I bought this year: </p> <p>2 summer dresses<br /> 2 woven tops, sleeveless<br /> 1 light cardigan<br /> 1 pair of bermuda shorts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-693360 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:10:43 +0000 Anonymous 693360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the juxtaposition of the structured blazer with the soft dress. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-693333 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 09:21:13 +0000 Ornella 693333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, I've moved to Germany 2 months ago and there are lots of Mexx stores here :-)</p> <p>Speaking of European brands, do you (or anyone else reading) know where is <em>InWear</em> brand from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-693331 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 08:54:50 +0000 ramya 693331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-693257 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 05:14:04 +0000 Ingunn 693257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Inge and Angie: Thank you for correcting me! I must be confusing MEXX with another brand. I'm very pleased that you liked my outfit.</p> <p>@Ornelia: Too bad you can't find Mexx no more where you live if the cut is right for your body type. I tend to fit their garments very well, too!</p> <p>@Aida: That's a great advice, thanks! I'll try that today:)</p> <p>@Jayne and clairlyclaire: Thank you very much:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-693005 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:08:19 +0000 Angie 693005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MEXX is Dutch, as Inge already pointed out. I like MEXX! </p> <p>This is a great little outfit. I like the formal blazer, and think that it makes the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-693002 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:03:31 +0000 Aida 693002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I quite like the blazer with this dress; a cropped denim or utility jacket could also be fun too. You could try turning the cuff back once and then pushing the sleeves up, I find that my blazers with very smooth linings stay up better when I do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692944 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 21:30:01 +0000 Anonymous 692944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful dress! I love the print and you look sassy and professional with your laptop bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692920 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 21:01:12 +0000 jayne 692920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit! Black and White and Grey oh my, with a hit of red! Very pretty dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692907 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 20:43:33 +0000 Ornella 692907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit and I particularly love the pop of color, although without the pin everything would still be perfect.</p> <p>I love Mexx. There used to be their outlet store near my old place in England and you could get absolutely amazing things there for a fraction of the original price. Sadly, they withdrew from the British market a couple of years ago as they didn't do that well there (there are several British brands catering for the same market space), not that Mexx really bothered with marketing either. I have two great jackets, a coat, a jumper and some scarves by them, all are fantastic. What I particularly like is how some of their clothes are cut perfectly for my height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692903 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 20:41:08 +0000 Inge 692903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this black &amp; white floral print on you, Ingunn. And I for one really like the dressier blazer with this ensemble, it's a mixture of more playful and strict.</p> <p>P.S. I think Mexx is a Dutch company actually;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692893 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 20:16:13 +0000 Ingunn 692893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Mac!</p> <p>Mo: I guess the situation called for more dressy attire after a long Summer in casual outfits. I suppose there will be a lot more jeans and t-shirts to be seen tomorrow:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692781 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 18:08:15 +0000 Mac 692781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. VERY pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692769 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:33:38 +0000 Mo 692769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for wearing our dresses! I didn't know Mexx was Danish . . . I had some things I loved by them in the early 90's.<br /> Glad you had company in dress land - I was surrounded by the usual tanks and shorts but that's okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dress-a-week-challenge-week-2#post-692728 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:29:19 +0000 Ingunn 692728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my response to Mo's post yesterday on her "August - one dress a week": <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sun---dress-a-week-challenge-wee-2" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....enge-wee-2</a></p> <p>Today was my first day at work after my Summer holiday, and I chose a black, cream and white print dress (bought in 2009 in Hawaii, don't know what brand) with a v-neck, flared skirt and puff sleeves. I paired it with low patent leather wedges that I bought while is the US this Summer (Nine West, w/peep toe). I topped it with a light blazer in blue grey. The brand is MEXX (Danish ETA: Dutch!). I wore white enameled flower studs, and my laptop bag is synthetic, black with piping in blueish lilac. As a pop of color I added a bright red flower hairpin on the lapel.</p> <p>I did scrunch the sleeves several times, but the smooth fabric made it difficult to maintain the scrunches.</p> <p>I would have preferred to have a more casual jacket with this dress, and I did get comments that could indicate "overdressing". But several of other coworkers did also show up in pretty dresses today, so I felt just fine! </p>
