It looks like fancy side darts in front to me. Just wondering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969778 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:27:36 +0000 Sara L. 969778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your patterned black and white top with the red skirt.&nbsp; My work is more casual so I don't need a jacket every day.&nbsp; I end up in skirts/dresses since they are cooler, sandals, and sleeveless tops.&nbsp; I try to avoid pants in the summer and only wear crops or capris if I can get away with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969773 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:24:30 +0000 catherine 969773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your interpretations consistently look much better than the Pinterest photos from whence they originate.&nbsp; I don't know how you do it.&nbsp; Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969708 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 11:06:10 +0000 Krista 969708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love every aspect of this outfit, MaryK! I have never met a polka dot I didn't like, so this top is out of this world for me!<br /> I can't really answer your question as I don't work in the summer, but if we have a heat wave before summer starts, generally I make sure I'm wearing sandals, skirt and short sleeve top. Slingbacks work as well - i need to feel like my footwear is open in some way. I also stay away from scarves during the heat as they just make me feel warmer, even in A/C, so i wear short sleeve cardis a lot if i know Im going to be in and out of cold. I also try to stay as matchy-matchy as possible as this helps me feel "together" even though I really feel like I'm melting!</p> <p>Ps. Sorry for all of the grammar mistakes - autocorrect is killing me today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969684 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 09:04:19 +0000 CocoLion 969684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a genius at converting blogger looks&nbsp;to suit your own style and wardrobe! &nbsp;So I'm going to do an Angie and crown you Princess Pinspiration! &nbsp;And&nbsp;Queen T-Strap too while I'm at it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969657 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 07:30:07 +0000 goldenpig 969657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love black, white and red and I love the matchy matchiness of the white dots on the shoes and top.

I honestly could have used a sweater with my outfit today. But the converse is I broiled walking across campus when it warmed up to 27C this afternoon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969480 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 02:00:36 +0000 Anonymous 969480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer heat makes dressing well very difficult. My secret weapon is silk or nylon mesh ( make sure it's not polyester).<br /> You look cool, lovely and ready to take the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969471 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 01:52:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 969471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how the top and the shoes play so nicely together. And red just makes everything better :)</p> <p>The A/C in our office actually died today (it was +32 Celcius so plenty hot) and my white jacket had to come off. But I think my dress on its own is office appropriate. I try to layer so that I can be comfortable if the A/C is blasting cold or can take off a layer if it's not working.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969467 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 01:50:28 +0000 annagybe 969467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-72-black-and-white-and-red-all-over#post-969457 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 01:43:20 +0000 Angie 969457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You tantalizingly gorgeous creature!!! </p> <p>To answer your question, I don't feel the heat all that much, so I guess that helps.
