I agree about the shoe, Joy, and too much skin. AJ, Kiwigal, good points on all the lines &amp; rolls, etc. Janet, might try some cropped pants next. This is a fun exercise though. Definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360499 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:56:04 +0000 tricia w. 1360499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pieces work great together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360498 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:55:53 +0000 Janet 1360498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not the biggest fan of the dress-over-pants look, but I think it can work really well when it's done right. This is actually really nice! My only quibble is that I don't love the bulge that the roll of the pant leg creates -- I'd rather see the pants full length, or see a truly cropped pant leg. Everything else about the look has such clean lines, I want that pant leg ending to be clean, you know? That's a really fun dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360490 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:42:58 +0000 Anonymous 1360490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress!!

Maybe start with a less stressful occasion, just to see how it moves with you. It is sublime here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360445 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:12:06 +0000 Melaine 1360445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360402 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:32:41 +0000 Sal 1360402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tunic and it looks great with the jeans. &nbsp;I like the shoes too but agree black ankle boots may be even better. &nbsp;<br />Do wear it!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360382 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 06:28:13 +0000 catgirl 1360382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360367 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 05:40:07 +0000 AJ 1360367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the silhouette, but all the horizontal lines in the dress, hem of pants, and ankle strap is throwing me off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360364 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 05:25:26 +0000 viva 1360364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this too, Jackie!

The pants sort of continue the color-blocking. It might look even better with boogies or boots. The ankle strap pumps look great but all the bare foot (could be the angle of the photo) is throwing it off a bit for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360310 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:24:15 +0000 Sheila 1360310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection, I would wear this in a heartbeat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360308 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:22:32 +0000 Neel 1360308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I really love what you have done here. If I ever wear dress over pants (which I doubt!) This is how I would wear it. Pants that look like leggings with a breezy tunicy dress :). Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwbut-tried#post-1360301 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:16:35 +0000 jackiec 1360301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so inspired by Inge's post about wearing dresses over pants. It's a look I've never tried, but I adored some of the photos she linked. I realized that I have a colour blocked dress that I've worn exactly twice over the past few years that might work. I tried it on with my Gap skinny black pants rolled up, and my black Okalas. We had plans Friday night to meet a few couples for dinner, and I tried this on as a potential outfit. I chickened out and went to an easy fallback of white BF's and white top and booties&nbsp;(I'll post that in a weeks worth of WIW's next). I'd never met some of the people we were meeting and needed a comfy "me" outfit to keep my confidence up. Anyhoo, here's part of my outfit lab...testing the dress over pants look. I think I like it. And actually, I think I might keep working on it - maybe some distressed skinnies &amp; booties to make it more intentionally like pants vs leggings. This is fun - thanks Inge for the inspiration. What do you think? Thoughts? Tweaks? Do you wear dresses over pants? </p>
