They really are cozy. I have to confess I don't wear anything that isn't cozy or comfortable. I just won't wear uncomfortable clothes - I can't stand to fuss with anything during the day, even for an outfit that looks great.</p> <p>ETA Pinterest is great, I love the idea behind it! Enjoying your pins too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754571 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:59:42 +0000 catgirl 754571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your dress looks - they are so cozy and pretty at the same time! Have been enjoying your pinterest pins too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754550 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:41:59 +0000 Angie 754550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! You are blessed to be language savvy like our Inge. </p> <p>Can't wait to see the coats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754517 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:23:42 +0000 Astrid 754517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think so, it was always fairly easy for me to understand a structure of a language, I never had to learn much grammar. </p> <p>I ordered two coats from LE, maybe they will arrive this week. I hope one of them works out. If not I'm going to layer up under my thin coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754511 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:19:05 +0000 Angie 754511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You obviously have a flair for languages :)</p> <p>Wrap up at the end of the week! How is the coat hunt going? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754508 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:16:05 +0000 Astrid 754508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Denise! I remember when I first got the dress some people commented that I should try it with a red belt and I didn't have one at the time. I think I'm going to wear this belt with this dress in all variations this fall. :)</p> <p>Thanks Angie! And yes, posting at the same time - sometimes I check in a second tab if I have new comments because I take so long to write my answers. The weather really was magical, that's the right term. I think we will get near freezing temperatures this Friday, it's so weird! And thanks so much for complimenting my English, I'm so happy to hear that! I only learned English in school and then only as a second language. My first was French, but I forgot almost everything because I've never used it since. I'm also honoured to be crowned Queen Boho, that's a title I will gladly accept! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754498 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:08:47 +0000 Angie 754498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cracks me up. We posted at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754496 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:08:20 +0000 Astrid 754496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Asingh! I'm definitely wearing #2 again if I have to dress up for work, you're right.</p> <p>Thanks Elly! Loving that dress too - it's so easy to get the vibe I want when I wear it. </p> <p>Thanks Karie! You're right, the belt is higher with the first dress. But that's because of the empire waist of the dress, because of the gathers it looks strange when the belt sits lower.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! I first thought it might be too bright with all that black and grey, but now I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754495 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:08:12 +0000 Angie 754495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! Like how you incorporated Oma's necklace into your style. Meaningful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754491 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:07:06 +0000 Angie 754491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Papa said the warm weather in the Netherlands yesterday was magical and so weird :)</p> <p>#1 is a gorgeous bohemian outfit! I hereby crown you Queen Boho. </p> <p>#2 is fun too! I love how you rock your flats with dresses and skirts. </p> <p>Astrid, your English is SUPERB. It's hard to believe that it is not your first language when you engage on this forum. Truly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754472 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:58:16 +0000 CocoLion 754472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the belt with the dressy dress in the last picture. Worn with the black jacket/sweater, it adds the perfect pop of color to the outfit, without bisecting you. </p> <p>Nice pendant, it's special to wear things from our grandmothers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754465 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:53:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 754465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pendant looks so pretty Astrid - what a special item to wear! Love your red belt with the checked dress. I'm a sucker for a single red accent.</p> <p>Your floral dress is so pretty - looks great with the red belt too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754464 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:52:58 +0000 Karie 754464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>both dresses are beautiful - I like #2 best. I might lower the belt on dress #1 - it looks higher than on dress #2, but that might just be the angle of the pic. Pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754463 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:52:18 +0000 Elly 754463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the necklace- perfect way to update it and the floral dress is always one of my favorites as I think it is an elegant way to bring in your boho vibe. Looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754459 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:50:47 +0000 Asingh 754459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, both the outfits look great. I like the bohemian vibe of the floral dress, and the belt really brings out the red in the flowers. The second outfit is more formal and great for office/work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754445 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:45:18 +0000 Astrid 754445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Parsley! It's not as visible with the jacket layered over it, so that's okay. I'm not sure if another alteration would be a possibility, but I could ask.</p> <p>Thanks Carole! I didn't have the pendant with me when I bought the chain, but I think it worked out perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754425 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:27:35 +0000 Carole 754425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great, Astrid. I love the new red belt, fantastic with both dresses. The necklace is so lovely and looks the chain was the perfect choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754422 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:26:00 +0000 Parsley 754422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your red belt is a great accent with black, Astrid!<br /> I love the checked dress in the second outfit on you. If there are fit issues I can't see them.<br /> Can you have it taken in a little if needed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2---dressy-in-black-and-a-boho-look-with-new-belt#post-754397 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:10:44 +0000 Astrid 754397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was atypically warm yesterday, so I could wear my floral dress together with my new red belt (marked down 50%). The red isn't as bright IRL as it seems to be in the pictures, it actually blends in quite well with the red in the floral. </p> <p>I also wore my grandma's pendant with the new chain I bought for it (I asked about that recently). I think the the round chain looks more modern than the ones I already had and goes better with that style of pendant. I think this will be a new favourite!</p> <p>And another more dressy look also with the new belt. I'm actually not wearing this dress all that often anymore, since I lost some weight the fit is a bit strange.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
