I like that the dress is quite long and the leggings just peek out. It's a change from the (shorter) tunic over leggings look. Both dresses are fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844474 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 06:08:43 +0000 Jane 1844474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of 1!

So different and so well put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844440 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 03:21:32 +0000 Anonymous 1844440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I hope it will be a cool weekend.&nbsp; I want to wear some of my new fall things.</p> <p>Aquamarine, I have a love for black in late summer.&nbsp; It is a nice change from frantic color.</p> <p>Joyce, these were comfy outfits.&nbsp; Thank you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844434 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 02:40:23 +0000 Jenn 1844434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your dresses, Joy. My favorite is the black with the leggings, but I do remember how great that Loft dress looked over jeans on you.</p> <p>I'm wearing a summer dress today, too! There's some light at the end of the tunnel, though. I noticed a cool weekend in the forecast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844401 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 01:14:20 +0000 Aquamarine 1844401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so hip in the all-black, my favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844399 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 01:08:12 +0000 Joyce B 1844399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits look fab and comfy, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844264 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 17:44:44 +0000 Anonymous 1844264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Karen, thank you for the confidence boost. My favorite side of the reversible dress is not the side in #2, although it is growing on me, but the more red and blue side in finds. I usually am not attracted to florals, but these are not ditsy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844216 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 15:08:18 +0000 karen13 1844216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always excited to see your WIWs - both of these are wonderful and so different. I don't think the leggings are too short. 1 is polished and 3 is just plain pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844204 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 14:38:32 +0000 Angie 1844204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS. Dress #2 is KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844202 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 14:31:52 +0000 Anonymous 1844202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ryce, the reversible dress is a summer workhorse. I worked hard to find a summer topper that would work with both patterns to make travel packing easier. I think the light aqua cardi I am wearing in 3/4 works pretty well with both sides.<br /> You are right that leggings or slim pants and a topper can extend the wearing season for a summer dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844183 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 13:31:53 +0000 Anonymous 1844183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reversible dress? How clever is that - and both sides have such cheerful patterns!<br /> Leggings and dresses are a winner in my book - great for variable weather and dealing with short dresses, too.<br /> Of course your more minimal look wins my vote as favorite, because that style is just my personal preference, but your bright floral look is excellent, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844181 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 13:26:51 +0000 Anonymous 1844181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker, Beth Ann, and Sterling, I have been a very slow adapter of leggings under dresses except for a winter look, so appreciate your thoughts. I will try longer slim pants under the black dress or retire it completely. I have a similar EF black sleeveless dress that is longer and can be worn on its own.<br /> Rachylou, I know what you mean about short dresses. We will hope for more length next year. I ended up paying full price to get a navy EF dress because it was the right length and color.<br /> Column, I'm thrilled to have given you some ideas.<br /> Firecracker, Kaelyn and Mirjana, I am thrilled that you approve these very different looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844172 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 12:55:22 +0000 Beth Ann 1844172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! &nbsp;You look terrific in your dresses! I like the leggings with dresses, and think it's becoming a classic silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844158 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 11:37:51 +0000 skylurker 1844158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second one (and it's trendy, I see a lot of vaguely chinese prints around).<br /> (I have a poison eye for leggings) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-my-summer-dresses#post-1844143 Tue, 12 Sep 2017 10:55:28 +0000 Column 1844143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooooooh.

I look so ROUND in all of them... they're all so short... it's not good. Lol.

For the last few days WIW are in Finds and a couple of quick photos to show that I am doing it and summer dresses are just right for the present weather if a topper is added for part of the day.<br /> 1/2: today's outfit with old thrifted Express dress and old short leggings.<br /> 3/4: yesterday. (Sunday for church and shopping), thrifted reversible dress. A favorite. I wore the dress showing the other side last (3rd find).<br /> The first find (grey and white stripe) was worn Saturday to a brunch meeting with metallic gold loafers and gold bag. The second find was worn Friday with jeans and red flats and a faded jean jacket. The third find, the other side of the reversible dress, was worn Thursday to grandson sit. I used an EF navy open cardigan when needed.<br /> The last find (bright pink EF dress) was also worn recently to a dinner and movie with tan accessories and open cardi.
