I'm really drawn to it for myself, though. I kind of want to try the look with some black sweaters and leotards. Is it really a bad look that should never be attempted?
For whatever reason, I feel really naked in this dress and since I hate my flabby upper arms, I cherish the opportunity to cover them. I'd probably wear the dress exactly the way Lis is wering hers (black sweater and black boots with textured tights)
Thoughts?
(on a side note, she was my girl back in the day...I still adore her. How can you not love someone who does this with an album cover?)
I think it's a cute concept that Lisa Loeb doesn't pull off that well. I think her outfit is weird because her dress isn't a casual dress, so her outfit just seems a little....strange. I love the dress that Maddie posted--I think that would look really cute.
By the way, I can't see your second pic, so I'm not sure what your dress looks like.
I agree that it's her dress- have you tried it on? Try to on & post a picture! I think you could pull it off. And I have to agree with you about that album cover. Her new show intringues me....

Sorry to hijack, but what is her new show? She had a show on the Food Network awhile ago with her bf, Dweezil Zappa, and I swear they were the most boring people on earth, which surprised me. I would have thought they would have been more interesting.
I think it'll be really cute with your dress! It doesn't work with hers because of the fabric, but overall I really like the look. I think I've seen cute pictures of Kirsten Dunst pulling it off nicely too.

http://www.eonline.com/On/Single/ Apparently she's not with dweezil anymore - since her show is called Single? And I'm with you - I would have thought they were interesting too.
Sorry lilykind to hijack your thread!

I have absolutely no idea who she is but I don't really like Lisa Loeb's outfit. I agree that it's because of that particular dress and I think you could definitely pull off that look.
My first thought was that you could always pair your dress, which is beautiful btw, with a cute cardi to cover your arms. That's what I usually do when I feel too exposed.
I agree that you could pull it off. My thought though would maybe be to do some textured tights that are a little more sheer - I think part of Lisa Loeb's outfit problem (aside from the dress being a little fancy) is that she looks really covered up. IMO letting a little skin peek through w/ the tights and maybe some shoes instead of boots might be a little more balanced.

I don't think it looks too bad on Lisa Loeb. If the dress was a little less poufy, then it would look better.
You can totally pull that look off though Lilykind. I also think that dress you posted would be perfect for it. Please post a picture in TS when you get the chance.
