While this may not be the usual outfit for you it looks like a great background piece to dress up in different ways. Like wearing a big glitzy statement necklace or a really vibrant scarf or belt. I like classic with edgy accessories. I like Megan Mae's tights suggestion too. <br /><br />I do like the outfit on you.

I am with Lynne, it needs some jewellery but otherwise I like how we can still see your fabulous legs, but the overall look is more conservative and vintage.

I think the cut of the short jacket, and the nice swing of the skirt, combined with the lovely Mary Janes, make you look like a stylish and successful working gal. I'd add some earrings and a cuff bracelet and a ring to give it that bounce of bling that always entertains me during long days at a computer :)The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-9408485811231810672013-02-27T08:17:06.742-05:002013-02-27T08:17:06.742-05:00Your dress is gorgeous as as Style Agent 909 sugge...Your dress is gorgeous as as Style Agent 909 suggested, an updo or bun and some cat eyed glasses would just sass it up completely.<br /><br />You look divine.Wendyhttp://simplysassystyle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-59047719255966309792013-02-27T08:13:28.823-05:002013-02-27T08:13:28.823-05:00Such a classic, sophisticated look.

This dress channels a certain 1960s First Lady vibe to me, and looks really becoming on you (the fit in the shoulders really looks good on your frame). Perfect shoe choices, they compliment your elegant frock perfectly. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your immensely nice comment on my vintage outfit post this morning, dear Ally. You're always sweeter-than-sugar with your touching, lovely compliments. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-6637701991368021162013-02-26T10:32:13.396-05:002013-02-26T10:32:13.396-05:00You look very office-ready in this outfit!

And its theme is a conservative one, reflecting society's choice, not mine.<br /><br />Thus, I agree this outfit doesn't look like something I'd create because I didn't create it; instead, I'm adopting a socially-determined look for a woman. I wanted to explore how it felt to do that. I'm processing the experience now, with the help of the feedback in the comments.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-67352784127386093152013-02-26T08:47:12.630-05:002013-02-26T08:47:12.630-05:00Thanks.

The cut is good on you - the jacket hits higher than a natural waist and since you're not hourglass-shaped, the colour hitting the pattern gives you a waistline. So the shape and cut are an A+! <br /><br />I'd agree that this isn't your usual style, but it's good to experiment and see what YOU like on yourself. It's boring to always have to bring out the "shazam" because that's what people like, so don't be afraid to try something new! You never know! :)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-91307482078873144032013-02-25T23:38:55.874-05:002013-02-25T23:38:55.874-05:00It's a pretty outfit, and you look a little pr...It's a pretty outfit, and you look a little prim in it.
