I'm feeling that bringing it home and posting here has been enough of an experiment to conclude that I'm returning it. This particular color is one I'm often drawn to but it's not such a great color on me and I need to remember that.&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248832 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 08:58:56 +0000 lozz_oz 2248832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Worth experimenting with this style, however I think another colour would look better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248809 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 05:26:58 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2248809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My baby sister lives in Chicago, and wears this sort of dress over leggings, but she usually wears colors, not neutrals.&nbsp; As I recall, hers came from Athleta, and possibly Lands End.</p> <p>My thought:&nbsp; for $15, you have a fun new fashion experiment, that is cozy and warm for the winter.&nbsp; &nbsp;If you're good with the 'experiment' POV, I vote keep and see how you like it, then try a dress in a color that you love!&nbsp; But if you'd rather spend that $15 on something else, then return it.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think the color is fine, but I also think there are colors and neutrals options out there that will really make you glow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248783 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 01:40:16 +0000 Jaime 2248783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good decision and very good point about Ebay asking prices vs. Ebay selling prices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248761 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 23:27:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2248761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is cute. I hear you on no scarf, and agree. I bet a red (whatever red you wear) mock T would work nicely with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248749 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 21:15:27 +0000 Chris987 2248749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>lisa p, bella, runcarla, Sisi, Star, Helena, Jenni NZ, Suz, rachylou,&nbsp; Angie, Janet,</b>&nbsp; for helping me clarify my feelings on this dress.</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, I was already thinking the red Athleta one might be good to try!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>RoseandJoan</b> - hah, good point about trying to sell on eBay but I don't believe that "everyone is asking this price" necessarily equates to "I'll easily be able to sell it for that price", especially when there are so many of them being offered :-)&nbsp; A simple return will be good enough for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248747 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 20:18:20 +0000 RoseandJoan 2248747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given how much these are going for on eBay you may make a profit of this sweater dress to put towards one that leaves you with no doubt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248744 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 20:10:43 +0000 Janet 2248744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not fond of that seam across the midsection, and I’m not sure about the color either.

As <b>Suz</b> noticed - not with black. With white.&nbsp;</p> <p>But better yet - choose another colour ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248739 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 19:42:40 +0000 rachylou 2248739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, well maybe I’ll yield to others on the colour, but I really like the style on you! It surprises me how much I like it. That bit of drop waist is flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248738 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 19:38:59 +0000 Suz 2248738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour could work, but only if you amped up the contrast on top. It's lovely with your hair, but I think -- if wearing dark on bottom -- you'd need something dark up top, like dark-framed specs -- to make it work. I like the colours of the other options better for you and really like the idea for at -home wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248736 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 19:18:33 +0000 Helena 2248736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!!!

Too bland. If you don’t mind that for an at-home dress, go for it. But then how much more comfy would you be compared with your usual at-home outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248725 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 18:16:13 +0000 Helena 2248725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm, i think i vote return as well ... i think the colour is letting you down and as Sisi says, there is a better version of this idea for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248723 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 18:03:13 +0000 Star (Lise) 2248723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return.&nbsp; Not a fan of mid-section horizontal seams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248720 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 17:05:03 +0000 Sisi 2248720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return.

Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248713 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 15:56:23 +0000 Anonymous 2248713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's cute, but I'm not fond of the colour for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweatshirt-dress---kr#post-2248707 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 15:20:17 +0000 Chris987 2248707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I recently found this sweatshirt&nbsp;dress at TJmaxx, and it came home with me. I’d like to find some new ideas for my winter at-home style (usually it's&nbsp;jeans/fleece top),&nbsp; and for $15 US&nbsp; I thought this would be a good experiment.&nbsp;</p> <p>The&nbsp;brand is 7 for all Mankind, which is new to me, and I suspect the quality is&nbsp;quite good. In case anyone else is interested … I see a lot of this exact item for sale on poshmark, ebay, etc mostly in an olive color. </p> <p><b>JFE?</b> Unsure. The fit seems ok, not sure how flattering it is. This is a small and there were no other sizes available at TJmaxx.&nbsp; I'm not sure I'd want to try a larger&nbsp;size because the shoulders would be too big, plus this item is only available at second hand sites for 3x as much as I paid .. so it's not quite the same inexpensive experiment&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Color?</b> I can't decide if I love&nbsp;this color (mushroom?) or if it washes me out. I would not want to try anything like a scarf in other colors – too fussy with the hood.</p> <p>Worn with fleece-lined leggings and sneakers.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a little shorter than I'd prefer for a dress but as a sort of tunic over leggings it's fine. The shoulders are roomy enough for an underlayer on top. I could imagine this worn with a pair&nbsp;of soft slouchy ankle boots with rubber soles, but i don't own any. (I don’t wear leather soled shoes at home because&nbsp;they slip on my wood floors.)&nbsp;</p> <p>What say you? Keep/Return? Styling suggestions?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!&nbsp; </p>
