Look number 2 is definitely my favourite, or maybe it's just the pose...
ReplyDeleteI like 3 - I'm a big fan of the mustard and red combo
ReplyDeleteLook number 3 for sure! I love the 'dress under skirts' look
ReplyDeleteK
1 for me!
ReplyDeleteLove all these looks! Great find! Have to love ebay. :) x

Number 1 looks to be the best for any place or time of day !
ReplyDeletePolka dot excellence! Can I vote for a "4th look" - a mash-up of all 3? Headscarf from no.1, denim jacket from no.2, and the fabulous tights from no.3.... so let's see you trying all those out for look no.4! x
ReplyDeleteNumber three is gorgeous but I love your boots in number 1.
ReplyDeleteLoving the last outfit!!! HEART HEART HEART!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3!

ReplyDeleteLooks like I wrote something bad now by removing my cooment.... oops, I just posted the same thing twice! #noob
DeleteNumber 3 as well!!
ReplyDeleteooh i like number 3 best i think !
ReplyDeletei am the total opposite of thrifty when it comes to wearing things in different ways - i'm hopeless. :/
Number 3 for me too. I love that cardigan!
ReplyDeleteNo 2 for me, though maybe it's the purple baseball boots that clinch it for me!
ReplyDeleteI love number three, it's been years since i've seen a tie!
ReplyDeleteNumber three is the best look, it is all about the tie; although, I do think the leg lift and power arms make the second one.
ReplyDeleteI like number one the best. I'm ashamed to say I wear all my dresses pretty much the same way all the time, but mix everything else up.
ReplyDeleteCatherine, XO.
I love number 3. I do try to mix up what I wear with my dresses as much as I can. But usually it consists of only changing colour/pattern of tights, boots/shoes, and different cardigans.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely have a go at trying to layer like number 3 though :)
I like numbers 1 and 2 :-) I need to try and dress down my dresses like you've done in number 2! I think I'd get a lot more wear out of my dresses! I have the ultimate multi-wear dress from american apparel though which you can wear something like 15 different ways! That's my fave!

totally 2 for me...if I ever wore a dress that's how it would be! all the looks are good ones!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think I make the best of my clothes but after seeing how you have made 3 completly different outfits with one piece I am not so sure. Your rocking every single look x
ReplyDeleteOnce again we are tight twins! M&S? Love em! And that dress is gorgeous, ebay WINS AGAIN! xx
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like 1 and 3 best. :-)
ReplyDeleteAll great looks but no.2 is most fun especially with those purple converse boots!
ReplyDeleteHugs

This is fab im inspired to do a similar post! http://curvyguru.blogspot.com/ xxx
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 - Smart but with a streak of quirky individuality and fun. And I love yellow/mustard cardigans!
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of No.2 because I just hate anything sports related (especially that sporty is in this season!) ^_^
ReplyDeleteLoving 1 and 3 though! I'd definitely wear No.1 for casual and No.3 for smart or smart/casual.
I love three but anything with a petticoat is a winner for me! I try and mix it up with my work wardrobe so it's like I have twice as many outfits :) xx
ReplyDeleteHmmm tough; I think maybe 2? But I am a sucker for a good pair of converse! Jen x
ReplyDeleteI like your creativity. No. 3 is my favorite, although I like them all.

Love them all, how versatile that dress is and how clever you are!
ReplyDeleteI love them all...had to pop in and look at one dress...three ways!! #3 is a favorite and an inspiration for me to emulate for my Stylin' Sixties blog.
ReplyDeleteI really adore the third look. Loved seeing your creativity with these looks. I'm usually terrible at styling black dresses.
ReplyDeleteI adorar number 3 ,cause the pleated skirt looks lovely on you. and you look like a cute school girl.
ReplyDeletenumber cause I love polka dots myself.
I mix and match all my clothes with whatever I can find.

I love No. 2! All the looks are nice though, and I love the dress.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for number 3 on account of my undying love of a mustard cardi. Thanks for this post, like you say there are challenges to put together great plus size vintage looks so inspiration is always gratefully received! Love reading your blog, you always share such brill ideas, thank you!
ReplyDeleteAmy
Loving look 2 the most although look 3 is pretty sharp. It could be the purple converse that swung it for me...
ReplyDeleteI like the middle one best, but I think it might have something to do with the pose. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great in all of the shots, but No 3 is my fave cos you can really rock mustard!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great dress! I love versatile pieces that work in lots of different ways :) x
