Which outfit? Please vote (early and often)

Well, I *am* in Chicago. We vote even after we're dead

I'm going to be reading from my novel at a reading series called Tuesday Funk, which takes place at a very awesome bar in Chicago (the Hopleaf, for the locals), and I need input on what to wear.

Which outfit do you prefer? Despite the way it looks these days, I am not averse to adding some color via accessories -- suggestions welcome!

1. Tweedy Max Studio dress: http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009006.jpg
2. Sack dress with military jacket: http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009010.jpg
3. Plaid dress: http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....009011.jpg

Hey, can I throw in another question? Do you like #3 at all? Is it a keep or a return? (Still has the tags on, as does #1).

#2 - hands down. No competition. Funky and arty, but still tailored and serious. PERFECT.

I love all of them, Laura. The last one is really cool. I just like the combination of outfit two for the event. VERY arty and funky.

I am also going to vote for number 2. I have to admit that I was one of the naysayers (maybe the only naysayer) when you first posted that sack dress way back when but I have really loved the ways in which you have styled it - especially this! I like number three but it needs something (not sure what) to add some edge. Have you tried it with your moto vest?

Since you're going to be in the spotlight, I agree with others on outfit#2. You look great!
Runner-up: Outfit#1, with a bold statement necklace.

Outfit#3: I love the shape of the dress, and I like plaid, but I dunno...

Another vote for #2, but please keep that plaid dress as well, it's a super look for you! (where do you keep finding all these awesome dresses Laura, I need you to take me shopping with you!-)

All are fabulous, but #2 will be perfect for the Hopleaf.

Speaking of which, when is your reading? I like the Hopleaf, I like you, it seems like fate!

Wow, I'm impressed by how unanimous this is! I looked at the photos before seeing others' comments, and I also thought #2 was the clear winner.

We need to set up a group chant, like at a sports event: Num-ber 2! Num-ber 2!

Without looking at anyone else's response, I veto the third outfit. The other two are both stunning but the second one is a cut above, i think. The military jacket is a knockout.

Oh, it's so nice to have a clear winner, unlike the infamous drapey purple top (and Loulou's trench!!).

Kristen, the reading is at 7 pm on Tues., Oct. 6, upstairs at the Hopleaf. Three other writers will be reading too. Come and have some Belgian beer, mussels and frites with us!

#2 is definitely a winner.
I really like the #3 dress, definitely keep. Where is it from?

#3 was uncovered at Macy's dress dept. for a fab price. Angie is sooo right about Macy's dress dept. You have to look around a lot, but there's good stuff there. My other dress destination is Max Studio. They have a huge range of dresses!

I just want to clarify that I like the third dress but I just saw it after fabulous #2 and it paled in comparison. And I'm biased in favor of the tweed one

Regarding accessories, I read somewhere that if you are doing a reading, it is good to wear some type of finger-ring since your audience will be spending a long time looking at your hands. I'll dig up the link if I can remember which blog it was.
