /> Your metallic- olive outfits are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884500 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 03:56:12 +0000 Anonymous 1884500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your stylings of this dress, but my favorites are 2 and 3. I would look for another dress for the wedding, but it is great to have a backup plan. I found the style in Texas (Dallas) rather dressy and lots of bling. You could do metallic shoes and jewellery and bag. Metallics are great with olive.<br /> ETA: tease your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884460 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:50:38 +0000 jussie 1884460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Texas in June hehe no jumpsuit with jacket then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884459 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:49:28 +0000 unfrumped 1884459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jussie— the wedding is in June in Texas so it’ll be HOT outdoors and color inside!<br /> Ka Pedestrienne, thanks! I did the tights as part of layering for warmth. This is a lightweight dress hence mostly would wear as-is, along with sheer pantyhose, but was playing around with seasonal adaptations, to see if anything worked. ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884452 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:14:55 +0000 jussie 1884452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this dress on you, and think you’ve styled it well good work!<br /> As for the wedding- of your expecting cold weather maybe a dressy long-legged jumpsuit with some kind of bling y jacket over it? Just an idea... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884448 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 23:46:57 +0000 JAileen 1884448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my casual area, this dress would probably be dressy enough for a wedding. It wouldn’t hurt to look for another dress if you are uncertain, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884445 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 23:38:41 +0000 LaPed 1884445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is absolutely lovely! The sneaker look is really fun, and JFE to my eye, but #1 is my favourites. I think I'd like to see 5/6 with sheer tights rather than opaque.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884440 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 23:31:19 +0000 unfrumped 1884440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for input. I agree, the sneaker outfit is not ideal, and since I don’t really wear dresses as my go- to casual, I’ll probably forego this look. </p> <p>Wedding guest dress hunt is on for sure. I agree with Angie— never stop looking for dresses. I envy those who can pick up a dress on the fly! My dressy capsule skews toward black, dark lace, winter colors and metallics. I need a yummy summer dresss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884387 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 20:25:40 +0000 Suz 1884387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These stylings are all terrific and the dress is wonderful on you! I like it better with the more open shoes; if you shortened it an inch or so the proportions might work better with the sneakers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with those who say it is not dressy enough for a wedding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884378 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:47:18 +0000 Sara L. 1884378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks good the way you've styled it.&nbsp; I prefer it with the more open flats that show a bit of skin versus the sneakers.&nbsp; Personally I think the sneakers would look better with a shorter dress (above knees) but that's just my opinion. I also like the winter styling with the shirt layered under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884376 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:41:40 +0000 Cardiff girl 1884376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #3 do it for me.Its a lovely dress and I would think that you ll get a lot of wear out of it but I have to agree with Elizabeth ,it s a bit too utilitarian for a wedding in my book.Treat yourself to another dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884375 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:41:05 +0000 unfrumped 1884375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elizabeth P. ! # 2 is summer work outfit as shoes are comfy.<br /> Thanks for not letting me relax on the dress hunt. I could wear this to rehearsal dinner or something, but then I might rather wear a pants outfit- restaurants will be freezing. Which reminds me I need to work on a whole weekend trip capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884369 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:28:35 +0000 Elizabeth P 1884369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ways to wear this dress!&nbsp; I think #2 is my fav.</p> <p>My opinion is that a shirt dress is too casual for a wedding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-reiss-olive-dress-and-a-wedding-attire-question#post-1884366 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:19:27 +0000 unfrumped 1884366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking a stab at styling my Reiss olive "shirtdress" to be ready for when's its season is here. <br /> 1-with PG taupey-gold flats<br /> 2-with t-strap flat<br /> 3-with olive sneaker<br /> 4-with camel suede pump (for several hours-wear, not all day)<br /> 5-Attempt at "fall-ifying or  winterizing with burgundy turtleneck, ribbed tights and laceless oxford, and 6 -similar with burgundy  tights and  loafers</p> <p>Comments and suggestions welcome!</p> <p>Also, I have a family wedding in June in Texas. I have not targeted this dress for that because my hope is to wear something "brighter", like a happy fruity color and a little more dressy, but.....if such dress does not materialize, do you think this dress could be "wedding'd up", with the PG flats shown and maybe just the right dress clutch and other accessories? Jewelry is tough because the high neckline won't take a necklace, so would have to do bracelets or something. It's close family and I will be in at least some photos so I will be looking for something  more festive, but dresses with length and sleeves but for summer are SO hard. </p>
