I'll aim to get some better pics soon! Apologies. My daughter and I are still learning and it was pouring rain outside so the light was just the best we could do. </p> <p>Michelle, Krish is right; these are different booties and they are my very first ones! </p> <p>Heather and Rae, I think remixing would be a real challenge (apart from changing up the jewelry and shoes/tights). It is hard to see in the photos but the overlay is subtle yet quite distinctive. Sort of a blue grey knit, in places, with some white stitching detail and black lacy knit in other places. You can't really layer over the dress or you will spoil the lines (at least that is how it strikes me). And a belt would also spoil it. But that's okay; I have my black dress to layer under and over and to belt; this one serves a very different need. It has a slightly dressy appearance yet the knit also makes it suitable for more casual occasions. As in going out for supper to a not-so-fancy restaurant. </p> <p>Assuming my cat doesn't destroy the dress first, that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451893 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:21:32 +0000 Angie 451893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I see the dress from the front </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451892 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:20:16 +0000 krishnidoux 451892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, these are actually different booties. Now I'm exposed. Yes, I got 2 pairs of booties this year. Yikes! The Clark ones and these ones from Josef Seibel. Mine are olive green. The Josef Seibel ones have a slightly lower heels and close tight with a velcro tongue across the front, so they don't gap. When I saw you wear the Clark ones though, so perfectly, I understood they were made for you and are much more versatile on you. But... I absolutely don't regret it as each fill a different need. </p> <p>And while on the subject of the Clark ones: be careful with delicate tights or panty hose: avoid slipping your foot in carelessly, as I almost ruined my tights on the zipper. If you can, better hold the zipper corners open away from foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451800 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:48:10 +0000 anyamartin 451800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely dress! Really suits you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451792 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:42:47 +0000 Michelle 451792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, are these the same booties that I just bought, making us bootie tripplets? :)<br /> And perhaps you'll find the right hat/bag/gloves at the Toronto meetup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451742 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 16:39:08 +0000 rae 451742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beauty! I agree with Heather - great potential for remixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451655 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:22:27 +0000 Heather 451655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress, Suz. You need to shop this boutique often. Tailored, yet unique.</p> <p>Now, how will you remix it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451646 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:15:12 +0000 krishnidoux 451646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Be sure to post! I want to see with the coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties/page/2#post-451620 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:30:48 +0000 Suz 451620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krishnidoux, that is a genius suggestion, to wear a slip! And wonder of wonders, I actually have a choice, since my mother sent me a whole bunch of hers and I saved some of them. Thank you; it is also smart because it will keep me warmer! Because the outerwear/bag is a definite issue! Can't really layer this one with a short jacket because it interrupts the flow of the pattern, so I think it will be my new red winter coat over top. And a hat (still to buy) and gloves (still to buy) and as for the bag, that is a whole other adventure yet to be had! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451532 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:13:20 +0000 krishnidoux 451532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, how did I miss this? You look so good, so jazzy and effortless! You wear this dress delightfully. The vertical lines give you height, while the style reveals your svelte figure. I understand you feel you want something more around the neck, something on which to anchor the eyes. I agree and it would compliment your beautiful smile. Have you tried a small, delicate chain necklace ? Something discreet but that would catch the light when you move. </p> <p>Gray really suits you too. I love the play on texture of this piece. </p> <p>This dress and the other skirt are magnificent buys. Thank you for sharing the designer! I will be looking for it myself. </p> <p>PS regarding the knit and your apprehension, may I suggest trying to wear it with some for of lining such as a petticoat? It will prevent distortion. One of the first place to deform in a knit is the behind area from sitting etc. but lining does help a great deal. And this dress is worth caring for!</p> <p>Now tell us what outerwear and bag you envisage with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451529 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:06:36 +0000 Deborah 451529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this dress is stunning. And my I say I am enjoying your poses, very artistic :)<br /> I love the pearls but understand how you feel. The dress doesn't really need a necklace, and I agree that statement earrings (not too big) would do the trick. You have created perfect proportions here and I love he booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451481 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 04:03:57 +0000 Jenava 451481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the necklace is great, actually! I think the heaviness comes from opaque hosiery and the relatively low-heeled bootie. Try it with sheer hosiery and a grey pump? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451454 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:20:12 +0000 Sveta 451454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress on beautiful Suz! What a lucky find, girl. i like it the way you styled it - tights and booties included.<br /> As for the necklace I don't thnk this one looks bad at all - it all depends on what mood you want to set. I can see this necklace looking very cool with an addition of a denim or moto jacket. If you want to convey a more delicate feminine vibe then a pendant or short but delicate necklace will work. Earrings are another options...