You will be able to change the look of the dress easily with accessories. What is the fabric of the dress?<br /> I was just looking at a fashion magazine today that used a basic dress like this and layered under the dress. They showed it with a striped knit top and with a buttondown shirt. A turtleneck under it would also work. You can also add a long scarf especially when the weather is colder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-76032 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:51:25 +0000 De 76032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments &#38; layering suggestions.<br /> I'm saving this topic to my computer so I can reread your positive feedback when I'm feeling most self-conscious about wearing the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75787 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:05:43 +0000 medusa 75787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress fits you really well.

The dress looks great on you - I've been eyeing a dress with a similar styling - I think it will be great for day, and perhaps you could dress it up for a smart casual evening? The bell sleeves on the cardigan are a great detail - it's perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75745 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:47:20 +0000 Vani 75745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, such a cute dress!

You could definitely layer it with a cardigan/tights/booties in the fall/winter. Fits you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75715 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:38:17 +0000 Srujana 75715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress looks great on you, and I think it would lend itself perfectly to layering...and that cardigan- i love it! so simple and yet so adorable with the sleeves and the detailing on the bust! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75702 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:07:38 +0000 rute 75702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kirten, you can layer the dress.. it's so in!! You can use leggings or opaque tights (black is too strong for this dress, maybe grey) and a cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75700 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:00:34 +0000 Angie 75700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your little @'s.

I LOVE that dress -- so very cute and versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75676 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:50:09 +0000 De 75676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Loulou - I also see it with a belt.The waistline is perfectly defined without it, but it'd be nice to change it up with belts especially since they're also something new to me!</p> <p>@ Taylor - I'm in northern Portugal and we've been having some crazy weather lately. Temperatures have been cooler than normal.</p> <p>@ Angie - thank you for telling me it's day appropriate, I was fearing I'd have to return it!</p> <p>@ Rute - the dress did fit perfectly, I was quite amazed because I'm usually hard to fit (because I'm short AND thin)</p> <p>Do you ladies think I could wear this dress in cooler weather by adding layers, or would that look awful? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75641 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:04:49 +0000 rute 75641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De,</p> <p>Great work!</p> <p>Love the dress! It has a perfect fit for you! Love the color.

I’d love to see you wear it with leggings too. </p> <p>The cardi is lovely! You had a super shopping trip. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75543 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:54:54 +0000 taylor 75543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress as is, or w/leggings. Not too short to my eye, and the cadi is cut too!! Raining??? Where are you...heat stroke here in California. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75527 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:15:19 +0000 Louise 75527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings would perhaps make the dress casual for day time i also see it with a belt? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-purchases#post-75512 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:36:56 +0000 De 75512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went out to do some much needed clothes-shopping today. I usually hate shopping, and I tend to make a few mistake purchases every once in a while because I get tired and just settle for whatever is in reach (well, practically).</p> <p>Today I spent nearly 2 hours going in and out of stores and trying clothes on. I even had a list with things to purchase and came away with only 3 items. BUT... now I'm not sure they were good purchases or not.</p> <p>1 of the things on my list was a summer day dress. I haven't worn dresses since I was 11, so this was definitely YLF inspired! I was going for a casual knit dress, but it seemed that every single one of them was either cut too low, not to my taste or completely out of my price range. And then I found this:<br /> <a href="http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt34/de_ylf/compras%2028-06-2009/IMG_6144.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i595.photobucket.com/al.....G_6144.jpg</a><br /> and<br /> <a href="http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt34/de_ylf/compras%2028-06-2009/IMG_6145.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i595.photobucket.com/al.....G_6145.jpg</a></p> <p>(ignore the wrinkles - haven't washed/ironed it yet. Please ignore what I'm wearing on my feet too)</p> <p>Is it too dressy for day to day wear? Is it too short?<br /> I thought it fit perfectly. The only problem is that I feel a bit uncomfortable with it now since it seems so different to what I originally had in mind! Any ideas on how to wear a dress like this will be very much appreciated! </p> <p>I also bought 2 cardigans, a very basic one and the following:<br /> <a href="http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt34/de_ylf/compras%2028-06-2009/IMG_6147.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i595.photobucket.com/al.....G_6147.jpg</a><br /> Does that look ok?</p> <p>Edited just to say I'm sorry for the bad-quality of the pictures - today's a rainy day and the lighting isn't the best. </p>
