You are all so, so sweet.</p> <p>IK, the scarf is Gap from a few years ago. I loved the pattern (abstract floral) and punchy colors, so I snatched it up for full price, even though I normally find pretty, less expensive colorful scarves at Old Navy. It is narrower than many of my other scarves, so initially I struggled with how to style it. Recently I discovered that it is narrow and light enough to use as a headband with long tails trailing out from under my hair (I felt fab that day too!), and now that I've discovered how much I like the neck-tie look, I found another application it's perfectly sized for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-648153 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:19:09 +0000 Jem 648153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress!

I love how you de-bombshelled with dress. I'm mentally filing this idea away. Not sure if I've tried a scarf with my b44 dress yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647689 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 02:18:00 +0000 rae 647689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this dress on you any way you slice it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647590 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:35:38 +0000 Anonymous 647590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You accomplished your goal and look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647589 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:32:27 +0000 Jenava 647589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So awesome! You look wonderful in this outfit and I think the additions you made give it a lot of personality and show your fun style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647581 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:18:03 +0000 christy 647581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shu, this dress is really fabulous on you. Dresses just suit you! I think this is fun and the touches you've added have helped tone down the potentially va-va-voomy dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647577 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 23:13:25 +0000 Vicki 647577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shu, you are va-va wonderful and I love the combination of stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647573 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:56:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 647573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shu, you did a great job of de-vooming the dress. I adore the length of the scarf with it and the jacket really takes it down a notch. I bet that dress would be great for those occasions when you need an outfit to do double duty from day to evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647562 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:23:39 +0000 Deborah 647562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look fantastic Shu! Your styling of the dress is creative and fun. With or without the jacket looks great. I have also see this dress worn with a long length simple draped cardigan:). Hope you had a great weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647559 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:17:49 +0000 Beth Ann 647559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress, simply but very smartly styled. I think you met your goal (to keep this dress family occasion friendly) and then some! A pop of color brings attention to your face, and the peep toes are a perfect touch of casual femininity. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647556 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:12:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love this - with and without the jacket. You look stunning in that dress Shu! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-taking-a-couple-va-vas-out-of-the-voom#post-647549 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:03:12 +0000 Shu 647549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today was a whirlwind of pre-k graduation, overnight 7th birthday celebration, and Father's Day lunch with my in-laws. I wanted to be comfortable, so I chose my Cha Cha Vente dress, but with all those morning/family activities I didn't want to look like I was trying to be sexy. My solution: a knit jacket over the dress added coverage, and a (pattern mixed!) scarf tied like a neck tie added color and (I think) playfulness, and finally, a black peep-toe flat added sweetness and hopefully the whole combination kept me a few steps back from the brink of cougar-dom ;).</p> <p>I have been finding more and more lately that I want to inject more creativity and personality into my style, and I was really pleased with how this outfit turned out in that regard. I spent most of the day without the jacket, and with the occasional breeze kicking up the ends of my scarf I honestly don't remember the last time I felt so playful and fab in an outfit. Big words, I know! </p>
