I'm glad you rescued it. I have a very similar dress (also from Loft) in a heatherish taupish brown and I wear it with skinnies, boots and my cream leather jacket... I never even had a fleeting thought of feeling dowdy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457733 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:00:38 +0000 Jonesy 457733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks really stylish and fab, and your kiddos are too cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457699 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 457699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past the sweet look on your face as you look down at your beautiful children.

I have a purple sweater dress which i am wearring it like you, with an obi belt and found out that gives a great punch to the all outfit.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457664 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 05:37:17 +0000 Aida 457664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great save, this is styled beautifully!

That is not looking shapeless at all anymore. It looks fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457640 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:11:37 +0000 goldenpig 457640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute pair of kiddos! You look fantastic in this sweater dress, what a great save. That obi really works wonders! Nice haircut too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457623 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:31:57 +0000 modgrl 457623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody! That obi belt is really like magic. When I put it at my high waist, it gives me serious waist definition. It's getting quite a workout these days. Sadly it is not long for this world. The leather is so soft, it is already ripping slightly. </p> <p>@Una, it took me a long time to figure out that clothes are not going to look uhhhmazing all by themselves. They need the right styling, accessories, accompaniments, shoes, a good haircut and a bit of makeup to look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457622 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:31:11 +0000 Sara L. 457622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the belt!

Hooray for your save! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457602 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:11:01 +0000 Deborah 457602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, this looks really good on you. I love Obi belts and I think this is perfect with the dress. I wouldn't change a thing here, and I would absolutely wear this outfit myself. Great rescue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457601 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:10:44 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 457601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really glad you rescued that dress. It fits you very nicely and you have styled it perfectly. It should also be quite versatile as you can add a hit of color or a jacket/cardi to change it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457595 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:53:20 +0000 Isis 457595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great!

It looks great the way you styled it. Obi belt to the rescue. Well done, Rita! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457588 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:48:56 +0000 catgirl 457588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing and furthermore, I fail to see HOW you are an apple of any kind!</p> <p>This is a good reminder not to judge items unstyled. I feel like that's how I test things - "is it a WOW even when I've just rolled out of bed?" - but obviously that's the wrong way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rescuing-an-orphan-sweater-dress-out-of-the-donate-pile#post-457586 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:45:50 +0000 Lenni A 457586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a sweet family picture!
