You look great in the dress! It is gorgeous. I love the neckline area. </p> <p>A great, practical sweater that suits you.

They both look wonderful. Great to have a trans-seasonal dress because our weather can be so variable. And I love the bit of sparkle in the jumper.<br /> That's a good insight about a better eye after a fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1891253 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 18:10:54 +0000 Sal 1891253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jane - that warmth in caramel makes it work on me - and probably you too. It is not easy to find though!! I hope you have similar luck when you end your break.</p> <p>Lisa thanks- I was delighted. These are my back pair of glasses to protect my Raybans and Ralph Lauren ones - but I like the shape even though they are just cheapies. Lots of great frames around at the moment but it is still not always easy to get ones that fit well.</p> <p>Angie-I think you have more influence than you realise!!

I have the same thing. I love toffee, but it is such a close run thing to fawn sometimes and then doesn't look so good on me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Great dress! So classic and elegant.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good pieces on which to break your shopping fast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1891125 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 05:57:30 +0000 Sal 1891125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy!</p> <p>Sarah - I love caramel and toffee - as soon is gets into beige or fawn colour though I cannot wear it....</p> <p>Thanks Angie - I thought of you with the dress after seeing you in some lovely lace dresses.&nbsp; It was meant to be as it is such a good fit and length on me.</p> <p>Cardiff Girl - yes it did feel good!!&nbsp; I did buy some lingerie in early February, but aside from that no clothing purchases since late November.&nbsp; I do this once a year - I vary the time of the year that I take a two month break but I find it useful when I do start shopping again that my eye is better.</p> <p>Thanks Krishnidoux - I am going to experiment a bit with the dress.&nbsp; I could see it worn undone with leggings or black pants underneath, and I might try with flats too.&nbsp; In store I had on tan flat sandals and while the refinement level was wrong the flats were okay.&nbsp; The sweater will be great with these shoes, also camel boots, and possibly my tall boots too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Bijou - I think the sweater will be useful.&nbsp; We often have casual meals with friends out at a local pub, or at home, or to the movies, or for work on occasions too...&nbsp; I could see the colour working on you too.</p> <p>Kathie - thanks!!</p> <p>JAileen - thank you also:)And&nbsp;</p> <p>Jussie - thanks!!</p> <p>Jenn - yes it was meant to be,&nbsp; as I was wondering what to wear to the wedding in June - the bride and groom are my age, second time around, in a boutique hotel.&nbsp; And I can wear it out for other occasions too - while I do have a fair few occasion dresses they are all summery and this one is a bit more trans-seasonal.</p> <p>Suz - yes I agree totally!!&nbsp; I used to do a lot more walking but now working from the office more (at the airport about 15 km away) and after school activities with my sons means more driving, and walking often from home then coming home and getting dressed for the day into different shoes.&nbsp; And I agree - these ëlevated"casual pieces are really handy for our lifestyles.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1891123 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 05:41:53 +0000 Sal 1891123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elizabeth - I am not a great sales shopper but it was my day.</p> <p>Joy - yes haha I do match my wall.&nbsp; Yes that was it exactly, I felt very confident that these will get sufficient wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Dianna - it has been a while since I wore lace - I had two shell lace tops in the mid 1990s and I cannot remember anything since (aside from lingerie)</p> <p>Emily - I am not sure why the jumper would not work on you - is it the colour or the texture?&nbsp; &nbsp;It is a bit chunky but I liked the colour so much and the texture.&nbsp; And the fit is good too.</p> <p>Thanks Bonnie!!</p> <p>Brooklyn - Ingrid Starnes is a lovely designer - this is the dress link here.&nbsp; I am going to look further into her designs now.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://ingridstarnes.com/collections/sale/products/blancadressviscosecottonnylonblack">https://ingridstarnes.com/coll.....nylonblack</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1891121 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 05:30:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1891121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you really scored! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1891109 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 04:37:20 +0000 Anonymous 1891109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another pieces look wonderful on you and with your house ( wallpaper and trim color).

It's SUBLIME on you, <b>Sal</b>. Such an elegant and timeless silhouette. It's absolutely perfect.</p> <p>The colour of the pullover is fab with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890810 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 14:18:03 +0000 Cardiff girl 1890810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice -and doesn’t breaking the fast feel GOOD,! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890778 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 13:29:51 +0000 krishnidoux 1890778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it's admirable that you were able to stay shopping free for that long - given the Holidays were in the middle of this. I love the two outfits shown here. They both suit you so well in different ways. The first dress is the sweetest thing, yet it has some badass-ness to it because it's black and has lace. Did you try it with converse or flat tennis and your hair done up or flipped back?&nbsp;<br />The second look is also enticing! The sweater is simply beautiful. It looks especially good with your cognac footwear. It looks cozy and chic, just the type of thing to be wearing casually while looking good.&nbsp;<br />I think you won't regret having broken your purchase ban for these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890768 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 13:02:38 +0000 Bijou 1890768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress was made for you, it fits you perfectly. I also love your sweater, the lose knit means that you keep warm if there is a bit of a chill in the air without overheating - both great additions to your wardrobe and look stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890747 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 11:24:22 +0000 Kathie 1890747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did really well! The lines of the sweater are incredibly flattering, and the dress is the perfect length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890695 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 03:56:52 +0000 Jenn 1890695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They’re both great, Sal. Those look like really satisfying pieces to break a fast with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890676 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 02:35:19 +0000 JAileen 1890676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice! The dress is lovely on you. It looks like you’ll get a lot of wear out of the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890673 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 02:32:10 +0000 jussie 1890673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is perfect on you! Great buys </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890640 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 01:18:11 +0000 Suz 1890640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! You "go" with your wallpaper in that dress!&nbsp;</p> <p>It's gorgeous. I love how it can swing casual or dressy. This would be perfect for my life. You mentioned on my thread that the boots I bought would work for you -- I think this is true about us. We live in different climates but have very similar needs apart from temperature differences and your need for more sporty rain-ready gear, and mine for more snow-ready urban-feeling but comfortable stuff. This is feminine, yet not too "girly." Dressy, yet casual (with the button/ shirt dress vibe).&nbsp;</p> <p>The sweater is killer gorgeous and you will find it <b>SO USEFUL</b>. I have a similar thing in silver from Club Monaco. I don't wear it a ton...maybe 10 to 15 times per year. But when I wear it, I am always <b>SO GLAD</b> to have it. It's the perfect piece when you're just not sure. <b>You </b>want to dress up a bit...but you know the others will be in jeans and flannel shirts. Or <b>they</b> are going to be in business wear...but you've just come from the soccer field and don't have time to go home and change and needed something substantial under your coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-lace-and-sparkles#post-1890636 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 01:11:44 +0000 Sal 1890636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jlpp.</p> <p>I agree - the sweater will be fine for my work and casual meals with friends during the winter. It is too warm at the moment but in another month it will be great. </p>
