Beautiful dress and it looks great with the flats.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1793025 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 11:45:04 +0000 citygirldc 1793025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RunCarla - I'm growing it out just because I've never had longer hair, but it does a lot more work. I always prided myself in having a hair "style" and now it's like everyone else's at work. I do like the shorter bob and am considering it although my hair has big waves too. I have those same hairdos save son my interest account. </p> <p>Jenava - sorry to have problems with your bike commute. I also have to deal with crazy bicyclists, pedestrians, and cars that refuse to "see" you. I only have a 3 mile commute and of the 3, the 2 miles is within danger zone. Hah!!</p> <p>BarbaraDiane, Angie, Joyce B , Shevia- thank you.</p> <p>JenniB - I guess we are our own worse critics when it comes to hair.</p> <p>Penny - I didn't realize you live so close to me. I have gone to Current Boutique on occasion. There's one a few blocks away from me.</p> <p>Lisa Reyes - aw shucks. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1793002 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:26:20 +0000 Lisa Rayes 1793002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing.&nbsp;<br />This dress is perfectly matching your personality.<br />Really it's an adorable choice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792947 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 03:26:31 +0000 Penny 1792947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress - and I bet it will look great with tights for cooler temperatures. My favorite trench is from the consignment shop Current Boutique (Alexandria location) - perhaps the one in D.C. would be worth checking out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792941 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 03:15:46 +0000 Jaime 1792941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look and lipstick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792923 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 02:35:52 +0000 Joyce B 1792923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792916 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 01:38:38 +0000 Jennib12 1792916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress - looks so comfy, yet pulled together! I hear you on the hair front. I've been trying to grow mine for a year and am so tempted to chop it! I think your hair looks good, not frizzy. Perhaps we notice our own frizz more?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792902 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 01:07:16 +0000 Angie 1792902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute look.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792866 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 23:54:01 +0000 Barbara Diane 1792866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, that's horrible!<br />Citigirldc, I like the dress and the outfit a lot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792845 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 22:57:18 +0000 Jenava 1792845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those shoes in distressed metallic...they are beyond comfy and flattering!</p> <p>You are lucky you can get away without having the change when you bike commute. &nbsp;it makes it so much more appealing!</p> <p>I may end up working only 2.5 miles from my house. &nbsp;HOWEVER, commuting would require riding through rain and wind, over hills and more hills...PLUS, now new since last I commuted, one section of the bike train is encompassed by a homeless encampment. &nbsp;a female rider was accosted on the trail just last week...SIGH. &nbsp;so lame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792838 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 22:32:32 +0000 Carla 1792838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a style in mind during your grow-out? That can help you stay goal focused. Is there a specific reason you wanted to go longer? On the other hand, if you are ambivalent, returning to your ( signiture) short do might be the thing . Short does seem to work with your ( active) life style. </p> <p>I've seen short French bobs - Amelie style, as being a 2017 fashion mag trend that might suit you. I wish I could do them, but I have too much curl and volume </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792835 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 22:02:53 +0000 citygirldc 1792835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy. I do like vintage but DC does not have good vintage clothing stores like they used to back in the 80s and early 90s. Most of them are consignment shops. &nbsp;I'll keep a lookout though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792827 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 21:48:56 +0000 Anonymous 1792827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great dress and sounds easy to wear. I have a very similar black trench from Gap via thrift store. It is a favorite. If vintage is ok, you could try consignment shops or thrift shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-dress#post-1792812 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 21:34:05 +0000 citygirldc 1792812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray! it's warm enough to wear a dress without tights. &nbsp;I've been shopping recently and a few items that were needed in my closet were dresses. I found this LOFT dress on sale for a great price so I had to have it. This LOFT dress with its a-line shape suits my figure well. It's stretchy enough to hide the lumps, and I can wear it on my bike commuting to work (plus leggings for modesty purposes).&nbsp;</p> <p>New items: <br />#1 - Loft dress and shoes <br />#4 - Frye flats (new from Ebay)<br />#6 - Kate Spade bag</p> <p>old items:<br />#7 -&nbsp;Raincoat is Nine West and really old. I'd love to find something similar and vintage-y. Any suggestions?</p> <p>#5 - warm weather = humid = frizzy hair. Ack! &nbsp;Short hair seems really tempting.</p>
