Both pieces are lovely but not together. I think the dress would gorgeous with a short denim jacket. And those shoes are beautiful on your feet! Glad you have a duplicate in different color </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334733 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:11:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1334733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look tall and lovely as usual in this dress! I'd like to see it without the jacket--I bet it is stunning and not "boxy" at all. The jacket does cover the waist area of the dress, so I think that's what you're perceiving as a boxy look. A cropped jacket that stands away from the body a bit (revealing the waist) could work, or a soft short shrug--something that shows the waist definition of the dress. That's probably key, with the fuller skirt here.<br />Anyway, I agree that the jacket is terrific on you, too and look forward to seeing it on you again. <br />Those sandals are fab in this color on you, too. I wouldn't have noticed they were the same style as the tan ones I admired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334700 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 03:13:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1334700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps I just project a taller image. &nbsp;I am the shortest person in our family. &nbsp;My mom is 5'8", my sister is 5'7" and my brother is 6'3". &nbsp;My dad says he is 5'10" but he looks the same height as my mom. &nbsp;LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334696 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 03:09:54 +0000 Anonymous 1334696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said. I think the jacket is fab and that it is the floral on the dress that is preventing the two pieces from looking right together. A plain white dress may be different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334694 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 03:08:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1334694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love grey and dark red together - that would look fantastic on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334675 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 02:57:25 +0000 Janet 1334675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, the jacket looks great on you! I like the dress too, but I agree that the dress and the jacket are not necessarily made for each other. I really like those shoes too. </p> <p>And count me as another person who is surprised you are 5'5" -- somehow I've always thought you were my height, a couple of inches taller! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334674 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 02:55:58 +0000 Jaime 1334674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although the two pieces may not go together, each one is terrific. I love the dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334624 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:57:22 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1334624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it is unanimous. &nbsp;Thanks ladies.</p> <p>I saw the skinny pants I have in turquoise and bright navy at the store in the deep red that we are loving. &nbsp;I think perhaps this jacket will be perfect with them and a pair of booties - perhaps black patent ones. &nbsp;:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334622 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:55:55 +0000 Tanya 1334622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the previous commenters, I agree that both the jacket and the dress are great just not together.&nbsp; Love those shoes, so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334615 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:50:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1334615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can vouch for dianthus only being 5'5" - I've met her and it's true!</p> <p>I love those shoes on you. I think the jacket is a lovely fit on you and I like the dress I just don't think they go together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334600 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:36:12 +0000 Sveta 1334600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome shoes!<br />The jacket fits well but I think this dress is not the best to pair with it. Now one of your sheaths dresses would look fab with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334588 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:28:35 +0000 Kristin L 1334588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket and looks great on you, but I'm not sure about the jacket and dress together either.&nbsp;</p> <p>The shoes look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334586 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:27:21 +0000 Anonymous 1334586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing above. And there is no way you are under 5'5" . I still cannot believe it. &nbsp; &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334583 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:24:08 +0000 Anonymous 1334583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shoes really suit your feet.</p> <p>I like the jacket and dress separately, but I don't think they work together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334582 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:21:54 +0000 Suz 1334582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is terrific! I think perhaps it's just not the right topper for the dress....or the dress wants to go out without a topper, LOL -- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/06/16/topper-with-a-sleeveless-dress-dont-do-it-but-heres-how/">like Angie's blog post.&nbsp;</a></p> <p>The shoes look extremely elegant on you. And the fabric of the dress looks luxe as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---janets-jacket#post-1334576 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 01:14:33 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1334576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet listed the gibson jacket and I thought it would work for me since I wanted something with structure of a jacket but the softness of a cardigan. &nbsp;I like the fit of the jacket but am rethinking the dress. &nbsp;I feel like I look boxy in it.</p> <p>I have duplicates of these shoes. &nbsp;This pair is more grey and the &nbsp;other is almost a light camel. &nbsp;I like neutral shoes since I have fairly long feet. &nbsp;</p> <p>Critiques are always welcome. </p>
