So pretty and practical. I envy (in a good way) your ability to rock midi dresses. And this challenge is so fun to watch, not a small part because we are getting lots of outfit posts from you!

I don’t wear dresses, but I will have to figure out a way to play.

Oh my word, such lovely comments. I’m blushing.


RainB and Kelly, what gracious things to say.

Sharan, Style Fan, Janet and kkards, Sam was eager to get going on his walk. Not so patient!

Bijou, YES. These little terriers LOVE their walks. And their toys.

Gigi, Cardiff girl, Celia, DeAnna, Sara, thanks for the kind words.

Jane, long and treasured is dead right.

Mirjana, you’re sweetheart.

karen13, you make me laugh! Can we get you into a skirt?

You make dressing in dresses look effortless for any and all activities. I am really enjoying when you show us your switcheroos. I am one who comes home and changes my clothes before walking or dogs. You have inspired me to try just switching out what is necessary.

Mainelady, thank you. It's probably the type of dog walking that allows me to switch like this. The city, and a small dog.

Angie, I've been off line for a few days and am just catching up now. You look absolutely sensational in both versions of the outfit, of course. but to see those photos of the Valentino presentation brought a happy tear to my eye. Brilliant.

So pretty! I love that dress, and it looks perfect paired with red. I completely change my clothes after work and before walking the dogs, but it’s the ‘burbs here, along with some wooded areas, not the city.

Suz and Karie, thanks for the awfully gracious comments.

So ladylike and elegant! Your love for the Valentino brings a smile to my face. And handsome Sam! He's a star!

Becky, what a sweet thing to say. Thanks for your ongoing loyal YLF support.

Killer gorgeous both ways, both levels of dressiness & matched with both accent colors-did not think this can be such a versatile dress! YLF Angie!

That dress is amazing on you. So crisp and fresh; so Angie. Must rave about your hair and the red accessories, too. Then, the bright citron Furla AND a matching cell phone case? You are remarkable.

Keep enjoying and know your enthusiasm for dresses has nudged some forum members who try to never say never out of pants territory when the weather permits.
