I was thinking that the way the trousers taper at the knee and the waist definition make it work--I also thought you were supermodel height! The proportions are super flattering and the overall look so chic--I really love this on you : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper/page/2#post-474251 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:42:02 +0000 Sharon 474251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. The volume of the boot cuts gives a perfect balance to the outfit. Have you ever seen clothes by the Brisbane fashion group Dogstar? This reminds me of their lovely, avant guarde looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473996 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:47:08 +0000 Aunty 473996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah I love this on you, you look so tall and elegant!<br /> I know you are going in to warmer weather there, but I bet that dress would look great with opaque tights and knee length boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473959 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 06:38:16 +0000 Jenava 473959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks sophisticated. I like it. I wonder if the dress could be juuuust a touch shorter? But as-is is pretty super. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473955 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 06:25:26 +0000 anne 473955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5"1 I can't believe it!! You dress so well and are so attuned to your proportions. I would have thought you 3 inches taller than I am , not 3 less.</p> <p>I really like the outfit, but it would be worth trying the other combinations for some variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473945 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 05:39:34 +0000 AJ 473945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it better without the jacket. </p> <p>Well done! You've inspired me to give this a try! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473935 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 05:27:37 +0000 Deborah 473935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. A variety of options but all very appreciated.</p> <p>Julie, thanks, I do recall this is 'your look' and I appreciate your comments particularly about the length of the dress.</p> <p>And Angie, thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions. I will try out the leggings option and see how it looks.</p> <p>Inge, a Killer from a Killer lady.. thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473681 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:45:14 +0000 Inge 473681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, Deborah!!! This is just absolutely stunning. It's a gorgeous dress and I am all over the crispy dress + bootcuts silhouette you are creating here. KILLER!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473677 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:39:48 +0000 Angie 473677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, sorry Deborah. I didn't see your questions!</p> <p>I vote black leggings, and by all means try them cropped with ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473627 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:15:03 +0000 Gaye 473627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress, it suits you 'not past it use by date' . Looks great with the bootleg trousers, enjoy having a play with the leggings too, maybe with ballet shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473625 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 12:45:31 +0000 Julie 473625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent outfit, Deborah!! I am completely behind Angie and all the other positive opinion posters on this one. The dress over the boot cut jeans is super flattering, and edgy enough to look "stylin' "!!. Now, I know some are going to say I'm very biased about looks such as this because it's my signature look, but that's cool, too. </p> <p>As for the comments on too much volume, I would reply by saying the dress defines your waist nicely before flaring out in the skirt portion. Similarly, you are wearing a bootcut jean as opposed to a wide leg. I would agree with the too much volume camp, ( there are enough teams here, now) if the dress fell straight from the shoulders, and was worn over wide leg jeans. The only things I would try differently would be the hem length of the dress and your footwear. To show the thigh hugging jeans, I would wear a mid thigh hem dress, or there about, and a pair of sexy high heel boots, further lengthening the leg line. I would also suggest you try skinnies tucked into knee high boots. If that works for you, wonderful, but personally, I prefer the silhouette of the boot cut jeans.</p> <p>You've gotten some high praise from Angie on this one, but I think with a little tweaking, you'll get her "Killer" evaluation for sure.</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473614 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:48:43 +0000 rute 473614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!<br /> Perfect! A keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473603 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:25:15 +0000 Katiepea 473603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally love it! :-)</p> <p>And I second seeing the dress on its own as well. x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473569 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:35:23 +0000 Lantana 473569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This lovely print looks so good on you. I especially like the way its pale flowers echo the blond of your hair. I was surprised to learn your height as you look tall in this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473563 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:14:08 +0000 Freckles 473563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473528 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 03:13:00 +0000 sarah 473528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - this is unexpected, and oh-so-cool. You are one chic lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473512 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 02:45:26 +0000 Kari 473512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ordinarily I don't love dresses or tunics worn over boot cuts because it can be too much volume on volume; However, I like it here because the dress is cut close enough to your body and totally similar enough to your bootcuts that I think it works. Quite a pretty dress! But yes, leggings and skinniest would definitely work with the dress to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473490 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 02:00:23 +0000 Deborah 473490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angela &amp; bannamuffin I really appreciate your thoughts, will give it a whirl:)</p> <p>Christy, just for you, I am going to style the dress on its own and see how it looks. It it works I will post a photo (and maybe if it doesn't).