You'll probably find many tees that are at least as good elsewhere. My daughter got one in a cotton/linen mix from Alexander Wang that is very pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344635 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:23:57 +0000 Anonymous 1344635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks Ingunn! &nbsp;I've heard of the label - but only have ever seen it in UK fashion mags....but I'll check out their website just for fun anyways:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344625 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 18:05:34 +0000 Ingunn 1344625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!&nbsp;</p> <p>Jj, I hear you on shapeless/unstructured. I love the look on others, but on me, it really doesn't work at all. This dress is about as shapeless as I'm willing to go at the moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I've never thought about it that way, but it makes perfect sense. Light tights is really not a good look on most grown-ups.&nbsp;For me, the only way to go is dark hose or tights, which means that some of my shoes/boots won't work well. I find it very difficult to find good dark brown tights.&nbsp;</p> <p>lisap, I'm sorry to keep secrets from you The tee I bought is from Filippa K, a Swedish brand. It's not available on their website in a v-neck, only scoop. I think that is &nbsp;good neckline, too.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.filippa-k.com/en/woman/essentials/single-jersey-t-shirt-f14">http://www.filippa-k.com/en/wo.....-shirt-f14</a></p> <p>I do find some of their clothing available online here and there, but they still don't have a proper international online store themselves. Filippa K is probably where I've bought most of my best wardrobe essentials.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344571 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:28:52 +0000 Suz 1344571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is gorgeous on you, Ingunn, and I love this with the white bag and white striped sneakers. A really fun end-of-summer look. &nbsp;</p> <p>I can truly sympathize with your comment about hose. I finally realized that the main reason I don't wear many dresses and skirts in winter (despite loving them) is the fact that I must wear hose with them. It isn't that I find hose uncomfortable; I don't. It's the fact that hose always make the look darker and heavier. Yes, there are nude sheer stockings -- but those are not warm and they run in a second of at home wear with a curious kitty. Meanwhile, opaques may be warmer but they are typically dark. And this makes outfit cohesion a much greater challenge for me. With my fair colouring, all dark is just <b>too </b>dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344564 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:18:10 +0000 lari 1344564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look great in this dress ingunn!&nbsp;you can always belt it if you feel it has too much volume. I really like dress - snickers combo - looks fresh and easy going </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344551 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:00:13 +0000 Janet 1344551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate so much to your first two paragraphs! I love dresses in theory but they usually make me feel too dressed up.</p> <p>I'm more of a fan of slip-on sneaker styles with dresses than sneakers with laces, but that is my personal bias. I still think this works well, especially with the denim jacket. The dress is a beautiful color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344547 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 15:55:17 +0000 donnat 1344547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is fabulous on you. The dress is very simplistic as well, it fits right into your current style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344521 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 15:00:09 +0000 Neel 1344521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress and styling!

The green is your color. The dress is simple enough to be anything you want it to be, dressed up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344444 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:49:53 +0000 Jjsloane 1344444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this totally works. I have wanted to try the sporty sneaks with dress look and this is more my style than a super boxy shapeless fit dress (which does me no justice) The color is great on you too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344440 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:40:01 +0000 Ingunn 1344440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, Alana!

It has a slightly "organic" look to it which is really attractive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344427 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:08:07 +0000 Ingunn 1344427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Deborah.&nbsp;It's a woven fabric in viscose. A little fluid, but not stretchy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344426 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 11:03:39 +0000 Deborah 1344426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely dress Ingunn. The colour is flattering and I love the shape. I don't live sneakers and dresses but this is actually very pleasing to my eye. What sort of fabric is the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-forest-green-day-dress#post-1344424 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 10:58:49 +0000 Ingunn 1344424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the realizations I made by looking at my wardrobe statistics is that I don't wear dresses as much as I would like. I'm drawn to dresses and I love them, but I don't wear them a lot. Why was that?</p> <p>I think one reason is that I'm drawn to a more minimal, casual style right now, and most of my dresses make me feel too dressed up. Well, yesterday I went shopping and I found a forest green shift dress that I think can become a versatile day dress for me the coming season. I like the color, it has sleeves, the length is good, and it is relaxed, but not totally unstructured. It is in fact quite classic.&nbsp;The width makes layering a bit challenging, but I have a couple of ideas.&nbsp;</p> <p>My first take on the dress is inspired by a few of the characteristics of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/03/11/the-look-of-2014/">2014 that Angie outlined in March</a>, particularly "irregular outfit juxtaposition" and "just enough structure". I've paired it with Adidas sneakers and a denim jacket.&nbsp;We are enjoying the last few days of warmth, so I'm wearing the dress sans hose - the part of summer I probably miss the most, is the ability to do that. I've added a white bag because the warm season isn't over yet, and I like the crispness white adds to the green.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Does the dress work on me? Does it work with dress and sneakers? Any thoughts are appreciated.</p> <p> </p>
