The dress is fantastic on you. I agree about the sleeves on the other one. Aren’t you smart to alter them yourself! I love the N+Z brand. Everything is interesting and special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025245 Tue, 07 May 2019 14:23:23 +0000 texstyle 2025245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic on both of these - I think these are my two new favorites on you!

I also noticed how fab your hair looks, it really suits you at this this length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025208 Tue, 07 May 2019 12:44:56 +0000 Chris987 2025208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Aquamarine!</b> The only part of this jacket that is fussy is the sleeve endings...the rest of the fringe is in places where it is no bother. </p> <p><b>RobinF </b>YES it certainly is a great skill to have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025206 Tue, 07 May 2019 12:32:19 +0000 RobinF 2025206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! The dress length looks perfect. I agree the tweed jacket sleeves could be shorter but I am partial to bracelet sleeves so biased. I often need to alter my clothes, such a handy skill to have isn't it?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025193 Tue, 07 May 2019 11:35:32 +0000 Aquamarine 2025193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super. Both outfits are perfect. The dress, in particular, looks fantastic on you and I like the shorter length. Angie can really pick them!</p> <p>I like fringe-y jackets in theory but I too find them fussy to wear. Looks good, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025191 Tue, 07 May 2019 11:27:04 +0000 Chris987 2025191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>The Cat!</b> You may remember this dress as Angie's "best dress at NAS" last July. She was dead right, of course! </p> <p>Thanks <b>Brooklyn, Angie, Sal!</b></p> <p>Thanks <b>Shevia,</b> I only zipped up the jacket to take this pic, and when we were out on a patio at the wedding, where it was pretty chilly. It was one of those events where we went back and forth between inside and outside. Inside I unzipped it and eventually took it off for a while. </p> <p>Thanks <b>Katerina</b>! I have very little occasion to wear outfits like this, and wish I could bring the same pizazz to my casual everyday wear. Still a work in progress...</p> <p>Thanks so much <b>Runcarla</b>...I didn't consciously change the part, but some days it's more tot he side than others, somewhat randomly. </p> <p><b>Adriana</b>, I like the idea of wearing this dress more, but it honestly would look very out of place in my everyday life, even casualized with sneakers and a denim jacket. I'm retired and live in a world where the norm other than office wear is very casual and usually a bit sporty. If you haven't ever visited New England you might find it surprising just how casually people dress. But...never say never! </p> <p>Thanks <b>Jessikams</b>! It's not summer yet here, it's spring and much colder than normal.&nbsp;The avg high temps this time of year are supposed to be in the mid-60's (F) but most days it has not gone above 50 plus it's been overly grey and rainy.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Lyn67</b>, yes the shorter length is perfect. When I wore this last Nov at the original length it actually was in danger of catching on my shoes getting in and out of a car, so much better shorter. </p> <p>Thanks <b>Jane!</b> </p> <div> <p></p> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025188 Tue, 07 May 2019 10:37:35 +0000 Jane 2025188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is stunning! I really like Adriannas idea of wearing it differently with sneakers, and perhaps a denim jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025171 Tue, 07 May 2019 08:18:10 +0000 lyn67 2025171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you both outfits are a 100%HIT! And, I love the new length for the dress! Good DIY job and seems a bit more&nbsp; airy and easier to wear at this length esp for Spring&nbsp; and not fuss about, isn't it? And I like the nude shoe choices, esp&nbsp; for the second outfit-where not so obvious!&nbsp; YLF Chris! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025168 Tue, 07 May 2019 07:51:06 +0000 Jessikams 2025168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super flattering outfits- and not easy to dress up in summer when it is nonetheless a bit chilly. Nice job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025160 Tue, 07 May 2019 07:20:35 +0000 Adriana 2025160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to find more occasions to wear this dress. It looks so good on you. Lenght is perfect like this. Maybe you can try a sportier outfit with the usual suspects (denim, sneakers). I like the pants outfit as well. Could also look good with a shirt with flowers or other pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025159 Tue, 07 May 2019 07:17:09 +0000 Carla 2025159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That dress is excellent for you, and our hair looks great. Did you change the part? Look #3 is pretty fab, too. Looks like you had a super stylish weekend. You certainly deserve Angie's KILLER designation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025158 Tue, 07 May 2019 07:05:31 +0000 Sal 2025158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fantastic Chris - both great looks.

The dress is gorgeous on you! I love it with the black jacket too. The outfit with the tweed jacket is fantastic as well. These two outfits are among the best I have seen. You look sensational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025145 Tue, 07 May 2019 02:13:36 +0000 Angie 2025145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER x2.</p> <p>YOU LOOK SENSATIONAL. Never better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025136 Tue, 07 May 2019 01:14:29 +0000 Jaime 2025136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Major wow for the dress. It is a dream on you. I would prefer the jacket over it open I think - show off the dress! Tweed jacket is great too and good for you for those small alterations that make a big difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025125 Tue, 07 May 2019 00:39:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2025125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is truly fabulous on you. Good move to shorten it. Great pairing with the shoes. The tweed jacket looks great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025112 Mon, 06 May 2019 22:52:05 +0000 The Cat 2025112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely dress! And I like how your pretty shoes bookend your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025107 Mon, 06 May 2019 22:35:51 +0000 Chris987 2025107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much <b>Cardiff Girl!</b> I am actually due for a haircut in a few days :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025104 Mon, 06 May 2019 22:25:27 +0000 Cardiff girl 2025104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely ,the dress is particularly nice on you and your hair looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-events-first-may-weekend#post-2025098 Mon, 06 May 2019 22:18:20 +0000 Chris987 2025098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had events on both days of this past weekend. I realized&nbsp;while writing this that almost all the items I wore were altered by me &nbsp;</p> <p>On Saturday we attended a wedding. I bought the Maggie London dress last fall, and had only worn it once to a Bar mitzvah in November. I decided to shorten it 2.5” before wearing it this time. We were in an endless spell of rainy, grey, and cold spring so needed a jacket. The dress was perfect for this wedding.&nbsp;</p> <p>On Sunday we had an evening banquet with a dress code of “business formal”. The N&amp;Z Jacket has frayed sleeves that are a little&nbsp;too long and catch in my fitbit strap. I need to remember to do something about it before I wear it again.&nbsp;The Adrienne Vitadini B/W polka dot blouse is a wrap style, and the crossover part kept shifting around so I stitched it closed. The Halogen pants (similar to the find) were part of a pant suit I bought more than 15 years ago. They were originally more flared but I got tired of that style and altered them a few years ago to have a straighter leg.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p>Pics<i><b>.</b></i><br /> 1. The ML Dress, nude pumps, nude bag<br /> 2. …same outfit with black faux leather jacket<br /> 3. …same dress in it’s original length (photo from last fall) at this posting <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-best-dress-at-nas-2018-club">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-2018-club</a><br /> 4. Tweed Jacket, slacks, etc </p> <p>Would love to hear any comments or suggestions. I don't wear outfits like this very often but liked both of them. Actually I LOVE the dress, liked the other items.&nbsp;</p>
