(I've learned to duplicate them in the same season). Hope you find a similar pair. Maybe the NAS?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820394 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 13:33:58 +0000 Tanya 1820394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your input, everyone.</p> <p>Mirta, I appreciate your efforts.&nbsp; it does not look like the Ara shoes are available anywhere in the US online, but I may find them in real stores.</p> <p>Angie, you are very kind, thanks ( *blushing*).&nbsp; Sadly, I can not duplicate the shoes, as they are 4-5 years old and thus long sold out.&nbsp; I am hoping to find a somewhat similar, more current version, though I don't quite know what that should be.</p> <p>Aquamarine, sorry that your responses keep disappearing.&nbsp; I think that you meant to post this one on my other thread, but&nbsp; it doesn't matter, I totally got what you mean.&nbsp; Thank you for the input on the Theory blazer, I am planning to start a "blaze length lab" thread sometime in the near future when&nbsp; muster enough time and energy to take gazillion pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820384 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 12:38:58 +0000 Aquamarine 1820384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My response keeps disappearing! Apologies if it shows up 3 times grrr.</p> <p>Great first week Tanya! My favorite is 2, because of the tie-waist blazer. So not boring! It will be fun to see you put your own stamp on corporette wear, with your innate stylishness.</p> <p>I don't mind the length of the Theory blazer, but I'm wanting to see the shirt tucked in to really assess the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820379 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 11:19:40 +0000 Susan 1820379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!<br />I can identify with the footwear dilemma. &nbsp;Was out just yesterday looking for a replacement for sandals that are showing their age, but it's hard to find anything that can take the place of a real favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820278 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 00:14:43 +0000 Angie 1820278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the striped scarf, and how it complements the patterned shoes. Softens the black. And you had me with the pretty dress (of course, you did!). Perfect for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>SOOO fun to see your style shift with new dress code shift, Darling Tanya.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can you duplicate those shoes?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820180 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 15:00:04 +0000 Mirta 1820180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to find a link to them in an online store in USA but no success... However seems there are many retailers offering the brand in USA. I don't know if the brand is known to you, it's a German brand offering comfortable footwear: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ara-shoes.com/en">https://www.ara-shoes.com/en</a>. Maybe you can look them up by style name - Ara Paris 30 mm, Noralite 3,0 (reading from box) and they are from collection SS 2017. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820164 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 14:03:14 +0000 Tanya 1820164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your input, ladies.&nbsp;&nbsp; I will try the BB dress soon, as soon as I settle on my NAS budget and figure out my shopping priorities.</p> <p>Mirta, those are great shoes!&nbsp; Would you mind sharing a link to them, if there is one, and if not, what is the style name? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820132 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 11:09:42 +0000 skylurker 1820132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, love the double bows : scarf/belt, and the twist of the curved hem.<br /> I hear you on shoes, these ankle straps shoes were all the rage a few years ago but they're a rare find now.<br /> The Brooks Brother dress looks very, very promising for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820130 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 10:22:59 +0000 Mirta 1820130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, double entry amended... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820129 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 10:21:59 +0000 Mirta 1820129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, I'd like to find something like that for work, although I'd prefer a lighter colour. As for shoes, I suggest these from Ara, I have them and they are both pretty and very comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820128 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 10:18:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 1820128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lovely dress Tanya. I feel for you on the shoes. Despite looking last summer I couldn't find any replacement for my 2009 red sandals. They had just broken again in this pic so got glued AGAIN. They have done 7 summers! I hope you can find some new cute sandals with a low heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820114 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 09:16:13 +0000 Mirjana 1820114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Tanya, I like cobalt tote, complement perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820110 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 09:00:13 +0000 Amy Isabella 1820110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this dress on you Tanya. I adore shirt dresses and am also coveting that gorgeous navy Brooks Brothers dress..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820105 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 08:45:31 +0000 lozz_oz 1820105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a smart looking shirt dress. Its always sad when a favourite pair of shoes are no longer wearable - I'm sure something else will replace them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820027 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 00:19:05 +0000 Tanya 1820027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much UmmLila and Becky!</p> <p>UmmLila, your new navy dress is gorgeous, but definitely too casual and too short for my workplace - such dresses are always shorter on me due to my uber-long torso.&nbsp; I am coveting the navy Brooks Brothers dress Greenjeans posted earlier today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820024 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 00:14:33 +0000 Becky 1820024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very professional! I'm always sad to see super comfortable shoes in their last days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820023 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 00:12:33 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1820023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very tall and elegant here. I hear you on the navy -- I see so many black dresses and say to myself, "if only that were navy." I do have a James Perse navy shirtdress new to me this year, and I love it, but it's very casual and probably not the best for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-630-summer-dress#post-1820006 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:36:42 +0000 Tanya 1820006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by the blog post this morning, I decided to wear a dress for the first time to my new job.&nbsp; ( I wore Sloan pants the rest of the week, and will post those outfits a bit later tonight).&nbsp;&nbsp; I bought the dress fairly recently, but it has been Angie's pick a couple of years ago - it is a pretty modern classic shirtdress by Cynthia Steffe called Maya.&nbsp;&nbsp; I found it at TJ Maxx in black, and couldn't be happier with it.&nbsp; I would love it even more if it were navy, so I will keep my eyes open for a similar dress in navy/ink color.<br />I combined it with my old trusty black&amp;white mini-wedges, and a complement of cobalt KC tote&nbsp; and cobalt/white striped silk J Crew neckerchief.</p> <p>These little Kelsie Dagger black &amp; white wedges were one of my best shoe purchases ever - super comfy, go with almost everything and much more interesting than solid black.&nbsp; This is their fourth year, and sadly their last - they are getting really worn out.&nbsp; I would be very grateful for replacement/upgrade suggestions - maybe something similar with a low block heel?&nbsp; Completely flat flats do not work for my feet. </p>
