I bought them in April 2012 while travelling in the US with the intent to wear them during my spring/summer (I'm in Australia). However I fell pregnant that September and by the time it was warm enough to wear them they didn't fit! The following spring/summer I was busy being a new mum and dresses weren't even getting a look in. I'm now counting down the weeks till spring 2014 so I can finally wear them! On the plus side I tried them on recently and they both still fit :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving/page/2#post-1307835 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 05:49:06 +0000 Sharon 1307835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great. And completely congruent with your current style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving/page/2#post-1307834 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 05:46:22 +0000 Beth Ann 1307834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dots are a great choice for you, Lyn, now, and apparently 3 years ago!&nbsp; It's terrific that this has the length you're loving now.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307807 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 04:51:01 +0000 lyn* 1307807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Karymk</b> - That's an interesting idea! I usually don't wear my clothes within 7 days of purchase because I have too much stuff!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Carmella</b> - I love dots!</p> <p><b>@ Suz</b> - I think you're excused from wearing your NAS stuff right away ;)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Gigi</b> - The dress makes me quite happy! I think I was ahead of my time a little bit when I bought it because it would have been maybe a 75% like back then as opposed to a 95% like now!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Firecracker</b> - I hope they work, but I'm glad you approve of the shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307780 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 04:01:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1307780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great! Those dots look so summery and fresh. The snakeskin shoes are a terrific counterpoint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307771 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 03:52:46 +0000 Gigi 1307771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm glad it stretched out! I don't have any super-duper-special-occasion wear in my closet, so everything I buy, I try to wear. Otherwise, like this dress, it gets shoved off to the side and I never think about it. And sometimes even if it still fits, your style has changed, and you don't want to wear it.</p> <p>Does the dress still make you happy? It looks like it is still your current style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307746 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 03:29:57 +0000 Suz 1307746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic dress on you! Glad you found it again!&nbsp;</p> <p>What Karymk says is interesting. I think there is truth to that. Although with the NAS you can't wear all the stuff right away, not if it is winter stuff. I do think you probably have to <b>WANT</b> to wear it right away or you'll never wear it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307725 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 03:15:54 +0000 Carmella Munguia 1307725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nice dress perfect i love polka dots too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307723 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 03:09:05 +0000 karymk 1307723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn i heard somewhere that if you dont wear a new garment within seven days you most likely wont wear it. So now i wear my new ckothes right away, like the vc lace pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307426 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 21:19:52 +0000 lyn* 1307426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! It was a really fun frock to wear today :)</p> <p>@ Glory - haha, I can talk about my problems with&nbsp;<i>shaving</i> too... maybe in off topic!</p> <p>@ AJ - That's a great idea! I think I have it in my winter closet.</p> <p>@ Sveta - I think a combination of&nbsp;<i>it was expensive</i> and&nbsp;<i>it is so white</i> and&nbsp;<i>it is so sharp</i> and&nbsp;<i>it has dots&nbsp;</i>and&nbsp;<i>what if it gets wrinkled</i> ... and all that kinda stuff. I actually don't even know if I've ever tried it on (hahaha)... oh boy.</p> <p>:| Yeah; I could have gotten a lot of wear out of it in the last three years. Oh well, no time like now to start making up for it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307414 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 21:11:04 +0000 gardenchick 1307414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it saw the light of day...looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-718---the-problem-with-saving#post-1307317 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 19:02:41 +0000 Karie 1307317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think this is a polka dot beauty!
