I often don't manage to get WIW pictures of what I wear for holiday dinners, but this time I tried to do a little pre-production photo shoot. It actually worked out well for me because I saw what to change. See if you agree with me, or better yet have better ideas!

#1 Inspired by some sort of fusion of the Burberry and Prada shows I decided to try this thrifted Guess denim jacket with this silky pencil skirt. I did not wear this but I do want to explore the jacket as top concept in the future.
#2 I did wear this. Heels would be more flattering but flats are easier to move around in.
#3 Inspired by the concept of dress over pants I tried this. Decided it would work so much better with flared pants and heels, what do you think?
#4 Wanted to wear my new thrifted Gucci loafers - yes, I obnoxiously found a pair of older Gucci loafers at a charity shop, and they are only slightly too big
- but switched to less high vamp shoes when I saw this.
#5 Total disaster and did not wear. I have owned this very interesting wrap skirt for years (it wraps without the little slots to pass through the belt). Unfortunately if I wrap it under my ribs it is way too high on me. Also, I am bothered that they did not use a print on the other side.

I would love styling ideas for any one of these outfits or items!

Clothing details: Every single item here was inexpensive second hand so no finds but for those of you who like designer names anyway, the blue skirt is Dries van Noten, the black and white top is Nili Lotan, the blue tunic/dress is 3.1 Phillip Lim, the black and white dress with big dots is Nicole Farhi, and the wrap skirt is Israeli brand Frau Blau.
