The dress was from an Ann Taylor outlet a couple years back, and has held up better than I'd expected; the jersey is <i>just</i> starting to show signs of wear, which makes me a bit sad! I shall just have to baby it even more than I already do ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1253283 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:19:47 +0000 Angie 1253283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>You are fably dramatic the Aida-Way.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would wear this look head to toe with my green specs instead of the necklace.

I bought it at Wallgreens, but it seems to have been discontinued since then&nbsp;(and the replacement line doesn't get good reviews). Here are some listings for it on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dbeauty&amp;field-keywords=covergirl%20natureluxe%20muscat" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a>. It is a very lovely rich, warm red.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252772 Thu, 15 May 2014 23:46:27 +0000 Mona 1252772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, thanks for sharing that tip. Which brand is this lip balm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252771 Thu, 15 May 2014 23:45:35 +0000 Aida 1252771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Dustt!

The crazy-stripes made me feel super happy,&nbsp;so high likelihood&nbsp;you'll be seeing it again&nbsp;^^</p> <p>Mona, the red is a highly pigmented tinted balm that behaves just&nbsp;like lipstick, but it's sheer; this one has a slightly matte&nbsp;+ slightly frosty finish, and three layers gets it to the opacity you see here which still isn't fully opaque. I do have a truly opaque red that I wear for a&nbsp;<i>really</i>&nbsp;bold effect, but it's mostly reserved for events because it looks a bit odd without additional eye makeup. I stick to sheers (whether tinted lip balm, lip gloss, or lipstick)&nbsp;since I don't wear any other makeup besides mascara, so they help me keep a balanced sort-of-natural look.</p> <p>LL, thank you for the wonderfully visual comment, you've got such a great eye!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252403 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:23:11 +0000 citygirldc 1252403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta love black and white&nbsp;stripes and those sandals are to die for. Perfect outfit for a warm day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252400 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:20:23 +0000 Neel 1252400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress Aida!

The juxtaposition of the deco-architectural necklace with the large, graphic&nbsp;stripe of the dress balanced with the more flowy&nbsp;drape of the skirt portion of the&nbsp;dress and the softer pattern in the same black/white on the shoe... perfection!</p> <p>Seriously, this is my favorite outfit of yours that I've seen --and I think all your outfits are fantastic. It is drama to perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252259 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:00:48 +0000 Karie 1252259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your summer dress looks so cool and comfortable, perfect for an office with no A/C. I also like how you describe all the horizontal elements in your outfit, and that you include your hair and eyebrows in the equation - I would have never thought of that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Those ankle strap shoes are beauties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252257 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:48:44 +0000 Mona 1252257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a drama queen ;)). Love the bold black and white dress with matching clutch. Is this a red lip gloss or red lipstick? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252247 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:43:53 +0000 Anonymous 1252247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, bravo! I echo what Rabbit said... your accessories/finishing-touches make it so interesting and, yes, dramatic.

I'm happy for you for finding the shoes; they are just perfect with this outfit, lending a nice dose of elegance. The dress is lovely and I like the drama of the accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252105 Thu, 15 May 2014 02:53:16 +0000 jackiec 1252105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! You are right about eyebrow adding to the horizontal stripe look - how insightful! Ooooh loving those shoes. Will keep watch to hear how comfy they remain in the longer haul. Great buy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252092 Thu, 15 May 2014 02:38:54 +0000 Jaime 1252092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to collect your collection and oh, yeah, you look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0513-all-the-stripes#post-1252079 Thu, 15 May 2014 02:32:26 +0000 Aida 1252079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A dramatic outfit utilizing <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/05/13/ten-ways-to-add-drama-to-your-outfits" rel="nofollow">Angie's recent post's tips</a>: I've got numbers 1, 3, 4 (sorta), 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 working here&nbsp;but it feels very normal for me. I had this outfit planned at the start of the week, but I think it illustrates quite well how I use so many of those ideas daily.</p> <p>Another gloriously warm day and my office which has no AC, has been slowly heating up since we've had consistent warm weather for a couple days now. Today I went extra simple in terms of pieces though each has an interesting cut&nbsp;(a favorite warm-weather dress, a bold necklace, and trendy flats),&nbsp;but went all-in with stripes/lines to create visual interest. I've got them everywhere: on the dress, the strap of the shoes, the necklace, the clutch, and even the screw-top studs have a line across them. Pulling my hair back also emphasizes two more horizontal elements, my brows and lips, but this effect was unintentional; I just didn't have time to wash my hair this morning ;)&nbsp;I chose bright red lipstick to keep up with the graphic vibe (plus it matches <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0507-cherries-wide" rel="nofollow">my nails</a>), and the circular screw-top studs because their incongruous round shape would draw a little more attention to my face.</p> <p>Happy to report that these new flats were pretty comfortable, and that the strap doesn't rub funny. They seem to run quite large. I ordered the smaller of my two usual sizes, and even these are a bit big; I may have actually fit into a further half size down, but kept this size because these are sandals for me so I wanted to accommodate any foot swelling due to heat. I'll have to test them out on a more walking-heavy day to see how they do, but for now I am <i>so happy</i> to finally have my black ankle-strap pointy shoes after a year of searching! I'm even happier that they've got a healthy dose of white in them.</p> <p>Available items collected below. Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome.</p>
