I knew wearing it that the B44 dress did not feel ME. I love the color. I love the length, but in the end I would feel self conscious wearing it and not be able to wear it to work because of this. I can return no problems, so have chalked this up to a good lesson learned. I can move on from my intense longing for one of these dresses, enjoy them on those who wear them so well and spend my $ on something I'll enjoy more. I'm learning to really be picky, but in the best way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710800 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:06:10 +0000 Mellllls 710800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i really really love #1 and #2 and agree that the dress is just not as fab as your other outfits :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710795 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:01:46 +0000 Angie 710795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As much as I LOVE outfit #5 - you should return the dress if you can. Can you? YOU have to wear the outfit, and not us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710707 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:14:11 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 710707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable kidlets Jj. I think the silhouettes in #1 and #1 are great on you and you look very confident in them. Number 3 does appear to be sitting below the natural waist and mucking with the proportions a bit. </p> <p>The B44 dress looks nice with the jacket and booties but if that is the only way you feel comfortable wearing it, then it might not be worthy of closet space. Knits are hard. Some just flow beautifully over the body and other grab and cling to everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710703 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:08:53 +0000 Suz 710703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeanne, I adore you in #1 and 2. #1 just knocked my socks off. So polished and professional and with an ON top, yet!! That seamed skirt in red is fantastic. </p> <p>As for the dress, I completely agree that without the jacket it's not the best. BUT - with the jacket and boots it's sensational on you. I guess it's all a question of whether you can spend that kind of money for something you don't love. I vote send it back if it's not you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710657 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 07:56:48 +0000 Kiwichik 710657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 &amp; 2 &amp; I quite like the striped dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710458 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 01:30:20 +0000 Jaime 710458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 but maybe your adorable sunflower girl is influencing me. I also like very much the long lengths on you, although you don't like the red dress, #5 is fab! Maybe another material same idea? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710453 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 01:23:35 +0000 goldenpig 710453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your son and daughter are so cute! 1-3 are very much your style. I actually love #5 on you with the boots and jacket, but your face says it all. If you're not happy with it, you're not going to wear it. It's too bad, because it's really pretty on you, but I can see it's kind of different from your usual style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710360 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 23:31:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 710360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love the B44 dress with the jacket and boots but the bottom line is if you're not happy with it, then no point in keeping it.</p> <p>Your other outfits are just lovely Jeanne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710321 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:44:44 +0000 Angie 710321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am mesmerized by #5. WOW!! The combination is stellar for Fall and SO FLATTERING with your colouring. </p> <p>You always look gorgeous, Jeanne. You have a great sense of style :)</p> <p>*still mesmerized* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710314 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:33:08 +0000 celia 710314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1,2 and 3 are beautiful outfits that look gorgeous on you(and , of course, the bonus darlings on 1 &amp;2 make all the diference)</p> <p>I was also kind of not impressed in the beginning with the fabric of the B44 but although it seems very thin it has hold on pretty well , is warm and camouflages more than I though at first. However I had to size up a lot so that it fell comfortable, even if form fitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710275 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:07:09 +0000 Deborah 710275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jj you look amazing. The red skirt is too die for! All very put together a d stylish looks. The B44 dress I agree souls go back. I never posted but I had the same issue with one (an Aussie version) that I tried on. I found it very unforgiving and the fabric too thin not firm and flattering. It's just not good enough for you. I did buy the skirt version though and I love it. If you are particularly interested in this style maybe a skirt could be an option? I think that might be more in keeping with your style:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-710253 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:36:00 +0000 harmonica 710253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 and #2! I echo Dana on trying to pull up the skirt a bit. The B44 dress doesn't seem too go with your style and if you feel that it is too body con, move on to better things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709716 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:18:51 +0000 Anonymous 709716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving 1 and 2. I actually like the Bailey with the blazer and boots, but yes, it can be too vadaboom, off to big and better things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709713 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:15:26 +0000 Thistle 709713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love one and two. Your style really shines there.</p> <p>Three, while I see how Angie inspired you, perhaps you could make a few tweaks to make it your own? I agree with Dana on trying trying to bring the skirt up to your waist.</p> <p>Four doesn't really seem to fit your style, although it comes closer in the fifth picture. All the worse if you don't like the material as you won't chose it from your closet. Can you return the dress? If not, I would see if you can consign it. Or maybe try eBay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709708 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:11:53 +0000 JulieJohn 709708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 and #2! Very pretty bag in #1. I agree with you on the red dress, too bad though. Not crazy bout #3 but you're on track - keep trying. Thanks for sharing, JJ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709701 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:07:04 +0000 catgirl 709701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just chopped my B44 dress this morning! Could you hike it up and see if that would help? It's flattering but not forgiving to me, so I can only wear it on "skinny" days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709676 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:30:28 +0000 Dana 709676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am drooling over your style in #1, and I love #2 also. Re: #3, can you pull your skirt up to your waist more? I think that would make the whole look be a lot more kicky! I actually kind of like the dress with the boots and jacket. It needs shape wear (which I wear all the time) but it looks like one of those dresses that 1 pound could make a difference of flattery or not. You probably wouldn't naturally grab for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709665 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:18:17 +0000 lynn 709665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love one and two!! I agree with moving on to better things with the striped dress as it doesn't flatter your lovely self. Cute sidekicks too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-sunflower-bomber-and-a-b44-miss#post-709650 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:09:54 +0000 Jjsloane 709650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The intent was to wear items I had not worn all summer. I veered dangerously off course and missed a few photo days.<br /> 1. First Day of School ON top I wore to death last year and not at all this year. Love the tribal/geo print of it. Red Halogen seamed pencil skirt, Necessary Objects jacket, Sigrid Olsen bag, VanEli pumps, surly (not really, but in this photo) 2nd grader<br /> 2. Full disclosure: NEW navy sheath Jones NY ($24 after discounts and on my fall must have list) Boden stripe jacket, Cole Haan Wedges. Bonus: Sunflower girl Bomber.<br /> 3. Attempt at Angie copy of midi skirt (mine is linen Ralph very full) and White button down ( LL Bean), animal print belt (Gap) shoes Naturalizer. Did not in the end like this combo on me, but the idea is still there.<br /> 4-5. My Bailey 44 Orange dress long awaited and not keeping. This is without shapewear, but I really am more unhappy with the quality (originally $188 I expected much thicker material), I think I've realized I'm just not a body con va va voom gal. DH was not overly excited. Tried with Matisse booties, and nude boots and camel jacket) I lamely tried styling (5) but in the end it is not enough me to justify even the half price discount. On to better things. </p>
