I ordered a bomber from NAS, too (the Mural) and I can't believe how much I love it. Wow. But, I have no idea how to style it, so thanks for the inspiration! Not that I ever wear dresses these days... : ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-983450 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 03:44:56 +0000 Sveta 983450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-)&nbsp; &lt;cheering from a sidelines&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-983380 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 02:33:46 +0000 Beth Ann 983380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like Deborah looking slightly askance at the bomber trend.&nbsp; I think the graphic quality of this one, however, really gives your dress a modern touch and adds structure to the softness of the dress.</p> <p>I'd love to see wear the bomber in a casual trouser outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-983335 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 01:49:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 983335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki &amp; Sveta - my sincere apologies for not getting back to this post until now. Thank you so much for your comments.</p> <p>Sveta - it's because of YOU that I tried this outfit and will continue to work with this bomber. It's starting to feel more "me" now. Crossing my fingers for you too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-982215 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 01:27:59 +0000 Sveta 982215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, it works perfectly! I wish you wear this bomber more often, it is such a great and fresh style of the jacket. I squeal with glee every time you post it!&nbsp;<br />I was scouting The Bay in a hope to find one as well but no luck. Now my fingers crossed NAS bomber is not too short! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-982195 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 01:11:06 +0000 Vicki 982195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah, it works and you are the bomb!!! &nbsp;I also adore your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981857 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 17:50:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 981857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - oh I'm so glad you mentioned the proportions work to your eye. I was worried that the length of the bomber might be off to work with this dress.</p> <p>Elizabeth - oh believe me, it's hot here. But not in my office since they repaired the A/C. It's quite chilly inside. So the jacket comes off when I step out the door.</p> <p>Suz - I think I'm going to cry a little when this dress finally falls apart. It has been a total workhorse for me for 3-4 years and worn for every season. They had it in black when I bought this one and wish I had purchased it as well - I love the shape and comfort factor.</p> <p>Joy - I actually got this clutch and sent it to Ingunn in Norway. If they still have it, I can certainly grab one for you. It is very inexpensive but great Danier quality.</p> <p>Ruthe - :)</p> <p>Peri - oh my goodness...you've got me blushing. Thank you so much. Believe me, I can do PLENTY wrong (lol!) but hopefully it's getting less frequent thanks to YLF help.</p> <p>Rebekahphoto - yep, these shoes are definitely as comfy as they look. They were a 20 out of 10 on the comfort scale right from the start. The brand is Fugitive by Francesco Rossi. In fact based on the comfort and quality of these, that is a brand I'll be looking to again.</p> <p>Thank you all so much for letting me know the bomber/dress combo works. It's fun to try something new and different </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981816 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 17:07:12 +0000 rebekahphoto 981816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the pattern and shape of that dress on you, and I think it works with the bomber. My first leather jacket (in the 80s) was a bomber and I loved it, but I tend to gravitate more towards a waist defining shape these days (since I seem to have lost mine a bit...)</p> <p>love the shoes! They look like they might work for me as a low, light colored shoe! are they as comfy as they look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981802 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:54:42 +0000 Peri 981802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you are one of the fabs I think can do no wrong. I love the casual dressy blend and creativity you have. I rarely need to dress up, but if I did I'd want to look like you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981711 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:56:18 +0000 Thistle 981711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific with that dress!&nbsp; YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981706 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:43:44 +0000 ruthe 981706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy your WIW's a lot. You always look so good, and I enjoy reading your posts as well. Your use of phrases, "I was inspired, I started with, hints at waist emphasis, brightness and a swipe of lipstick.

Those sandals work well with the bomber and the dress. Can we give you our orders for that white Danier clutch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981647 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:06:02 +0000 Sara L. 981647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bomber works well with the dress. I think the belt works the way you envisioned to provide waist definition under the bomber. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981586 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:25:15 +0000 Suz 981586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love this dress so much. It's one of my faves on you. That pattern is Helmut-esque and awesome. It also reminds me vaguely of the CM floral moto...I am not entirely sure why.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway - I think this outfit totally works, and once again, that workhorse shoe/ sandal is in play. What a good buy that turned out to be for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981555 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:02:08 +0000 Anonymous 981555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the reasons Deb said I think it works well.

I think it works very well over the dress, and I find the proportions very attractive. I also think the accessories are all perfect. The dress is quite a strong piece but the jacket really takes centre stage here yet the outfit is "balanced". I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bomber-with-a-dress#post-981484 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 11:27:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 981484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta posted a beautiful bomber jacket that she has ordered from NAS and it inspired me to try and wear my black/white bomber more. I've only worn it a handful of times and I think it's because of the waist surrendering silhouette a bomber provides But that doesn't mean it can't be flattering on me, so here goes.</p> <p>I started today's outfit with my abstract print wrap dress, which has black, purple, two shades of blue, taupe and cream in it. I added a thin black belt for some waist emphasis - not a wide belt as I didn't want the belt to be too much of the focus on this outfit. Then I added my black and white bomber jacket on top. I think it works because the white in the jacket pulls out the light cream&nbsp;in the dress and the thin black belt works with the sleeves of the jacket and still hints at my waist despite the bomber silhouette.&nbsp;</p> <p>I then added my bone/silver sandals and my white clutch for more "brightness". A swipe of pink lipstick and I'm ready to head out the door.</p> <p>So does this work to your eye? Is this how to wear a bomber with a dress? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Bomber: Material Girl<br />Dress: Attitude by Jay Manuel<br />Belt: Sears<br />Shoes: Fugitive<br />Clutch: Danier Leather </p>
