Firstly on this darkening time of the year. I always feel better when the days start lengthening even though they get colder. One reason I am training for a half marathon right now is to combat those dark weather feelings.<br /> Secondly we just had our last public holiday, WA day, last week and then nothing til the Queen birthday holidays in September. For jaileen. we celebrate it on a different day in various states in Australia and even Britain doesn't have the holiday in April. I think it may have been a previous monarch's birthday though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034886 Thu, 13 Jun 2019 01:52:48 +0000 Jaime 2034886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034835 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 23:18:18 +0000 Glory 2034835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in this dress and I like the surprise in the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034797 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 20:25:02 +0000 Jenn 2034797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in this dress, Jenni. There’s something incredibly elegant about a winter midi with tall boots. </p> <p>I rarely wear dresses in the winter here because it’s always so cold. Maybe SoCal winters will be different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034796 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 20:21:38 +0000 Jenni NZ 2034796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J’Aileen, re Queen’s birthday, I think it will be that April is too crowded with holidays, what with Easter. In Australia and NZ we have our main military/war remembrance holiday on 25 April as well, our Anzac Day ( rememberers Gallipoli in WW1). So better to celebrate her birthday at a different time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034794 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 20:11:56 +0000 Sal 2034794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a steal - the dress is brilliant on you! And the boots - not a steal but great!! I have had one or two scope items over the years, I like the brand too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034793 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 20:09:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2034793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Thanks Suz! I do have a shorter fit and flare in red which DD2 told me a few years ago was too young for me, too short, that may look a bit juvenile. I have a mind to wear it for the heck of it. Still like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034760 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 17:53:28 +0000 Suz 2034760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress on you! The pattern is perfection with your hair. Sometimes fit and flare can come across as a bit ...hmmm...I don't know...juvenile? But not this dress. This dress looks sophisticated, interesting, and comfortable all at once.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034723 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 16:21:14 +0000 Bonnie 2034723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an elegant look for you and looks fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034720 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 16:18:43 +0000 Cardiff girl 2034720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great dress this is on you.The fit and the length are perfect on you and the whole outfit is smashing Jenni,one of your best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034696 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 15:53:46 +0000 Angie 2034696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY.

You should get more dresses lime this. And wear them :)<br /> My work place celebrates different holidays then rest of the country, and it is nice to have a day off when kids are in school, shops are open and everyone else is working </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034654 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:44:17 +0000 JAileen 2034654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you. And with the boots. Really nice! Your wears info is so interesting. Impressive, actually.</p> <p>I don’t understand why QEll doesn't celebrate her birthday on her actual birthday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034645 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:37:11 +0000 Bijou 2034645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, this dress is lovely on you. Sad to hear that the owner may be quitting the business, at least you have the great dress and jacket. I am always much happier once we get past the winter solstice too. At the moment I leave home for work it’s dark and dark when I get home too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034641 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:29:47 +0000 Sara L. 2034641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an interesting dress!&nbsp; It looks great on you.&nbsp; You holiday situation sounds like winter/spring here.&nbsp; After New Year's Day there are no holiday weekends until late May (Memorial Day).&nbsp; There are a few days that federal employees get in January and February but private companies don't usually give those days off.&nbsp; I always joke that's it a wasteland with nothing to look forward to until summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034607 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 13:15:24 +0000 ChristelJ 2034607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous dress, and lovely boots, too. Hopefully you will have many more occasions to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034573 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 11:05:47 +0000 Anonymous 2034573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For us it's normally still mild for winter solstice, Jan and Feb are the bitter cold and still dark months. Its not til spring equinox theres any noticable difference to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034570 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:59:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2034570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The winters are pretty mild in my part of the country which is North, more like some of your Southern states ( not as warm as SoCal or Florida though). It is much colder in our South Island where the Southern Alps are. It does RAIN a lot and so can be dreary. We don’t get snow in my city, so when there were a few tiny snowflakes a number of years ago ( maybe 10?) it made the news! And you are right about the dragging on part. I am happy when we get to 21 June (winter solstice) so that at least it will get lighter after that even though 2 months of winter to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034568 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:53:24 +0000 RobinF 2034568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress, I love it on you. Fun detail on the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034564 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:45:51 +0000 Anonymous 2034564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress-but too bad about the shop closing! Winters in the Southern Hemisphere seem to be much milder than ours, but the months that don't have any long weekends just drag on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034552 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:05:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 2034552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, they are a Kiwi brand: Scope clothing. Outlet store about 1 km from my home But the bloke is old, the owner, and will be retiring. I asked him if someone could take it over, he said he was in negotiations to maybe sell the Scope label and the people in China he works with ( for decades he says) would be happy to work with someone else. Just as a business owner myself I felt sad if he just closed down but I suppose he has done his time, made his money and needs to move on with life... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034549 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:03:57 +0000 Brooklyn 2034549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I feel well disposed to them right away because they have a schnauzer on their website </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034548 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:03:54 +0000 kkards 2034548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great dress...love the "suprise" in the back </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-dress-challenge#post-2034545 Wed, 12 Jun 2019 09:58:18 +0000 Brooklyn 2034545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find Jenni.

Work, work, work, recently in NZ ( 1-3 June) had our last long weekend (celebrating the Queen’s birthday, even although her actual birthday is in April) and no more until our Labour Weekend late October. Oh well.<br /> I have given this dress challenge a go anyway. Dress is only second wear, Scope brand on sale at outlet store last November for $20- was too hot until recently.<br /> Scope dress, 2018, second wear.<br /> Minx “button up” boots, 2011, 60th wear. Now $6 per wear as were my most expensive boots ever at $359, still are.<br /> Earrings from market 2014. I also added my fave black Scope jacket later, duplicated that 2018 and 54 wears now. </p>
