That is one seriously FABULOUS outfit! I've said it before and I'll say it again - adore you in any shade of blue Deb </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414742 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 06:36:42 +0000 Lyn D. 1414742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How good this looks Deborah!<br />I love the way the Metalicus pieces stretch and breathe, and the dress length is excellent.<br />I wore my Pasadena pant in the heat yesterday and they were fine, and so comfy that I felt like I was in my PJs all day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414724 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 04:54:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1414724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, this outfit is stunning on you. I love the high-low effect of the hem, created by the vest over the other layers. Not too short looking at all. I was wondering about the layers and the hot weather, too--sounds like this combination was perfect for your mix of indoor-outdoor time. And a very nice summer look for work!&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm guessing you could wear the body-con dress and the tunic without the vest, too, for more casual day-off dressing. Maybe with your Birkalikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414675 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 03:01:07 +0000 Karie 1414675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You definitely have that layering superpower!

Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414445 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 19:03:09 +0000 Dixie 1414445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really clever!

The outside drapey layers add effective length to the entire outfit. Sorted. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414372 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 15:20:22 +0000 Angie 1414372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer to the power of Killer</p> <p>Your best of 2014. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414358 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:41:52 +0000 Anonymous 1414358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Creative dressing at its best! I don't think the dress is too short - it looks good to me for summer weather, and I think that flat sandals just give you another option! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414346 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:00:38 +0000 Suz 1414346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfectly appropriate and what a beautiful layering job! Gorgeous blues!! But -- did it pass the sit test? Did you feel uncomfortable when you sat down?&nbsp;</p> <p>Speaking of the layering, is it not warm to layer this way in the heat? Or are the fabrics all breathable enough that it is not a problem?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414337 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 13:03:31 +0000 carolbee 1414337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks perfectly acceptable to me. Ditto what Elizabeth said, you say its hot, but then have THREE layers. Your definition of hot must be different to mine, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414325 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 12:03:46 +0000 Elizabeth P 1414325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love what you have done with layering here Deborah. A favourite to be sure. And the dress is not too short in the slightest. </p> <p>Just out of curiosity, are all those layers not hot in your climate right now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414311 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 11:34:32 +0000 Anonymous 1414311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the way you were seeming unsure of the length&nbsp;I was imagining a length of mid thigh or something similar! IMHO it's perfectly appropriate. Its just above you knees which is a great length and you look fabulous! Lovely creative layering. I'm also&nbsp; feeling the heat&nbsp;here in the UK, but with me it's just a hot flush! Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414304 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:52:47 +0000 VioletMyra 1414304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sharon. The clever layering has resulted in an awesome outfit. You look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414303 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:48:04 +0000 Dimity 1414303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit! I love the drape.&nbsp;The length looks perfectly fine to me, as do the shoes.&nbsp;I like the open toe booties with it, too. I wonder what your Birks would like, as a change? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414295 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 07:56:49 +0000 Sharon 1414295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely appropriate and utterly fabulous! LOVE! The layering is just so clever and that is a great length for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-layers-2#post-1414292 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 06:51:36 +0000 Deborah 1414292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Today I wore my Metalicus California Wrap Vest as an actual vest:) &nbsp;I have been enjoying it worn as a dress with the various options of securing it creating different looks.</p> <p>Today was hot so I started with my Metalicus Soft Seamless Dress (very bodycon), layered a navy Target (Limited Editions range)&nbsp;sleeveless tunic over it and then layered the vest over that.&nbsp;</p> <p>While I liked how it look and felt comfortable, I am unsure about the length. &nbsp;The dress sits just above the knee and I do think that is an 'appropriate' length&nbsp;<b>but&nbsp;</b>i am not sure. &nbsp;I think it was the short length and the heels together that make me question. &nbsp;Perhaps a flat sandal might work better?</p> <p>Would appreciate your thoughts on this. &nbsp;And I am truly not offended if you feel it is too short.</p> <p>Thanks<br />xxx Deborah</p> </p>
