Considering I only wear leather for bags and shoes, I am bound to strike &nbsp;myself out if I wear a leather jacket. I really don't see a problem here.<div>The dress can work depending on where the waist hits you.</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904612 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:38:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 904612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great point Aida! I did think that dress worked, as long as I wore a belt. I did end up donating it but that was because I didn't like the way it fit me in the shoulders and chest area but had no issues with the waist. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904605 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:33:32 +0000 Aida 904605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 1) Well I have no problem wearing multiple leather items, I mix leathers in outfits all the time (jacket/boots/purse, jacket/purse, purse/shoes, etc.). I think that your pieces are all on the sophisticated side so you'll be just&nbsp;fine there, especially if you are talking about just jacket/purse.<br /><br />2) The dress looks similar to the ON zigzag dress. If you felt that one worked for you, then this one is worth a try too https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904168 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:36:26 +0000 Suz 904168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ But a flowered brick is different!!&nbsp;<br /><br />Seriously, you'd have to try it on.&nbsp;<br /><br />As for the bag, it all depends on how well the colours mesh.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904150 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:19:08 +0000 Glory 904150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have tried a few versions of this dress and haven't managed to make the waist work for me despite the repeat trying. I am not very tall and am not an hourglass. I think it is worth a try - none of them have been too short for me https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904148 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:16:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 904148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok...so the leather jacket with leather handbag is fine.&nbsp;<br /><br />The dress...it does look short but I'm guessing on my ridiculously short legs, it would probably come closer to my knee.&nbsp;<br /><br />Rae - excellent point about the waist. If I'm looking for a bit of a flared skirt, maybe better with a fit-n-flare style? A brick really isn't quite the look I'm going for - lol! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904146 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:15:46 +0000 catgirl 904146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agree with Rae, I can't wear this elastic waist style at all, even with a belt&nbsp;- I just look like a belted sack of flour.&nbsp; But you are better at waist definition than me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904144 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:13:59 +0000 rae 904144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was thinking the same about the bag... now leather pants would be too much IMO!<br /><br />As for the dress, I'd be wary of those elastic waists. You have a petite waist and a higher hip, so you may have the same issue I have with them in that the "poofs" above the waist create the illusion of one big, square brick a the waistline.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904141 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:11:58 +0000 Anonymous 904141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't count bags as most of the time you don't have it on you. I think double leather is for clothing and shoes only.<br /><br />The dress is cute, but short! I am so annoyed at all the mid-thigh dresses and skirts this year. I do not want to wear things that are mid-thigh!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904136 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:10:07 +0000 catgirl 904136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think&nbsp;a bag counts as double leather?<br /><br />I like the shape of the dress, but it looks short - maybe not on us, though! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-unrelated-questions#post-904124 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:04:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 904124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 1. Is "double" leather a faux pas? Once I get back my cream leather jacket from alterations, would it be wrong to wear it with my cream leather handbag?<br /><br />2. &nbsp;What do you think of this shape/style of dress for my body?<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=93397&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=351516013">http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse.....=351516013</a>. I would add a belt for waist definition. It is the slightly flared skirt that is attracting me...well that, and the bold print to be honest!&nbsp;
