Love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188612 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 13:48:13 +0000 Suz 1188612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The styling on this is amazing, Anna, especially for your purposes. So much fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188603 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 13:34:19 +0000 El Cee 1188603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, you did an amazing job of styling this dress. So creative and fun! The ankle socks with heeled sandals are the icing on the cake. And, as an aside, I adore your necklace. That being said, I am not sure that the color of the dress flatters your lovely complexion. IK had a good idea… could the garment be professionally dyed? Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188580 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 12:52:52 +0000 Janet 1188580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did a pretty great job of salvaging the dress, and it does seem quite occasion-appropriate, but I agree with Una that it's not my favorite thing of yours. Still, cheers for a job well done on styling a difficult piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188572 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 12:47:27 +0000 Joyce B 1188572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very nice. It is not as fun as your other looks but it is nice and formal looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188485 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 06:37:01 +0000 rachylou 1188485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works for me. I think the shoes seal the deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188471 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 06:12:38 +0000 Deborah 1188471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have worked the dress beautifully. My comment would be that I'm. It sure of the colour. Perhaps it's pickier than it looks on screen but I would say it's your best colour. I do like the styling tho and you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188459 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 05:58:53 +0000 Ariadne 1188459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely like it. &nbsp;The necklace and the ankle socks really make the look.</p> <p>Do you know about this site? &nbsp;It might sell there, for more than you'd get at consignment--if you still don't love it:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://thegeneraleconomy.blogspot.com">http://thegeneraleconomy.blogspot.com</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188456 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 05:55:36 +0000 Jenava 1188456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so this was not the dress I thought it was. &nbsp;The color isn't great for you, but it's PERFECT for this opera, and I do think you pull it off with the socks and shoes. &nbsp;I still think it's very Anna because it has a bit of whackadoodle fun vibe to it, with a strong point of view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188429 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 05:06:30 +0000 CocoLion 1188429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've salvaged this dress brilliantly. &nbsp;The white shirt underneath brings&nbsp;out&nbsp;that potentially difficult&nbsp;color in a flattering way. &nbsp;The necklace, socks and shoes make the outfit so fashionable. &nbsp;You are so talented Anna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188399 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 04:40:20 +0000 catgirl 1188399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All right, I'll be the dissenter - I like it okay and it fits well, but it doesn't wow me or seem quite in line with what I've seen and loved from you lately.&nbsp; Not my favorite color on you.&nbsp; Sorry.&nbsp; I certainly understand wanting to do something with it though!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188379 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 04:17:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1188379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was 19, I begged my teacher to let me sing Magda's big aria...."To this we've Come."&nbsp; Such a powerful piece --- and I definitely was not ready for it.&nbsp; She wisely gave me "O mio babbino caro" instead.&nbsp; But I still relate more to Magda pouring her broken heart out and speaking truth to power.</p> <p>I've never seen the whole opera, but that piece alone is worth it.</p> <p>Your outfit is perfect for the evening.&nbsp; I'm sure the cast and production designers would applaud your choice!&nbsp; Eastern bloc fashion with expert tailoring and quality!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188353 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 03:52:14 +0000 Karie 1188353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The socks and shoes make this work - I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188340 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 03:42:25 +0000 Catnip 1188340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and it looks like&nbsp;you.&nbsp; It's amazing how casual opera dress has become. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188338 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 03:37:38 +0000 ironkurtin 1188338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't think of anything nicer than snoozing while being serenaded. The dress fits you beautifully! Have you thought about dying it, or altering the neckline, or whatever, so you'd wear it more? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188329 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 03:14:29 +0000 Sarah A 1188329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The socks and shoes totally make the look work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188315 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 02:51:04 +0000 rae 1188315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it quite a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188309 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 02:28:43 +0000 Adelfa 1188309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Risky!

I like how ou have styled it -- you made it an Anna look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-37-opera-edition#post-1188294 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 02:04:20 +0000 annagybe 1188294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight I'm seeing The Consul. It was written in the 50's and is about confronting bureaucracy. It is also three hours long with two intermissions. I sincerely hope I don't fall asleep.&nbsp;<br />Anyways this is a Marni dress I bought years ago from a sample sale. I tried to consign it with the tags still attached. It did not sell. So I am trying to salvage it. I think I'm going for fashion blogger escaping from the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. It probably doesn't quite work, but I'm going solo tonight, so you'll have to let me know if it's off to the fashion gulag for me.<br />With Brooks Brothers button no-iron button down, Fallon mixed chain and rhinestone necklace, and Miu Miu platform sandals.<br />If I look tired it is because I'm exhausted. </p>
