A&nbsp;darker &nbsp;cardi (black, burgundy, or cobalt) will do a great job, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-featuring-a-wardrobe-essential#post-1381783 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:40:18 +0000 unfrumped 1381783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That type of dress is sooo versatile and makes getting dressed easier, I think.

I'm never sure about the cardi either, Dianne, you might be onto something with the neckline..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-featuring-a-wardrobe-essential#post-1380692 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:50:50 +0000 Anonymous 1380692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great dress Lynne. The fit and length are flattering and it looks really versatile. I think&nbsp; all the shoe options shown work very well, I love the rich burgundy of the Clarks ones. The only thing I'm a tad unsure of is the cardigan in #3 I wonder if it's the neckline of the cardigan fighting a bit with the lines of the dress colour blocks and neckline shape? I'd be interested to see a 'v' neck cardi instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-featuring-a-wardrobe-essential#post-1380691 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:49:12 +0000 Sharon 1380691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such an elegant, classic look. I always find VM to be really well made, so I am sure you will get great use out of this. And the shoes are just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-featuring-a-wardrobe-essential#post-1380689 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:30:34 +0000 Lynne 1380689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses that can stand alone are an essental for me......for work, they need to be modest, conservative, and easy care. I work part time, 4 days a week between 3 different locations, so I feel outfit repetition isnt a problem. At the moment I have 4 dresses, and that's plenty. I bought this Veronica Maine dress last year after being inpired by a colour blocking outfit that Deb posted, and I wear it all year round. It's versatile, wash and wear, and a great FFBO. Feeedback/tweaks/suggestions welcome :).<br /> Shoes are Naturalizer two-tone, black Nine West (moonlighting from my evening capsule), and shiny wine coloured Clarks. My bag is the Worker from Mimco. </p>
