I'm eyeing one sweater dress and I'm&nbsp;seriously tempted now...&nbsp;</p> <p>Btw, Flavia is not on this course any more (I'm taking the next level now), but she has a cat! "My child", she used to refer to&nbsp;him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106928 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:15:02 +0000 Lantana 1106928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think it is adorable, waist surrendering yes but what the heck, the mere feel of a swing dress is enough compensation for that loss. Your photo brought me a lovely memory of wearing a swing dress in 1968, I think. I loved the feel of the fabric's weight falling from my shoulder line.<br /> Funny thing to recall, hey? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106831 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 04:39:55 +0000 Karie 1106831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm ducking with Shannon and Sveta on this one. I own some tops like this, though, and I know they look better with movement. Too bad you can't upload a video! The color is beautiful, I love gray, and your glasses are fab too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106822 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 04:26:18 +0000 Anonymous 1106822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I need about five variations on this dress for work! After following the Anthro link, I like it even better now that I see it has a subtle pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106676 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 02:01:44 +0000 Anonymous 1106676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was 0C and warm here today too! Such an odd winter so far for us. It was 10C yesterday!</p> <p>I think this looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106666 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 01:56:18 +0000 catgirl 1106666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries, Shannon and Sveta. I get that this is not so flattering and not everyone's cuppa. I think it does look better IRL, because my mom who would prefer me to "show my figure" approved of it in the store. I have always loved the pyramid dress shape and think that motion is the key to the look. Check some of the review post pictures to see it on other bodies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106606 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:55:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1106606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd see the doctor about the cat growth you've got going - lol!</p> <p>I'm afraid I agree with Sveta on the volume issue with this. But I also suspect in movement it looks less voluminous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106589 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:41:04 +0000 Greyscale 1106589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The glasses are great!</p> <p>I see Sveta's point about the shape, but&nbsp;I bet this dress is really at its best when you move or when we can see it from the sides. It looks so soft and flowy.&nbsp;I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106584 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:35:19 +0000 Sveta 1106584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I am a spanner here but I am not in love with the shape of this dress for you. Somehow it is too full on the bottom, I would prefer to see less volume there, more like A-line... :-)<br />The red specs are delish though.<br />&lt;ducking out of sight&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106502 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:06:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1106502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look -- minimal, but very feminine, too.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think online shopping is very brave, but I'm horrible at it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106438 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 21:19:22 +0000 Lisa 1106438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pet kitty for me. &nbsp;And lovely grey shade on you, I like that it is lighter in tone because it looks very soft here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106408 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 20:35:48 +0000 catgirl 1106408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue was mostly on the tips and it has faded some, especially with sun and sea. I plan to go bolder next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106405 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 20:33:55 +0000 Suz 1106405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am in love with your specs. Especially with this soft grey.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is the blue already faded from your hair? I don't see it as much in this photo. But it may be the angle.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cat growing out of your leg, indeed. I have one of those, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ornellaflavia#post-1106390 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 20:07:47 +0000 KeepTheKey 1106390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like E, I also love the dress on you, and&nbsp;fact that 31 is warm to you!
