(Had to say that first.) The dress is perfectly flattering on you, but you are not feeling it and you have a friend who would. I say pass it on, and show us more outfits with the boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718723 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:51:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 718723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmmm....then maybe I shouldn't tell you that I'm sitting here typing this in my den wearing my BF's.....tee hee....seriously.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718656 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:05:24 +0000 catgirl 718656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a combination of the browns in the dress (not my favorite color on me) and the clinginess - after lunch I just felt too bulgy and lumpy. It's all in my head, I'm sure. Shannon, having gone through your recent BF travails, I know you understand psychological discomfort in something that might objectively look good.</p> <p>I have a friend who will love this dress, and brown is her color. Off it goes to make someone else happy. </p> <p>Thanks for the input and reassurance, YLF - because I did wear this all day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718641 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:55:55 +0000 Carole 718641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm puzzled why you feel frumpy, I think you look fantastic. The dress is certainly not too short and looks great as you wear it, bear legged. But if your not comfortable in it, then it should probably go:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718634 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:50:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 718634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Una - if you're not feeling it, then get rid of it. No need to wear something we don't feel great in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718632 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:49:36 +0000 texstyle 718632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a wide belt? You look great but empire waists are a different look no doubt. I have purged a few myself but one worked with a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718589 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:45:39 +0000 KathyL 718589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great. Adding color would be great, though. You do not look even a little preggo in this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718582 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:34:01 +0000 JR 718582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, do try the burgundy boots! :o) A little jolt of colour somewhere here would be great. And with black and white, you can try just about any colour you've got. How about a turquoise blue studded leather bracelet? LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718478 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:17:05 +0000 catgirl 718478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering what would happen if I wore this over my black pleather skinnies. Not to work, of course. </p> <p>Kelly, yes you can wear yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718477 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:16:02 +0000 kellygirl 718477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. I guess I can wear mine one more year too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718462 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:04:27 +0000 Jonesy 718462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be the voice of dissent and say that I don't think it's quite up to snuff in comparison to your current style direction. Just my two cents, obviously :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718454 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:56:42 +0000 Mo 718454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Busted - I realized after I said I liked the Missoni esqe print that I like it so much I have one lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718415 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:02:19 +0000 jayne 718415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it is cute, and obviously a little pre uWP, but we don't have to do UWP every day right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718401 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:47:45 +0000 catgirl 718401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, Denise! I used to wear this with a red beaded necklace. I think I've forgotten how to wear jewelry. Or I could do my burgundy booties? Do you think that would work?</p> <p>Yes, I love a Missoni vibe! I think Mo has a similar dress, and maybe Queen Mum? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718399 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:43:52 +0000 CocoLion 718399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, I think the Missoni vibe makes it classic. Great job pairing it with the fringe booties.</p> <p>What about adding some red accessories (or cobalt)? I've seen MaryK pair black outfits with POC accessories in red and it's looked fantastic. I plan on copying her, once I fill the "hole" of no (or no current looking) bags.</p> <p>(POC = pop of ... you get it) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718396 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:39:15 +0000 catgirl 718396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA! I've boxed myself into a fashion corner! </p> <p>I am wearing these RATE boots from Allsaints, seen in this screwy outfit here:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-rescue-some-orphans" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....me-orphans</a></p> <p>But not sure if the fringe makes them boho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718395 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:39:03 +0000 kimlee 718395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing dated about this oldie. It still looks fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718392 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:37:54 +0000 Ingunn 718392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I would wear it in a heartbeat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718383 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:27:24 +0000 rachylou 718383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great dress! But I'm thinking, somewhat like Rae, I need Una to have a spiked leather cuff somewhere in there... ;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718352 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:51:56 +0000 rae 718352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you feel in it? You look great, but slightly more bohemian than the newer things you've bought (leather jackets, Equipment shirts, bf jeans, etc). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718341 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:28:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 718341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718337 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:22:59 +0000 Mo 718337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. I've always been a fan of this Missoni-like stripe print. The colorblocking is perfect for your figure, as well, making the focus on the lower half of the dress.<br /> Frost? I don't know if I remember what that is . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718327 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:01:41 +0000 catgirl 718327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I look mildly preggo, though it could be how I'm standing. I'm skinnier than when I bought it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718324 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:00:10 +0000 Suz 718324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, Una! You are hitting it out of the ball park every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718318 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:58:37 +0000 Anonymous 718318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Wear that outfit with confidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-is-this-oldie-still-a-goody#post-718310 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:56:19 +0000 catgirl 718310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE: After wearing this dress for the day, I'm just not happy. It makes me feel frumpy somehow, even though I know it''s not that bad. I would feel better if I had more of a waist to show off. Sigh.</p> <p>This Nine West sweaterdress was purchased early in my YLF life. It is COLD today - there is frost on the ground. And Shannon inspired me to try some cozy fall colors. It's warm, it's comfy, and it fits. </p> <p>Is it too short? Dated? Unflattering? Does it look okay with these fringed flat ankle boots? I don't want to do heels unless I wear tights, and I can't quite bear the thought of tights this early in the season.</p> <p>All feedback welcome! </p>
