I'm glad you remember me! I really must get around to posting a couple of WIW posts, I've got totally out of the habit these past few months. The thing I love most about the dress is it is so comfy. I'm not sure about you, but comfy is a fantastic bonus when wearing it out and about.</p> <p>I'm SO glad to hear you are enjoying being a mum of three boys - like you, I absolutely adore my little cherubs. I'm in shock that my boys are now 6, 8, 10 - where is the time going? I'm starting to feel old! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-866011 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 10:37:29 +0000 An 866011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your kind and useful comments!</p> <p>Beth Ann - style goals?? That's a very good question and probably something I could give a bit more thought to. I generally like simple, clean, structured clothes. I like solid or geometric type patterns. I love stripes and polka dots not so much floral. I'm trying to incorporate a bit more color. I have a wardrobe full of black which I don't think is particularly flattering on me. I recently noticed that the baby health nurse tells me I am looking tired (which I probably am!) every time I wear black!! I would also like to inject a bit more of a relaxed, fun, and maybe edgy / trendy (I hate that word) element into my wardrobe. I love the idea of having a minimal but very functional wardrobe that doesn't need much thought on a day to day basis but obviously a lot of planning goes into that type of wardrobe which I haven't done to date.</p> <p>BJ - we had a couple of cooler days last week but another hot week coming up - low to mid 30's although the mornings and evenings are starting to cool off a bit. I'm looking forward to some cooler weather now. It's been a long, hot summer. </p> <p>Kiwi - the dress is Jacqui E. Do you have Jacqui E in NZ? I have quite a bit of their clothing. The quality is sometimes not great but the fit seems to work really well for me. From memory I think you said you are a pear? I'm also a pear so the dress might work for you also??</p> <p><a href="http://www.jacquie.com.au/shop/en/jacquie/dresses/casual/tie-front-dress" rel="nofollow">http://www.jacquie.com.au/shop.....ront-dress</a></p> <p>Katiepea!! How cool that you have the same dress. You must post a pic! I'm sure it looks superb on you. I think the colors work really well on a brunette (which you are aren't you?!) Katiepea - I remember you telling me about the fun of having 3 boys when I said on the forum that we were about to have our third. I get it now! And I'm loving having 3 boys and wouldn't have it any other way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-866008 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 09:39:20 +0000 goldenpig 866008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely dress on you!

(Jacqui E? Oui? ;-)) Seriously.</p> <p>It looks fantastic on you! I know every time I wear mine I get complemented on the colours and I just pray that the tie at the waist distorts the "horizontal line" effect.</p> <p>I only hope it looks half as good on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865924 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 05:39:49 +0000 Kiwichik 865924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great. Love the waist and those sandals are so cute but not as cute as your accessory on the last photo.</p> <p>What brand is the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865683 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:19:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 865683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice - love your accessories:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865423 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:23:46 +0000 bj1111 865423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>your baby is the best accessory evah.</p> <p>ps. that striped dress is so beach ready. is it cooling down yet your way, an? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865418 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:21:03 +0000 catgirl 865418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a flattering cut and print on you!

This is the type of dress I'm looking for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865368 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:25:41 +0000 Sona 865368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh I like. flattering. and a great MOTG outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865298 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 15:09:00 +0000 kellygirl 865298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress! The stripes are perfect on this. I think the dropped sleeves make your shoulders look great. You look balanced and so stylish in this! LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865296 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 15:07:27 +0000 Tanya 865296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty dress! Love the colors of the stripes and I think it flatters your shoulders. And gorgeous accesesory you have there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865284 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:56:21 +0000 Beth Ann 865284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great dress for a get together! This dress has a nice length and an easy shape. I think the sleeve line is perfect, and the uneven stripes keep the eye moving, rather than widening you.</p> <p>What are your style goals and how do you feel in the dress (What's your happy factor)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865228 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:09:44 +0000 Ingunn 865228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a lovely dress! The uneven distribution of light and dark stripes, and the various widths make it work very well with horizontal stripes on you, I think. You have a very pretty shape that is enhanced here. I really like the sleeves, too, your shoulders don1t look narrow at all to me. I'm so looking forward to wearing outfits like this in a few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---more-stripes#post-865221 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:25:29 +0000 An 865221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I wore tonight to have a casual dinner with our friends at their place. I've been trying to add a few more dresses to my wardrobe over summer. </p> <p>#3 - fully accessorised !!!!</p> <p>I'ld be happy to hear your feedback as to whether this style dress suits me. Again, not sure whether I can get away with the horizontal stripes? I'm also a little unsure whether this sleeve style suits my narrowish shoulders? </p>
