I think I'm going to wear my charms bracelet, even if it is rather unobtrusive. But I have some big bangles on my list now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463864 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 09:51:40 +0000 Astrid 463864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, rachylou! I'll keep an eye out today.</p> <p>Thanks, Claire! Alteration is really great, I'm so glad I discovered what is possible for very little money. And a second vote for a brooch! I don't own one and I won't buy one now, but I'll keep it in mind. I thought about getting one for some time.</p> <p>Thanks, Jonesy and Suz!</p> <p>Thanks, Deborah! I don't own any statement rings because I feel like they make my fingers look even more stumpy what with my short fingers and square hands. </p> <p>Thanks, Lyn!</p> <p>Thanks, Scarlet! I think I'm going to leave it as it is if I don't find something I love today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463845 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:33:27 +0000 Scarlet 463845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really cute--the purple is a great choice with you hair and looks cute with the red shoes. It sounds like your planned outfit will be great too. I don't think this dress requires anything extra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463844 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:31:53 +0000 lyn* 463844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'll have to travel to Germany now!</p> <p>Thanks! I'm sure you'll get a ton of wear out of this dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463837 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 05:55:38 +0000 Deborah 463837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely worth the effort with the alterations as the dress just looks fab on you Astrid. Another vote for chunky bracelets. Do you wear statement rings at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463587 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 01:50:41 +0000 Suz 463587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY for a successful alteration! So glad you can wear it now. I think you have already got excellent styling advice, so I will just say Happy Birthday to your grandfather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463542 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 01:08:23 +0000 Jonesy 463542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just perfect on you! I don't have any other accessorizing ideas--have fun with your family! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463533 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:59:36 +0000 Anonymous 463533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress fits you like a glove! This is a testimony to having things altered. I love the grey tights and the tissue turtleneck with it. I have a houndstooth dress with a similar collar and just recently I pinned a brooch to the side of the collar and I really liked the way it looked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463510 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 00:28:16 +0000 rachylou 463510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! </p> <p>I think a single bangle or a pendant necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463488 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:37:17 +0000 Astrid 463488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lyn! I hope I find some nice ones that will look good with the dress. I also like the pendant idea. The dress is from s.Oliver (<a href="http://www.soliver.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.soliver.com</a>), a German brand. Not helpful, I know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463474 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:26:56 +0000 lyn* 463474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG - I love that dress! I also vote for the bracelets ... although you could use a large simple pendant which hangs down instead too :)</p> <p>Could I ask where you got the dress from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463445 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:37:22 +0000 Queen Mum 463445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks great. I also cast my vote for chunky bracelets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463439 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:30:37 +0000 kellygirl 463439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to enable or anything but I think they would totally go with your style! I think it would add a nice edge to some of your more classic outfits--and with jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463423 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:07:46 +0000 Astrid 463423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I like the idea of some large bracelets! Not sure I have something that fits, but I can look in one of these costume jewelry stores tomorrow in my spare time.</p> <p>Amy, I rarely wear large earrings because they always get in the way of my hair and specs. I have some big silver hoops that I haven't worn in some time and that was it. And I can't buy them cheap like the bracelets because I can't wear costume jewelry earrings without having an allergic reaction. But I will look for some bracelets!</p> <p>Thanks, Ornella! I just wore the tights in the pic because I was too lazy to change, but I definitely think the textured hose will look great with it. I don't have any brooch, but I want to have one! Maybe for christmas. Do you have a specific style in mind? I tried the necklace you mentioned and I liked it better without it. My grandpa's birthday was actually yesterday, but we celebrate on the weekend so that all the working people (and me) can come too. He's 80 years old now! My grandmas are 82 and 79 years old, my other grandpa died almost exactly three years ago. It's nice that I still got to know them so well! </p> <p>Thanks, Kelly! I also like the idea of the necklace, I have a long one with black beads that would look well I think. How do you know I think about getting a pair of Docs? I'm still not sure though, because here they are mostly worn with this grungy look that I don't like and I don't know if they would work with my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463419 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:00:19 +0000 kellygirl 463419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection! Gosh, I love this dress on you. What about a long necklace--that's what I would try. This is the perfect outfit for a pair of Docs too--I guess I've got Docs on the brain these days : ) You look so adorable in this--have a great time with Grandpa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463412 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:48:49 +0000 Ornella 463412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, the dress is gorgeous!</p> <p>I think the styling idea with textured hose is great. </p> <p>Since you don't wear earrings, the bracelets are fine.</p> <p>Do you have any brooch? I'm not sure if it would compete with the collar, but I'm mentioning it as an idea.</p> <p>Or, how about trying that necklace I thought was white, I think you wore it over another turtleneck?</p> <p>Happy birthday to Grandpa. How precious it must be to have his generation still around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463399 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:33:12 +0000 amyreh 463399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of this with boots! I agree with Lisa on the bracelet and would add some big earrings as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463396 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:26:43 +0000 Lisa 463396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the simplicity of the printed dress with the turtleneck. If you really want accessories I'd add some large bracelets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-finally-altered-dress-with-a-new-underlayer#post-463385 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 21:17:59 +0000 Astrid 463385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going home on the weekend to celebrate my grandfather's birthday on Saturday. I wanted to wear my new dress (I finally had it altered just right), but with an underlayer other than black. So I went to look for a "tissue" layer in a nice color for under the dress. Let me just say, it wasn't easy! After many stores I went home with this inexpensive purple turtleneck. </p> <p>I plan to wear the dress and shirt with my boots and black textured hose. Because I have to pack finished outfits for the weekend, I thought I would ask for styling ideas. How would you accessorize? Any ideas? </p>
