The scarf and shrug were great additions and it's beautiful by itself. You look so pretty and I'm sure your children were quite proud of their mother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-the-ocean#post-647076 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:55:46 +0000 Kari 647076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shu, I love the colors, particularly of the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-the-ocean#post-647066 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:37:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning colour combination on you Shu! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-the-ocean#post-647065 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:37:10 +0000 Jewell 647065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this dress! But then again, I never met a maxi I didn't like. And if there's something unflattering about the fit, I'm having a hard time seeing it. It's a fab color with a flowy feminine cut. Looks comfy, too. The next time you wear it, you must let us see it with just the shrug and no scarf and with just the scarf sans shrug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-the-ocean#post-647056 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:26:16 +0000 Angie 647056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sun was out and this is a reason to celebrate in Seattle! </p> <p>Those colours are so lovely on you. I'd prefer to see this dress at midi length, but you look very pretty nonetheless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-the-ocean#post-647026 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 00:21:22 +0000 Deborah 647026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks really lovely. The colors are beautiful and the shrug and the scarf glam this up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-the-ocean#post-647024 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 00:11:04 +0000 Shu 647024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,<br /> This isn't particularly special (particularly given the way some of our group feel about maxis), but the colors reminded me of the ocean - and that made me smile. It is also a different look than what I've shared in the past. Please excuse the messy topknot, these were taken at the end of a hectic day, during the middle of which I scraped my hair back.</p> <p>It was sunny today, and after many days of gloom I felt I needed to seize the moment and wear a dress, although I only had a few minutes to throw myself together and I hadn't shaved my legs.<br /> 1) That's how I ended up wearing the navy maxi dress. </p> <p>I had an awards assembly to go to for one son and a preschool to volunteer at for another, so I had to address the skimp factor of the top.<br /> 2) That's how I ended up with the turquoise spring-weight scarf.<br /> 3) Wanting a little more modesty (and warmth) led me to the teal shrug. </p> <p>I wouldn't buy this dress today because I don't feel that it particularly flatters my body and the top requires managing such as I did today, but I haven't purged it because I love the way it feels (like jammies), and because on occasions like today it helps me look put together quickly. I was also happy with the practicality of all the layers. At different points in this moody Seattle day I had on every combination of each of the components, and the options kept me comfortable. </p>
