I love seeing your own made pieces. I particularly like the top in #5 worn with the layered skirt.</p> <p>ps. I'm looking forward to talking sewing when we meet in Seattle at the gathering :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1322221 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 16:48:13 +0000 E 1322221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that dress! All of your outfits are just so cool &amp; you always look like you. I'm very impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1322181 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 16:09:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1322181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, RB, I'd like to see some of your me-made looks! Thank you for your compliments. It sounds like we have a lot in common.</p> <p>Angie, I'll wear the linen skirt today or tomorrow. Have to figure out how to style it. Oh, and I think the SWs are not going to work for me. They were way too tight yesterday evening. But I'll keep them a few days and see. They are gorgeous, but the fit and comfort will have to be excellent for me to keep them. </p> <p>Janet, thank you. I love your style; you have that artist's eye for line, proportion, and color.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1322102 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 14:39:30 +0000 Janet 1322102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are really so consistently fab in your style. Everything looks easy but polished, and your color palette is perfect on you.</p> <p>And you make me want to drag out my sewing machine and actually learn how to use it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1322077 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 14:20:04 +0000 Angie 1322077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see your new linen skirt, Sharan. And since we cannot guanrentee a hot Summer in Seattle - it's wise not to over-sew for hot weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love that you love your new SW's. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1322033 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 10:53:42 +0000 RB 1322033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker I love how effortlessly put together you look in all of the outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>In particular it's great to get see&nbsp;work outfits for less formal environments, which is similar to the work environment I have. Also, as someone &nbsp;who has a wok wardrobe which is about 40% me-made I love that&nbsp;you have a great eye for matching fabric and pattern for the me-made components of your wardrobe. I've already filed the skirt away to mull over knocking it off.</p> <p>And finally that dress looks great on you - looking at it on the model I wouldn't consider it, but seeing how you have styled it makes me think about trying styles like that.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1321977 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 04:19:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1321977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the low waisted dress!&nbsp; The drop waist is underutilized, I think, and it looks great on you.&nbsp; Love the denim outfit, too --- great combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1321953 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 03:25:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1321953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm glad for the hot weather, too. I just finished a linen skirt and will wear it soon. Wish I could get in the mood to make summer clothes ahead of summer weather, but that just doesn't happen. </p> <p>Shevia, thanks for the shorts appreciation! I like to wear them when I can. Some summers here, they don't get out as much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1321945 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 03:17:30 +0000 Jaime 1321945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are terrific! I have a soft spot for the long shorts outfits, but all of them are winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1321941 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 03:06:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1321941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everybody! <br />Mia, this is not my wildcard dress. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildcard-styling-attempts" rel="nofollow">That one</a> is much wilder (for me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-summer-dress-other-outfits#post-1321519 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:06:54 +0000 Angie 1321519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at those gorgeous legs.

That tank is amazing--thanks for giving us a closer look. I love the simplicity of today's outfit (1 &amp;2) as well as the softness of the last one.

But I didn't really want to go that casual, so I opted for my sling-back Mary Janes, which are getting a lot of wear this summer, because they are probably my most comfortable shoes. <br />Then when I got home, I realized I could have tried Angie's other version, with the Munro loafers, which I have in black! (Smacks forehead) Ah, next time.</p> <p>A couple of other outfits are shown here, worn earlier in the week.</p> <p>The outfits:</p> <p>1-2 (worn to work today): olive and cream print low-waist dress (Halogen); olive 3/4-sleeved cardigan (Halogen); black sling-back Mary Janes (Think!); crystal-studded disk bracelet with pewter leather strap; silver pave disc earrings (Lucky); taupe-gray leather hobo bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles).</p> <p>3 (worn Wednesday for morning off): gray chino shorts (Eddie Bauer); denim blues tank with print mesh knit trim (made by me); jean jacket (AG, Robyn); gray and cream belt (Annette Goertz); gray wedge sandals (DV by Dolce Vita)</p> <p>4-5 (worn Wednesday afternoon to teach sewing class): layered denim skirt (Tribal); denim blues tank (made by me); stone hemp jacket (Layers Squared); gray wedge sandals (DV by Dolce Vita); taupe-gray leather bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles)</p> <p>6-7 (worn Tuesday for a day off and piano lesson): gray chino shorts (Eddie Bauer); cream and gray-blues floral tee (made by me); cream belt; ivory sandals with antique gold ring detail (Naot); taupe-gray leather bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles)</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Your thoughts and suggestions are always welcome.</p> </p>
