I actually really like this IK. I am not going to try to talk you out of this because I think you should at least try it. This is something I would HAVE to try on if I saw it in a store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-675074 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 03:25:22 +0000 rae 675074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wide neckline and cap sleeves would really emphasize IT leanings. It seems loose enough that it might also be hard to layer nicely, too, and I know you always need a topper in the arctic office. </p> <p>And also - you're supposed to be shopping your closet! Go peek in there and count your dresses, young lady. *attempts a stern face* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-675045 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 02:48:51 +0000 ironkurtin 675045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shopping - then you send it back, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-675030 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 02:18:14 +0000 shoppingisfun 675030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the model, it looks like a baggy brown paper sack. It might look much better on you...but what if it doesn't?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674994 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 01:00:37 +0000 Anonymous 674994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ha ha, I was just kidding! </p> <p>There is an app called "Freedom" that's billed as internet blocking productivity software. It locks you away from the Internet for a specified period of time (you choose) so you can get work done.</p> <p>Maybe somebody more tech savvy than me knows if it's possible to block just a website? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674975 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 00:13:55 +0000 Kate 674975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Truthfully, IK, when it comes to architectural dresses, I've seen far better. Save your money and keep SYC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674964 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 00:05:45 +0000 ironkurtin 674964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alicat - you can do that? Tell me more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674901 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 21:58:32 +0000 CocoLion 674901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My reason has nothing to do with SYC.</p> <p>I'm not crazy about the left side. From both front and back pics, it poofs unevenly compared to the right side. That would bug me, making me look like I have one big left hip and a smaller right hip. I'm all for strong architectural designs but my body is already asymmetrical, this makes it even more so. Unless that is precisely the look you are going for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674898 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 21:50:53 +0000 Anonymous 674898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ik, you may need to block yoox on your computer if you're serious about SYC.</p> <p>That dress does look like you, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674733 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 17:55:12 +0000 RunningSue 674733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My answer? If you are asking, you know you should not get it. Let's go out for a glass of wine instead!</p> <p>(Or maybe a coffee).</p> <p>There are so many cute things on the internet at such great prices I find it hard to resist myself. I have started to skip buying many things and realize that the next day or so I do not even remember what it was I was looking at or what website it was on.</p> <p>HTH. Stay strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674731 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 17:54:10 +0000 JR 674731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you wait, you might get a better price...</p> <p>(How am I doing?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674716 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 17:46:27 +0000 DonnaF 674716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK: How does cocoa brown look on you? Does it flatter? I imagine you with a different, richer, darker brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674714 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 17:44:56 +0000 Angie 674714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it in the darker colour!

I must be shopping for the wrong nightgowns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674669 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 17:05:00 +0000 qpswan 674669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>**Harsh alert</p> <p>1. It looks like a nightgown. Would you pay full price for it? </p> <p>2. You decided to SYC for a reason. Has this reason changed?</p> <p>3. You will be so proud of yourself if you resist temptation.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674594 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:56:08 +0000 Ginkgo 674594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it! This stands out from your body so would be cool to wear in your hot weather, and the brown would be a flattering color on you -- I like this color on you more than the black and charcoal you usually wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674579 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:42:40 +0000 ironkurtin 674579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm... I like subtle pleats. Noted however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674578 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:41:38 +0000 annagybe 674578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's half-a**ed poofy. The pleats or gathers seem like a after thought. They should be bigger and bolder, more poofy, or not there at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674574 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:39:54 +0000 ironkurtin 674574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mani...People still wear slips...? I wear a fair amount of khaki and light gray...</p> <p>AG, I LOVE the back. What don't you like about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674560 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:29:20 +0000 annagybe 674560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674555 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:22:11 +0000 ManidipaM 674555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Mo said.</p> <p>It's unlined too, which is not a problem easily addressed by a cami when it is a dress, rather than a top. Do you already own a slip that'll work with this? If not, is is worth the bother?</p> <p>Also, never seen you in any of these colours. Perhaps there's a reason why they're not in your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674554 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:16:13 +0000 Mo 674554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How often do you wear dresses? How many do you have? If you wear them once a week and have a dozen or more, you likely don't need it. But if you only have like 6 and wear one every week, go for it!<br /> This gets back to the reality of "how often will I wear it and where will I wear it?" Instead of "ooh, I like that, it's cool!" Not nearly as fun, I know, but you asked us to keep you in line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674553 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:15:07 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 674553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would this dress add to your wardrobe that you don't already have? Tempting as it is, will it really make you happy, or will it just add to the guilt over having too big a closet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674550 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:07:46 +0000 Liz 674550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You shouldn't get it because you, if anything, are not a sheep. And “not a sheep” means being able to withstand whims, take stands, and do the tough thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-out-of-this-1-really-cool-dress#post-674548 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:05:48 +0000 merwoman 674548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>***Enabler Alert****</p> <p>Get it.
