You look how I feel! I like the black one but will have to find old thread and remind myself about the red one to compare. Teal is your friend! milehighstyle (Linda) on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552413 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 00:41:38 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1552413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una - The black Free People tunic is gorgeous, and I hardly ever pick black over a color. It is so good. I am not seeing anything like that from Free People lately, but wish I did. Teal loves you, it's a great addition to your wardrobe. You look great in your cabin outfit, even tipping over!

I love the sweater! and you're outdoor outfit is great. Your hair is just amazing looking, it's like a statement accessory, beautiful. catgirl on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552232 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 17:26:50 +0000 catgirl 1552232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vix, my brother and I plan to sneak into any event we can! So the more we look the part the better.... I am wearing a solid black slip under this and think it may be too short without leggings. I do have a pair of silk harem pants that might work and still look edgy Indian.... Manny has also given me a couple of other suggestions. Since this red one is going back it is a moot point, but I haven't yet returned the other red one from my earlier post. Maybe I'll bring both and consult my mom and sister as well as see how the weather is! Vix on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552142 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 15:07:12 +0000 Vix 1552142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Una -- I like the black tunic but I looked at your other thread and know it's completely sheer. Even with a slip under it I worry about the event's pro flash photography showing more than you'd like -- esp if it's too warm for leggings! That said it's a cool piece -- though it reads a little more small "e" event than big-E; I liked the other 2 dresses more for the premiere. I've kind of lost track as to how many parties you're going to, though -- seems like you might need a real variety! donnat on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552141 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 15:05:39 +0000 donnat 1552141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am in agreement. The black is outstanding on you. What Cheryle said about the weather, I second. cloud9 on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552128 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 14:40:01 +0000 cloud9 1552128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, I like the black one here, but still prefer the red in the other thread. Maybe ask your sis which one she thinks is more Indian? You really look great in either one. cheryle (Dianthus) on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552098 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 13:42:35 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1552098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The black is outstanding on you.  Great length and neckline with lovely details.  I am really liking teal on you too and your in the wild outfit is fab. The weather is supposed to break this week and cool off a lot.  It seems the weather here and in TO is just a few days apart. Suz on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552097 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 13:37:55 +0000 Suz 1552097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Weather forecast for next Friday in TO is 21C and mostly sunny. It will cool down to about 16 at night. The air is still quite humid so it feels warmer than it is, particularly in the city.  However -- that's a big "maybe." It has been hot, hot, and stinking hot for the last week and forecasts right up until that day continue on the very hot theme. So if anything, I think Una might want to forego leggings. At least I would in that situation.  Angie on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552076 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 12:59:03 +0000 Angie 1552076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Suz said. I like the black beaded dress best here, but am not sure about whether it's better than the red tunic and leggings from the previous thread. How will you top off in case it gets cold?  Teal tunic is fab, and that's a killer cabin outfit.  Colette on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552072 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 12:53:45 +0000 Colette 1552072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The black dress looks fantastic on you, I prefer that one over the red. And cozy teal cashmere is a no brainer, keep.

Just loved the neckline on you so much!  Please keep the teal sweater, it is perfect on you! And I coduln't help but smile at how cute you looked in your off balance  pic.  : ) Ankita on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552039 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 10:01:25 +0000 Ankita 1552039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looking at them side by side I prefer the black over the red. The teal sweater looks great on you btw! ☺ Style Fan on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552034 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 09:14:04 +0000 Style Fan 1552034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I vote for the black tunic.  You look amazing in black.  Why not wear black if you can rock it?  I would.  Do you need leggings?  :) Love the teal cashmere sweater.  It is scorching hot here by the way.  But that can change by the weekend.  Astrid on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552028 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 08:04:31 +0000 Astrid 1552028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the black Free People tunic! Definitely like this best out of everything you showed. I agree with Eva that the neckline is very flattering on you. The teal pullover is a great color and looks very cozy, i vote keep.

Ps I like the sweater too. catgirl on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552014 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 05:56:09 +0000 catgirl 1552014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Manny, my sister has asked that we wear something Indian-ish. Not necessarily traditional but not a typical Western event dress. Does that change your opinion? Also, note that this tunic has a racetrack which is not very Indian... Thanks for your honesty! Lucy on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552009 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 05:20:49 +0000 Lucy 1552009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that black tunic on you! Gorgeous!  And so too the teal sweater. As Suz said, it looks super with your hair! Very striking.  Maneera on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1552003 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 04:46:17 +0000 Maneera 1552003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love 3&4. I think teal is GORGEOUS on you!!! Your cabin outfit is fantastic! I'm sorry but I'm not loving these tunics. They look like Indian wedding wear to me. Is your intention to wear something characteristically Indian? Or just dressy? If former - the black tunic would be perfect. It does look great on you. If you're trying sophisticated dressy, I much prefer the earlier red dress. Anonymous on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551990 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:51:53 +0000 Anonymous 1551990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just checked back on your earlier dress post and agree that the black is a clear winner. It looks amazing on you and perfect for a film festival premiere! Plus it checks your East-meets-West box perfectly. I'm very much liking you in teal, and second E's comment on the cabin outfit elements--nicely balanced, good colours for late summer, and nothing beats a vest for temperature regulation. Firecracker (Sharan) on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551984 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:39:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1551984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Black! I vote black. You look stunning in black, and I think this dress will be perfect for the event, suitably festive, and it feels a bit East-meets-West to go with the theme. The cashmere is gorgeous! Great shape of sweater and lovely color. I also like your cabin outfit. Yes, teal tones are looking very nice on you.  Brooklyn on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551974 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:12:42 +0000 Brooklyn 1551974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the black best too. The neckline is better. And the sparkles lift it a notch above the blue. E on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551972 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:02:35 +0000 E 1551972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh; are you trying to get away from black?

This neckline is more flattering and more comfortable for me. It's black, but I can live with that and it's probably more versatile. E on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551963 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:44:48 +0000 E 1551963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I love that black dress so much! Way more than the other dresses you posted, but of course you should opt for what you're most comfortable in. I'm just so fond of embellished clothing, hehe. (Also, I think the way the 'sleeves'-straps? not sure what the right term is-are cut on this dress is super flattering to your shoulders compared to the straighter cuts on the other two dresses, but that might be my personal broad shoulder hang ups coming out.) The new sweater is gorgeous & I'm sure you'll get use out of it with your long winters, so I vote keep. Love your in the wild cabin look too; that colour combo & the shapes are just so flattering on you. Peri on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551959 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:31:56 +0000 Peri 1551959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the black one and the red one from the other picture. I can't decide between these two, but you couldn't go wrong with either one! And the sweater is great! Jen W on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551957 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:29:37 +0000 Jen W 1551957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the way the beading in the black picks up the shimmer of silver in your hair.  And I really love the teal sweater!  Karie on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551956 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:28:13 +0000 Karie 1551956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the tunic in #1 much better than the one in #2. That cashmere sweater looks gorgeous and super comfy - now I think I have to go to our new Rack! I am such a lemming. #4 looks like the perfect cabin outfit. Suz on "The final dress contender, one Rack sweater and a WIW in the wild" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-final-dress-contender-one-rack-sweater-and-a-wiw-in-the-wild#post-1551954 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:27:16 +0000 Suz 1551954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the black Free People. As to whether it's a better choice than one of the two dresses, I don't know. How does it feel in comparison to you? What would make you happier to wear?  The teal sweater looks great and will be super useful. Do you think it is a new colour because of your hair? It does look super with grey.  Also, the "in the wild" outfit is fantastic.
