I should know better than to swear off YLF. You gals are like family and I missed you lots, even though I was only away for a week! Fortunately things are improving between me &amp; hubby and as long as I try to be more discreet about the picture taking I think I can keep things in balance and still hang out with my dress-up friends! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress/page/2#post-472997 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 03:28:19 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 472997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you LOOK fantastic and amazing in this too! So glad Natalie is "back"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress/page/2#post-472981 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 02:45:17 +0000 Kari 472981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I daresay it looks better on you than on the model! I love the obi belt with the dress.</p> <p>I'm so glad to hear that you and your husband are getting back on better footing. Be patient with one another - but he needs to hear you and your needs, too, and it's good if you can keep the communication lines open.</p> <p>For a bit of detail about how I relate - I'm a very anti-confrontational person, and so is my boyfriend, so he and I are actually having to learn *how* to argue after nearly 4 years together. We have a tendency to sweep issues that are bothering us under the rug, and we learned the hard way that doing this only makes us both frustrated and liable to lash out at each other in a passive-aggressive way. We're both trying to learn how to actually voice when something is frustrating or worrying us, and that also includes a certain amount of picking your battles and deciding what's NOT worth arguing about.</p> <p>I hope that things get better. I'm very happy to see you here again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress/page/2#post-470303 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:42:15 +0000 ironkurtin 470303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hon, you look **great!** Remember, hubby loves you very much, but transitions can be funky. This time next year, he may surprise you... either with how much he loves how you dress, or how he suddenly barely even notices things. Men! Right?</p> <p>Here's a funny story for you. I had a Helmut Lang sweater with the arms cut. It was basically a shirt sleeve sweater with long sleeves sewed on part way. Underneath it I wore a bright long-sleeved t so you could see slashes of color. I was feeling pretty fine, but DH says, "Your sweater is ripped." I said, "No it isn't, look, its hemmed. It's fashion." He said, "That's stupid." At which my little daughter - she must have been three or younger - piped up, "No, it isn't Daddy, it's FASHION!"</p> <p>Mama's girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-470293 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:35:09 +0000 catgirl 470293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! And great to see you back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-470271 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:10:18 +0000 Aida 470271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Natalie this looks amazing!! LOVE the obi belt (my goodness I need one of those) with this. Texture, color variation, and proportion are all excellent. VERY nicely done!</p> <p>(I was sorry to hear about your fight, but it's good to know you are patching things up. My husband also has very strong opinions, but generally has stopped telling me when he doesn't like what I'm wearing unless he really, truly hates it -_- ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-470258 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:58:37 +0000 Fruitful 470258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*thud*<br /> *sound of my lifeless body hitting the floor*</p> <p>What a divine dress (amazing collar!). And how authoritatively you've styled it. The obi &amp; boots, the pop of colour with the bag. You definitely look kick-a$$ not to mention utterly fab. I think you could be an Avenger or even a Bond nemesis in this! </p> <p>Not sombre, just deadly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-470134 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:54:33 +0000 Vicki 470134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goldenpig, this is KILLER and I love everything you've done here with this outfit and I hope it makes you happy and your DH, too! So, "kick-@$$" my darling, because it shows and that obi belt is one fine accessory, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-470124 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:46:37 +0000 suzanne m 470124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are just oozing confidence these days.

The obi belt gives that dress just the extra oomph to go from pretty to sensational! Professional looking, but sexy. I'm lacking superlatives to tell you how much I like this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-470098 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:30:09 +0000 nancylee 470098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza!

Glad to see you back and I just read your post from last week regarding the conflict with hubby about what you were wearing...and all the attendant issues. There was so much wisdom on that post from YLF members and I'm very happy to hear that you are a reflective, considerate wife. It can be hard -- especially when you are a strong-minded woman like I am -- to even consider giving in or negotiating over something you respond to with strong emotions (like color, style, fashion, chocolate, etc.) Continue the process, we are all on the journey together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-469948 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:58:59 +0000 Diana 469948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back - it's good to see you here again and good to hear that you and DH are patching things up. I was just thinking of you this morning since I'm wearing my red trench today. =)</p> <p>I love the sweater dress! The obi belt is the perfect finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-469943 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:52:22 +0000 modgrl 469943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The belted sweater dress is amazing. It is so flattering. You could pop a LS black T under it once it gets colder. I LOVE this on you. It is not somber at all. Totally Fab.<br /> Welcome back, my sister MOTG, you are looking wonderful today. Have a great day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-dress#post-469941 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:51:27 +0000 HelenInCanada 469941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> <p>So happy to hear you are going to strike a balance.

Love the collar of that dress, and the drape of it is wonderful. No lumps, which is hard to do with a sweater dress IMO.
