But if they aren't your thing, well then that's your thing Of the 3 you show, I like 1 and 2 best, the color and pattern on 3 doesn't seem to fit with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1462377 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 13:46:54 +0000 harmonica 1462377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Marley and anne. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1462281 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:16:17 +0000 anne 1462281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Marley,<br />My personal opinion is that wrap dresses are not the best look for rectangles (which is my secondary body type) When I think how fab you looked in this dress, there in no comparison!<br />(that made me want to go out and get a dress with that colouring :-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1462276 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:09:04 +0000 lyn67 1462276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would skip the first 2-wrap(and that kind of animal in a strap pattern) dresses are a bit out for me,&nbsp;esp those with collar, but&nbsp;&nbsp;I like nr 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1462246 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 06:45:33 +0000 Marley 1462246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you have clothes in your wardrobe that are much more flattering than these 3 dresses (both in style and in color.)&nbsp;&nbsp;The only one that I would consider keeping is #3 - because the cut is better on you than the other two - but I'm not crazy about the color on you and I&nbsp;<i>know </i> you've&nbsp;got much more flattering clothes than these ! &nbsp;I'd give these dresses&nbsp;a pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1462228 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 04:59:55 +0000 Anonymous 1462228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you reach for any of these and wear them, feeling fab? Or would you rather make room for new dresses? Sometimes I keep something that should be worn but I just don't love it, so it becomes an orphan. It may also depend on how much you wear dresses. If you wear one several times a week you can handle more in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461987 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:46:49 +0000 Astrid 1461987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3, I think if you pair it with some color it could be really fab! I'm not a big fan of the other two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461984 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:41:21 +0000 unfrumped 1461984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 is the best top/collar detail and the best amount of color contrast. For my "eye" it is too short for my sense of proportions for dresses, &nbsp;but I will leave that up to you. The length in 3 is better but the dress is more meh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461940 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 18:32:19 +0000 Sara L. 1461940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #3.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461934 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 18:22:42 +0000 cjh 1461934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 is a lovely shape on you, and looks like it could be good for work, afternoon wedding, summer funeral perhaps, church, retirement luncheon, shower, etc. Maybe the&nbsp;color is a bit pale for your newer choices? Perhaps a brighter jacket over it? or a colorful bead necklace, bag and/or&nbsp;shoes? Sorry about my take on the wrap dresses but to me they reflect what always makes me pass on that style&nbsp;for myself - too low cut at the neckline and too short, besides being rather body con. All three at once=no go here.</p> <p>All that being said, which one(s) do you like? Which one(s) make you feel like you look good, confident and ready for the occasion?</p> <p>The white with blue flowers sheath dress in your new spring group is so much more flattering and current, IMO.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461344 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 18:26:05 +0000 Keturah 1461344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try wrap dresses but I always feel too classic "ladies who lunch/Princess Kate" in them. I think pairing them with skinnies sounds smashing and will look great on you!! </p> <p>Okay, I like the lines and cut of 3....but my fave color on you is 2. (Agree the neckline is too deep and doesn't fkatter you like 3.) I like you in the richer color. Makes your skin and hair and eyes sparkle and pop! </p> <p>Hope your mouth is feeling better. love and hugs from me and Mille! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461314 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 17:07:44 +0000 rachylou 1461314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3, but the expression on your face in the pic... maybe not? I vote pass on the other two wrap dresses. I am with Deborah on the love/hate. I have one DVF wrap dress left that I'm keeping for no reason other than it's a DVF wrap dress. If I'm going to do this, I should probably bury it in the closet with the rest of my *suburban capsule.* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461177 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 04:48:25 +0000 rabbit 1461177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with AM about number #3. &nbsp; Paired with a higher contrast jacket (such as a bright white) and footwear I think it could be great. &nbsp;I really like&nbsp;the cut and pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461170 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 04:23:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1461170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that 3 is very flattering on you. I love the pleats at the shoulderline, the slight cap sleeve, and the high wrap that looks like a perfect fit. The fluid skirt is very pretty on you, too. It's so lovely on its own, I hope you get to wear it without a topper sometimes; I know it can be hard to find just the right conditions (temperature) for that, or it certainly can be for me. I also quite like&nbsp; #1 on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461098 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 01:04:38 +0000 AM 1461098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed with the skinnies. #3 is the best of the batch but I still prefer you in some colors with more depth. And higher contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461067 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 23:31:25 +0000 Anonymous 1461067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is to keep 3 and purge the other 2 unless wearing 1 over skinnys </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461043 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:59:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1461043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #3 for two reasons: &nbsp;it has a clean neckline without a collar and it is a bit longer and I am into knee length or longer now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461042 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:57:20 +0000 Staysfit 1461042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea to wear over skinny's!&nbsp; I love that idea.&nbsp; I agree Angie, the neckline in #2 is a bit deep for me.&nbsp; If I do wear it, I put a cami underneath, but that gets uncomfortable because it slides up!&nbsp; &nbsp; I think my new pink DVF wrap will look good over #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461034 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:32:06 +0000 Angie 1461034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in #3. WOW, Keep.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 I can take or leave - although wearing it over skinnies is a good idea. &nbsp;May I suggest passing on #2 though, because the neckline isn't as flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461024 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 20:56:49 +0000 Deborah 1461024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse the find...that was an accident:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461023 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 20:56:05 +0000 Deborah 1461023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a love / hate relationship with wrap dresses. On one hand they are a classic and timeless design but on the other hand I think I am just bored with them. I got rid of mine a while back. Have you considered wearing #1 and #2 over a very slim or skinny leg pant/jeans? Could give them new life? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-wrap-keep-or-purge#post-1461022 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 20:46:16 +0000 Staysfit 1461022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More Spring sorting through my dresses.&nbsp; I think dresses were the only item I didn't sort through when I did my closet clean out.&nbsp; I have some old wrap dresses that I still wear, and some that I don't wear very often.&nbsp; Here are three wraps, all animal print, that I'm unsure of.&nbsp; I can add a ballet sweater to these (I have them in pink and ivory) which IMO makes them look better, but I'm not sure these are worth keeping anyway.&nbsp; What do you think.&nbsp; Are these in keeping with what you have seen of my style? </p> <p>(By the way, the look on my face has more to do with the pain I am in due to oral surgery, than how I feel about the dresses! :-))</p>
