Fun color. </p> <p>But I think it's too long to wear with flares. Since you didn't end up wearing it around the house and also don't wear the dress just by itself, I recommend calf length leggings. They will give you more comfort and coverage and make the dress more wearable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiaw-colorful-edition#post-1509280 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 13:32:05 +0000 Tania 1509280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!</p> <p>Kellygirl, I was wondering about the proportion and whether the dress was too long too.&nbsp; Is this where 2:1 would apply?&nbsp; If so, the blue portion was already longer than it should be, so shortening would exaggerate that, but I am not sure I have applied the 2:1 guideline right.&nbsp; </p> <p>Jeweled, I think the cropped idea is a good one, although I think I'd like to have less contrast between the dress and a short topper, and I don't have many options there.&nbsp; I'll have to keep that in mind.&nbsp; The nice thing is that I am in an active closet building stage and can address wardrobe holes as I become aware of them.&nbsp; I think this color is good for me, so I'll have to think about it.&nbsp; </p> <p>Deborah, thanks for the feedback.&nbsp; I think you are a drape and layering queen!&nbsp; I think if I wore something like this, I'd would prefer more cohesion, but it was fun to give it a try with what I have on hand.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiaw-colorful-edition#post-1509248 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 08:30:46 +0000 Deborah 1509248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. &nbsp;The layering is great and the proportions look good to me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiaw-colorful-edition#post-1509056 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 21:08:27 +0000 Jeweled 1509056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like all 3 pieces - they're great outfit building blocks.</p> <p>But I think 3 long garments may be too much long-ness.&nbsp; What if one of the garments was a cropped version, adding visual interest with the proportion contrast?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiaw-colorful-edition#post-1508986 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 17:46:43 +0000 kellygirl 1508986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've got the height to pull it off but I think it might work better if the sheath was a little shorter or if you wear it without the sweater. The sheath is a gorgeous color on you. Fun fedora! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiaw-colorful-edition#post-1508970 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 15:23:10 +0000 Tania 1508970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In this case, WIAW is What I Almost Wore.</p> <p>I rarely wear dresses.&nbsp; I have this thrifted J Crew thin cotton sheath that I bought a few years ago.&nbsp; I keep thinking I'll wear it on hot summer days, but then I don't.&nbsp;I decided to try it over my flares.&nbsp; I then added the hat, my old sweater, and Birks so I could bump around at home.&nbsp; If I went out, I would likely switch shoes to my heeled cognac sandals or cognac combat boots&nbsp;and then play with sweater on/off, hat on/off, and potentially add some amber necklaces (if I didn't wear glasses or the hat).&nbsp; </p> <p>I liked this more than I expected, but&nbsp;the flares are tough&nbsp;for me to work with at home.&nbsp; I&nbsp;like to be&nbsp;barefoot as much as&nbsp;possible, so I&nbsp;changed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thoughts welcome!</p>
