It would solve the "to tuck or not to tuck" problem. lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-288352 Sat, 29 Jan 2011 00:46:58 +0000 catgirl 288352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress, but Sveta has pointed out one of my own shopping pitfalls, which is to be obsessed with a very specific type of item, buy a slew of them, and lose interest three months later. If you are totally on board, go for it! Otherwise, how about some similar styles in a blouse/skirt or cute summer pants combo? Three words: LINEN SAILOR PANTS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-288030 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:46:45 +0000 Sveta 288030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tricia, I will play a devil's advocate here. You rock those vintage dresses and this one is nice but don't you already have several dresses in this style? I found that when I like a style which suits me I begin to accumulate multiple items in this style. Then because they are so similar I become bored with them. This happened to me prior to YLF when all my dresses and skirts were fit and flare -and I became sick of them and felt like I have nothing to wear with the closet full! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-288017 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:25:15 +0000 Tricia 288017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I've been reading a lot of this blogger lately, and she wears a lot of these kind of dresses and I don't think she looks costume-y at all. (she is younger than me, though...)</p> <p><a href="http://the-paperdoll.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://the-paperdoll.blogspot.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-288012 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:07:36 +0000 LeahJanes 288012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha bobby sox! So cute.</p> <p>I think it's cute and floral and fresh. Some current sandals and a straw hat and you've got a very chic summer ensemble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-288008 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:57:47 +0000 Tricia 288008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You mean flat Mary Janes? I don't have any of those and if I did, I agree, not a good combo! The only thing worse would be to add bobby sox! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-287979 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:29:25 +0000 Isabel 287979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it too. I think the color is fantastic and I agree with Arya. I also think that you need to be careful if you wear any of these dresses with Mary Janes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-287965 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 15:53:26 +0000 Arya 287965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think it's lovely! I understand your concern about the potential for "too little-girl" with some vintage dresses, as they can be so very twee to the modern eye. I think this one would be great, though. Maybe it's the collar that matures it a bit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-dress-too-sweettoo-young#post-287960 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 15:47:05 +0000 Tricia 287960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking about bidding on this dress (like I need another vintage shirtwaist) but is it too little-girl? It's shown here with a crinoline and I wouldn't wear one. </p>
