Really fab. I love the new items, too. I might just have to copy you with that Zara linen top -- lovely! The skirt looks really great on you, too. These items are much more "you."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917822 Wed, 09 May 2018 16:56:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 1917822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a linen dress very similar to the one that you are wearing and I also would have preferred it longer initially but I do wear it and in the heat the length doesn’t bother me so much.I really think that it suits you very well and if it’s slightly cooler you can wear some cropped leggings underneath. All your other purchases look great as well,l look forward to seeing what outfits you put together with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917809 Wed, 09 May 2018 16:28:18 +0000 Dianna 1917809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress on you, Anchie, color and length are fine to me.&nbsp; If you have not returned them yet, you could try it over the yellow crops from your Esprit order.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917807 Wed, 09 May 2018 16:25:10 +0000 RobinF 1917807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these but especially the linen dress. I don't think it is too short. I also wear bike shorts under my dresses and skirts like Texstyle suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917799 Wed, 09 May 2018 16:06:24 +0000 Sara L. 1917799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great on you and don't find it too short at all (I will admit that I am frequently less conservative with regards to hem lengths than the forum in general).&nbsp; I love the skirt you got too - I'm hoping to see how you style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917798 Wed, 09 May 2018 16:03:38 +0000 anchie 1917798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toban - I was just playing with the skirt - see picture. Not sure if I lost my marbles when I got that skirt - I think it looks nicer in real life - it is very gauzy material with lots of movement.</p> <p>Elisabeth P - my beach casual is VERY casual. Still contemplating should I really get rid of my short shorts. It is not like I am going out and about in them, but they are useful for around the house and over a bikini on the beach. </p> <p>Kathie - thank you. I hope the length is fine because I really like the dress.<br /> lyn67 - exactly - I don't understand it either. Who is wearing all this extremely short dresses?<br /> textyle - that was my first thought when I tried the dress on that I need something to wear under it.<br /> efbgen - unfortunately I forgot to do the sit and bend test, but I will return to try it once more.<br /> Angie - I do have some casual footwear, see finds. It just that few days ago I destroyed my feet by wearing shoes without the socks. I have bloody blisters everywhere including tops of many toes. That is why I am featuring flip flops so prominently. I will most likely get the dress, need to try it on one more time. <br /> Lynn - thank you. Hope you still agree after you see the skirt picture </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917790 Wed, 09 May 2018 15:48:43 +0000 Like the Season 1917790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about that linen dress. To my eye, it looks perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917786 Wed, 09 May 2018 15:37:03 +0000 Lynn 1917786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is terrific on you and also like the other items Archie.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917742 Wed, 09 May 2018 14:30:34 +0000 Angie 1917742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The linen dress is my favourite, <b>anchie</b>. KILLER. Go get it. Fab over skinnies too.</p> <p>Do you have casual shoes that are not flip-flops? I like these sandals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917727 Wed, 09 May 2018 14:09:11 +0000 Anonymous 1917727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ANCHIE- do you feel comfortable with the length when you bend over to touch your toes? That is one of my methods for yay or nay on dresses.<br />It is a lovely dress no matter what you decide. Think your other picks will bring you "casual" happiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917725 Wed, 09 May 2018 14:05:03 +0000 texstyle 1917725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my I love the dress on you!&nbsp; Seems perfect for summer. If you are self conscious you can wear a pair of those streamlined light weight "shorts" under it. Not spanx - I'm talking about the light weight type that are used just for coverage not support.&nbsp; </p> <p>So are the skirts all for casual wear? The shorts and boatneck red top look great for that pupose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917695 Wed, 09 May 2018 13:18:08 +0000 lyn67 1917695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you, it looks great in the pictie as short as it is, but. Aw, dress lengths is always a pet peeve- why oh why don't leave them longer????- as cuting hems is always easier if needed/wanted!! I just don't understand can somebody explain?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917686 Wed, 09 May 2018 12:36:23 +0000 Kathie 1917686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection! These items all seem like the perfect bridge between your polished style and need for summer casual. As for the dress, the length looks fine to me. But, if you think it’s too short for when/where you’d wear it, then leave it behind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917685 Wed, 09 May 2018 12:35:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1917685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great additions Anchie.&nbsp; Looks like you are pretty sorted... although I do wonder if you might still find yourself short on "beach" casual.&nbsp; I'm starting to think my definition of beachwear is far more casual than most YLFers.&nbsp; Which is why I didn't chime in on your previous post.&nbsp; </p> <p>The dress... I really like it on you. I don't think it's too short, however I know that this is very personal.&nbsp; Just wanted to let you know that if I saw you on the street, the thought that it was short wouldn't enter my head.&nbsp; It looks like a fab comfortable summer piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917683 Wed, 09 May 2018 12:31:41 +0000 Toban 1917683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely selections and definitely more *you*! &nbsp;I love the olive green dress on you. I don't think it is too short to wear as a casual dress. The color and silhouette looks great on you. The skirt is definitely a wild card -- I look forward to seeing how you style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-shopping-today#post-1917679 Wed, 09 May 2018 11:52:07 +0000 anchie 1917679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that this is the last part of my summer casual saga, with happy ending hopefully. I am off work today, but had to drop off my daughter to school this morning. Well, just next to the school there is a big mall and I decided ti go in. I rarely shop in B&amp;M stores because I almost never have time for just myself. I treated my self with nice cup of tee while waiting for stores to open. And then braced myself and started looking and trying things on, concentrating on bottoms. I hit a jack pot in Zara with 4 items. One of them is a wild card skirt. I just hope that Zara did not have a skinny mirrors and that I will not look huge in it once I tried it at home. Other things a pretty basics, but I feel much more me in them. There is only one thing that I was not sure about and I left it in the store. It was an olive linen shirt dress, beautifully made, heavy linen, on the expensive side for me (not Zara obviously). I just wished it was longer. They had the same dress in many colors - white, navy, taupe, light blue, white and blue stripes etc but I was drawn to this olive color. What do you think? Is it too short or can I get away with it? Is this maybe tunic and should not be worn as a dress? And is the olive best color for me out of those available? Dress like that would round up my new casual collection nicely. <br /> You can see all my new items from today's shopping trip in finds.  </p>
