Few dresses perform so comfortably and sleep deprived or not, don't we all gravitate more to clothes that are beautiful and effortless? </p> <p>I have been a bit spotty with keeping up with forum lately (surgery for broken foot), so I missed the context of your exhaustion, Una. I hope you can catch some rest over the weekend and wish you more sleep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase/page/2#post-1201930 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 13:58:00 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1201930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look wonderful on you!!

Both look terrific on you, and it's nice to be able to change up the look of the dress if you want some variety.<br /> I may have to try the lighter color. I can't tell whether it's closer to soul- sucking beige or to taupe, though. It could make me look dead. You're right- that's a great style for an apple-y IT body type.<br /> I hope you get caught up on your rest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase/page/2#post-1201038 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 16:12:41 +0000 Angie 1201038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer frock.

Glad my eyes aren't terribly off. Denise, I got the 2. It is snug in the hips and blousier on top. I think James Perse runs small but this seems TTS as a 2 is a 4/6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200691 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:51:59 +0000 Jaime 1200691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great - get some sleep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200688 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:49:38 +0000 CocoLion 1200688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these pieces on you. &nbsp;Black is a great color on you. &nbsp;Do you mind me asking what size you got? &nbsp;I really like the dress in the lighter color, although that may not be as forgiving as the black.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200685 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:46:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1200685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, Una -- fashion and comfort all rolled together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200668 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:23:27 +0000 Tina 1200668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked at the stock photo and I think the black is a better choice for you.<br /> Your schedule sounds like my husbands, his advice would be an energy drink or 2 a day and (in his case) catch up on sleep in spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200664 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:18:41 +0000 Marley 1200664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute - love it!&nbsp; I got a similar dress at Nordstroms a few weeks before Christmas, but then left for the Midwest for 3 months - and didn't take it with me - so, now I have a new dress hanging in my closet just waiting to be worn - which will happen this weekend.,<br />Great vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200660 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:15:11 +0000 Anonymous 1200660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks like a workhorse. I could see Suz in the taupe version. Please keep it and the sweet leather vest too. Look how it changes the look of the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-dress-purchase#post-1200646 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:05:37 +0000 catgirl 1200646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tina, funny I was just thinking that... I came home and couldn't be bothered to do anything but crawl into bed dreading having to wake up at 4:30 again. </p> <p>I wish you could see details better on the dress but the stock photo shows the idea. </p>
