For one, it looks like it accidentally got caught in the skirt waistband, and also I feel like the downward half circle of the darker sweater over the lighter skirt is not flattering to your small waist and flat stomach.<br />Very interesting insight about the bookending but also special feature shoes, they look great, and the dress looks great too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495607 Sun, 24 May 2015 06:06:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1495607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the dress is the length you like best, I'd say wear it, and don't mess with a good thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495424 Sat, 23 May 2015 16:38:18 +0000 rizamei 1495424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I will try out some different tucking options. (Firecracker, your instructions are very helpful!) The dress looks a tad longer in this photo than it does in real life because of the angle of my photo, but I will see what it looks like pinned up a tad. I generally like dresses and skirts at the knee, rather than above, but I am (slowly) getting less shy about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495406 Sat, 23 May 2015 16:03:39 +0000 Kebaya Modern 1495406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow...it's beautful shoes good one choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495404 Sat, 23 May 2015 16:01:57 +0000 Rubygirl 1495404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful shoes and semi tuck works better.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think like Sharon and Donna have both mentioned. Try hemming the dress a little bit. It is super cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495380 Sat, 23 May 2015 15:16:24 +0000 Angie 1495380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed. The proportions are better with the top tucked or partially tucked.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fab new sandals. Dress is very classic - not dated.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495363 Sat, 23 May 2015 14:36:19 +0000 MTBGirl 1495363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the semi tuck recommendations. Those are beautiful shoes! I think the dress is great on you and Sharan's suggestion of hemming a little. Maybe try pinning it up to see? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495328 Sat, 23 May 2015 12:06:19 +0000 Liz 1495328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the proportions better on the second skirt outfit -- I'd probably use Firecrackers method and schooch the sweaterband up even further, so the proportion line ends up closer to your waist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495276 Sat, 23 May 2015 04:12:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1495276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, you look fantastic in that skirt outfit! I like it both ways, actually, but I think perhaps I do slightly prefer the semi-tuck proportion. I think it works with this sweater. Another thing to try is hiking the bottom band up a little and blousing the sweater over it. Easiest way to do it: fold up the band, and flip the band back and sweater back under, so that the wrong side of the band is again facing the skirt. </p> <p>I love the new sandals, and I like the dress on you. The style still looks current. I think the length may be a little longer than what I've seen recently in wrap dresses. Perhaps shortening a couple of inches--at or above knee--would give make it seem fresh again to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-questions-semitucking-old-dress-new-sandals#post-1495266 Sat, 23 May 2015 02:50:29 +0000 rizamei 1495266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-2: I wore the first outfit to work today (J Crew Tippi sweater, very old BR hand-me-down skirt). When I stopped to take this picture, I thought the proportions looked off. So I tried tucking the front.Do you agree that it looks better tucked? Does tucking work with this sort of knit? I felt self conscious about it, but I don't regularly semi tuck.</p> <p>#3-4: Also, I received these Sofft Vanita sandals from Zappos today. They seem pretty comfy, and will work with a lot of my clothes. I have black hair, so black shoes are almost always a good bet on me, but the metallic strap adds a little character for summer here. I wanted to try them on with a dress, so I put on this very old BR wrap dress... then got distracted by the dress. I wonder if it looks dated? I think the wrap style is classic. I may just think it looks dated because I know how old it is. I haven't worn it in a while, but now that I've lost weight, it fits again. What are your thoughts?&nbsp; </p>
