I do have one I especially like that's much lower-profile which I like with this dress as well. And while I rarely wear big earrings, I can see how that could work nicely here instead of any necklace at all. <br />Christine: Thanks! And yes, I'm loving these Fluevogs -- so wear-all-day comfortable, yet they're punching above their weight, style-wise.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-82775576030559310672010-10-23T12:30:46.488-07:002010-10-23T12:30:46.488-07:00Are you kidding?

And yes, the opera blogging is a fun gig -- I'm v. pleased about it.<br />LPC: Thanks re the dress. As for the necklace, it's so personal, isn't it? I like the strength of this one (simple shapes, but large enough for impace, hammered-texture surface) for the way it can stand up to, and enliven, the black. It does actually fit Imogen's rule of filling a curved (scoop) neckline with a curved-shape necklace, but that's not to say something else might not have worked better (and I have worn different choices with this dress) -- I'm curious to know what you would have filled that space with -- I'm sure it would be v. tasteful. (In fact, for much of the day, I had that red scarf thrown around my neck for a bit of warmth).<br />Tiffany: Yes, you spotted it -- it's the Kelman, nestled right in near Kafka and Kesey . . .<br />Patricia: Yes!

You do ...I like the dress - it's not too short. You do all that running and biking, go for it. It's not undignified looking on you. I probably would have worn a different necklace, though, in a different shape, or that worked somehow differently with the neckline. Of course, I have trouble with necklaces over all, so I may not be a good source of input. Imogen had a great necklace post this morning - and as I said there, it's the thing I struggle with most in What To Wear.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69312880302777155462010-10-22T16:39:41.466-07:002010-10-22T16:39:41.466-07:00I *really* don't think the skirt is too short,...I *really* don't think the skirt is too short, especially when worn with the boots and tights.
