A LGD- little gray dress dress up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1434152 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:51:58 +0000 ElleH 1434152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done on the shoes. Nice dress. The classics don't date very quickly do they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433986 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:57:43 +0000 Alassë 1433986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very well fitting dress, good colour, nice minimalist outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433888 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:09:57 +0000 columbine(erin) 1433888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great dress on you!

I like the simple, clean lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433655 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:59:40 +0000 anne 1433655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Karie - we were writing at the same time. &nbsp;I haven't done much to keep the dress going apart from a couple of seam repairs - it is the quality of the fabric that has done it. Just machine wash and doesn't even need ironing.</p> <p>Ruth M I think the armhole fits well because it has neck darts at the top - can really help.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433652 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:57:23 +0000 anne 1433652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shipskitty and Harmonica. &nbsp;<br />I too,eally prefer 1.5 or at most 2 inches in blocky heels or wedges. But I have so few work suitable shoes, that it occurred to me that perhaps I should try to get a few more wears out of this black pair. I bought them quite some years ago - maybe 5 years - and Angie warned me that I'd find it too high and she was absolutely correct. But they were quite expensive, and I didn't have any highheeled pumps (or Mary Janes, which is the closest I can wear to pumps) so I have kept them as sitting shoes and wear them to interviews and the like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433651 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:56:03 +0000 Karie 1433651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a gorgeous dress - I love the straight cut and the boat neckline. Kudos to you for keeping it in great condition all these years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433646 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:37:45 +0000 harmonica 1433646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress! </p> <p>I keep several shoes at work, too. Nice way to break them in and also get lower CPW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433608 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:39:40 +0000 shipskitty 1433608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely fit on that dress! You've done well if you've had it that long - a classic design and not dated looking at all.</p> <p>I keep some of my heels in my locker at work or I bring them in my bag because I mostly commute in flats. Most would be 2 inches or less though (2.5 inches is my limit)&nbsp;which is where I am comfy for work shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433602 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:31:09 +0000 anne 1433602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ruth. I didn't work today and my feet have been fine in my flat sandals...<br />I learnt the trick of wearing in shoes at the office from a former colleague. We all had extra shoes in our drawers!<br />The dress was from the Australian shop Portmans which I have always found make very long wearing woven clothes. I did take it in a little around the upper hip to avoid the hip flap that I often used to get (because I have my hip width quite low down).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433597 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:19:39 +0000 Ruth M 1433597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in that dress.&nbsp; It's&nbsp;perfect for your colouring, and the fit looks great all over, and particularly around the shoulder/armhole area (which I find terribly difficult to get right).&nbsp; I can't believe the dress is from 1999!&nbsp; It must have been a quality brand in the first place, but even so&nbsp;...&nbsp; </p> <p>How sensible to bring a spare pair of shoes in so that you could break in the higher heels.&nbsp;I hope your feet feel fine today.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-with-heels#post-1433593 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 09:53:07 +0000 anne 1433593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided I should try to get used to wearing high heels, so have brought them into the office to wear them in - and here they are - not that you can even tell they are in this photo! &nbsp;3 inches and fairly thin! &nbsp;I lasted til lunchtime!<br />I wanted to show a work picture to show Trekkiegirl that I do wear colourful makeup (lippie and eye shadow in this one) but I really don't think this photo show it!<br />Old YLF's will have seen this dress a lot. I've had it since around 1999 - still going strong!</p>
