Would You Wear It? – A Different Take

20 Comments

1. Oh! The tomato red dress , if it is indeed a warm red as it appears on my screen. I love the simplicity of it, the beautiful necklace that brings the eye up, and that I have the perfect pair of low shiny sandals. I would paint all my nails in a matching red and wear my simple bangles and hoops. I would play with some thin cashmere shawls that I own to see which color would look most surprisingly interesting. The deep sea green? This dress would be easy to hem if it didn’t hit the right spot. Lovely. I like simple. I like bold. I would feel elegant. The jean outfits are a maybe. I am not sure about the crop length or the cut of the topper sleeves but they inspire me to play with similar pieces in my own wardrobe in cut and color for me. The prints do not fit my style personality. My eye is all over the place as I look at them, I like the eye to rest. On my tall, slim friend they might look stunning.
   Fun, Pamela. Have a nice weekend. My daughter and family arrived last night. Lots going on!

2. Sign me up for the cropped white denim and the cropped jeans. I would feel comfortable in those with many tops, blouses and sweaters in my closet. Everything else are styles and colors I don’t wear. I knew this was Chico’s because the prints and jewelry are always too big for me. I admire Chico’s on other ladies.

3. Have fun with family, Deborah! Thanks for starting us off today!

4. Thanks for joining in today, Karen!

5. Of the green palette, I would wear the ankle palm leaf pants but not with that top. I think I’d tie a white linen shirt at the waist, because I don’t feel it needs the green and that style of top is not flattering to me. Maybe a pearl statement necklace and neutral sandals. Or a white short sleeve jean jacket with a leafy green top, not that dark green. Again, not my color. The neutral outfit appeals and it may be my monitor, but the shell has a yellowish cast that does not work with the topper. No on the dress, for me the print is too much. But for me, most prints are too much! I do appreciate the fact it has sleeves.
   The red palette is interesting. I love the dress, but warm red is not my red. The prints are, as I said before, not for me. I like to add touches of individuality with shoes, accessories, and jewelry. I have two of the belts in the pictures, and crop white and blue wide leg jeans. I’ll experiment with those!

6. I would be most likely to wear the crochet knit ruana and jeans in the top photo. The ruana is a little long for my 5’5” body, but with the cropped pants would likely not feel like it dragged me down. I like the bit of sparkle in it, and it would be a versatile piece for travel and cruising. My least favorite in that assemblage is the solid green blouse and the printed pants. I find the blouse, with its embroidery plus puffed 3/4 sleeves too feminine for my style, and I just never like printed pants on my longer torso, as I feel they shorten my leg. These prints are refreshing and summery to my eye though. In the second photos, I’d be most likely to wear the red dress. I like the color and line of it, I like and wear sleeveless clothing, and there’s a big field for accessories and even for a nice jacket or topper. Lovely and versatile … if I decided to bring in another dress (other than my Chicos Travelers pieces for cruising, if I buy a dress, it sits in the closet). I would be least likely to wear the printed dress, but it was a toss up. Large prints don’t fit my adjectives, and this one feels too high contrast and unable to be accessorized in the ways I like.

7. In the first display I love the long ruana because it is classic but a little different. I look good in the one color white column and like the matching belt. I like the green print pants but the top is too short, revealing my least attractive area: the middle. The dress would look too long and busy for me. In display number two I can’t see anything that would look good on me. Three emphasize the waist and mine isn’t small and the other has a top that has an oversized print with short pants and that would emphasize my wide hips. I’m a size 16. I’m going to shop my closet for my long sweater.

8. Thanks for your evaluation, Susan!

9. Thanks so much for thinking this through with us, Linda.

10. Thanks so much, Mary for your honesty in your thought process.

11. Because of my cool coloring, none of these would work. I do wear Chicos pants and jeans so the white would work with one of my blue tops. Warm colors like these are just not in my color palette. I’m petite and do not wear prints. I prefer to were either shorts or full length pants or jeans. Regular crops are ankle length on me. The item least wearable for my coloring would be the red dress. I like the style and in a cool blue or grey I would wear it. Chicos needs to offer cool tones and more petite sizing to attract me as a buyer.

12. Oh, I would most definitely choose the lovely linen print dress! This unusual multi-print is interesting to my eye, without being too busy. I usually avoid red, but this reads as primarily the neutral background color, especially near the face, so I wouldn’t hesitate. Little straw/raffia clutch, a simple natural leather sandal, and a neutral wrap for a cool evening. I would be least likely to choose the green printed pants with dark green top. I tend to wear only simple geometric designs if I do go in for a printed pant, like subtle striped or small gingham. The dark green is the color of my favorite winter cozy sweater, so I view this color as out of season somewhat right now, for me anyway.

13. Thanks so much, Connie.

14. We are just st dealing with these displays, but Chico’s has tons of cool colors and many petites. You can click through with these links to see it all…now is a great time to get the cool colors on sale. Thanks Sydney!

15. How’d you manage to go to Chico’s and find so many mannequins wearing outfit I wouldn’t wear. There are 2 of these pieces I’ve purchased but most are not patterns, colors or styles that warrant me to take a second look. So the green top and maybe the ecru top. My wardrobe is about 95% Chicos. I do like the red items – but that red is too orange for me. I love the dark green, but the print is just not the right green for me. And I keep trying on the wide crop pants and putting them back in the return pile. My legs are too slim and too long for those pants and maybe there is too much of the ‘high water’ pants feeling left over from my youth.

16. Thanks for explaining why they don’t work for you…that helps others to maybe understand what they are experiencing.

17. in the 1st group, although I love a good green but the print doesn’t appeal. I like the neutral outfit, I haven’t gone to the belted trend yet. but would wear it. Now red is a favorite. love the maxi dress and could wear casual or dress up. I personally cannot wear dolman sleeves. I have a large bust and all that fabric is not flattering. Love both pants but would need a different style for the tops.

18. This was a tough one for me and I was going to sit it out until I read DeborahLM’s comment. I would wear the red dress after having it shortened to knee length. I like the color, fabric and style, just not the length. A simple dress like this is easy to dress up or down. Next time I see a dress that looks perfect except for the length I’ll consider whether its a candidate for alterations. As far is which would I least likely wear its a toss up between the caftan dress and the crocheted sequin ruana in the first photo. Both has just way too much volume for me. I prefer a more tailored silhouette. I was able to locate that roll sleeve tee for Pam because it caught my eye a while back but when I looked closer and read the reviews I saw it has dropped shoulders and is boxy, two no’s in my book.

19. So many outfits to choose from and I think the only piece that would fit in with my closet is the cropped palm print pants. I would wear with a crisp white shirt and sandals.

20. I would definitely wear the red linen dress. I liked the necklace that was displayed with the dress. I would wear a small earring and natural color high heels. Red is my favorite color and I would feel special when I wear it. My adjectives confident, tasteful, current, stylish fit this dress
    I would not wear the crinkle chiffon kafton dress. While it is styled for petite I would feel overwhelmed with the large print and the amount of fabric.
