You do have some great ideas. I would also like to see it with a dark blouse underneath. </p> <p>I have a sort of convertible maxi-skirt or midi-dress thing with kind of a tube top that can either be worn up dress-style up over the chest or folded down as a skirt waistband. I bought it to wear as a skirt (or maybe as a beach coverup dress style), but now you've given me another styling idea for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-601207 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 13:03:13 +0000 Diana 601207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, it's actually not bunchy but this blouse is both quite thin/sheer and fitted. When I wear it without something over it, I need to pin between the buttons to keep it from pulling badly over the chest. I'm not sure it would work with a more substantial or stiff button-down, although I am going to try with a blousier sheer top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-601203 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:55:11 +0000 Suz 601203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very clever, Diana! I would love to see the dress layered over a black shirt, too...or you could go wild with a pop of colour! What a great idea. </p> <p>And you always look so spectacular in your beloved teals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-601128 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 06:10:51 +0000 catgirl 601128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fab look. Do you feel bunchy in the chest area? That's what would steer me clear of trying something like this - possible fussing with layers not lying right. What a great way to save an orphan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600981 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 00:37:30 +0000 san 600981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are too cute and always look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600978 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 00:33:40 +0000 Kristin L 600978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very, very creative! I love the different layers. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to pull it off, but it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600903 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 21:59:01 +0000 Diana 600903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I know this look is not for everyone.<br /> I really like the idea to try a darker blouse under the dress as well... perhaps I will try it with my sheer navy blouse next. Or maybe even a printed one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600719 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:26:12 +0000 citygirldc 600719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfits. it's got an cool edge to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600655 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 13:55:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 600655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely brilliant!!! You need to wear this a lot Diana - it looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600634 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 13:21:59 +0000 Meghan R 600634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute! I'd be interested to see how it looks if the layers were less high contrast -- with a darker shirt, for example. It could be fun to play with different options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600631 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 13:14:48 +0000 Traci 600631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look! Another great thing I find about layering button ups under dresses is you don't have to worry about the button up gaping all day long. You get the great structure of the collar and neckline and the bust is perfectly covered. Win win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600629 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 13:03:03 +0000 harmonica 600629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>super cool!

I like the pop of color as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600425 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 02:07:23 +0000 Kiwichik 600425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks wonderful over the blouse &amp; I'd love to see this look with a pair of high heels. No need for a pop of colour the dress &amp; blouse deserve to stand on their own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600390 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:49:33 +0000 Aida 600390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh I LOVE it over the blouse, they have great juxtaposition with each other in so many ways! Also loving the lighter colors on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600389 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:49:05 +0000 Carole 600389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Diana. The blazer is cute with it too. Seems like a great way to get a little more wear from this fun dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-042012---unconventional-layering#post-600388 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:47:03 +0000 Diana 600388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This asymmetrical dress is difficult to wear on its own, as it's strapless so there are issues with bra straps and potential wardrobe malfunctions, so I usually wear it as a skirt or with something over the top. Today I decided to try something a little different and layered it OVER a white blouse. Bonus is that the blouse collar helps offset the straight across top part of the dress, which is not the most flattering on me on its own. Added my turquoise jacket for a pop of color.<br /> Wearing Olivia Moon dress, Nic+Zoe jacket, Kenneth Cole blouse, Naot sandals, Etsy necklace. </p>
