At this stage of my style life, a wardrobe without my cobalt dress would just make me sad. I know it's not as fluid as some other current options out there, including my own new pink number, but if I had to pick one item to encapsulate my personal style, this would be it. And at the end of the day I guess feeling true to yourself in your clothes is always in fashion. Still, thank you very much for the feedback and validation. I really appreciate it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385770 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 00:33:17 +0000 Debora 1385770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, you are as beautiful as ever in your cobalt dress.

Back looks good too. I love the way you updated the look with black opaques and booties. Brilliant, and so very Michelle. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385735 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:47:43 +0000 Lucy 1385735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great to me. If you had posted this as a new "keep or return" I suspect there would be an overwhelming "keep"! As long as you keep shoes updated, I think it will look fab for a while yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385734 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:47:30 +0000 Kari 1385734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heck yes Michelle! I think that dress is a classic and still suits you really well. I would personally wear it until it started falling apart. The picture of you wearing it actually makes me wish that dresser still available so I can snap one up myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385724 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:34:45 +0000 Michelle 1385724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro raises a good point about the back view. I fully intended to ask Obliging Coworker (TM) to take that shot, but it totally slipped my mind. Obliging Neighbour has stepped in instead. Here you go. <br />As to pilling in the underarms or anywhere else, there isn't any. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385713 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:19:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1385713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another cobalt fan, Michelle.&nbsp; This dress a terrific hue and silhouette for you.&nbsp; I think it still looks great in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385712 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:17:14 +0000 bj1111 1385712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It still looks great esp updated with high vamp shooties/booties.</p> <p>I remember the rhapsodizing over the years.

My older clothes always show pilling and wear there.</p> <p>Have you checked Ebay for a replacement? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385703 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 22:56:49 +0000 N-Marie 1385703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great.

I ask because when clothes get tight on me it's usually the back bra strap that lets me know </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385694 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 22:45:06 +0000 Anonymous 1385694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it still looks good, Michelle! The color is breathtaking on you, and the hue is still deep and saturated. You must have taken very good care of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-there-still-life-in-this-personal-classic#post-1385688 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 22:41:29 +0000 Michelle 1385688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone who's had more than a handful of dealings with me on Ylf are familiar with the myth of "the cobalt dress. "for those who have yet to hear me rhapsodize about this garment, allow me to share the Coles Notes version: its my favourite piece of clothing of all time. I bought it at my first ever NAS five years ago, and its as if someone designed it specifically with me in mind. The colour, fabric, styling and comfort level were all perfection at the time. This dress completely recallibrated my fashion standards, and its become my go-to outfit ever since. But five years and entirely too many pounds later, I suspect it's time to re-evaluate. Is it still flattering? Current? Relatively pristine?<br /> oes this wardrobe mvp need to retire, or does it have a few seasons left? </p>
