I'm not sure how I feel about the racer back. I like the front. I also am totally not surprised that you would be drawn to it. It feels very much like something you would like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63478 Sun, 03 May 2009 19:34:00 +0000 Anonymous 63478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with GG. I feel about it sort of how I feel about the high wedge tennie runners we saw last year. I don't know what the official name is, they looked like tennis shoes only had a high wedge sole which took them into another catagory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63468 Sun, 03 May 2009 18:26:53 +0000 greenglove 63468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not crazy about it because it seems like a forced combo. I would like to see it in person. I also think that it breaks the body up in a weird way. Sometimes I think these things appear because it is so hard to find new ways to design. I would like to see it on you before I would make a final judgment. I think you may like it because you have such a love of mixing textures. I might like it better with less contrast . It looks a bit silly to me but who knows? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63457 Sun, 03 May 2009 17:36:15 +0000 Angie 63457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried it Shiny? Just for fun :0). I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63443 Sun, 03 May 2009 16:07:17 +0000 Kyle 63443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you probably love it because you can imagine yourself wearing it and looking fab. It doesn't look like what you would typically wear to my eye, but I like it, and I especially like the fact that it is different. Sometimes you have to buy something like that and then wait for the right event to come along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63440 Sun, 03 May 2009 15:21:38 +0000 JewelryGirl 63440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit when I first saw it I thought it was the ugliest thing &#38; wanted to take the black overpart off (I'm not sure if it comes off or not). However, reading through these comments, I think others are right on (distinctive, dramatic, more formal, statement piece) - it would very likely suit your style Shiny &#38; I think if anyone could pull it off you could. I would love to see it on &#38; accessorized. It is a lot of black though. The shirt tails peeking through at the bottom are very sexy with a pair of killer shoes....something about the black on top for me though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63425 Sun, 03 May 2009 14:09:37 +0000 shana 63425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is the juxtaposition of the very female lbd dress with a man's dress shirt, kind of reminds me of some of Angie's styles with her feminine dress combined with docs or a moto jacket. Despite combining these elements, it's not androgynous at all. I find it interesting but a little sloppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63424 Sun, 03 May 2009 13:41:43 +0000 BlondeAmbition 63424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe your'e drawn to the drama of the dress. If you went to a party and someone walked in with that dress on you would probably think "wow that girl has guts to be sporting that!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63391 Sun, 03 May 2009 02:54:47 +0000 medusa 63391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same reaction as Sihaya - it's something that I could really imagine you wearing, Shiny. The contrast between the formal (little black dress) and informal (striped shirt sticking out the top and bottom) would really suit you, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63389 Sun, 03 May 2009 02:45:37 +0000 Sihaya 63389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny - the piece seems to really tie into what I perceive of your style. Black and white contrasting piece. Distinctive and dramatic. Shows off your bod and elongates you. I like the overall idea but not some of the specifics if I were looking at it for me - I think it would be more striking if the white were pure white and not look like a shirt - otherwise it seems like a black wrap top over a long PJ shirt to me. I love the drama and the contrast too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63380 Sun, 03 May 2009 00:30:47 +0000 Ellen 63380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You like the waist definition in the piece? I know your eye always appreciates anything that defines the waist! I'm the same way... I tend to like strange things if they make a waist look smooth and small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63379 Sun, 03 May 2009 00:30:00 +0000 crwilson 63379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not something I would generally be drawn to, but I can imagine it looking great on you. You have the personality to pull it off I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63378 Sun, 03 May 2009 00:16:50 +0000 taylor 63378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny,</p> <p>You are so funny. I don't know why we are sometimes drawn to things we would never wear or own, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate it.</p> <p>Perhaps you are drawn to the color/fabric contrast, and the interest of the solid/stripe.</p> <p>I don't love this...but I don't hate it, I think someone could wear this..I think you may love the possibilities with this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-do-i-love-this#post-63375 Sat, 02 May 2009 23:55:52 +0000 shiny 63375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is outrageously expensive, and I have no idea where I would ever wear it, but I keep coming back to it for some reason:</p> <p><a href="http://www.nicolemiller.com/SHIRTING_STRIPE_DRESS/pd/np/13/p/1892.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nicolemiller.com/SH...../1892.html</a></p> <p>Why do I love this?
