And the scarf is the perfect touch.</p> <p>I vote for the boots, because they make it more fun to me.</p> <p>I am also quite jealous of your culture where people dress nicely for dinner parties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1069483 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 06:27:09 +0000 LoveSarahDub 1069483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! And that red trench is amazing, on a side note :)</p> <p>I prefer it with the boots, it seems less fussy to me, but I think you definitely make it work with either choice! Your point on your culture dressing differently for certain occassions is well-taken, I discovered this sort of thing when I moved from Pennsylvania to Arkansas (obviously not completely similar since I'm not breaching actual borders or anything :)!) But I found myself dressing up for occassions that I would have went much more casual for up north when I moved to the south. So that being said, if the heels are more appropriate, they look great too!</p> <p>And I apologize for the rambling, but you're spot on in choosing that scarf! Paired with the red coat, it adds great playfulness to your beautiful, formal outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1069479 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 06:22:54 +0000 catgirl 1069479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so well-put-together - I want a party where people dress like this!&nbsp; It shows a lot of consideration for the hostess when you make the effort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1069474 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 06:10:01 +0000 kellygirl 1069474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always a treat to see your outfits.

That's an interesting lesson for me: to amp up the modern - wear boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068579 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:43:42 +0000 always trying 1068579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit goes well with the boots and shoes.&nbsp; IMO boots always seem more casual, even dressier ones, so if you want to be more dressy wear the shoes.<br />I absolutely love the red coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068505 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:31:25 +0000 Ingunn 1068505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie, for responding so quickly! I'm so glad you liked it. Boots it is, then! The red coat has become a very important signature piece for me, and I can't imagine not having it. I'm so glad I listened to you back then.</p> <p>Thank you all for giving very good and elaborate advice as always :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068501 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:25:39 +0000 Angie 1068501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely killer stunning from head to toe, Ingunn. I vote tall boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>That red coat was your best purchase ever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068474 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:06:34 +0000 carambola 1068474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is gorgeous! The scrunched sleeves add a casual touch. I have a slight preference for the boots since they go with the belt, but I have some matchy-matchy tendencies, so take that for what it's worth. Love how the leopard scarf and red coat play with the rich plum skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068472 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:06:08 +0000 Suz 1068472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it both ways, Ingunn! Indoors I might prefer the shoes (for a house party) but either way you cannot lose. And thank you for the inspiration!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068469 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:03:06 +0000 Von 1068469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this color combo, but I too am on the fence. I like the shoes because it's unexpected and goes nicely with the scarf and the fall vibe.&nbsp; I also like the boots because they are an edgy twist to your ladylike skirt and tuxedo top.</p> <p>Soooo, it's safe to say I've been no help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068464 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:58:59 +0000 texstyle 1068464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots do add a slighter more modern vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068444 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:44:30 +0000 Ingunn 1068444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! It seems to me that&nbsp;I'm on the right track - phew. Thistle, the skirt is not black, is has a rich plum color. I like the shoes a lot, but I feel that the boots add a slightly more modern vibe, which is good in my book. Do you agree?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068441 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:43:36 +0000 Anonymous 1068441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Ingunn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068438 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:42:32 +0000 Tanya 1068438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit Ingunn!&nbsp; I like it both with boots and shoes, with ever so slight preference for the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068414 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:30:18 +0000 Thistle 1068414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look elegent and put together. I love the red coat and leopard scarf!&nbsp;</p> <p>My only thought is maybe adding a pop of color somewhere as the black and white feels a bit strict for a casual dinner party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068411 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:28:50 +0000 Jaime 1068411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great. Shoes seem more dinner party like but I think I prefer the boots, so I am no help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068410 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:26:55 +0000 Parsley 1068410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful and elegant way to wear your tux shirt, Ingunn!<br /> You will look beautiful for your dinner party!<br /> I like it with the boots, but it's also pretty if you change into shoes. (I don't know what is customary where you live.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068408 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:25:30 +0000 texstyle 1068408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really nice - and you could go either way with the boots or the shoes. If you choose to go with the shoes, the gloves and scarf are good bookends to those so maybe I'm leaning slightly towards the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-outfit-with-tux-shirt-for-dinner-party#post-1068397 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:14:24 +0000 Ingunn 1068397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie and&nbsp;all,<br />Yesterday two very nice things happened: First, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-tuxedo-shirt-inspiration">I got a lot of inspiration to wear my lovely tuxedo shirt more often</a>, and next, a friend invited us over for a small dinner party on Saturday. Wow! I want to wear my tuxedo shirt then for sure. But how?&nbsp;</p> <p>I've made a suggestion where it's paired with my plum full skirt. I've added black micro fishnets, a narrow black belt and my snakeskin brownish peep toe pumps. I have a very meager collection of clutches, so it has to be the white Danier one from this Summer. I'm going to wear black heeled boots to and from the party, maybe even at the party. For topper - the red coat, of course. I've added the leopard scarf for warmth, and the black bag and brown gloves (I don't have black ones yet).</p> <p>Remember that Norwegians dress up more for parties and less for work than what's common other places. I feel that the dressiness level of the skirt is ok, it is after all of wool, and not a very festive fabric. Should I keep the boots on instead of changing for shoes? My friends won't mind that.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Should I remove or add anything?&nbsp;Please be honest.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
