The shoes are fabulous, I love them. Leggings are great. The dress, and it may be the photos, just looks a little bland. I am wondering if jeans instead of leggings might create a better line?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609980 Wed, 02 May 2012 04:28:08 +0000 Jenava 609980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a Hue legging that I just got in "pumice" that might work...the ones I found were capri length, but I think amazon had the full-length version still in stock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609948 Wed, 02 May 2012 03:34:53 +0000 Beth Ann 609948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Denise's idea of taupe leggings, IK. And I LOVE the yellow shoes. Also, what about Nurse Ratchet in Clockwork Orange? I mean, don't you sometimes think you work with a bunch of crazy men? If they're a little, just a little, afraid of you it might just work in your favor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609662 Tue, 01 May 2012 23:45:31 +0000 CocoLion 609662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a lighter, tan or taupe color for the leggings will make this work. I like the proportions, the grey is just a little dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609656 Tue, 01 May 2012 23:43:23 +0000 Anonymous 609656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couldn't some of the boys you work with use a psycho nurse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609652 Tue, 01 May 2012 23:38:16 +0000 Anonymous 609652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man, you had me prepared for something awful. This is fine! And I love the straps on those shoes! Was the dress bleaching a happy accident or DIY? It turned out really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609579 Tue, 01 May 2012 22:04:58 +0000 JennyAnne 609579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm I like the dress and shoes but not the leggings s o much. I understand the need for them, though. Can you wear some kind of hose? The dress is really pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609502 Tue, 01 May 2012 20:36:13 +0000 rae 609502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Call me Dr. Demento, but I think Psycho Nurse sounds like a fun fashion persona. The right designer could do a whole line on this theme! Then again, I've said the same about Bride of the Mummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609419 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:19:53 +0000 Diana 609419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Psycho nurse would need to have white shoes, not those fab Fidjis. (Come to think of it, maybe that's where my aversion to white shoes comes from?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609418 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:17:35 +0000 Isis 609418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a good way! I'm not so fond of the leggings, but this is a perfect dress for a hot Texas day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609416 Tue, 01 May 2012 19:15:25 +0000 ironkurtin 609416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, you guys are nice! As the day wears on, I'm beginning to feel like a psycho nurse... the dress is very pale. But maybe a pyscho nurse in a GOOD way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609322 Tue, 01 May 2012 17:20:08 +0000 Angie 609322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light shoes! And I don't think the leggings look that bad </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609299 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:49:11 +0000 rae 609299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it as-is... maybe the leggings look darker IRL and that is what throws the proportions off? You could try a super cropped jacket to try and create a higher leg line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609292 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:31:35 +0000 Diana 609292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress and the shoes! I think you're right, though, about the leggings. Maybe longer ones would work here? Maybe with a little scrunch down at the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609290 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:30:11 +0000 Meredith1953 609290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with ManidipaM that swapping the light shoes for something darker with make it look even better! Cute dress and I love that neckace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609287 Tue, 01 May 2012 16:27:05 +0000 Mo 609287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I had 2 days in a row of 'not quite' outfits so far this week. Can't bat 1000, right? You look fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609185 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:29:28 +0000 ManidipaM 609185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For what it's worth, I think you look pretty fine! I'd just switch out the shoes to something darker, toning with the leggings and bookending your hair, though they are smashing with the dress itself. Which, by the way, sounds like quite an achievement! LOVE your necklaces. So pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-1---well-this-doesnt-work#post-609162 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:14:06 +0000 ironkurtin 609162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like each of these pieces but don't think they really all work together. Proportions are off with the leggings - but if I take them off, I will freeze my knees off in here. Well, live and learn.</p> <p>- Sundance Catalog depression-modern frock (bleached from a dingy blue with brown polka dots into a sort of cream with tan polka dots)<br /> - Eileen Fisher linen crop leggings<br /> - Fidji yellow pumps<br /> - assortment of handmade necklaces</p> <p>I need something on my legs in arctic office, thus the leggings </p>
