The dress hangs so nicely on your frame. The shoes have a touch of tough, the jacket a bit of masculinity, to balance the dress. LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420546 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:12:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1420546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is terrific!&nbsp; You've already identify the most important element:&nbsp; the balance of flow and structure that feels like you, is flattering, and is office appropriate.&nbsp; I like the scrunched sleeves -- after all, skin is "structure" too!</p> <p>I think the abstract pattern is great for business, and also adds a bit of "zip" to a neutral outfit, to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420447 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:06:40 +0000 harmonica 1420447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! The fluid blazer is super cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420379 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:37:31 +0000 lyn67 1420379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, you have super duper fab legs in this dress(and sandals), love it with&nbsp;the blazer on, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420343 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:28:15 +0000 L'Abeille 1420343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you nailed it Hil! The structured blazer over flowy looks very office-competent yet very you.</p> <p>Have you tried one of those sleeveless jacket/long gilet thingies? That might give you the same balance yet allow you to keep it on in the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420337 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 16:18:00 +0000 Angie 1420337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. Nice layers, Hill. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420267 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 14:02:11 +0000 Jaime 1420267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific work outfit for you and I do think it is the structure of the blazers that make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420232 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:12:03 +0000 Elly 1420232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look and agree that the structure of the blazer takes the dress and sandal combo somewhere they otherwise might not go. Maybe a linen blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420179 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:30:17 +0000 Lucy 1420179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks pretty much perfect to me! I like the juxtapositions of the softer dress with the sharper blazer and dressy shoes. YLF for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420167 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 08:52:52 +0000 Anonymous 1420167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket structure and softness of the dress certainly work for me. I like the proportions a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420156 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 07:56:56 +0000 anne 1420156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick reply. The length makes it different from your usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-christmas-dress-revisited#post-1420155 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 07:42:29 +0000 Hil 1420155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello lovely fabber friends! Happy new year to you all! </p> <p>This is the dress I wore on Christmas day, revisited for a day at the office.</p> <p>I am absolutely loving the way this feels and looks, even though I know the blazer won’t be on past 9am, once the Jozi heat sets in, even in our air-conditioned office. I feel like this is a look I can really embrace for my work life and I would love your help in analysing whether it works and why it works? I think maybe it is to do with the (dark) neutrals and the softness of the dress combined with the relative structure of the blazer. I am craving a work day look that reflects me, my slightly offbeat and arty nature, while still being put together and stylish and suitable for a semi-corporate environment.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and as always, any feedback is appreciated. </p>
