Olive green dress is being shipped off to Flea Market asap. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-orphans#post-936270 Sun, 19 May 2013 09:32:09 +0000 Deborah 936270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the slippers but not with the midi dress:(. I say keep the slipper though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-orphans#post-936268 Sun, 19 May 2013 09:25:45 +0000 jurocha 936268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Following my reading of <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/09/28/footwear-for-midi-length-skirts-and-dresses/" rel="nofollow">Angie's post on mid-dresses</a>, I ordered <a href="http://www.zalando.at/tamaris-slipper-braun-ta111a0dq-702.html" rel="nofollow">this slipper</a> in an attempt to salve these dresses. I am not sure it works... maybe I am too much of a shortie for mid-dresses.<br /><br />To be truthful, on me, these mid-length dresses are almost ankle-length... do you think alterations are possible here?<br /><br />#1 Brown Slipper<br />#2 Brown Slipper worn with olive-green cotton dress<br />#3 Olive green detail<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-orphans#post-936267 Sun, 19 May 2013 09:20:06 +0000 Deborah 936267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jurocha, I think you could let them both go. I don't know enough about your style yet to know if they fit your current style goals but I'm guessing they don't because they haven't been worn in such a long time. They both read as slightly dated to me. They are still lovely but if you are not wearing them I say let them go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-do-with-these-orphans#post-936265 Sun, 19 May 2013 09:05:59 +0000 jurocha 936265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These dresses have been thrown in the flea market basket a dozen times. At the very last moment, though, I always rescue them and store them safely back in my closet. There is the problem: I STORE them back, because they haven't been worn for at least 3 years now.<br /><br />I bought them a long time ago, while living in a warmer climate and back them they were fine to be worn on their own with flats on chillier days. Since I moved, they've been theoretically repurposed as spring/summer dresses, but as I said... they didn't really come out to play. <br /><br />I can't find shoes or jackets to go with them (I am no fan of sandals!). Do you guys have any suggestions? Or are they that unflattering and therefore should be tossed without second thoughts?<br /><br />#1 Jeans dress: mid-calf length, fit-and-flare, buttons and embroidery details in red.<br /><br />#2 Olive cotton dress: also mid-calf length, V-neck, brown-ish/burgundy-ish stripe on neck and on 3/4 sleeves.<br /><br /><br />
