That's what I do ; ), at least once it warms up. I really like your "uniform" in #5. Perhaps if you want to mix it up, you could think about some fun toppers, like a moto jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185721 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:47:43 +0000 Helena 1185721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I like the first dress, could you wear black tights with it? The first dress looks too big, but in a smaller size, it might be just right. Welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185718 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:44:40 +0000 shiny 1185718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! I think I am the only one who does not care for dress #1. It's rather a snore, even if it fit you perfectly. </p> <p>On the flip side, I do like the other dress. It may be too big -- hard to tell in the photos, especially with arms up like in pic 6, and in pic 8 I can't tell because it's belted. For dresses in this sack&nbsp;shape, which deliberately surrender the waist, you need to have the arms fit snug -- it looks like they do?&nbsp;I don't care much for it belted. I want to see it with no belt and your arms down. It may be too wide but so simple to take it in a bit on the sides.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love that you paired it with leopard print shoes. I'd never have thought of that in a million years, but it works great.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for white legs, they are fine! In fact&nbsp;pasty white is trendy because skin cancer. Also it's only march. They won't stay that white for long.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185714 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:39:34 +0000 Linda 1185714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think anyone would exclaim that your legs are too white.&nbsp; You can always wear a pair of tights, or wear hose, or use a self-tanner, but I wouldn't say you need to.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have to say I am learning I'm not good at assessing outfits, from selfies!&nbsp; I don't know whether it's my vision, or my screen, or what -- I don't notice details that others point out, or I can't figure out the drape or other aspect of the garments.&nbsp; (Not just having trouble with your photos, but generally.&nbsp; I'm very picky about online shopping, too, few photos seem to really display what I want to know to decide on a purchase!)</p> <p>I think the dresses are okay.&nbsp; But I would not say either of them is killer.&nbsp; 1 looks on the casual side.&nbsp; I agree with everyone that the other one seems tentlike, and not in a flattering way.&nbsp; Your skinnies and jeans take better advantage of your slim frame, to my eye.&nbsp; I would dress you in a more fitted dress (I was just drooling over the fitted long sleeved dress that the blogger featured on the site today, sewed.&nbsp; I think you could rock that sort of dress - here:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.beautejadore.com/2014/01/diy-perfect-little-herringbone-dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.beautejadore.com/20.....dress.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185710 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:35:49 +0000 rabbit 1185710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm uncomfortable with dresses with bare legs, but with fleece lined tights or leggings (with boots/booties) it's a whole different thing. &nbsp;Opaque tights sometimes are warm enough too. &nbsp;<b>Ornella</b>'s posts have a lot of great tights with skirts color schemes.</p> <p>I like the first dress on you (adjusted to work with a topper)&nbsp;and maybe the trench coat with another dress. &nbsp;It's a fun exercise to have someone else pick out your clothes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185699 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:17:32 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1185699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others; the first dress is fun but the second looks too big entirely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185666 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:21:50 +0000 deb 1185666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 on you but the other one, not so much.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185654 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 22:10:09 +0000 Anonymous 1185654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! You should look at AviahMaria's posts -- I think you might be style sisters :)</p> <p>I like the first dress on you. I love your purple loafers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185600 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:27:18 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1185600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all,<br />Stitchfix is a combined shopping/ styling service that I read about recently. Basically you sign up, put in your physical attributes and style preferences and they send you a box with 5 new items, with styling tips. You send back what you don't want in a prepaid envelope&nbsp;within 3 days.&nbsp;It is supposedly very popular with people who have no time to shop.</p> <p>So why does a person like myself who spends an excessive amount of time following fashion and shopping on line try it? Because I was curious to see what someone else might recommend for me. I particularly asked for dress suggestions, because I rarely wear dresses. Partly because it's cold ... and partly because I rarely find ones that I like.</p> <p>Anyway, after a couple of weeks&nbsp;they sent me: super cheap and ugly&nbsp;looking necklace, blue &amp; white stripe cardigan (I liked that one), ruffled trench coat (in pic 7), b/w + green striped dress, and tan/orange medallion print sack dress. Also sent some outfit ideas for each item, which was a good element of the service.</p> <p>I was interested in&nbsp;the ideas that the Stitchfix stylist offered but wasn't super thrilled by them. I was curious whether it was my comfort with&nbsp;skinnies and cardigans&nbsp;in the way or whether the selection&nbsp;were actually not the best choice for me. I liked the colors in the tan/coral dress but it was super big and I have a hard time wrapping my eye around myself in ruffles and volume. Also I noticed the&nbsp;same thing about the striped dress being gappy with the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185570 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:08:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 1185570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi &amp; welcome Ummlila!! Love the jeans outfits - your boots/shoes are fab.&nbsp;Dress #1 looks a little big around the neckline when you wear it with the jacket &amp; dress #2 is too big imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185555 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:59:56 +0000 carter 1185555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is Stitchfix? Is the goal of the dresses to take you out of your comfort zone or just to find another silhouette that still feels like you?</p> <p>BTW...welcome! Selfies get easier.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185553 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:59:27 +0000 adorkable 1185553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the two dresses both new? I like the dress in 1-2 a lot. I want to like the dress in 6-8 - it's a great color on you - but it looks too big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185552 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:59:05 +0000 rachylou 1185552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1/2 and #4/5 work for me. #3 is fine, but the different items don't feel like they're really pulling together to me. The last dress just doesn't look like *you* to me. I feel you look a little cold... and have more authority than the dress implies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-usually-wear-and-opinions-on-alternatives#post-1185536 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:48:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1185536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first photo post. I discovered I'm not good at selfies. A couple of weeks ago I thought I'd try Stitchfix, just to see what other people might pick out for me. Got a couple of dresses I would never choose for myself and can't decide if they are keepers. Also including two of my typical comfort zone cardigan and jeans outfits for contrast. What you you think?<br /> And what would you do to cover super white legs.? </p>
