That dress shirt is awesome. And the moto is delicious too.</p> <p>(Actually, independent of occasion, I love your dress --- I hadn't seen it before, I think?)

It looks relaxed but polished, and the pop of yellow in the bag is outstanding.</p> <p>Good to see you post again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796414 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:18:09 +0000 Sara L. 796414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the second outfit and the moto looks perfect with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796409 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:05:15 +0000 TraceyLiz65 796409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great!

This is what I decided to go with...</p> <p>JCrew high waist jeans, Sigrid Olsen beaded pintucked shirt, black camisole, black ballet flats, new moto, and vintage purse.</p> <p>We are headed out the door! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796325 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:38:23 +0000 Ornella 796325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moto looks like a keeper!</p> <p>I second the suggestions for changing the dress. Very fresh, bright and therefore seasonally confusing, I don't see sheer hose balancing it out much more. </p> <p>Personally, I would steer from untried combinations in the circumstances when I know very few people, but would stick to what I feel great and comfortable in (hence less self-conscientious).<br /> I think with the jacket like this you can wear the simplest of outfits (layering top, turtleneck, button down + jeans) and make great impression.</p> <p>Have fun on the evening. i'm going through all that setting up a life in a new environment myself and know how important it is to meet the like-minded and interesting people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796320 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:35:17 +0000 Sarah A 796320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoulder fit in the jacket is perfect... like a second skin without being constricting. I basically adore it. The fit and flare at the hem the pil commented on liking is where i am not sure...mainly it is not a shilouette I have ever worn. I am looking for the piece to be a long term wear and dont know if the fit and flare hem is too pepulum like and will date?</p> <p>As for the dress... maybe I'll abandon and find something else to pair with the moto... wish i would not have just put my black jersey dress in the washer 15 min ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796319 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:34:41 +0000 TraceyLiz65 796319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the moto jacket! I don't think it pairs well with this dress. I also agree that the dress coloring is too summery to become winterized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796303 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:25:54 +0000 cciele 796303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moto is gorgeous! And I'm surprised that's a petite -- the length works for you. How's the shoulder fit? I can't tell whether it's big in the shoulders or not.</p> <p>I would go with sheer hose to try the summer-in-winter look. But I'm not sure the moto is the right jacket to wear with the dress. To me, the contrast is a bit too strong. I noticed Lyn* wore a cardi with her -- a softer look that worked with the dress. Do you have a cropped black (or whatever color goes with the trim on the bottom of the dress) cardi to try?</p> <p>Other suggestions -- scrunch the sleeves of the moto and wear some dark chunky bracelets with it.</p> <p>You've got some nice pieces there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796302 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:25:05 +0000 Anonymous 796302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moto looks like it fits and the color is gorgeous, but I'll let others with more of an eye for that cast their verdicts on the fit!</p> <p>I agree with pil that the dress is too summery to moonlight as a winter dress, too. It's a combination of the white background and floral motif for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796295 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:21:30 +0000 pil 796295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket is very nice on you and particularly like the fit and flare at the hemline. Others do comment on how leather stretches, if that might make a difference in the fit.</p> <p>As far as the dress, I love it, but feel it is a little *too* summery to make the leap to winter. I think it is the brightness of the white for me. But that's just me : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-date-night-and-is-the-moto-a-keeper#post-796280 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:06:24 +0000 Sarah A 796280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>Please indulge me a photo post without having been around much. After seeing Lyn* summer dress for winter i thought I might give it a go for hubby's birthday tonight. We will be meeting new friends in a group setting where we only know one of the four couples and hubby is keen to get to know some people in the new town we have moved to a few months ago. With all that said I want to make a good impression and not fall into any fashion victim territory!</p> <p>Also the moto is my proposed Christmas present. It is the John Carlisle from Nordstrom in as petite M (i usually wear normal tops -- im 5'5.5") but this was available on sale in my budget and seeing Angie's answer to a question on it a while back that it was too long for petites I thought I'd give it a go. Ill reserve my opinion on the jacket so as to not sway the results.</p> <p>Also should I wear sheer black hose instead of the gray tights?</p> <p>Thanks much for your help!</p> <p>ETA: The moto is a lovely dark teal. Sorry the pics are so dark!</p> <p>ETA 2: Ornella, you are so right! I am sticking with the moto... putting on my high waisted flare jeans, a white pintuck shirt, my fav calf hair leopard belt and adding a lady like retro purse to finish it off. Will post a pic in a few minutes. </p>
