I think one of the best ideas I've learned here at YLF is that sometimes the clothes just don't get you, not the other way around.</p> <p>@lyn* - I'll let you know how the dress works for me. It doesn't feel cheap like a few other reviewers said. Or atl least not like cheap rayon that I've felt.&nbsp;It's definitely lightweight, but the seams seem pretty sturdy and the very back has a bit of elastic that allow for some give. I think I'll need to work the zipper teeth over with some pencil lead, but that's par for the course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292868 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:10:59 +0000 Anonymous 1292868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your WIW is such a great combination of retro and modern!</p> <p>And I agree with everyone else. Like the cardigan and the blue dress, the red &nbsp;one less so. Although I do think the top of the red dress really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292856 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:00:37 +0000 Adelfa 1292856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit today and love the blue dress. As for the mustard cardi, I'm going to be a bit of a spanner and say I'm not sure the color works with your skin tone, but it could be the lighting,</p> <p>As for the red dress--the pic in combination with your Batman comment is my laugh of the day! Thank you for posting it because it's such a perfect example of how sometimes it's really not you, it's the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292831 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:42:24 +0000 Aquamarine 1292831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup...I agree with everyone else. Everything looks good but pass on the red dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292830 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:41:49 +0000 lyn* 1292830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popped in to say I agree with the popular opinion </p> <p>Lemme know how that blue dress holds up - I wanted to get it too; but it's rayon so that makes me go :| usually. If it works for you I might get it in ... September.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292826 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:38:55 +0000 Windchime 1292826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems we're all in agreement! I like the contrast the mustard cardi gives to the dress in #2. And the blue dress in #4 is wonderful on you! Like Suz said, it's elegant with just a touch of sexy.<br /> Aside from the fit issues with the red dress, I just don't think it flatters you. Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292818 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:26:16 +0000 Karie 1292818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 through #5 - gorgeous. The blue dress? Totally gets you. The red dress? Pack 'er up and ship 'er back - she doesn't get you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292807 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:11:25 +0000 Peri 1292807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love pics 2-5...and that is significant because I don't like yellow. But this way, on you...love.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have to say I don't love the red and black dress though. It's not just the fit...something about it looks kind of costumey. I think you can do better. And did...in the other outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292801 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:06:31 +0000 Kristin L 1292801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz and Ceit! That's the one that I was thinking was going to go back. I know I'm still a bit curvy on bottom, but the fabric on the red dress is pretty stretchy, so it's not too forgiving.&nbsp;I think I may need to put a dart or something in part of the blue dress, but I think that will be an easy fix.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292796 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:04:35 +0000 Anonymous 1292796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3 are adorable! The blue dress is great also. The red dress doesn't get you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292786 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 00:53:46 +0000 Suz 1292786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, you look absolutely adorable in 1-3. Love the sweaters with that top and skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also adore the blue dress on you. Elegant yet subtly sexy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do not think the red and black dress "gets" you so I would pass on it in favour of the blue. And enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr-1#post-1292776 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 00:45:42 +0000 Kristin L 1292776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I had to get out the door early, so I went with an outfit that had worked before. I went around for part of the day without the cardigan, but the top covers 90% of my shoulder, so it still works. I forgot my band-aid stick, but thankfully my heel has toughened up a bit.</p> <p>Pic 1: Cardigan -&nbsp;J.Crew Outlet<br />Top - Banana Republic<br />Skirt - Tommy Hilfiger<br />Shoes - Lucky Brand</p> <p>The following K/R's are a few Modcloth purchases. I'm on the fence, but I really want to hear some honest opinions about them. So, I'm going to do my best not to say&nbsp;how I feel about them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pics 2 and 3 - Honey/Mustard Cardigan. I've been looking for a yellow cardigan and was thinking that maybe a more mustardy yellow would work for me. It feels pretty soft.</p> <p>Pics 4 and 5 - Blue Dress. I decided to take a chance and try a new silhouette. I like the way the fabric feels, but not so sure about how it looks.</p> <p>Pics 6 and 7 - Red and Black Dress. Holy shape wear Batman!&nbsp;I wasn't sure if the spare tire I saw was just the mirror or if the dress really wasn't getting me. Several other ladies who reviewed this dress said the same thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, what do think about what should go back or stay? </p>
