The whole thing is a good look.&nbsp; Having grown up in hippie-influenced Boulder, then Los Angeles for awhile, and now New Mexico, dresses like this are common in boutiques. So I'd easily wear it, but see where it would make me more self-conscious--Manhattan, for example.&nbsp;</p> <p>Most stuff I covet from the streets I end up not getting, because I just don't buy many clothes in general. But for years I coveted good quality, grey-black skinny jeans that I saw on urban women. By the time I was ready to get them (last year), skinny jeans were on the out, and I realized I didn't have the right body type, anyway. I ended up getting a great pair of straight-leg CK jeans in the same color, and I love them...even if I couldn't pull off the original.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-not-my-colourful-dress#post-2333438 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 08:29:32 +0000 Sally 2333438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the colours in that dress and the style really suits you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;I have been enjoying some of the 90s looking jeans and the docs with dresses out and about.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-not-my-colourful-dress#post-2333424 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 04:56:19 +0000 Bijou 2333424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks great on you.

I like how you have styled it with the straw hat and bag and the sporty flip-flops. Wear it often!<br />About your question, nothing comes to my mind at the moment. I would say that generally I stick to my style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-not-my-colourful-dress#post-2333352 Thu, 03 Aug 2023 12:00:01 +0000 unfrumped 2333352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I think the dress itself fits you well, style and shape-wise, and that is key to how well it works as a whole and being “ comfortably bright”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-not-my-colourful-dress#post-2333346 Thu, 03 Aug 2023 10:49:41 +0000 ChristelJ 2333346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, you look so good in bright colors!

A summer dress is a nice entry into colour. Love the bag/hat too.</p> <p>Early in the season I saw a woman wearing an oversized blazer and wide cropped pants. The obvious footwear to me would be something chunky to balance all the volume - sneakers, Birkenstocks, loafer? But she was wearing ballet flats and I loved the dainty contrast. I copied it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-not-my-colourful-dress#post-2333293 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 21:12:55 +0000 Angie 2333293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER festive and summery, <b>Dee!</b> </p> <p>So enjoy this VERY different vibe for you. You were right to follow those feelings. You wear it well :)</p> <p>The hat and bag are a smashing complement with the batik-integrity of the dress! You are ready for Bali.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've seen people wearing cowboy boots with playful sass and elegance this year - all genders. I'd be tempted if I bumped into a fun pair... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-not-my-colourful-dress#post-2333291 Wed, 02 Aug 2023 20:25:18 +0000 Dee 2333291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>I was traveling recently and saw a women wearing a fabulously colourful dress. She looked great and totally comfortable wearing all these bright colours together. I then thought maybe I should try this, I mean why not? What am I so afraid of?</p> <p>So here it is, my colourful dress, extremely lightweight, its like wearing a nightgown out in public but more socially acceptable. I'm not used to wearing really bright colours because I kind of like to blend in but I took it out for a test run while shopping at the market just to get used to wearing it in public and guess what? The sky didn't fall or anything lol.</p> <p><i>Now what about you?</i><br /> <i><b>Have you ever been inspired by what someone was wearing out on the street and then thought why not try it out for yourself?</b></i> </p>
