Angie, I am going to try the turtleneck idea today!! Great suggestion! And I'll take pics of it dressed up too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106355 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:42:09 +0000 lex 106355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all except the one with the vest - it fusses up the already complicated neckline with too much detail, and also, as Maya says, it makes it look too "heavy" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106340 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:19:31 +0000 Angie 106340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, you did a sterling job of dressing the frock down. I expected nothing less! Can you fit a thin turtle neck under the frock too? That will REALLY dress it down.</p> <p>Now lets see it all dolled up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106326 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:23:21 +0000 Maya 106326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfits look nice but the ones with the moto jacket and vest are very "heavy" looks to me, I think because of all the black leather (and then the tights are also black). Maybe a small shot of white is in order? Or nude microfishnets instead? I just feel the outfits need some lightness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106324 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:34:05 +0000 Laura 106324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Jean, you're right - here's the moto jacket/ Star Ling boots photo:</p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/November152009004.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009004.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106317 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:34:24 +0000 greenglove 106317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura,<br /> I think that the second 2 pictures are the same, I have not seen the motojacket yet. I like the dress with the vest but am not sure about the boots. Maybe too much black?<br /> I could be wrong if the textures are distinctly different. The dress is just gorgeous!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106283 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:01:28 +0000 cciele 106283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Repeating what's already been said -- The fuschia one is definitely stunning. So glad you are keeping it. The second one looks a bit matronly, I think because of the way it is cut.</p> <p>I like the MJ dress best with the moto vest--everything you wear with that vest looks so stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106281 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:51:48 +0000 Laura 106281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back went the sweater dress! Thanks YLFers :)</p> <p>Okay, I have tried a few items with the dress in an effort to dress it down as much as possible for everyday wear. The dress sort of resists being dressed down! </p> <p>Can you let me know which options are most successful at making this dress more casual? Thank you again for looking ...</p> <p>with moto vest and flat patent boots:</p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/November152009001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009001.jpg</a></p> <p>with denim jacket (the sleeves don't fit very well under the jacket ...)</p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/November152009003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009003.jpg</a></p> <p>with moto jacket and Star Ling boots (the sleeves fit fine under this jacket)</p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/November152009003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009003.jpg</a></p> <p>p.s. to Inge: of COURSE you would have been watching this dress So sad you aren't here because it's 50% off at Bloomie's right now. Keep watching because you might find it somewhere on sale very soon (I suppose because it's short sleeved?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106277 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:45:19 +0000 Angie 106277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo! Laura our frock queen does not disappoint! I’m sure your frock fetish rubbed off onto Kristen. And mine might have rubbed off onto you :0)</p> <p>Can’t wait to see pictures of this dress all dolled up, AND dressed down. I know that you’ll score a KILLER rating witout even thinking about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106250 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:09:47 +0000 Inge 106250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura!!!! I have been drooling over that Marc Jacobs's dress (in green) for ages now!! And you bought it!!<br /> It's beyond stunning, you are definitely going to be the belle of the benefit;-)</p> <p>(and are you wearing the "Inge" boots you alerted me to a while back?)</p> <p>I agree about the other sweater, it's not special enough for you.</p> <p>Have fun at the benefit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106249 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:51:10 +0000 lex 106249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both. Keep them both! Unless you would like to mail the purple one to me, in Australia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106230 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:00:30 +0000 medusa 106230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel excited that my read (without looking at the comments) was YAY! on the first and return on the second...I can join Maya in being right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106223 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:39:15 +0000 Laura 106223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, LOL! Now if only you can figure out a way to get paid for being right!! How about being a judge? Law school, here you come ...</p> <p>I am so excited because we have a benefit to attend at the Palmer House on Thursday and this dress will be perfect. Also it kind of dresses down with flat patent boots and a moto jacket. I'll try to get another photo of it dressed down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106221 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:04:59 +0000 Maya 106221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gloating at being right again! (sorry, gotta grab my confidence where I can get it...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106220 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:52:28 +0000 Angie 106220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without looking at any other responses, here’s my 2 cents: </p> <p>#1 - KILLER. Launching into ORBIT…….flying around the room……need to recover from your sizzling style quotient!!!</p> <p>#2 – I vote return. Just not good enough for our stylish Laura. Sorry :0( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106216 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:32:18 +0000 karlie 106216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look great. Love, love, love the color of the first one. It is truly fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106213 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:04:03 +0000 Maya 106213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First one is totally killer. What an amazing color and neckline. </p> <p>I don't really care much for the second one. Something about the stripes and colorblocking isn't working for me and it just doesn't stand up to what I have seen you wear in the past. Considering how expensive it is, I can't give my blessings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106210 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:50:24 +0000 Laura 106210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what's odd? The second dress is considerably more expensive than the first (the Marc Jacobs). Given that, I am considering returning the second one. Not sure it's worth spending that much, given it's a sweater dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106208 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:40:07 +0000 marianna 106208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh that Marc Jacobs dress is amazing... definitely a keeper.</p> <p>I like the second one, seems like a good everyday piece. Feels very wintery to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106207 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:40:02 +0000 velvetychocolate 106207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the first dress is flat out 'killer' as Angie would say. As soon as I saw it, I thought WOW! </p> <p>I like the second one too - but it's more casual. That first one is *amazing* though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106206 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:50:53 +0000 Lee Hovey 106206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!! The first one is amazing on you.<br /> The second one is just ok, I could take it or leave it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106205 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:48:49 +0000 Boof 106205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first dress is a definite "Wow!" dress. Love the second one too. I vote "yay!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106192 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:57:53 +0000 elpgal 106192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is stunning! The second one looks like an easy 'wear and go' type of dress. Both are definite keepers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106185 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:35:22 +0000 Debbie 106185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those dresses. I think you should keep them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106184 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:23:43 +0000 kellygirl 106184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fuschia MJ is flat out killer. The seaming and the neckline are so unique. Definitely a keeper. I quite like the second dress as well for a more casual and relaxed look. Girl, you really rock those dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106180 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:31:31 +0000 RoseandJoan 106180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress one made me exclaim 'WOW WEEE', which is the highest form of praise in a house with a two year old. A definite keep.</p> <p>I also love the second dress, it looks so relaxed and comfortable. Another Keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-dresses-yay-or-nay#post-106179 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:21:38 +0000 Laura 106179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got so distracted at the Bloomie's sale today that I never even made it to my intended destination of AT Loft to check out that vest. Focus is not my forte these days :)</p> <p>As a result, I came home with two new dresses. Could you please rate them? Keep or return? Thank you soooo much for looking!</p> <p>marc jacobs dress:<br /> <a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/November2009012.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009012.jpg</a></p> <p>theory sweater dress w/ ponte knit pants:<br /> <a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/November2009017.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009017.jpg</a> </p>
