So happy I invested in this dress because it feels like a nightie, yet I feel pulled together. It is also like a blank sheet so I could go casual, dressy or smart casual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970525 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:06:01 +0000 Anonymous 970525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds reasonable - they are a good placeholder shoe, and a good trial run for coloured shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970523 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:04:39 +0000 harmonica 970523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Ceit, Diane, Suz and Deborah! </p> <p>Ceit - room is no problem. I have purged a lot of shoes and are now really thinking of the purpose of new additions. Pre YLF I always ended up with 5 pairs of the same - lol ;-)</p> <p>Diane, Suz and Deborah - I'm not used to wearing shoes with vibrant colours, so this is new territory. These sandals could however be my testing pair and I'd probably wear them on occations I know I'm not walking forever </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970519 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:01:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 970519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my Harmonica - I LOVE this dress! It is so flattering on you. The pop of red on your pretty feet is beautiful with the neutral dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do have shoes and sandals that are not comfy all-day walking shoes. On days at work when I know I won't be running around and will be at my desk most of the day, I can wear a less comfortable shoe. That being said, I'm becoming more and more picky about having happy feet so will not be purchasing anymore shoes that don't work all day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970515 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 12:54:04 +0000 Deborah 970515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica, I love this dress on you. It's gorgeous and such a flattering cut for you. The sandals are very cool and a great colour. I only really have one pair of shoes that I can't do a full day in, so keep the sandals as long as you are sure they wil get some wear:). Comfort has become all important and I have a low threshold for shoes that are not comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970506 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 12:41:59 +0000 Suz 970506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How great to see this dress in action. It's a gorgeous style. I love it on you. I also love the sandals. Sorry to hear they are not all day shoes. They look fabulous with the dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do keep some shoes that aren't all day shoes, yes...but only under certain circumstances. For instance, I keep them if I know I wouldn't be wearing them all day, ever -- lots of dressier styles are like this. They're primarily for evening anyway, in my world, or for short engagements.&nbsp;</p> <p>Or if I know I'd be sitting in them much of the time, that's another possibility.&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, some just take a while to break in, and for me, this seems particularly true of sandals. Once I get used to them and the leather softens a bit, they always seem much better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970493 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 12:30:55 +0000 Anonymous 970493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress is fab and so are the sandals. The red adds a lovely pop of colour so if can still wear the sandals&nbsp;for a good while&nbsp;then I say keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970486 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 12:22:02 +0000 Anonymous 970486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress! I say keep the sandals if you have the room. They look nice with the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-seersucker-dress-and-patent-red#post-970477 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 12:13:30 +0000 harmonica 970477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is new and it is first time wearing the sandals.</p> <p>Do you keep shoes that are not all-day walking shoes? I got the red sandals from a friend and they turn out a little stiff. The sole is not as "cushined" and soft as I expected. They also rub a bit, but that is an easy fix. They are good for some hours and I don't get tired like in high heels, so they are pretty ok, but not good for all-day walking. How do they look with the dress? Keep?</p> <p>I realize that I need a white topper - preferably a blazer, but a white denim might be ok too. </p> <p>The dress is shortened pretty much in the shoulders. You can see that the front neckline on the model is lower than on me. I don't mind though. The low-cut back is also not as low as on the model and I'm very happy with that (I feel uncomfortable with a lower cut back. Just a thing I have)</p> <p>- striped seersucker dress<br />- linnen cardi<br />- patent red sandals<br />- green bag<br />- golden nail polish on toes (a bit too metallic, though) </p> </p> <p><b>ETA:</b> Are proportions right? The waist band on the dress is hitting slightly higher than my real waist. Does the top part look too short?</p>
