I think I will definitely try that on these sleeves.&nbsp; (Or just use safety pins as Jane suggested).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680384 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 07:06:04 +0000 Jane 1680384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely orange dress - looks great! </p> <p>I tried Angies trick - it was perfect but one morning I hadn't time and did something similar with safety pins which also worked too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680376 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 06:38:11 +0000 skylurker 1680376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 and #5, you look sensational in both dresses. Love how you accessorized the navy dress with florals and burgundy in particular.</p> <p>I also like #2, you look ready to twirl happily in your white skirt, I like it less with the jacket on, I guess the layering gets too complicated for my taste.</p> <p>Angie posted a trick to keep sleeves scrunched<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/15/a-small-stitch-keeps-sleeves-scrunched/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/.....scrunched/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680242 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 00:42:02 +0000 Angie 1680242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HOW ADORABLE ARE YOU. My word. I can just eat you up in #4 and #5. That's how to rock a casual frock. Killer and love the bag. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680202 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 23:18:22 +0000 Aida 1680202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooo to wearing the bright orange dress! Still loving it (so bummed it didn't work for me). The light shades in #1-3 look super on you. Especially liking the metallic gladiators with it. Navy dress also looks good, but also more like a casual dress to me. Not entirely because of the length but more the style and how the fabric appears through the screen (looks like a knit but that could be wrong). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680196 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 23:05:19 +0000 Suz 1680196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new dress on you, Diana &nbsp;-- that is glorious! You look sensational in that colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both other outfits are also terrific. The grey and white is so soft; the black so graphic. It amazes me, but you can do it all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680171 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:45:20 +0000 AJ 1680171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the simplicity of #4 with the fun floral tote and cute burgundy sandals. Very summer chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680160 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:29:13 +0000 Tanya 1680160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your version of the grey/blue/white outfit, Diana! The orange dress is very flattering on you, and I think that the length of the<br /> Navy dress is globe for casual environment, as labs tend to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680138 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:03:55 +0000 Meredith 1680138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may be bright, but I think orange looks great on you. I've always admired your orange pants, and this dress looks perfect for summer. Nice version of the grey/blue/white ensemble, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-bluegreywhite-ensemble-2-new-gap-dresses#post-1680120 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 20:15:51 +0000 Diana 1680120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-3: Another take on the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2016/06/10/ensemble-light-blue-white-pearl-grey/" rel="nofollow">light blue, white, and pearl grey ensemble</a> from last Friday.&nbsp; (My first version is <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-whole-weeks-worth" rel="nofollow">here</a>.) This was actually the first combination that popped into my head when I saw the blog post, but it was too cold on that day to wear it.&nbsp; But it's warmer this week, so I thought I'd give it a try.&nbsp; Full white skirt, grey petal hem tee, silvery gladiators, white/snake bag, and light blue and grey striped jacket.&nbsp; I enjoyed wearing this, although I did have a couple of Marilyn moments as it was windier than expected!<br />(Benetton skirt, ??? tee, Tulle jacket, Naot sandals, Halogen bag).</p> <p>4: A navy jersey dress I bought recently at the Gap.&nbsp; I wore this to work, although I felt like it was borderline too short (unlike the orange one, this one didn't come in tall!)&nbsp; I might save it for non-work days. It's very comfy and has pockets.&nbsp; I have two other navy dresses anyway.&nbsp; (I know, I know... but I do wear them all!)<br />(Gap dress, Kate Spade bag, Naot sandals).</p> <p>5: Finally got around to sewing up the placket of my orange shirtdress, also from Gap, and am wearing it today.&nbsp; I like the look of the sleeves rolled up like this but they kept falling down, so I've given up and am just wearing them long right now.&nbsp; Someone at work commented that my dress was "very bright".&nbsp; LOL.&nbsp; <br />(Gap dress, Born sandals, Kate Spade bag) </p>
