You are so right.<br /> I think it is easier to pair flats with dress lengths around the knee, a little above or a little below. I think you have similar PGs with the ankle strap, those look like fab workhorses. Angie mentioned that flats with a pointy toebox lengthen the leg line and are easier to pair with dresses. I think that helped with my dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1805014 Thu, 04 May 2017 11:22:12 +0000 Summer 1805014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dressy flats are perfect with the dress, Joyce, and&nbsp; it's nice to know that you were comfortable as well as stylish.&nbsp; You look lovely in your outfit.</p> <p>Congratulations to your DD on her graduation.&nbsp; I hope you all had a wonderful day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804948 Thu, 04 May 2017 02:41:54 +0000 unfrumped 1804948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great dress+ flats pairing. You did super. I also liked Angie's post, and I want to keep eye out for my favorite flats/ dress proportions- some shoes look better with shorter, longer dresses, skirt fullness, all that, and the more example I find, the more inspired I am to keep trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804900 Wed, 03 May 2017 22:48:50 +0000 RobinF 1804900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats to DD and you!

The cross straps are extremely flattering on your ankles. Really lovely and the dress is great on you also! Congratulations to your DD!

I love the neckline. So glad the flats were comfy so you could move around easily. I like the «seremoniality» of the gown. The biscuits look really yummi! Did you make them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804462 Tue, 02 May 2017 18:31:35 +0000 Joyce B 1804462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Mirjana and JAileen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804461 Tue, 02 May 2017 18:30:01 +0000 Joyce B 1804461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>-Thanks, Angie, and yes, that is the dress. I cannot link from my phone, I am glad you added the link. For once I can do a timely WIW that relates to your post :)<br /> The shoes were brand new and so comfortable that I could concentrate on more important things than on not slipping for example. I was very glad I wore them that day.<br /> -Thanks, Dana. I agree that I will be able to wear this dress to many different occasions or just for going out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804460 Tue, 02 May 2017 18:28:43 +0000 JAileen 1804460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice!

Look how great those flats look with the frock, Joyce. Nicely done.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is this the dress?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804432 Tue, 02 May 2017 17:23:16 +0000 Dana 1804432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! It looks like a dress you'll get lots of good out of, too!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dd-graduation-and-hooding#post-1804410 Tue, 02 May 2017 16:24:50 +0000 Joyce B 1804410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I paired the Tahari dress with the PG Margo cross strap flats in Ocean for DD's graduation. I thought it would look better with my 2.5" heels but I was very happy that I chose to wear my dressy flats. They were extremely comfortable and served me well through all the stairs I had to go up and down without worrying about tripping.<br /> Angie's post validates the way I felt about wearing my flats for graduation.<br /> I also tried the Emerson Rose bell sleeve dress but it did not work because the waist was too short on me. I was glad I found the Tahari dress.<br /> I will also share a pict in the gown, not the best picture but that is what I have right now.<br /> Thank you for looking. </p>
