Just saw the orange booties in your other thread! Try those!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr/page/2#post-686470 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 22:22:14 +0000 shiny 686470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh.. and as for your secondary rectangular shape: this is THE dress to EMBRACE the rectangular and ROCK it with confidence!! </p> <p>There is no shape that is better or worse. It's all in how you wear it. And the cool thing is when you have a shape that allows you to transform your shape in any which way you happen to feel like it for that day. Far as I'm concerned....</p> <p>*some days I'm inverted triangle, some days rectangle, some days hourglass.... and yes even some days I wear clothes to appear to be a pear, which is the exact opposite of my true shape... that's the miracle of fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-686469 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 22:21:13 +0000 MsMary 686469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and think the quilted booties would be fab. And am I imagining things or do you have some bright purple shoes or booties? I think that would be fab, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-686465 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 22:16:50 +0000 shiny 686465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I would totally wear this dress myself, cuz I love color block. </p> <p>I might take it in for alterations on the sleeves-- just shorten them up a tad so you aren't scrunching them to achieve elbow length? Overall, minor detail. Though if you do decide to do that, maybe have the tailor take it in just a smidgen -- not much -- at the waist? It's hard to say. I love how it falls right now, you have a suggestion of a waist. I guess I'd ask the tailor to experiment there. You still want it just gracing and suggesting, as it already does. </p> <p>I personally like the shoes with this -- goes with your hair. I would love to see some color pop brought in somewhere, jewelry or purse. If it were my dress (ooh and yesss... I want it! LOL)... I'd very likely add long pearls, and a cream clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-686436 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 21:27:11 +0000 Parsley 686436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!<br /> I wish there were more dresses out there with elbow-length sleeves.<br /> Very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-686408 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 20:45:52 +0000 Victoria 686408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this dress looks great on you!

Crew IMHO. Quilted booties, definitely. Maybe even your cobalt booties or burgundy docs from the other post, to continue the colorblocking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-685961 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:18:30 +0000 catgirl 685961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, different shoes are on the list. I can't do pointy toes due to my duck feet... Would the quilted booties work? Heeled oxfords? Or are the suggestions for sleek? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-685959 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:12:48 +0000 K. Period. 685959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, and totally agree with Anna's recommendation of a sleek bootie to knock this out of the park. I Iove the shape (but not the ridiculous heel height) of these, but I somehow have the impression that you aren't a pointy heel girl. </p> <p><a href="http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12952236&#038;cp=3075190.3075225.3075258" rel="nofollow">http://www.kennethcole.com/pro.....25.3075258</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-685958 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:05:41 +0000 Scarlet 685958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant and flattering. I agree with Anna that I would choose different shoes though. I thought you had some black ankle boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-685954 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:45:53 +0000 AJ 685954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MUST KEEP! I luv how it's not body con, yet gives you a nice shape. This type of dress reads feminine yet can easily fit into a UWP wardrobe. $5?! Lucky duck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-685942 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 04:18:12 +0000 Mo 685942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up!

The sheath has a surprising curve to it. Very chic!! Congrats on your bargain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifed-banana-republic-colorblock-dress-kr#post-685884 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 02:02:02 +0000 merwoman 685884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool dress - your shoulders are de-emphasized (with the black colour on top) giving you an hour glass silhouette. Looks great! </p>
