  Killer to the power of Killer - both renditions. xo

  What a great pattern. Love how you have repeated the colours in your shoes! 

• Debora replied 10 years ago

  A perfect example of Angie's tip to wear sleeveless with a kimono topper. Thanks for the visuals. You look smashing, Suz!

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Wow, Angie, I am awed! Thank you!! 

  And thanks, gorgeous tub-balancing Debora, and Alana. 

  Alana, one of my biggest lessons from YLF has been the beauty of "bookending" or repeating colours, patterns, or shapes for added outfit cohesion. Often we can "bookend" with our hair (so dark haired women can wear a black or cognac shoe, for instance, where a blonde can often wear tan or taupe very well.) But it's also possible to repeat outfit colours for a similar effect.   :)

  Oh wow, the combination of that dress and the Okalas is inspired, and I love that jacket too! You look fantastic. 

• Karie replied 10 years ago

  That gorgeous dress and those fabulous Okalas makes for one stunning outfit! Add in the kimono, and it is "Topper with Dress" perfection!

• Mona replied 10 years ago

  This looks wonderful. The dress was such a great purchase for you.

  Beautiful, Suz!

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Thank you all! And Mona, you can say that again, since I only paid about $35 for the dress or something, thanks to a forum member's tip about a Zulilly sale. It packs like a dream and can be dressed up or down really easily.

  That is just the best dress! You used Angie's topper formula with your kimono. And the shoes are inspired.

  You look wonderful Suz, and I love the combination of that dress and Okalas.

  Great look Suz.

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous!  I adore the shoes with this dress.  The tonal pattern mix is heaven.

• Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

  So incredibly lovely Suz. I really like the strong graphic simplicity of this outfit.

• Jaime replied 10 years ago

  Love the dress and the kimono topper is amazing. And the shoes are, of course, just perfect here!

• MsLuna replied 10 years ago

  Wow! Just WOW!!! Love the dress (LOVE THE PRINT!) and the kimono topper is just awesome! This is a great example on how to wear sleeveless dresses with a topper ;)

• Thistle replied 10 years ago

  Wow, just wow. You look amazing! Love it styled both ways.

• Firecracker (Sharan) replied 10 years ago

  Oh, my gosh! This is how it's done. Well, now we know! Chic and sophisticated look, Suz. I love the shoes and bag you've chosen.

• Neel replied 10 years ago

  Oh my! You look gorgeous! That kimono jacket is just perfect with the dress. And love the okalas with this :)

• jazz69 replied 10 years ago

  You look terrific- perfect shoe/ dress combination:))

• Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

  Perfection!

• lyn67 replied 10 years ago

  Plonk! And you surely know what that means:-))

• Alassë replied 10 years ago

  Very Suz! You've really hit your style stride!

• replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous! The dress, Okalas, and kimono are all perfect, and perfect together.

• jackiec replied 10 years ago

  Fantastic! I love this dress!!!

• Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

  Not at all surprised at the K2K rating, Suz.  You've chosen pieces so well and you edit your outfits so beautifully.  The cut of the dress and the abstract print really shine here.  The kimono has been such a workhorse!

• Lisa replied 10 years ago

  I like both versions, the kimono topper is a nice change from a cardigan or blazer.

• Suja replied 10 years ago

  Alright, I must have a kimono topper. You look fab.

• pil replied 10 years ago

  The details are absolute perfection.

• greenglove replied 10 years ago

  You look so divine- just perfect.

• Gracie replied 10 years ago

  You look gorgeous – the dress fits you like a dream and I love the architectural shape of the kimono... excellent, as usual.

• Astrid replied 10 years ago

  You look absolutely amazing, Suz! I also love both versions.

• replied 10 years ago

  Sublime. Love the rendition with the kimono and bag.

• Elly replied 10 years ago

  I love this-- I think this is working towards the minimalist yet arty look you've been seeking since YLF-- at least that is what it says to me. It says you have style and an eye and like lines and graphic but subtle patterns. Nice pattern mixing, go Suz!

• catgirl replied 10 years ago

  Just gorgeous! Wish those dresses had lower necklines but for you long necked gals it's perfect.
