It looks fresh! But you are not used to seeing yourself with all that bared flesh, LOL! I agree a lighter toned sandal might be nice, if you have it. Or even red!! Or, dare I say it, fuchsia?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-921128 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:16:24 +0000 Glory 921128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This does not read frump. Love this print and colour on you.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-921123 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:10:54 +0000 Nicole in OC 921123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that color on you! <br /><br />Maybe what Sara said and try a lighter toned shoe?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-921122 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:08:38 +0000 pil 921122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is wonderful on you Thistle - and yay for spring! What about playing around with a different different color cami? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-921023 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:18:35 +0000 K. Period. 921023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nothing frumpy at all! You look great in this dress. &nbsp;Maybe you are just getting used to looking so incredibly fabulous that you are fine tuning your fabulous-viewing-skills and picking up on the fact that you want lighter shoes with this? The sandals are lovely, but they come up&nbsp;high on your leg&nbsp;and are a dark color, both of which make the eye stop abruptly with them. Nothing wrong with the shoes--I really like them and I&nbsp;love this kind of shoe with shorts or something well above the knee. &nbsp;You probably are just feeling the call of spring saying lighten up the footwear. &nbsp;You reached for sandals, which makes sense. But your eye is telling you your light flats, which are a little more refined, are more what you want with this dress. You still look incredible!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-921017 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:12:22 +0000 Kiwichik 921017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the wrap dress - you are the Queen of Wrap Dresses (pretty sure you've heard that one before). I think the sophistication level of the dress doesn't quite synch with the casual vibe of the shoes but only in a really minor way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920909 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:29:55 +0000 Sheila 920909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, sometimes we see a photo of us standing still and the clothes we're wearing just don't seem to cut it. I think it's because when we are standing still, they lack movement, animation, vitality, spirit, whatever you call it. I bet you look great in this outfit when you are wearing it because you are so full of life! And that's what it takes, baby! Now go have some fun in your very cool green dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920881 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:37:11 +0000 Scarlet 920881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am agreeing with the others, I don't see frumpy at all. I think it is a great dress for you. I don't mind the dark shoes although light could also be good. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920877 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:28:12 +0000 Angie 920877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Frump factor. What are you smoking, Thistle?????? <br /><br />:)<br /><br />You look as beautiful in that dress now as you did before! Now banish that silly frumpy thought from your pretty little head this instant, or I'll need to fly over and sort you out. xo<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920839 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:43:01 +0000 Mona 920839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such lovely dress with beautiful colour and shape for you, Thistle and pale is definitely pretty. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920834 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:28:26 +0000 rae 920834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, LOVE the gladiators with this! Very modern looking. You rock that shade of green! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920776 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:10:32 +0000 Susie 920776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Echoing the others, the color is&nbsp;very pretty on you and the shape is quite flattering. I do think a lighter shoe would be perfect. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920774 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:09:26 +0000 Astrid 920774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress is lovely, I don't see any frump. I agree with the others that lighter sandals might be better, but these work too. I only own black sandals at the moment and I wore them last summer with everything (and my just as pale legs).<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920773 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:09:06 +0000 lyn67 920773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dress is not frump at all, but has to be rather worn with lighter coloured/tan for you or grey), comfy&nbsp;1"heel(or wedge) low wamp shoes, or sandals. <br />That will help a lot! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920749 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:50:03 +0000 Anonymous 920749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This green is so pretty on you, Thistle. &nbsp;And pale is the new tan! &nbsp;I agree about a lighter shoe. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920734 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:35:18 +0000 Parsley 920734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, I sure don't see any frumpiness here, Thistle! You look great in that dress, and the color is really pretty on you.<br /> And hooray for bare legs and sandals! Let's hope spring is here to stay.<br /> I agree with the others that a lighter sandal would look good, but that's a minor detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920724 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:30:45 +0000 Anonymous 920724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you look terrific and not frumpy at all, but perhaps camel or nude shoes would lighten the look a bit more? Really, that's just nitpicking, though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920720 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:28:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 920720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I tried on this dress just the other day Thistle - it is so lovely and I was definitely tempted.<br /><br />I don't see frump factor at all - the dress is incredibly flattering on you both in color and in fit. I think Sara's suggestion of a lighter shoe/sandal might help. I find the black a bit jarring with this dress.<br /><br />Yay for bare legs - and pale is pretty for sure! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-%e2%80%93-spring-green#post-920718 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:28:35 +0000 Anonymous 920718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think lighter shoes would look better too.

Wearing a spring green Maggy London wrap dress, Clark Sandals, and a Talbots cami to celebrate.&nbsp; And bare legs!!&nbsp; Yeah, they glow in the dark. I am going to stick by mantra “pale is pretty too”!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be honest, not feeling it in this dress that I loved such a short time ago. Be honest, is the frump factor in play here? If so, is there anything I can do to de-frump?</p>
