Just that I know you’ve tended more jewel tones and richer colors than this sweatshirt is. I really like the concept of a dressier/more upscale sweatshirt for you. And you know, I do love a floral. I’m just unsure if this is the piece. I may look a bit at sweatshirt possibilities- just for fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful/page/2#post-1964197 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 21:26:04 +0000 Anonymous 1964197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Delurked </b>and <b>TexStyle</b> -- With my recent closet purges (pants and tops) I no longer have any florals in my wardrobe. &nbsp;I thought this sweatshirt would be perfect for me because of the coloring. &nbsp;I am actually starting to second guess that decision though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful/page/2#post-1964133 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 18:59:31 +0000 Cardiff girl 1964133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles you’ve just sent me off down memory lane.I too had a panne velvet dress that I wore to death when I was young.It was deep red and “too sexy”as well.sigh,thanks for reviving that memory forme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964117 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 18:38:52 +0000 texstyle 1964117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I would seek out something else in that color of the dress - something more "everyday wearable" I guess. I have often eyed dressy velvet tops but I have like zero opportunity to wear "dressy" so I just keep reminding myself of what's already in my closet that I haven't worn. Like delurked, I'm also a little surprised by the floral choice for you. Have you been adding more florals to your wardrobe?<br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964095 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 17:02:35 +0000 Freckles 1964095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are beautiful but it seems you know what is the right choice for you.<br />When I was young I had a panne velvet dress I wore to death.&nbsp; I remember trying it on to show my not yet husband then.&nbsp; He told me I couldn't wear it, it was awful.&nbsp; Why I asked.&nbsp; You look way way too sexy in it he replied.&nbsp; Well um dear, isn't that the point, totally covered even modest and going to your ex's wedding.&nbsp; LOL.<br />I ended up wearing it tons but that was a lifetime ago with different needs, I'd be tempted by the sweatshirt too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964091 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 16:49:07 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1964091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, I'm familiar with that contradiction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964068 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 15:15:03 +0000 Angie 1964068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooooo pretty.

I hope you are able to find something with a similar feel that is more tailored to your lifestyle — another item in a similar color, or maybe velvet separates that could be dressed down. </p> <p>I do love the sweatshirt, too! A floral sweatshirt was a wildcard purchase for me last year — it has been an absolute workhorse and is still going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964033 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 13:41:08 +0000 Style Fan 1964033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!&nbsp; I love the idea of YLF events on tour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964019 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 12:35:34 +0000 RobinF 1964019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous dress! I'm a big fan of velvet and the color is amazing!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964017 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 12:19:25 +0000 delurked 1964017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with passing on a dressy dress you won’t have use for. Maybe there is a way to incorporate what you do like from it. The gorgeous color, or perhaps the sheen, in a dressed down way that suits your needs. </p> <p>Do you like wearing floral prints much, as in the sweatshirt? I wouldn’t have thought that. I remember the velour ON blue top you had last year. Perhaps something in that vein that fits you for a little something this year. </p> <p>I am drawn to this skirt in a different color, and like the concept of the printed top, though not this exact print or puff sleeve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1964001 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 11:36:52 +0000 Bijou 1964001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That dress is beautiful. I have a velvet dress and I just wear it, mine is less formal than this Boden dress and so I even wear it to work. It has become a complete workhorse. I hope yours is similar.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963999 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 11:27:08 +0000 Staysfit 1963999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The velvet dress is gorgeous! I keep toying with the idea of a fuschia or turquoise velvet dress, similar in color to UmmLila’s stunning new jacket. I only have a few dressy events each season though, and my dressy capsule is well equipped except for a long dressy warm coat, which I may have found on sale. I’m waiting for the UPS package to arrive..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963995 Thu, 11 Oct 2018 11:08:55 +0000 Anonymous 1963995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Ladies. &nbsp;It is a gorgeous dress. &nbsp;The color is breathtaking and VELVET!! &nbsp;I literally can't think of one single occasion to wear that dress and the Holidays are literally just around the corner too. &nbsp;</p> <p>Fantasy, <b>Firecracker</b>. &nbsp;Pure fantasy for my current life style and needs. &nbsp;On the positive side, I love that color and can add it to my wardrobe using different pieces. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm glad you added the find, <b>UmmLila</b>.

I agree that you might need to invent an occasion to wear that gorgeous velvet dress. I like the sweatshirt, too. That can be your “change into after the festivities” attire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963870 Wed, 10 Oct 2018 23:36:25 +0000 bj1111 1963870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>any good to insist that you at least try on the velvet dress?&nbsp; just for a looksee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963867 Wed, 10 Oct 2018 23:22:46 +0000 Berkeley Girl 1963867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that velvet dress!

Hubs’ new job doesn’t have a fancy holiday party every year like the old one, so my need for occasion wear just plummeted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963861 Wed, 10 Oct 2018 23:05:58 +0000 Colette 1963861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful color.

I'm seeing lots of pretty, shiny velvet out there and wondering how to work it into my budget. Why not wear a pretty dress to casual events?&nbsp;</p> <p>Sweatshirt is super fun too. Lovely feminine pattern, will look great paired with denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963830 Wed, 10 Oct 2018 20:47:24 +0000 Christina F. 1963830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA. Yes, I totally don't need a velvet dress either, but I'd love to need it. The velvet skirt Boden has in the same color is something I'm actually considering but probably can't justify. I can do without it for the holidays. The sweatshirt is great too, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-beautiful#post-1963823 Wed, 10 Oct 2018 20:38:54 +0000 jussie 1963823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Plus, the holidays are supposed to be a time to dress up Also i have a similar one in pine green, love it, so im biased! </p>
