I'm not sure why...Maybe because the dress has a more casual vibe to match the sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2148207 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 12:59:02 +0000 pil 2148207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2148195 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 12:26:21 +0000 Anonymous 2148195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is my favorite, but they all work! You have a great dress collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2148178 Mon, 12 Oct 2020 06:14:01 +0000 kellygirl 2148178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to post and run. I wanted to get back to this and share some thoughts. DH was out of town for part of the weekend so I had some time to myself to do some closet editing and mix/matching. It was hectic but helpful. This exercise helped me decide that Cons will work as well or better than the white boot I was considering. (Yay!)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the affirmation, Kate and Nemosmom, regarding length. I think I prefer it when the top of the high top shows with a smidge of leg. Too much leg isn’t optimal for me. </p> <p>@Diana: Thank you! I can totally see you in high top Cons! They seem right up your alley. </p> <p>@slimcat: Thank you! I typically wear the black dress unadorned. It’s my throw on and go--requires no thinking. I have belted it but usually just leave it alone. Great idea to try it with a pendant--pretty soon I can wear it with a scarf!</p> <p>Thanks, Robin! IKWYM. I don’t know if I would have latched on to this if we weren’t in a pandemic. Honestly, it’s almost anything goes at the office these days...</p> <p>Thanks, Angie! You and Carla are my converse muses! Mine are leather too. I only have one fabric pair and they are printed so hide dirt. I would never buy canvas Cons in a light color--I have scrubbed more than my share of white Vans because they were DD choice of footwear since middle school. No more!</p> <p>Thanks, Jenn, Mary and Brooklyn! </p> <p>Haha, Shevia. I can see why you might have been confused! Thank you. </p> <p>@Suz: You bring up an interesting point that I had not considered. You may be on to something! I will keep that in mind. Thank you!</p> <p>Thank you, Citygirl, Bijou, Cardiff girl, lyn, Anchie! and Lieselotte! @lyn: Haha. I’m pleased as punch to be a runner up to Angie when it comes to Cons! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147610 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:14:52 +0000 Lieselotte Kander 2147610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking very sleek in all of these dresses, but yes, a little decrement in length and some from the width (only from the bottom) can really change their look. I like the choice of your shoe, and you carried all of these shirts in a very graceful manner.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147607 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:08:27 +0000 anchie 2147607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great to me.

You're our hi-top cons &amp;dresses Queen nr 2! (nr 1 is Angie of course:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147570 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 16:53:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 2147570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely collection of dresses,you look smashing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147514 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 06:46:00 +0000 Bijou 2147514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look good to me - my favourite is #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147510 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 05:03:33 +0000 Suz 2147510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahah, <b>Shevia </b>has it! So true. You look great in the Cons with dresses!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think what is bothering you maybe at times is a proportion thing - which is probably more imaginary than real, a factor of the mirror view vs. the photo (or real life) view. I do think they look slightly better on you with dresses that do not have a low V neck. Something about the higher shaft needing a slightly higher neckline for balance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147506 Wed, 07 Oct 2020 02:19:28 +0000 Jaime 2147506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first I thought you meant cons as in negatives. But these are all positives . Works on you with all the lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147486 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 22:13:50 +0000 Angie 2147486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, blast :(</p> <p>What size do you need? Have you checked ebay, Amazon, and Converse? I got these and they were "old new stock" and for a song. They are fleece-lined and very Wintery though, so not for Oz.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks for allowing the thread hi-jack,<b> Kelly.</b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147484 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 21:47:55 +0000 Brooklyn 2147484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes. I prefer leather for durability and it’s easier to clean. My shoes get dirty fast. I love the burgundy pair but I don’t think zappos ship here. I’m finding it very hard to get leather sneakers in a style/colour I like. It’s a bit frustrating because sneakers are everywhere here - but not the kind I want.</p> <p>(Sorry for digression KG.)</p> <p>ETA: just checked and it’s also not available in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147472 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 19:24:52 +0000 citygirldc 2147472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All you dresses fit well on you. Not sure about the last look though, due to the cardigan. I just can't place what's off. Maybe the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147470 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 19:19:48 +0000 Angie 2147470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> for you? (I only wear leather Chucks because I find them more comfy).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147469 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 19:14:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2147469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually prefer them with the longer dresses, but they all look great. Are the cons leather (I’m thinking about a pair for summer)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147466 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 18:44:58 +0000 MsMary 2147466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow! These are all just stellar!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147464 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 18:07:52 +0000 Jenn 2147464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look really great with the longer dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147458 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 17:43:35 +0000 Angie 2147458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ALL FABULOUS!&nbsp;</p> <p>Actually, I slightly prefer the Chucks with the longer dresses. You would totally rock a black pair with white soles too,<b> Kelly.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE my leather hi-tops! And wear them with dresses and skirts a lot at the moment. I wear them with hosiery or knee-highs. These are my newest pair. Not fleece lined.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147447 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 17:05:28 +0000 RobinF 2147447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cute dressses!&nbsp;</p> <p>I personally struggle with this look, so hard to get past the flattery issue for me. That being said, I really like your #1 especially. Maybe it is the length like you said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147445 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:54:22 +0000 slim cat 2147445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your dress collection - envy ! <br />All outfits look great to my eye but agree on the white cardigan length <br />( a bit heavy-long but still works ).<br />Fav outfits - #2 and 3. I like the sporty dress in #4 - would you add a small necklace/pendant for go out look? It may be not needed if you wear sun glasses and a bag though. Post some more later - inspiring collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147444 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:36:23 +0000 Diana 2147444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, these are all SO GOOD and make me want a pair of Converse hi-tops so badly. &nbsp;I especially love #1 and #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147443 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:31:14 +0000 nemosmom 2147443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Kelly you look great as always. #1 and #3 are my faves but I can't articulate why. Maybe it is their shorter length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147442 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:18:59 +0000 Kate 2147442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was what a great collection of dresses you have!</p> <p>I think you’re right about the need for some leg to show when wearing Cons with longer lengths. I like all of these, especially #1, #3, and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147441 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:14:33 +0000 kellygirl 2147441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Minaminu. I was least satisfied with the last dress/combo. The dress is great for a hot summer day as it's cotton and stands away from the body but that being said--it doesn't feel very flattering. I think that one needs sandals and a short denim vest to cinch it in a bit. Your thought confirms mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147439 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:12:27 +0000 Minaminu 2147439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fab in all outfits! Dresses can be tricky if one is not used to wear them! </p> <p>The white cardigan seems to be a bit long, are you happy with in that in that outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cons-with-dresses#post-2147438 Tue, 06 Oct 2020 16:05:27 +0000 kellygirl 2147438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got up a few minutes early to work on styling my light grey Cons. I expressed some disappointment styling them a la Angie but I think some of them do work. My take away is the length--I think some leg has to show and that is what didn't work with my longer skirts. I'll try posting some of those tomorrow for feedback. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.  </p>
