Keep dotty around. She's fab! You look terrific, as usual!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwturning-a-miss-into-a-hit#post-1245463 Thu, 08 May 2014 13:05:28 +0000 Erikajl 1245463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second outfit too!! I have a black dot shirt that I "just" purchased from online and it's in the bag to go back. I may drag it out and try it with white pants and a black sweater to see how it looks! &nbsp;But you know, if it takes too much work to make it work, and you don't love it, providing you have enough other clothes,&nbsp;maybe it's not for your closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwturning-a-miss-into-a-hit#post-1245263 Thu, 08 May 2014 03:48:57 +0000 Anonymous 1245263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My black dotted shirt is on it's last leg but I may have to give it a reprieve trying an outfit with white jeans. Yours is very inspirational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwturning-a-miss-into-a-hit#post-1245257 Thu, 08 May 2014 03:43:45 +0000 Isabel 1245257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, yes, it is an absolute hit. I agree with Neel in that I like 1, but you knocked it out of the ballpark in 2.</p> <p>My theory ? &nbsp;Your shirt was somehow blessed and transformed at church. &nbsp; ; &nbsp;) &nbsp;It happens.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Just a little parochial humor........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwturning-a-miss-into-a-hit#post-1245246 Thu, 08 May 2014 03:33:17 +0000 Neel 1245246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work jackiec. I like outfit 1 but I love outfit 2. The polka dots peeking out of the swearer is too cute! You should definitely give that top a few more chances! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwturning-a-miss-into-a-hit#post-1245243 Thu, 08 May 2014 03:28:16 +0000 jackiec 1245243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On Sunday I got up, threw on an outfit for church and headed out the door feeling less than fab in the pouring rain. The shirt was on its "goodbye" tour b/c it just has never worked for me. See pic - I have the sleeves yanked up too high, the front seems to be too short (although it's a high-low hem and the back is quite long), and the black and white dots aren't doing much for my colouring (paired with black AE jegging jeans, Cole Haan riding boots, and Karen Millen raincoat). Anyhoo I threw on my grey raincoat and headed out the door. Then&nbsp;I thought the black and white dots might be nice paired with some optic white - so gave the shirt one last chance on Monday to go out for a birthday lunch for a friend. I paired it with my Current Elliott white BF jeans, Trouve Vneck sweater, and black Bocage booties. I felt FAB in this outfit (although the front bit of the dotty shirt is a bit twisted in the photo)!!! Realistically some heeled booties or even the black Okalas would have been even better, but I have had these booties for almost a year and have never worn them. The other issue was that the friends I was meeting aren't the tallest people, and when I put on heels I feel like a monster. It was a flats day. What do you think? Did I turn a miss into a hit??? I think I might let the dotty shirt hang around for the summer :)</p>
