We were used to each other in work/hospital attire so our outfit matching came as quite a surprise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268539 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 14:45:51 +0000 Suz 2268539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrific outfit! It works well to my eye, and I like the black band as is. It's classic. So funny that you and your friend dressed so similarly. You must have burst out laughing at the sight of one another!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268536 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 14:38:23 +0000 merwoman 2268536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who knew matchy matchy applied to friends as well! And it was sooo good to reconnect, lunch lasted 3 hours and we were still yakking up a storm. Bliss.<br />Thank you <b>Angie, Jaime, Kelly, slimcat, Rachy, Bijou, BJ, Brooklyn, Fash</b> and <b>Robin</b> for your kind comments!<br /><b>Brooklyn</b>, You’ve got me curious and I’ll have to goggle it. Altho watching Trinny is always like disappearing down a rabbit hole for me… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268523 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 13:16:01 +0000 RobinF 2268523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I have been looking for a white shirt to use just like that. Tired of my white cardi. Too funny about you and your friend matching.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268522 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 13:11:03 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2268522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cool to be on the same wavelength with your longtime friend like that! I like both your outfits. I like the way you have your shirt knotted, because it gives you shape/shows your waist. The top &amp; bottom &amp; hat band all pick up on each other nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268517 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 12:41:27 +0000 Brooklyn 2268517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! I like the contrast on the hat. </p> <p>Trinny Woodall has a trick where she ties the shirt then kind of buttons the ends together. It ends up looking quite neat. It’s easier to do than to explain! (I’ve done it.) Anyhow, you might want to google it and give it a whirl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268501 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 10:33:17 +0000 BlueJay 2268501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun picture of you and your friend! Too funny about the similar outfits. (I , too, recently saw my best friend after 2.5 years. Sooo good to reconnect <u><i></i></u><i>in person</i><u><i></i></u>!)</p> <p>I agree with Angie that the black band matches your hair, but I like Carla's idea about pinning a scarf over top if you want to change up the look. The shirt over the dress looks great. Summery and covered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268496 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 09:36:55 +0000 Bijou 2268496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your friend look gorgeous - this is the perfect summer solution to staying cool and sun smart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268484 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 05:28:29 +0000 rachylou 2268484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a crack up. Y’all need two more and you can be a gang. That would be even more cool ;)</p> <p>The shirt and hat are smart in more ways than one (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268482 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 05:06:55 +0000 slim cat 2268482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy reunion &nbsp;:) !

KILLER fab! And you match your friend :)</p> <p>Totally works, and the dark band around the hat matches your hair = all good!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268468 Thu, 23 Jun 2022 23:16:00 +0000 merwoman 2268468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shirt suggestions <b>Carla</b> and <b>Zaeobi</b>! I’ll have to give this a whirl! And I like the scarf idea for the hat <b>Carla</b>!<br />I couldn’t believe my eyes <b>Nikki</b> when my friend arrived…we burst out laughing! Same but different! I agree that the black band on the hat seems to need some other black in my outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268465 Thu, 23 Jun 2022 21:37:26 +0000 Anonymous 2268465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun! Gorgeous dress! Very cool you two were twins. I like the shirt. Maybe add some black to the outfit with accessories like jewelry or bag. Awesome hat Hope you had a marvelous time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268463 Thu, 23 Jun 2022 21:28:05 +0000 Zaeobi 2268463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look happy &amp; relaxed - your friend too! </p> <p>Building on @runcarla's suggestion, could you perhaps knot the shirt *behind* you instead (to create a sort of 'faux bolero')? Not sure if that would look weird though, since I've never tried it myself... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268461 Thu, 23 Jun 2022 21:24:28 +0000 Carla 2268461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise of you to cover up today! &nbsp;I think the shirt works, but it’s a shame to cover the dress and loose the ‘column’ IYKWIM. &nbsp;I think the shirt worn open would be okay, or you could try making separate knots on the two front panels to give them some weight so they are less fly away. &nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>The black band on the hat is classic, but you can experiment with ribbons or scarves. &nbsp;The band on my straw hat is navy with red and white polka dots, but I sometimes cover it with a skinny scarf if I want it to coordinate with a specific colour in my outfit. &nbsp;It takes some fiddling and pinning, but can be done!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-dressing-1#post-2268454 Thu, 23 Jun 2022 20:47:51 +0000 merwoman 2268454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Met a friend for lunch today that I haven’t seen for 2.5 years. And no, we did not collude on our outfits!<br />Previously I’ve worn a jean jacket with this dress, but today temps are soaring so I went with an oversized shirt to ensure arm coverage from the sun, and a hat because…why not?&nbsp;<div>Does the shirt work? And do you think a white band around the hat would be better? Thanks for your thoughts!</div> </p>
