Really, a HEWI for me is a killer almost- formal pants outfit since I freeze at indoor galas and it seems easier to pair a great jacket with pants than with a dress AND because I feel there are more footwear options that are remotely comfortable.<br /> In some ways I think the goal is ( for me at least, with pear issues) is for pants to be very appropriate style and fabric and flattering fit, but black, which is more forgiving AND formal, but not the star attraction, so that a killer top and or jacket in face- framing/ flattering style and color/ sparkle/ glam is the focus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-semi-formal-event#post-1505519 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:48:16 +0000 kkards 1505519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the idea of wide leg pants for a semi formal event,--with a metallic jacket sounds fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-semi-formal-event#post-1505513 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:34:53 +0000 Olivegreen 1505513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes.

Probably with black heeled sandals, as it usually is &nbsp;still warm enough for sandals or I have other shoes that I could wear if it gets colder. </p>
