Quite a lot. The shiny material makes it luxe military. Really nice white jacket, too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-896157 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:20:49 +0000 Angie 896157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER outfit - which includes the kitty. Well done :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-896155 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:18:01 +0000 Ariadne 896155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, wow, I love the dress - gorgeous and fun - and the outfit. &nbsp;The white jacket adds a delicious dose of brightness and I think the ankle boots are fun and fashion forward. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-896049 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:35:31 +0000 kkards 896049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the higher boots and I'd love to see it with the yellow cons, I think that would give it a spring feel&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895700 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:50:11 +0000 celia 895700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the dress, I like the jacket(a little tweak in the sleeves) and the bag. Great outfit!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895625 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:48:50 +0000 Thistle 895625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the dress a lot! &nbsp;I like the topper to have with it, but a lot would work with the dress. &nbsp;Fab find! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895316 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:54:35 +0000 Suz 895316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cute dress and cute jacket! I think it might be worth it to alter those sleeves. The jacket is fun and suits you.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895259 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:47:00 +0000 Sara L. 895259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the dress and it looks good on you in these photos.&nbsp; I'm not sure about the boots - I have problems myself with styling mid-calf boots.&nbsp; It would look good with sandals once the weather warms up. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895210 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:35:28 +0000 Robin M 895210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit-- I know what you mean about the sleeves. &nbsp;They are like 1 inch too long. &nbsp;There is some detailing on the sleeve that would have to be moved, so ordinarily I'd just deal. &nbsp;But this jacket is gearing up to be a real workhorse for me (its been in 50% of my outfits in the last month), so it might be worth it. &nbsp;<br /><br />LBD-- I've tried the dress&nbsp;with a belt before, but its really awkward. &nbsp;The strings hit me about 2 inches below my natural waist and float up there when I sit. &nbsp;The obvious places to belt are no gos. &nbsp;Maybe a long necklace?<br /><br />kkards-- thanks for the feedback. &nbsp;I have a pair of mid calf boots I've paired this dress with before (see photo). &nbsp;I'm not really a flats girl, but I have a pair of yellow cons that might work. &nbsp;I like this idea, so thank you! &nbsp;Do these other boots work better? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895153 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:30:17 +0000 kkards 895153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i like the dress. i think i would like to see it with either higher boots,&nbsp;booties or flats. to my eye the lenght of the dress is fighting the height of the boots. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895099 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:26:40 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 895099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it with the white topper! <br /><br />I really like the dress alone in photo 1, but it needs... something more. &nbsp; Some oomph. &nbsp; Can you wear a belt over that string tie at the waist, or would that look strange?&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895055 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:49:13 +0000 Anonymous 895055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the dress is really cute! I love your military topper, but the sleeves look too long, would they be easy to shorten?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-consolation-prize#post-895053 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:47:43 +0000 Robin M 895053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Quick story: &nbsp;a friend and I went thrifting about a month ago and she found a great DVF cotton safari dress for 35$ that I had to talk her into buying (it didn't fit me, or I&nbsp;wouldn't have tried very hard).<br /><br />I really liked the dress, so I took to eBay to find a similar dress and bought this one. &nbsp;I'm not completely thrilled with it, as it is made of a shinier fabric than expected and the pockets are just design details, not functional. &nbsp;Alas, it being eBay, it is not returnable and so I am trying to make it work. &nbsp;I think it photographs well, which is improving my opinion of it.<br /><br />dress: DVF (eBay)<br />boots: c michaels?
