I love the dress, such&nbsp; rich colors and great pattern, think it still fits well. Great with lighter booties and the jacket, lovely brooche and the others posted, too, love especially the bugs and the antique bounch of flowers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1882153 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 10:45:15 +0000 Mainelady 1882153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you stylefan. Bakelite is something my sister and I keep an eye out for when we go antique shopping together. The bangles always remind me of her.</p> <p>Haha Windchime. Sometimes my students comment on what I am wearing, or want to touch it (or play with the fringe). My colleagues enjoy many of my outfits, which is a really nice way to boost my day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1882078 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 02:18:09 +0000 tanstaafl 1882078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m happy you got to enjoy a slightly warmer day.

I have others, too I. Cherry red, black and lime green. </p> <p>Thanks toronotogirl!</p> <p>Angie, great idea! I think a little intake on the sides is a good idea. It shouldn’t change the shape of the dress much and less fabric down through the waist and hips would be helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881851 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 15:19:27 +0000 Angie 1881851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The way you styled the dress in #2 is KILLER.&nbsp;</p> <p>You could take the dress in a little at the side seams - easy alteration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881826 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 14:28:06 +0000 Helena 1881826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What pretty detail on the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881823 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 14:16:06 +0000 AndiB 1881823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! Love everything about it. Inspiring me to wear my dresses... oh I am wearing one today! Same sort of look as yours! But denim Jeff it’s under. I have Bakelite bangles too! In the same gold color. Need to pull out and wear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881810 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 12:28:20 +0000 Mainelady 1881810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie, you made my day!

I like the waist-less style of the dress.<br /> Nailed it again mainelady. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881791 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 11:29:27 +0000 Mainelady 1881791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy and SarahD. I often do like multiple pieces of jewelry at the same time. It makes me happy to think that I can give some older pieces a more modern vibe.</p> <p>Shevia, thank you! I hope you do go play with the items in your closet! I look forward to seeing your next outfits!</p> <p>Katerina, I started posting pics on this forum for help with color. I have been given that and so much more: support, encouragement, confidence and inspiration! You and your brooches have made me want to see if I can successfully incorporate brooches with my other accessories. I often thought that it was an either or choice: either a necklace, or a pin and I preferred necklaces. With maximal as a trend, I want to try pairing brooches with my necklaces and scarves. I will need to be careful to avoid visual overload. When it comes to bling I could easily tip the scales towards tacky instead of tasteful. Yikes!!</p> <p>Sterling, thank you! IKWYM! I am learning so much from fabbers here and looking at my wardrobe and accessories in fresh new ways. It is a lot of fun! Put in that cuff and rock it! Thank you for the compliment about my hair. It means a lot to me. My hair is nice and healthy. I am not totally happy with the grow out, I really like my own colors coming in, but am challenged by the golden hues of the old colored hair which is from just above my ears down. I will not turn back in the process. I need to focus on the positives and know that every day I will get a little closer to being my authentic self.</p> <p>Katerina, Queen of the Brooches, has inspired me to wear more of mine. I am cross posting pics of my brooches on her Brooches post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881770 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 09:19:05 +0000 Anonymous 1881770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. &nbsp;Although assessing fit is not my strong suit, that dress looks wonderful on you. &nbsp;Your jewelry is <u>spectacular</u>. &nbsp;I am learning that it is these added touches (like bracelets and broaches) that elevate the overall look. &nbsp;You followed Katerina's example by wearing a broach. &nbsp;I will follow your example by wearing a cuff bracelet. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your hair is looking really nice by the way. &nbsp;Thick and lush.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881769 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 08:58:59 +0000 Katerina 1881769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous look on you! I love the dress. It does not look too big at the pictures. The styling with the jacket and jewelry is STUNNING. This might be my favourite of your great outfits.<br /> You have such a beatiful and fun collection of jewelry, love all of the pieces. The bangles are so cool and I love your coral brooch. I am so glad you have decided to include it in this outfit.<br /> Could you consider posting the brooch look also in the brooches thread? It would be a lovely inspiration to other brooch fans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881729 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 04:15:52 +0000 Jaime 1881729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress. It looks great with the accessories. Just looking at you makes me want to play in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881724 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 04:04:41 +0000 SarahD8 1881724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dress looks great. And what an amazing brooch with a sweet story. My happiness factor is high just looking at your outfit.</p> <p>I like how you have used the brooch in a maximal jewelry look with layered necklaces and bracelets. That makes it more modern, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881690 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 01:09:32 +0000 Anonymous 1881690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The straight style does not look too big. I love every detail, especially the bracelets and layered necklaces. The safety pin brooch looks modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-photo-challenge-day-12#post-1881685 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 00:55:53 +0000 Mainelady 1881685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Making a rare winter appearance today is me in a dress with a bare neck. Today’s temperatures were mild, my classroom was at 72 degrees and my schedule did not require I travel between buildings.<br /> I added tights and a jacket, to make sure I would be warm enough. I tried to channel Katerina and wear a brooch. I also tried my tan booties with the outfit to bookend with my hair, but decided I liked my fringed booties a bit better.<br /> What do you think? I have lost a little weight and wonder if the dress looks a bit too big? It didn’t feel uncomfortable and I hope because of the straight style, it wasn’t noticible.<br /> Happiness factors were wearing a dress, not needing a turtleneck or scarf and vintage Bakelite bangles and a coral brooch my grandmother brought back from a visit to Italy in 1968. I remember feeling very grown up to have such a special piece of jewelry. </p>
