I love that you were able to pull that sort of a 20s look out of your closet!</p> <p>I like the patterned dress too. It has an almost 90s sort of look to it that has my thumbs up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679580 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 23:25:14 +0000 Dee 1679580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I'm honestly surprised by how much everyone loves the cobalt dress. But pleased!</p> <p>Deb, sometimes I wonder if I even have a usual look. Aside from not overly feminine/pretty. But that's what wild cards are for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679479 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 19:29:41 +0000 Karin L H 1679479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blue dress on you!

Definitely the type of thing for celebratory occaisions.m *keep*. I like the idea of styling the new summer dress with a jean jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679197 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 02:36:05 +0000 Dee 1679197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, thanks for the compliments on the blue dress, wow. I agree it hasn't dated, but I think that's partially because it was probably never particularly trendy to begin with. But still cute. And it's stretchy, so it still fits after all these years. And I had actually tried on the printed skirt too but they were out of my size, and the dress fit well, so I got it instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679191 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 02:29:23 +0000 Gigi 1679191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too cute! I have some clothes that I keep around just for events like this. You never know when you might need to play dress-up! I just keep them in a bag or in the corner of the closet and pull them out when needed.</p> <p>You look really great in both dresses. The second isn't too cutesy. It looks like fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679188 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 02:25:22 +0000 Jaime 1679188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great blue dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679185 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 02:22:25 +0000 Suz 1679185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, don't you <b>DARE</b> get rid of that flouncy dress -- it is spectacular on you! I don't think I've seen a dress I liked better on you, in fact (and I've seen you in some terrific dress outfits.) It's just wonderful and hasn't dated a bit. Love how you dolled it up for the fair, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the J. Crew print too and tried to get something in it (a skirt, I think) but they were sold out in my size before I blinked!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679171 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 01:48:03 +0000 Dee 1679171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks everyone! We had a great time (date night). So far, my 30s have involved more costume parties than I had expected.</p> <p>Sharan, I can't wait to wear a denim jacket with it. It just needs to not be 85+ degrees one of these days. But I do see it getting a lot of use, especially because it's long enough to wear to work or to a picnic/concert, etc.</p> <p>Angie, I guess had occasional good taste even before joining YLF! Thanks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679154 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 01:14:02 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1679154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt dress and you look like you had fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679151 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 01:12:04 +0000 Diana 1679151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are fantastic!

The one you wore to the party looks especially great on you. I really like the print on the J Crew. Great idea Firecracker has as a wild card. What a fun party theme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679132 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 00:34:36 +0000 Ledonna N. 1679132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in your flapper dress. How exciting was your night. I like the busy pattern of the dress in 3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679129 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 00:31:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1679129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, you look adorable in both dresses. I would hang on to the first one, too--it looks great on you, and it would be fantastic for special occasions of all kinds. The second one is cute and summery. You can think of it as a wild card. I bet you'll get a lot of wear out of it this season. You can wear a jean jacket over it to make it more "you" for some occasions, too. I bet it was cute with the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679127 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 00:30:23 +0000 Joyce B 1679127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits, it looks like you had fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-worlds-fair-and-today#post-1679123 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 23:59:25 +0000 Dee 1679123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1/2) DH and I went to a World's Fair themed party at one of the local museums over the weekend. It wasn't required, but suggested dress was from any period relating to the fairs. This dress was the first one I ever bought in the women's section, as opposed to the junior's section, about a decade ago. I don't wear it often, but can't quite bring myself to get rid of it either. The drapey layers always reminded me of a flapper dress, so I added a fascinator and pearls. DH wore a striped waistcoat and fedora and we went from the roaring twenties. And had a lovely time playing carnival games and taking photos by the various backgrounds.</p> <p>And a bonus outfit pic!<br /> 3) This tea-length flouncy JCrew dress is not my usual style at all, but something about the pattern and cut just screamed summer to me. Especially because it's 100% cotton. I wore a vest over it to work but had taken it off by the time of the photo. Is it too cutesy? I think it looks better in person than photos. </p> <p>Thanks for looking and comments welcome! </p>
