I'm not sure if it's one of your style words or not, but it's quite avante garde. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825954 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:47:15 +0000 Lyn D. 825954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it both ways too, Deborah. I would be very handy to have the versatility for in the air-conditioning and outside weather conditions during the Summer.<br /> Great alteration job to the perfect length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825946 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:31:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 825946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never thought you'd hear this from me but I prefer it on its own - it looks cooler round the neckline somehow. Great alterations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825742 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 17:29:16 +0000 Asingh 825742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks good both ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825601 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:09:16 +0000 Tina.b 825601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the asymmetry of the dress on you Deborah and it works perfectly with your style. I have a black Helmut Lang dress with almost an identical neckline and it is one of my favourite pieces.</p> <p>Great look for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825593 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:04:04 +0000 Angie 825593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the frock both layered and un-layered! Perfect for a very hot day sans a/c. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825589 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:02:10 +0000 Anonymous 825589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! You do asymmetry really well. (Have you ever had an asymmetrical haircut? Just curious). Love the neckline of the dress and the fact that you altered it to make it more wearable for every day. Those sandals are one of my favorite styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825558 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:40:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 825558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect layers and I love the interesting hemlines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825511 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:12:00 +0000 Beth Ann 825511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah -- you are a reminder that I will someday be warm again!</p> <p>Looking great in this arty look.

I think you were able to give new life to an old dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825482 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:41:50 +0000 Anonymous 825482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderfully stylish for a hot day. I'm so glad to see you wearing dark colors in the summer! I love to do this because I feel cooler in black than in white in the heat...like I'm in the shade.<br /> I love that sleeveless topper as a way to stay cool and still layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825466 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:53:20 +0000 Jaime 825466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like it with the layering and like it without also! Great job hacking the hem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825464 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:38:20 +0000 Anonymous 825464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress and I love the layering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825457 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:55:09 +0000 krishnidoux 825457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool dress. And made even cooler by the add-ons you chose. Sandals are absolutely perfect with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825453 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:45:49 +0000 Karie 825453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty dress, and shortening the hem was a great way to get more wear out of it. I like it both with and without the topper. Without the topper, and with the hem tied in a knot, it looks comfy and casual. The topper gives it a dressier look. Love those earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825452 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:44:50 +0000 Anonymous 825452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new life for an old dress. Love the asymmetric neckline, would like to see the dress without the knot too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825450 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:38:45 +0000 Anonymous 825450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! I really like the unusual shaped neck and hem on the dress. I think the draped topper adds an extra dimension. Your addition of just minimal jewelery seems spot on to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black#post-825447 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:12:17 +0000 Deborah 825447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Inspired by Stephanie at Oddessy Home I couldn't help myself but go for an all black ensemble today.</p> <p>Once again it is warm but thankfully a little cooler and we are expecting 29 today.</p> <p>The dress is like a matte satin that is crinkled. It was more of a special occasion dress before I hacked the length recreating the asymmetrical hem around knee length. The right side of the hem (my right) is actually tied in a knot. I can unknot and this creates quite a dramatic uneven line.</p> <p>Because I can't help myself, I layered a sleeveless, draped topper, and added black flat sandals. Mesh watch, black and white earrings and no other jewellery.</p> <p>This creates a similar silhouette to another dress I posted recently but IRL is actually quite different given the textures and hem.</p> <p>Good reuse of a old dress, or am I deluded :)</p> <p>Thanks so much for looking.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
