It looked very much like you were earing black skinnies and short boots, to me:-). But I like it anyway! Wow, both new pieces are TDF, and they are making a great job together! Love aditions of whites&nbsp;it is looking &nbsp;as&nbsp;edgy as the black when&nbsp;&nbsp;in your wardrobe!

What would it look like under a black jacket or dramatic open cardi?&nbsp; Not in place of what you have here, but as an additional outfit option.</p> <p>I know well how much work goes into the music for a Good Friday service.&nbsp; Easter may seem like a bigger deal, but spiritually and musically, the two services are intricately linked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467540 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 08:54:25 +0000 Dimity 1467540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way the collar of the dress peeks out over the V neck, and the zips on the jumper add a nice dash of interest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467519 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 06:10:16 +0000 rachylou 1467519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the white dress. It's new and different but in keeping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467518 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 06:03:15 +0000 AM 1467518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its great. And it really reminded me of Una's sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467492 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 03:13:10 +0000 Echo 1467492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit, and I love how the sweater and the boots can take what is potentially a spring/summer dress into fall. The only thing I would change would be to pair it with black tights, as the skin showing is a bit jarring with tall boots, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467474 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 02:41:53 +0000 Jaime 1467474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me already, and can only improve with Angie's tweaks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467465 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 02:16:43 +0000 Deborah 1467465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I had the idea of pairing the dress and sweater for a little while (waiting for the cooler weather) and then I saw your post yesterday and that reignited the idea. &nbsp;I love your sweater by the way.</p> <p>Thanks AJ! &nbsp;I will play with different footwear. &nbsp;I did like the 'rugged' element but I do see what you mean.:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467463 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 02:15:23 +0000 Rambling Ann 1467463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pendant is gorgeous.

I like the concept very much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467448 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 01:43:17 +0000 Deborah 1467448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I am wearing a black slip dress under the white dress but I can see now that it's not long enough. I hadn't noticed. The fabric is quite weighty and substantial so I'm think it can work this way but I need either a longer slip or black tights perhaps to fully "block out" the white? In the close up you can see the fabric isn't flimsy so I think in part it may have been the flash on the camera?</p> <p>I will definitely be trying with leggings and ankle boots..thank you x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467444 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 01:30:40 +0000 Angie 1467444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see the expanse of white, Debs. I love that part.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the dress might be a little thin to wear in this way - which is emphasized by the heavy jumper and your skin peaking through the white fabric. Might be fine in person though. Some things just don't photograph all that accurately. But you mentioned that you felt great in the combination, which is important.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are you wearing black shorts under the dress? Have you tried the combination with&nbsp;leggings or skinnies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-white-dress#post-1467438 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 01:06:33 +0000 Deborah 1467438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very loose interpretation of Angie's Black, White and Light Blue ensemble:)  I didn't think of it until after I had worn it.</p> <p>It's Good Friday here and we have been to church where my DH did a wonderful job putting together a very heartfelt and meaningful service.  Home now preparing lunch for the three of us.</p> <p>I bought this dress about a month ago.  It's a bit of a departure for me but I really felt it still fit my style persona.  The dress/tunic is a simple, tencel  sleeveless shirt dress with a slight A Line skirt.  I had actually had something like this on my wish list for some time and had passed up a few that were close but not quite right. This one is by Mesop. (Mesop Free Ride Dress availble in Chambray also - see #5 - I think it sold out in white)  Mesop is another Australian label (a little similar in aesthetic to Metalicus) that I love, but this is the first thing I have bought from them.  </p> <p>I knew I wanted to wear it with black and have been scanning blogs and Pinterest for ideas on how to wear a white dress with black:)  Then a couple of weeks ago I bought this black sweater and viola, i was pretty sure they would work together.  So gave it a whirl this morning.  Added my otk boots and I know you are wondering were the blue is right??  My necklace is silver with blue see #4.</p> <p>I would love to know if you think this works.  I did try it with shorter boots but I really like the black on the legs coming all the way to the dress.  This felt fantastic to wear and I do envisage repeating this.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and commenting.</p> <p>And remember... not too much chocolate this weekend;)</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p>
