You have an amazingly fab wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-dress#post-739209 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:43:46 +0000 shiny 739209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had a dress like this (and believe me, I've been fantasizing about it for awhile!), I imagine I'd pop a collared blouse under it. I don't know if my taste is wonky or what, but I might even try a denim shirt under it. That might work, tonally, with those booties? </p> <p>As for tights and shoes, I'm confused because I thought in Angie's blog post about WTW with leather skirt, the advice was to wear bare legs or nude fishnets or sheers, with pumps? Not with tall boots (too much leather?). Also pairing suede footwear seems to be a good strategy since it adds texture? What am I missing here? Is it because this shift is shorter than a pencil skirt it needs a different approach?</p> <p>As for topper, I have experimented around with my leather skirt (not a shift dress, sigh... ) and what seems to work best is a 3/4 length coat. Like a wool coat. Or, I have this statement gold brocade 3/4 length topper, shown below.... may be too lady like for what you're going for.... but the idea is to add a contrasting texture and pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-dress#post-738546 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:20:31 +0000 celia 738546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-dress#post-738464 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:15:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 738464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-dress#post-738307 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 22:31:03 +0000 catgirl 738307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is fabulous.

I would love to see this wih your cream leather blazer.</p> <p>One of my girlfriends has a similar dress in leather and I would love to show her your stylings here. She tends to feel that boots are the only suitable footwear for the dress but you have proven otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-dress#post-736535 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:07:35 +0000 Angie 736535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm telling you - you are Queen Loafer. I hereby crown you so :)</p> <p>I love #2. KILLER. </p> <p>I think #3 would look great with black opaque leggings and loafers - or opaque tights and darker booties. </p> <p>I think leather or leather can work. In different shades especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leather-dress#post-736488 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 02:01:48 +0000 bj1111 736488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>chocolate color seen in last photo. worn with a black fleece baseball jacket with leather sleeves and charcoal leggings with brown suede boots in first photo, and burgundy square toe loafers in second photo.</p> <p>improvements? i think i may need to go less dark with a topper. do you think leather on leather is declasse...i was thinking about my cream leather blazer. </p>