</p> <p>Angie, thank you for popping back. Yes I did understand and I am so pleased you think this works because I really like it I was just considering the leggings as an alternate option.</p> <p>Suz, how lovely are you! I don't mind you asking at at all... I am a pipsqueak at 5ft 1&amp; a bit inches. Reviewing how the shoes look in the photo I agree they are probably not the best and a pointed toe would probably work better (shame I just got rid of a pair of shoes that probably would have been perfect)... oh well may be I will have to buy new ones lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473485 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:53:24 +0000 Suz 473485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I am beginning to think that you can do no wrong! Every outfit you post is beautiful, uber-chic, and/or extremely interesting. This really works, to my eye, and yet I scratch my head and wonder HOW. Do you mind my asking how tall you are? </p> <p>I also like the suggestions to try the dress alone or with leggings/skinnies and flats. </p> <p>I had a similar feeling to Jonesy's about the shoes...I think it has something to do with the shape of the cutouts (if that is what they are) and/or the toe, but I'm not completely sure. It is a minor thing, and may be a function of this being a still photo; IRL they may actually look wonderful with the trousers in motion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473480 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:45:43 +0000 Angie 473480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it was clear, but I like the combination of bootcut with this dress Deborah! The torso definition and low contrast between the top and the bottom make it work to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473475 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:31:39 +0000 christy 473475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm campaigning for a photo of the dress on its own! I know it's warm for you now, but with tights and boots it might be great for fall/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473468 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:13:30 +0000 Deborah 473468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Christy, I feel the dress might be a bit short on its own, however i am going to play around with it and see if I can wear it either with leggings or on its own </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473467 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:11:19 +0000 christy 473467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm surprising myself by liking the dress over the bootleg trousers, but I see what Jonesy is saying about the shoes. Maybe a pointier toe rather than rounded? I think it would be fun to see with leggings too. Just out of curiosity - why don't you like the dress on its own? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473455 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:40:11 +0000 banananutmuffin 473455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that leggings or tights would look nice under the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473447 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:15:55 +0000 Anonymous 473447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress, you should wear it more </p> <p>I think like the others, straight or skinnies under</p> <p>I like those trousers too, but maybe not underneath </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473445 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:06:58 +0000 Deborah 473445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Louise, afterims and Biscuitmum... I will try your suggestions:)</p> <p>Angie, ooh me a bit edgy:) I do quite like the silhouette of this outfit. I will try ankle length leggings, do you think brown leggings would be the way to go? There is a tiny bit of balck in the dress. I was wondering about cropped leggings also and a flat shoe??</p> <p>Jonesy, I am humbled to have given you even a tiny bit of inspiration. Hope to see the outfit. It may be the way I am standing, but the pants skim the floor, but I might see what other shoes would work. I don't own any booties... yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473436 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 23:42:16 +0000 Jonesy 473436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the dress over the flares! It looks fresh to me (seconding Angie's thoughts about it being edgy--dresses over looser pants were on the runways, and they are popping up on fashion blogs too). It's weird: for some reason I am not digging those particular shoes with the pants...not sure why...Are the pants maybe a teeny bit too short? Somehow I'm picturing some sleek booties with this look, but that's just my personal preference.</p> <p>Inspired by you, I am going to be wearing a silk tunic I have over my wide-legged black pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473427 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 23:31:14 +0000 Angie 473427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is something quite edgy about wearing this type of volume over volume - although you have some structure on top. You look fab in the dress, Deborah! Try it over ankle length leggings too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-outfita-keeper#post-473421 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 23:18:28 +0000 biscuitsmom 473421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to see it with dark tights...very pretty! </p>
