One outfit for work then salsa

Laura

Hi everyone, I've got to go to work (normal office + refrigerated laboratory for marine specimens). After work, I plan to go to a salsa party. I love dancing, much like another Fab member here, Ledonna. Instead of going back to hotel room to change, I was thinking of wearing this outfit for both work & dancing. Think this outfit is good for both the very casual office plus dancing afterwards?

- purple cardigan (to be removed on dance floor when it gets too hot)
- low cut blue sleeveless top (breathes well, shows skin for dancing)
- gray skirt (long enough for work, loose enough for dancing)
- glossy 60 denier tights (warm enough for lab, fun enough for dance)
- fur lined knee high leather boots (padded to make heels more comfy)

It's a cute outfit, warm enough for the "meat locker". But would it be too warm for dancing? I'm thinking of the fur lined boots in particular.

I love your style but would agree with JAileen about the boots. Do you have a change pr in your car or in a bag? I keep a wardrobe in my car lol I know about going home and having to come all the way back to the city to dance. Layering up is the key. Love the outfit by the way. Your style is fierce.

Gorgeous skirt and boots. It would look great for dancing. Would it be comfortable for dancing for one or two hours or all night.

@JAileen - Hahaha .... you made me laugh when you coined the term "meat locker" for our marine specimen lab. Interesting nickname As for my fur lined boots, I find that a soft plush fur lining inside my boot offsets a bit of the discomfort of dancing in heels. The plush lining makes it more comfortable so I can dance longer but you are right, my fur lined leather boots & tights can get quite toasty. Until I find a good comfortable alternative for dancing in heels, this is what I plan to start the dance in ...

@Ledonna - That is a very good idea, keeping an entire wardrobe in your car for different functions throughout the day!!! What items do you have in your car trunk now? Are you afraid of clothes getting wrinkled in the trunk of your car? ..... As for my boots, the fur lining makes it really comfortable for dancing in heels. None of my heeled shoes or sandals can come anywhere this level of comfort. That's why I usually wear boots for dancing, plus if someone steps on me, it doesn't hurt as much lol. Maybe I can keep a lighter suede boot in the car I can change into if these pair of fur lined boots gets too warm. These boots also have zippers I can lower to let out some heat if it gets warm too ...

@Rachy - Thanks!!! That means a lot coming from you.

@Sally - Thank you. The top breathes well, the skirt should allow for sufficient leg movement, these boots are very comfortable. This outfit should be good for quite a bit of dancing, after which, I will probably be resting with a cool drink in my hand

I keep different things in the car and I don't dance in heels. I tried that once I had to hobble back to,my car and did not bring flats. I was so bummed. I keep 2 light weigh jackets, 2 scarves. 2 printed a pair of heels and a small bag of jewelry. I have a small weekender I keep in. The trunk of my car. A few things to freshen up with. We have showers at work just in case some of us have to work overnight.

I wish I could ,dance in heel your are amazing
