And so glad you are keeping those orange wedges, such happy shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697730 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:04:40 +0000 Ingunn 697730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do, Jayne, albeit in a darker tone than the dress, and will try this at once! I feel that the white belt added too much contrast, but a brown belt will be more subtle. Thanks:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697722 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 17:52:58 +0000 jayne 697722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very very pretty...I loved the belted look also but wondered if you had a brown one...just to match the dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697713 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 17:40:35 +0000 Ingunn 697713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, belted it is then! YLF has spoken:) Thank you, ladies, I really appreciate the feedback. I agree with you, the look is a lot more finished with the belt on. Come to think of it, I also have a blue-grey blazer that might look good with that belt! The shoes have been on for six hours, but I needed to give my feet a rest now. The fit is fine, but they are still a bit on the tight side until they get more wear. I hope they will become eight hours walking shoes eventually. I really love them on my feet:)</p> <p>@Kristin: The gold necklace/bracelet is a brilliant idea. I'll do that if I consider this outfit for use outside the house! </p> <p>@RC: Thanks *blush*! I try to run a little a few times a week myself. Could be it. </p> <p>@Mo: I hear you on the LBD. It sounds very wise to change it for another. I'm looking forward to your pics!</p> <p>@Gaylene: Thank you! Professional and approachable is always a winner, particularly in my line of work:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697670 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 16:19:17 +0000 Gaylene 697670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress with the cardigan and belt. And those shoes really make the outfit sing. You look professional but approachable--a winning combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697639 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:45:48 +0000 Mo 697639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the belted look best!<br /> As for my dress today, I think I am opting out of the LBD. It is lined and then layered over again with mesh. That's already 3 layers before I add a cargo vest or other item to dress it down appropriately. In our temps, and being black, it just is too much!<br /> Going for the mod shift instead. Won't have pics for a bit (lazy sleep in Sunday morning schedule!) but I will post them as soon as I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697622 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:30:35 +0000 RunnerChick 697622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange and blue, just like Angie's blog! Such a darling look - Love the look belted! You have such great legs, Ingunn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697601 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 13:55:29 +0000 Midwest Girl 697601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it belted, and the orange shoes are a great accent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697589 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 13:13:44 +0000 Anonymous 697589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look belted a lot.</p> <p>Those shoes are really great, I think you will have a lot of fun with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697584 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 13:10:23 +0000 Kristin L 697584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple cardi and yellow shoes with the dress! I think a gold colored necklace or a cuff bracelet would look great with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-dress-a-week-august-challenge-3#post-697582 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 13:07:42 +0000 Ingunn 697582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my response to Mo's August challenge about wearing more dresses: </p> <p>Nice temperature today, around 78F and sunny weather! I decided to use my new orange wedges <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-orange-suede-mary-jane-wedges" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ane-wedges</a> which now are keepers, and I have this beige jersey dress with empire cut to pair them with. I also have a cobalt blue cardigan, thrifted from my daughter's closet, that I tried to add to the ensemble. I belted it, then unbelted again - I'm not really sure how it looks. I omitted the entire cardigan because it is too hot after all. Today I'm at home all day, doing a few preparations for tomorrow and some housework, so no makeup is needed. </p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing Mo's dress this week! </p> <p>What do you think about the belt? Any suggestions are welcome as always! </p>
