I have a hard time imagining my mom ever wearing this, since although she used to weigh more than she does, she's always had a more angular build and she's a couple inches shorter than me. It would have been nearly full length on her. (I inherited my, er, feminine attributes from my paternal grandmother, although she was short. I guess the tall genes and the curvy genes fused in me.)</p> <p>Celia, I did most of my sandal shopping for this summer ahead of time, in the winter, and I really liked being able to just pull stuff out and wear it when the weather warmed up, rather than having to go search for things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-lbd-aug-challenge-wk-2#post-1540829 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 02:25:45 +0000 Maneera 1540829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely dress. Just goes to show that a great LBD is truly timeless.....it's hard to believe it's passed on to you from your mom because it fits you beautifully and still looks like something one sees regularly at stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-lbd-aug-challenge-wk-2#post-1540825 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 02:19:00 +0000 carter 1540825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! The perfect all-purpose LBD. It could easily be a current JJill dress. Thanks, Mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-lbd-aug-challenge-wk-2#post-1540814 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 01:56:04 +0000 Anonymous 1540814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks wonderful on you. You could even shorten it a bit if you wanted. It looks classic and not at all dated. It will be easy to adapt to any style you want with accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-lbd-aug-challenge-wk-2#post-1540809 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 01:51:37 +0000 celia 1540809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress. A black dress is really a staple that doesn't go out of style.<br /> I am not a great connoisseur of jewelry so I will leave others to comment but they don't seem to overpower the outfit.<br /> I also feel that my summer shoes get a lot more wear than the other items, I was actually thinking if it wouldn't be a good idea to buy now sandals on sale for next year.<br /> Would you wear the tracking shoes with shorts , though ? That would make sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-lbd-aug-challenge-wk-2#post-1540803 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 01:37:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1540803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When i visited my parents in July, my mom and I spent some time going through her closet. She got rid of several things and this simple black knit dress was passed down to me. Given the tags and the shape I'm guessing it's from the late 80s or early 90s. I thought it was a good start on Angie's casual black dress for summer ensemble. (Funny thing, the necklaces looked a lot more visually dominant IRL - the photos make them seem less substantial but there are three of them.) Does this look OK to you guys?</p> <p>I've continued to track my outfits for the August challenge. I realized this week that tracking shoes together with clothing doesn't make that much sense, especially in summer - I only have so many summer shoes so I'm repeating them more often than any clothes. I continue to do more mixing and matching than exact repeats. Even with dresses, I like to change up my shoes or jewelry when I can. </p> </p>
