So very *you*. </p> <p>I'm a little curious how the trench would sit over the tails over the cardigan. Do they hang below the hem of the trench?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-essentials#post-1282560 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 19:04:32 +0000 Hil 1282560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everytime I read one of your posts I feel freshly inspired for my look.

This is what I was trying to explain to Anna and Angie - I think the topper needs to be pretty close in length to the dress/tunic hem to really look it's best.&nbsp; Just perfect.&nbsp; I can steal the whole thing!!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fab tote!!&nbsp; Love the design and perfect size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-essentials#post-1282152 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 10:27:39 +0000 Anonymous 1282152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've really zoomed in on your look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-essentials#post-1282141 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:59:18 +0000 kkards 1282141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>your essentials are way more fab than mine! love the draping on the dress,and the tote is fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-essentials#post-1282138 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:56:32 +0000 Deborah 1282138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies:). </p> <p>Debra do you have the Metalicus Plaza Drape tank dress by any chance?

Happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-essentials#post-1282102 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 07:51:21 +0000 Deborah 1282102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers:)</p> <p>Angie recently helped me understand what the essentials are in my closet. I know much has been written but I'm a pictures gal and don't always fully read everything :(. </p> <p>So, without realising it, I have been adding essentials to my wardrobe over the last little while. These are items that if I didn't have, the sky would fall down ;). They are the foundation of my outfits. Some of them are "similar but different" to one another and I love them all equally.</p> <p>The dress here is new. I ordered it from Boohoo and for an inexpensive garment I am pretty happy with it. Nicely made, fabric skims my body and I love the drape.</p> <p>Worn with leggings, ankle boots and a drape long tail cardigan from Portmans. I did add a black with white trench for my commute but forgot to get a pic.</p> <p>The tote is also a new and was my birthday gift from my sister. </p> <p>Thanks for looking. It's a simple look, but one I could actually wear very day:)</p> <p>xxxDeborah </p>
