I have to say, I wasn’t so sure about the dress, but now I LOVE it. What a fab addition to your wardrobe. Perfect for many occasions, and it looks fantastic.

Oh yeah the shorter length makes such a huge difference! Mind you, I didn’t think it looked bad or anything before, but now it looks perfect.

You really look wonderful, Lisa - so chic and modern! I’m disappointed I won’t have the chance to attempt to shamelessly copy your expert styling. Length and accessories are spot on - and your soft makeup is the perfect touch!

I’m also more than a little jealous you can go out in public and know that unvaccinated folk are wearing masks. Enjoy your newfound freedom!

It's a great look top to bottom Lisa and I think the dress will prove to be really versatile.

Quick question; I have my eye on the same sandals in anthracite, how do you find them comfort wise? How far are you able to walk in them?

R&J - these sandals are so cushy and comfortable , but aren’t walking shoes . They are slides so ….. ? I have worn them for an 8 hour workday , but I’m not really walking any distance in them .

Ryce - I didn’t realize Texas was still locked down ! Restaurants just reopened here and you can only eat inside if you’re double vaxxed . Masks still need to be worn in and out of the restaurant and are mandatory everywhere else still - even while working out at the gym !

What a great hot weather look and eating out,with lipstick on!Whoo,hoo,things are looking up!

That's great Lisa, I won't need to hike in these sandals but would need to be able to walk a mile about town in them

The dress looks wonderful on you and I really like the cream accents. Make up is done to perfection! I have also started wearing lipstick again. It has become an unexpected happiness factor.

Oh wow. This is a indeed a good look — So glad you took a leap for a new silhouette.

Adding my voice to the chorus who love this dress and cream accessories on you, It looks effortlessly elegant.

So great to see a "going out" outfit! You look terrific. The dress works beautifully at this length and I can envision it as a real workhorse. CONGRATS on getting an evening out with lipstick, even! Yippee!!!

Ooohhh, very nice! The length looks great and the cream accessories are summer-ific! YLF!

You look great and isn’t it wonderful to go out again!

Wow- perfect!

Maybe I missed the original post or forgot it, but the length looks great, and so do you!

LP - I can see why you're feeling the ease of dresses right now, and you did this one proud.

Thank you all again ! I'm pleased with myself for having tried a different look, and for finding another winner from this company. It's really motivated a change in direction for how I want to dress in the summer.

R&D - I don't think we are talking about the same shoe, are we? These aren't walking shoes.

You look awesome Lisa - at ease, chic with just a touch of edge ... perfect!

Very chic look and so nicely pulled together. You look casual, elegant and I bet you feel like YOU! It is so nice to get out and about again. I have only managed two patio dining experiences so far but both made me appreciate that getting out and making an effort to pull an outfit together is rewarding and fun.

That dress really is very chic casual. You were smart to have it shortened to the length you want.

Fantastic! It looks gorgeous on you! And I love the cream accessories--they work so well with your hair. How fun to be out and about again!

Looks stylish and comfy! I'm glad you had a good time out.

Wow, this is killer on you-very inspiring look and feelings on the look, too! I still didn't wear mine-is too hot for so much fabric at the moment...:-(.

SO freeing and comfortable in the heat! I need to plan an outing for my summer outfits

The dress looks great, and I’ll bet it’s very comfortable in the heat too!
