But thank you so much for your suggestion :)</p> <p>Zap - I did try this dress with darker fishnets and didn't care for the look with the booties, which I was determined to wear today. I would argue that the outfit is plenty "winterized" when I step out the door with the knee high Blondo boots and my winter coat - lol! Also one of the reasons I bought this dress with 3/4 length sleeves is so I wouldn't have to wear a topper - there are days I don't feel like having layers on, you know? But I hear you :)</p> <p>Thanks Preppy Pear, Day Vies, Shevia, Parsley and Jen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775286 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:34:46 +0000 Anonymous 775286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress on you. Are you a "dress for the weather" person? Do you mind a disconnect? If you do, I think the outfit can be "winterized" a bit more. The pairing with the light colored fishnets and without a topper, suggests transitional weather to me, not full "snow waiting for me outside" weather, Otherwise, FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775274 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:19:56 +0000 JenT 775274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pop of red lipstick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775246 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:35:15 +0000 Parsley 775246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I don't know that yesterday was a miss, but you've certainly hit a bull's-eye today!<br /> That dress is stunning on you, and the arm party and colorful booties are the perfect complement to the dress.<br /> You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775241 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:21:55 +0000 Jaime 775241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry double post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775240 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:19:53 +0000 Jaime 775240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I liked yesterday's outfit, and today's is smashing as well! That dress looks great on you and the booties are perfect with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775236 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:07:53 +0000 Day Vies 775236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is so gorgeous. I love the stand collar and the wrap detail. OK honestly I love everything about it and the purple bootie is a lovely detail. Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775226 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:51:54 +0000 Sonia 775226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classy lady! One thing though that I may add is a bangle/bracelet, earings of the same colour as the shoe.. although it looks great and pops out colour from the rest of the outfit, to join your stunning red lipstick, some colour in the upper part of your outfit may help make your lips brighter and your shoes combine better. Just an idea.<br /> But what I fabulous dress! And outfit!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775206 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:24:46 +0000 Preppy Pear 775206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable! Love the arm candy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775199 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:17:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 775199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey - not to worry about completely bare legs! I'm wearing nude microfishnets which give a bit of warmth. It's not terribly cold here yet and will definitely be popping on tights once needed.</p> <p>Astrid, Suz &amp; Ceit - thank you for your comments about yesterday's outfit (velvet &amp; lace). I did feel by the end of the day that the outfit and constructed was probably a miss. I like the pieces but don't think I would combine them in that exact way again.</p> <p>Thank you Rae, Asingh, Kirti, Laura, Sona, Janet and Kristin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775193 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:59:29 +0000 Anonymous 775193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz - chiming in to say it wasn't a miss either, just that there were many divergent opinions on the look. I love that you tried something different, and just because some people might not have liked it or thought it was a departure for you, that doesn't make it a negative necessarily!</p> <p>This look is great, and it is an example of a FFBO for you. You can change things up in the accessories, boots etc. but the basic bones of the outfit are always there and easy to access.</p> <p>I think your outfit yesterday was more creative -- you were taking isolated pieces and crafting an ensemble out of them. Maybe there are other ways to combine those items that are subjectively "better", but it shows your creativity and craft and love of fashion in creating your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775181 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:41:22 +0000 Kristin L 775181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I like the pop of color the booties add. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775177 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:32:41 +0000 Suz 775177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning. </p> <p>By the way, yesterday was NOT a "miss." It was a change that not everyone loved. </p> <p>However, this dress is so spectacular on you that if anyone dares to say she doesn't like it I will personally come and spank her bottom!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775176 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:32:38 +0000 Janet 775176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress on you. It's always so nice to have proven winner pieces like this in your closet that make you feel fab with almost no effort! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775175 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:29:52 +0000 Sona 775175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an amazing look. simple yet strong. very modern classic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775160 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:53:39 +0000 Laura 775160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress - fabulous on you!! You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775152 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:42:46 +0000 Kirti 775152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The booties look so Fab with the print </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775149 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:37:03 +0000 Asingh 775149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, great dress! Love how you've stacked your bracelets with the watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775147 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:35:06 +0000 TraceyLiz65 775147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, but gotta ask snow and no tights???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775144 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:31:45 +0000 Astrid 775144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! Love the b&amp;w with the purple shoes. I have to speak up though and say that I don't think yesterday was a "miss" at all, if you're talking about the lace&amp;velvet outfit. I liked that one, but maybe I'm strange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775143 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:31:37 +0000 Raisin 775143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simple and I love it. The colored booties just add that bit of edge. Sometime simple is so perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-strong-simple#post-775140 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:28:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 775140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted a completely fuss free outfit today and after yesterday's "miss", wanted to feel more modern.</p> <p>I popped on my graphic black/white Maggy London wrap dress, cobalt suede booties and a simple black/white leather handbag. I've added my version of arm candy, a bold red lip and away we go. This feels like me. </p> <p>Do note that when I head out into the snow, I will be swapping the blue booties for my Blondo Vergara boots.</p> <p>What do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Dress: Maggy London<br /> Booties: Aerosoles<br /> Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)<br /> Arm candy: all thrifted </p>
