This looks wonderful. Not too short at all. Love it with and without the belt but I think my preferences would be for worn loose as a dress with booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-699092 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 01:28:29 +0000 MsMary 699092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG love!

I just got home from running to the grocery store, the hardware store and the animal shelter - and I got a compliment on my dress at every single place I went! And, I felt cool (as in termperature) and was having fun wearing it. (in answer to your question, Claire!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698976 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 23:15:15 +0000 Suz 698976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa!!! This is STUNNING! </p> <p>I absolutely adore those colours on you, and this is the perfect length. Fresh, cool, sophisticated and a bit fun with the flat booties. Marley, you look gorgeous. </p> <p>I guess this is what SYC is really all about!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698972 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 23:11:05 +0000 Jenava 698972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I don't think it's too short; I think the lose shape balances the short length in a very nice way. I think you could just pop some tights and a long sleeve top under this for fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698965 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:58:36 +0000 sarah 698965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it unbelted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698957 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:52:59 +0000 catgirl 698957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks absolutely perfect on you - I prefer it as a dress to the belted tunic style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698952 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:45:45 +0000 Anonymous 698952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it better as a dress unbelted. It looks really great on you. Too short? NO WAY especially not with those legs!</p> <p>On another note: I can't believe you shopped your closet for 2 years. Impressive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698897 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:49:58 +0000 Anonymous 698897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me? You are rocking that frock !!!<br /> I love it with the booties. So awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698893 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:47:30 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 698893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is too short either. I think it looks really nice. You could also try a looser lower sitting belt with it. The looser style of belt wouldn't pull it up much but would give a nice alternative look.</p> <p>Gorgeous colors on you and worth trying to incorporate into the rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698890 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:44:19 +0000 Mochi 698890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, this dress is magnificent. I particularly love the heathered color, the striking texture and the freeform shape of it. You've paired it beautifully with the cognac accessories. Wear it more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698888 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:42:48 +0000 Mita 698888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very fun. Would love to see the summer look with sandals. Love the winter look. How does it look belted in the summer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698882 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:34:58 +0000 Debbie 698882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i wish I would find a treasure like this in my closet.

It's not too short at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698845 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:02:58 +0000 rae 698845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is too short at all! You have killer legs, and you are covering up a bit with the boots, too. The oversized fit looks great short. Love love love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698844 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:02:57 +0000 CocoLion 698844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too short Marley. You look great and I think your present styling looks more "now" than the one shown in #4. I think you got an item 5 years ago that is still very much on trend. The oversized fit, the print, the cowl neck, the zipper. It looks like you are a great spotter of trends if you got this 5 years ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698836 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:58:08 +0000 kellygirl 698836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, you look absolutely fabulous in this "dress." I think the length is just perfect and I love how you paired it with the studded boots. I can't believe you forgot about this baby--it looks SO fresh and pretty on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698834 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:55:43 +0000 Jonesy 698834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is this anything but FAB?! How is this too short for you, fabulous Marley?! I love it worn loose like this, with the boots--you look amazing. Perfect for the heat, so chic, and completely appropriate at that just-above-the-knee length. So great to see you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698830 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:54:29 +0000 Anonymous 698830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! I love this on you Marley! And it's not too short AT ALL. It's right at the knee without a belt and I don't think there's an expiration date on that length. It's really beautiful and I love that it's silk. The flat boots make it perfectly appropriate. How did you feel in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-syc-outfit#post-698822 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:50:20 +0000 Marley 698822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this top/tunic/dress on sale at Nordies at least 5 years ago - but have not worn it for the last couple of years. But, as my SYC stretches into almost the end of year 2, I am beginning to rediscover long lost friends that I had previously tucked away in the back of my closet.</p> <p>This is a very shapelss silk dress, multipattern purple, blue, gray and black that I had always worn as a tunic before, belted and with knee-high boots. (see pic 4) The style didn't ever feel like "me" - but I knew that it worked (that is, it was acceptable!) and so I wore it several times that one fall several years ago and then just forgot about it.</p> <p>So, here is is resurrected as a dress - I know it is too short for me - but, we are finally getting some hot summer weather and I wanted something that didn't stick to my body and this seemed like the prefect solution. It has a funky cowel neck that you may not be able to tell from the pics and it has a large exposed blue zipper that goes the full length of the outfit in the back. I gave it the sit-down test and because it is so full, there was not a problem there. In general, I would classify a dress this length as being too short for me, but today I decided to give myself a break because of the heat - and also because I'm not doing much today but running errands. I tired to show in the pic 2 the stack of bracelets that I am wearing - they vary from hammered silver, to leather, to titanium to a rhinestone snake. The boots are short, flat Nine West - with studs!</p> <p>Any ideas on how to improve this? Or, other things I could try with the dress/tunic?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
