We had a little one-day spurt of hot weather. I think we are due for a heat wave this week, but probably (hoping) not as bad as what much of the country is experiencing right now!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273578 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 19:18:40 +0000 Anonymous 2273578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s really hot where I am, and looking at your beautiful pictures makes me feel a lot cooler! &nbsp;The fabric and colors of that dress are just perfection on you, and so pretty with the white sandals. &nbsp;Great hair to top it all off! &nbsp;You’re killing it, Sharan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273572 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 18:45:24 +0000 Cardiff girl 2273572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty dress,lovely cool colours.l am fully on board with your quest to wear ones nicer stuff for any occasion when we go out otherwise as you say,when does it get worn in these mid covid times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273546 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 15:55:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bonnie</b>, another great idea! Thank you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273540 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 15:28:54 +0000 Bonnie 2273540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! I've been wearing my nice things for lunch every day even though we mostly eat lunch at home. I do whatever work, house or yard, in the morning, change into something nice for lunch, then change again in the early evening for a walk in nature. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273539 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 15:17:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Brooklyn</b>, your daily skirts are an inspiration, as were your lockdown lunch outfits last year. I enjoyed those posts!</div><div><b>Nadya</b>, thank you. I like your idea of Friday being dress day. So much more interesting than "casual Friday."</div><div><b>Indigoprint</b>, the dress is made from one piece of fabric. I had to figure out the layout of the pattern pieces, thinking about what I wanted to highlight where. How cool, to change for dinner--it makes me think of scenes from old movies. And instead of dressing up, per se, wearing something you like with a matching apron. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>These clever routines really appeal to me!<br /></div><div><br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273531 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 14:42:00 +0000 Indigoprint 2273531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;FAB dress. Is it two different pieces of fabric or does the pattern layout help showcase the ombre?<br />I love the practice!<br />&nbsp;Silly as it may sound, I usually change up my daily outfit for dinner. I have aprons that coordinate with what I have on, and it makes me feel good to wear something that I like while preparing and sitting down for dinner.<br />In addition, I have been wearing new outfits at home as a "trial run"<br />so I can work out the kinks before I leave home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273515 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 13:55:30 +0000 Nadya 2273515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress and that you made it. Wow! I’m really glad you’re wearing it. When I was full time work from home in 2020 and 21 I made Friday “dress day” so that I would wear my dresses and it was a nice day brightener. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273508 Sat, 23 Jul 2022 11:42:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2273508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so clever. The dress is beautiful. Love the collar.</p> <p>And yes, I wear my nice clothes every time I leave the house. Even to walk my dog. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes/page/2#post-2273432 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 22:01:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, <b>Eliza</b>!

A big YES to finding ways to wear the clothes. It was getting quite dull and redundant around here. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273418 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 21:06:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thank you, <b>Sal!</b></div><div><b>Jaime</b>, this dress does remind of Israeli designs that I've admired, now that you mention it. I agree about dressing for oneself, especially now in the fashion moment of "(almost) anything goes."<br /></div><div>thank you, <b>Lyn2</b>, for your sweet comment! The fabric was all one piece. It included substantial swaths of white. <br /></div><div><b>kkards</b> and <b>Helena</b>, thank you!</div><div><b>RobinF</b>, I do think shorts can be stylish, too, but as <b>Laurie</b> points out, there is something a little special feeling about a dress. <br /></div><div>Thank you, <b>Rejoiceandbe</b>. I agree, a dress that allows air to circulate is key. <br /></div><div><b>Aquamarine</b>, I know--can it be possible that the norm has become even more casual that it was getting pre-pandemic? I do seem to see people making more of an effort around my area lately, though. It's fun to see.<br /></div><div><b>RoseandJoan</b>, I'm happy to have inspired you!</div><div><b>Suz</b>, that outfit looks simple, elegant, and polished. Nice for casual entertaining.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273384 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 16:06:25 +0000 Suz 2273384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous summer dress and you look lovely. I, too, am wearing the clothes for whatever passes as an event. Last night I wore this outfit when we had friends for dinner.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273381 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:30:27 +0000 RoseandJoan 2273381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is absolutely beautiful and I'm glad you decided to wear it.