<br /> I am sure you will find a lot of great ways to style this dress, Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451449 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 02:56:30 +0000 Debbie 451449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i haven't looked at the other replies but i love this on you. The dress is fantasic and you look radiant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451433 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:58:51 +0000 Aida 451433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress, it fits you so well! I also agree no necklace, and would go with long statement earrings and/or a wide cuff. The dress has some good vertical lines built in, but a long metal pendant would also look great with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451371 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:22:11 +0000 Suz 451371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do wear big earrings, Freckles. But I didn't have any that seemed to look just right with this; that will be my next shopping spree, I guess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451353 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:01:12 +0000 Freckles 451353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress Suz. I don't remember seeing you in a chunkier earring, do you wear them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451350 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 23:59:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 451350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - this dress is beyond gorgeous on you. It's both funky AND feminine. What a beautiful look. I agree that the necklace seems a little heavy for the dress and think either a long pendant or no necklace at all would be just right to showcase that fab dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451340 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 23:51:05 +0000 Jonesy 451340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the necklace, but maybe a pendant would look cool? I think the booties totally work with this style of dress--you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451330 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 23:42:16 +0000 Suz 451330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool necklace, Natalie! Wow, you are clever to be able to find that! I think you are a very good shopper. :)</p> <p>And thank you again, everyone. Very good suggestions for neckwear (or none) and I am so glad you like the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451291 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 23:09:31 +0000 celia 451291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no good with necklaces but love the dress on you.As AG said it is the kind of style that I see you going to.lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451272 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:38:23 +0000 goldenpig 451272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUZ!!! I love it!!!! This look is so you! Great with the black and silver, asymmetry and pretty floral embroidery pattern. And the booties are the perfect touch. Way to go...I love how you're really honing in on your artsy edgy writer look. Modern and Victorian at the same time. I could totally see you getting into the steampunk vibe, by the way!</p> <p>As for the necklace, the color is nice but it's a little too classic with the pearls. How about a funky silver pendant instead? I'm thinking one with a feather shape to represent a writer's quill. Something like this Etsy one called "Writer's Key" (random one I found by typing in Quill Pendant):<br /> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83810300/skeleton-key-feather-quill-necklace-the?utm_source=googleproduct&#038;utm_medium=syndication&#038;utm_campaign=GPS" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/83.....mpaign=GPS</a><br /> It would go really well with the silver details on your dress plus it would be a subtle nod to your profession! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451241 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:50:03 +0000 Scarlet 451241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great! I think a chunky but not double strand necklace would be good. The length on this one is right. It looks good without a necklace too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451220 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:07:36 +0000 lynn 451220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome on you! I like the pearls but I like it without a necklace too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451214 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:01:30 +0000 Isis 451214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! The booties are really great! I think I like it better without a necklace, or perhaps one with less chunky beads. I like the grey color though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451205 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:53:24 +0000 san 451205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love this dress with the booties and tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451197 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:42:07 +0000 Inge 451197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! And so happy those booties are working out for you. They look great!</p> <p>I don't mind the pearls but the outfit looks great without a necklace too. Maybe you could try a single strand pearl necklace (I do love the grey/silver pearls with this dress), or how about a fab pair of earrings? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451174 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:08:23 +0000 greenglove 451174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz,<br /> The dress with you in it is divine! That has a bit of romance which is nice with your edgy hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451150 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:15:05 +0000 Suz 451150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you all! Suzanne, the dress came from a shop in my town called I Mode. The manufacturer is Dolcezza, and the parent firm is Michael Phillips, out of Montreal. It was a very inexpensive dress (esp. with the discount) and I do not know how long it may last (esp. given that it is a knit) but I thought it was worth a try. </p> <p>Thank you SO much for the confirmation re the beads; they didn't feel right, but I do think I want something so I will try a long pendant and also maybe a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-dress-grey-tights-the-booties#post-451125 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 18:35:59 +0000 HelenInCanada 451125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impeccable taste! I LOVE the dress and how you've styled it. You've got it goin' on! </p>
