You look striking and cool in your loose black dress and leggings. I love the edge for you, it really works. It's hard to go loose without looking frumpy (well it is for me), but you are doing everything just right. I think having the right designer cuts is imperative. And having your dress in black instead of a twee floral doesn't hurt either. You have really amped up your Summer style.&nbsp;Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107768 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 16:16:36 +0000 Kristin L 1107768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great! I like how you have it styled now and how you can do so much with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>And now that song is stuck in my head. Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107668 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 09:24:42 +0000 Ornella 1107668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. And I would love to&nbsp;wear this too ;-)</p> <p>The pleats are a great detail and I totally get that such little things can bring so much joy. I think you'd love some stuff from COS, they always have these interesting little tweaks which add character to their garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107664 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 09:15:39 +0000 Deborah 1107664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lovely ones:). I am pleased you like the dress. I expect it to be a workhorse through the warm weather. Greyscale, Stephanie (Odyssey) does wear the leggings sandals like this and which I did drawer inspiration from. In fact I have just got my leggings out for the first time in ages. If I had her wardrobe, I'd be one very happy woman:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107546 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:10:15 +0000 Greyscale 1107546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great dress, and I think the leggings running into the sandals with no gap makes it much more interesting than just the dress on its own. It reminds me of some of my favorite looks from the Odyssey Home&nbsp;blogger who I think you've mentioned also enjoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107541 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:05:47 +0000 Debra 1107541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look, a beautifully simple dress. I can see you'll get lots of use out of this over summer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107537 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:03:33 +0000 Marley 1107537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is such a nice, easy looking outfit!&nbsp; I really love it - and I think the leggings with those sandals give such a great illusion of continuation - very cool!&nbsp; I don't see the bags that you are talking about - but, I can so relate to trying to find a pic that disguises your "tiredness" - hope you got in a nap today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107528 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:57:56 +0000 Jaime 1107528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one nicely designed dress - you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107517 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:39:41 +0000 Summer 1107517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to catch your posts. Love your style and you wear what you wear so well. I'm gleaning a lot of ideas...I live in a mainly warm climate also. </p> <p>"Saturday night I went downtown..."--perfect title :). I'll fall asleep with that in my head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107511 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:31:00 +0000 Neel 1107511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool and comfy. I love those shoes every time you wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-long-cool-woman-in-a-black-dress#post-1107510 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:28:16 +0000 Deborah 1107510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I was 7 when this Hollies song came out and I remember hearing it on the radio... my mum liked the Hollies:) Im not tall (long) but I can dream right?... but I am wearing a black dress And good post titles are getting harder to come by lol.</p> <p>This is a dress I bought a few months back in preparation for summer. This is it's second outing. </p> <p>Our summer tends to be so hot that very loose fitting garments are my preference, even though they are not always the most figure flattering, however I feel this one works quite well. This dress has a subtle uneven hemline and has a really interesting feature where the fabric is pleated a little on the right side.</p> <p>What appeals to me is that there are a number of ways to style this. For the office, heeled shooties and a shorter, slightly longer than choker length, heavy silver necklace works, I can layer over and under it and for today at church I wore it as seen below with slightly slouchy leggings, suede sandals and long silver pendant.</p> <p>It was one of those days. I am so tired to day and I took sooo many photos but there was no hiding the bags under my eyes, so please excuse my fatigue. May plop on the couch now for a nana nap :)</p> <p>Thanks for looking and as always your thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
