The dress, *that* blazer, the studded shoes. Every single piece looks and feels totally you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662301 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 07:54:04 +0000 CocoLion 662301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> <p>And OT to this thread but related to your comment on my last thread about crops: I would not add you to team full thighs... I always look at your legs and admire their good lines. So please do not add this to your list of concerns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662299 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 07:46:52 +0000 goldenpig 662299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a great winterization of a summery dress! I love wearing things out of season (winterizing summer dresses, wearing fall dresses with summery accessories). This looks totally you with the blazer and pants! Hope you get some better weather soon though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662210 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 04:02:55 +0000 Aziraphale 662210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have I mentioned that I want to steal your blazer? It's awesome. The whole outfit is great!</p> <p>And I hear you about the weather. So far it's a repeat of last summer. Most of North America is sweltering, while the PNW and coastal BC is cold and rainy. This went on for all of June and July last year, and didn't warm up until August! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662192 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 03:34:03 +0000 ManidipaM 662192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning and spot-on for weather *and* lifestyle! Una, this should go into your 'UWP uniform' folder. I think Rae said it best --- this is your kind of LBD.</p> <p>Re: the weather, isn't poor rainfall sort of expected for the US this year, given its a La Nina one? Or is it worse than you might expect with La Nina? Sounds like our kind of coastal Indian 'water torture' though, Jonesy's description of 100+ heat *and* humidity </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662164 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:33:47 +0000 Jaime 662164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great and I am going to give equal credit to that jacket, which is cut so well it elevates everything you wear, and you for putting this together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662153 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:03:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 662153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my....I need to fan myself....this is SOOOOOO FAB!!! I have the sneaky suspicion that this dress is going to turn out to be a real workhorse for you Una! And that jacket fits you like a dream! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662121 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 01:24:48 +0000 Anonymous 662121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The proportions work so well on you. Thumbs up and please push your weather toward Kansas. It's supposed to be 106 tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662103 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:57:17 +0000 nicoleb 662103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear a drop waist dress like a rockstar! Super jealous! Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662044 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:59:35 +0000 annagybe 662044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662043 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:58:02 +0000 Echo 662043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And THIS is how you transform a summer dress to fall/winter! It looks great! And I am very envious of your temperatures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662011 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:15:33 +0000 Katiepea 662011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your bold style with this look and how you make it work. The proportions are excellent. Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-662007 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:10:43 +0000 Aida 662007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is perfectly styled for the summer weather you have. The proportions look spot on to my eye, and I am loving the shape of the blazer's hem with this! I know you don't wear much jewelry, but I would like to see a bold metal cuff with this :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661861 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:33:23 +0000 Chrizzle 661861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look! I'd wear that in a heartbeat. </p> <p>I respectfully disagree with jayne - I think there's plenty of black in the dress to tie it in with the jeans and blazer. The top of the dress is mostly shades of gray, white and black, and the dropped skirt is dabs of color and black and gray. I wouldn't even realize it was a summer dress if I hadn't already seen photos of you wearing it that way. I'd think it was an all-season tunic top. </p> <p>Perhaps my eye is just more adjusted to the look of blending summery fabrics/colors with darker, heavier elements because I also live in a place in which it can be chilly and damp at this time of year. (Had to wear a jacket to watch the fireworks last night, and my daughter's feet were freezing in the sandals she had on.) Typical summer combos don't always work, so we have to get creative with how we wear our summer clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661832 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:14:38 +0000 Lisa 661832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun dress, love the bit of color at the bottom. We are in the mid to upper 90sF right now. But I have to wear heavy sweaters and long sleeves at work because the a/c is too cold for me. My summer clothes sit unworn all week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661824 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:07:28 +0000 Diana 661824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! What a versatile dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661822 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:05:41 +0000 Heather 661822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TOTAL transformation. Truly this is when you know you have purchased a gem. </p> <p>Are there studs on those Danskos? Total BA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661811 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:57:17 +0000 Kiwichik 661811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Proportions are good and I like the overall vibe of his outfit. As it really is winter where I am feels good seing some less summery looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661801 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:50:56 +0000 jayne 661801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, it is cute. But I felt the dress was too summery flowery for black. Sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661779 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:34:00 +0000 modgrl 661779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I die!

I love how you adapted your warm-weather dress. I just LOVE that blazer. Cool studded Danskos, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661729 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:30:43 +0000 rae 661729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect in every way! This is your perfect LBD (little *bright* dress) - dresses up, down, goes from HI to Alaska without batting an eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661719 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:25:15 +0000 Jonesy 661719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like how our lawn usually is in the rainy spring, but not this year. Many lawns are brown and dead right now! We haven't had substantial rain for over a month! I just read that over 55% of the country is in a drought state, the most on record. Intense times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661718 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:23:41 +0000 catgirl 661718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I would kill for some sunny dry weather, Jonesy! Our lawn is out of control because there's never a good day to mow it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661714 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:22:39 +0000 Jonesy 661714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! I am weirdly envious of your cool temps--it was 101 here yesterday in Michigan, which is a record. Crazy hot with crazy humidity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-75-winter-in-summer#post-661709 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:18:38 +0000 catgirl 661709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, an apology for my prolonged absence. We came back from vacation straight to a holiday/camping week, and I've had limited computer access and no noteworthy outfits to post at all.</p> <p>It's back to work today (sort of).... I know the rest of you in the US are experiencing a heat wave but it's 50s and rainy here. I figured since it's my climate, I may as well dress for it. I wanted to try this drop-waist dress (which was perfect in Hawai'i!) with skinnies and a topper as was suggested here. Not sure if these proportions work - feedback welcome!</p> <p>BCBG dress, consignment<br /> Theory blazer<br /> old Gap skinnies<br /> Danskos </p>
