WIW - More Warm Winter - YouLookFab Forum

It is still warm here, and I am finding dresses to be my best option these days. Wish I could manage some high quality pictures
#1 is what I wore to a Bat Mitzvah service and luncheon yesterday. The dress is Nanette Lepore and the shoes are Delman, both deep discount finds. I think it may be time to retire the shoes because of the height of the heels. The Bat Mitzvah wore a blush pink crepe dress with an empire waist and trumpet hem, a white silk tallit (prayer shawl) and sparkly kipot (head covering). She was totally at ease in front of about 250 attendees - truly a superstar!
# 2 is what I wore to see the Oscar-nominated short films at a local theater. They were incredible - if you have a chance to see them, I highly recommend. Fashion-related note: one of the films starred Jane Birkin (of Hermes bag fame) - delightful! This dress is Madewell and the sandals are BZ Moda. I bought the frayed hem denim dress intending to pass it on to one of my daughters once it frays itself shorter. Until then, I will keep it neat by trimming the white threads. I am thinking I might prefer a more casual shoe with the dress - maybe birkenstocks when it gets warmer or slip-on sneakers?

You look lovely in both dresses! The second one would work with birkenstocks but they look good here too.

Oh! We're going to the Oscar nominated shorts, in two weeks. You look lovely in #1. Too bad about the shoes, but I feel the same way. #2 is cute, too. What about nice looking sneakers? Maybe it's too warm for that. I bought these Vionic sandals that are pretty casual. Something like that would look nice, as would Birkies. I haven't worn them yet, though. Funny, last year when we went, we had to dress for very cold weather!

Both dresses are lovely.

I need your Nanette!

Sneakers or another casual shoe would be super with the second dress, I concur

Sal

The first dress is lovely, is that embroidery?

I also like dress 2, it really suits you. I think the sandals are fine with it but I can understand that slip ons or even sneakers could be fun too. Either way it looks a versatile piece.

Thanks for the kind words shevia and SusanHunter.
Ledonna, once your nugget comes, you will be back to wearing cute sandals before you know it!
chewyspaghetti and Kiwigal, the black dress, which does have embroidery, was a great find. It has some of my favorite elements - tailored and structured shape, fun decorative element and the bonus of the design being vertical.
racheylou, the Nanette would look super with your leopard coat.
JAileen, we saw the live action shorts - would have loved to have gone back the next day to see the animated. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Great looks! The denim dress looks versatile and not even close to being too short.

You look gorgeously elegant and FAB in both outfits.

Ryce, we're seeing both. We've gone a couple times before. It's at the university, put on by our local NPR station.