</p> <p>Lockdown here already feels like a thing of the past and, sometimes, I need to stop and appreciate the small things I was unable to do 12 months ago and to make the most of these once everyday occasions. This has to include wearing the dress when the chance arises. Thank you for the inspiration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273375 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:14:35 +0000 Aquamarine 2273375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and are very talented.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Yeah, I’m struggling with upping my dressing game when there’s little reason or occasion to. Or when I do and look around at how under dressed everyone else is, feeling depressed because it’s a reminder of how the world has changed.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273371 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:05:00 +0000 Laurie 2273371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic dress, and you made it?! You look terrific!</p> <p>Dresses are the easiest things of all to wear - 1 garment. But they seem special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273355 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 12:34:46 +0000 Helena 2273355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how lovely! The colours are just so soothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273348 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 12:25:25 +0000 Rejoiceandbe 2273348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses are the coolest garments for me in hot humid summers, especially if they are free flowing and waft around. The dress looks stunning, both on you and in craftsmanship. You are obviously a skilled dressmaker! The garden looks good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273346 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 12:16:05 +0000 RobinF 2273346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Your dress looks fab. I default to shorts too. Haven't quite figured out how to make dresses feel casual enough for me but I love them on everyone else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273338 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 11:08:45 +0000 kkards 2273338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a perfect summer dress.

I love linen, but linen dress are generaly so plain, uni color and basic cuts or frilly, striped or bright colors. Am in love with yours! Did you combine 2 different linen fabrics here? (one the ombre colors and one plain white?) anyway, TDF!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273318 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 08:08:00 +0000 Jaime 2273318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is so fab and just perfect to elevate the mood on a regular day. Very Israeli sort of dress actually. I find how I dress is mostly about me, me, me and am leaning into that more and more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273299 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 03:30:32 +0000 Sal 2273299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes wear the nice things!</p> <p>You look great as always and I support the attitude totally.&nbsp; Lovely cool breezy elegant dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273298 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 03:24:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Irina</b> and <b>cat2</b>, for that inspiration!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273295 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 02:52:35 +0000 cat2 2273295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer skirts and dresses in the heat. I wear them with casual flats and bags and they don’t feel unduly dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273291 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 01:54:31 +0000 Irina 2273291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That a pretty dress! It’s great you decided to wear it.&nbsp;<div>I try to wear my better clothes, too. And not only twice a week to the office but to a mall or visiting kids, every opportunity counts.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273288 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 01:46:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>SarahD8</b>, I like that idea of dressing down the dress. Dresses can be the coolest choice on a hot day, too. We'll see about that this coming week!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Bijou</b>, I do think dressing appropriately, even for a work phone call--doesn't even have to be video--makes a difference. "Work mode" is a thing, for sure.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>merwoman</b>, thank you. It was a puzzle, trying to figure out how to place the ombre pattern on this dress when I cut it out! Glad to hear you are taking Angie's advice to heart, too. It can be a challenge for me, but it is mood-lifting.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273287 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 01:42:58 +0000 merwoman 2273287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire your sewing skills Sharan, you look beautiful in this gorgeous dress. The way the colours flow is just divine!<br />I’ve had Angie’s words ‘if not now, when’ resonating in my head as well. I’ve been consciously dressing &nbsp;up in a way that makes me feel good for just about everything from grocery shopping to medical appts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-clothes#post-2273284 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 01:20:17 +0000 SarahD8 2273284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a cool pattern, and fantastic fabric! This looks great on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear dresses a LOT during the summer but I dress them down like Janet mentioned.</p> <p>Best to enjoy a nice outfit and a nice walk before we are sweltering next week, huh?&nbsp; </p>
