I'm away and have only had periodic access to internet, so I don't know if any of you will read this at this point, but thanks so much for the encouragement about the look. I think Laura hits the nail on the head when she says that how we feel about a look makes a big difference in how we perceive it. The dress is too tight to be comfortable, so I think that spoiled my whole Scholar Style Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600298487096240635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812208221444119357.post-42319656659371982032010-06-29T20:15:22.003-04:002010-06-29T20:15:22.003-04:00I love this and think it's a great look.

Your dark hair and the dark dress might be blending together--again, it could just be the photo--but maybe putting your hair up or pulling it back would also lift/lighten the look.

I think the crispness of the fabric and the white shoes makes the outfit look super duper clean, which might bore you? You look great.

I a...I always have trouble styling shiny garments.<br /><br />I agree with you that eyelet is a "safe" lace for many workplaces - it doesn't carry the same connotations of sensuality that a more traditional lace does.<br /><br />Warm accessories would work, but I also like what you did with the pale greys and ivories. Those colors definitely lighten up the palate.Katie from Interrobangs Anonymoushttp://interrobangsanon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812208221444119357.post-27945953744924870972010-06-28T10:15:07.929-04:002010-06-28T10:15:07.929-04:00For what it's worth, I think this is a complet...For what it's worth, I think this is a completely successful look, lady. The light accessories DO make it seasonal, the layering is great, and the silhouette totally works for you.
