I like all of your jewelry choices. The piece in 4/5 looks like the other new one.

The dress is so versatile, and a fab colour for you. I'm with others in preferring the necklace in 6/7: the length of the one in 4/5 looks a bit off to me--can't put my finger on why but something about the proportion makes me wish it were longer if that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589913 Fri, 04 Dec 2015 02:57:33 +0000 Jaime 1589913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann you have definitely found your groove in your new home.

I always say add one more!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589816 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 22:34:57 +0000 Beth Ann 1589816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Alasse, I'm still pining for a v-neck navy one I had in the early 90's. &nbsp;I wore it was a rugged brown leather belt and brown tie-up booties. &nbsp;It would look perfect today ----- This one is not quite a replacement, but it works so much better than most of the bodycon ones I've found recently.</p> <p>Thanks, Angie. &nbsp;Glad you like the length. &nbsp;I just got finished hemming half of my daughters closet, and I'm wanting to do something else (maybe some cookie baking) with my time!</p> <p>Sharan/Carter: &nbsp;It's the length of the necklace in 6/7 that gives me pause, and the fact that it is all kind of pinched together -- I think it might break easily. &nbsp;I do like it's more modern look, since I don't have much like that in my wardrobe. &nbsp;I'll have to try it with other things.</p> <p>Thanks, Diane and Brooklyn. &nbsp;Winter dresses are hard to find, so I feel fortunate!</p> <p>Trying: &nbsp;Very good tip! &nbsp;I have a couple of good half slips that would do the job already --- one of them from JCP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589811 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 22:20:32 +0000 carter 1589811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and super fab necklaces! I really love the new one from WHBM. I also love the way you layered the necklaces in pic #8. You've inspired me to see if I can make this work too. The necklace in 4/5 is also great. It's a bit hard to tell on my monitor, but it looks like it ties all the different metal colors together, leaving you free to mix and match however you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589802 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 21:52:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1589802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress. What a find! I prefer the 6/7 necklace to the 4/5 necklace. But they are both pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589789 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 21:14:17 +0000 always trying 1589789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lovely sweater dress.&nbsp; Yeh, good fitting sweater dresses are not easily found. I found one 3/4 years ago at JCPennys and it is also a thinner soft knit, feels more like cashmere.&nbsp; Just a hint, I had to purchase a slip to wear under mine as it seemed to want to kling around my legs.&nbsp; Pennys also had them so I did not have to hunt around for one.&nbsp; so if you find yours clingy you may have to do that.&nbsp; Once you find one that fits the way you want it too then you do not want to take it back.</p> <p>Looks great with the cardi.&nbsp; I find all the necklaces keepers, and love all your looks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589776 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 20:34:26 +0000 Anonymous 1589776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the iterations and yes to all the fab necklaces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589760 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:47:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1589760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater dress and high-low cardi are super fab on you! I like the length as is. It will go well with tall boots, too, I think. My favorite necklace with this outfit is 6, followed by the colored beaded one in 1. I'm not as sold on 4/5, but it looks more refined, so perhaps you have some smoother, silkier blouses or dresses that it would adorn nicely. I like your layered look in 8, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tinsel-for-the-tree#post-1589738 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 18:37:13 +0000 MTBGirl 1589738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress on you!
