And the "fabtastic" is a typo for "fantastic" but I'll leave it!</p> <p>The denim jacket inspires me to suggest: A cropped leather jacket with white top underneath, or, if it exists, a denim style jacket, but made out of a denim-bluish velvet or other luxe material. I agree with the Carolina Herrara approach also of beautiful white blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements/page/2#post-1493438 Tue, 19 May 2015 10:34:32 +0000 viva 1493438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm swooning. So gorgeous and such a smart buy if you have the life to support it. I'd love it with a superfine ribbed sleeveless cashmere turtleneck too. I like when there is some skin showing to balance all the material of the skirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements/page/2#post-1493428 Tue, 19 May 2015 09:34:10 +0000 Summer 1493428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are going to have such fun styling this, and, as you say, you will never have to stress about a dressy event again - great buy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements/page/2#post-1493362 Tue, 19 May 2015 04:33:38 +0000 Cococat 1493362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great skirt and great ideas for styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements/page/2#post-1493249 Mon, 18 May 2015 21:59:05 +0000 catgirl 1493249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super amazing!

Just perfection. I like Kirstjen's suggestion of the angora sweater, as seem to remember Grace Kelly in just such a skirt and sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements/page/2#post-1493187 Mon, 18 May 2015 18:08:58 +0000 tulle 1493187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great, versatile piece!&nbsp; For Winter holidays, you could pair it with an ink-blue cashmere sweater, maybe tucked into a wide black belt, and some sparkly crystal or rhinestone jewelry for a rich contrast to your blonde beauty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements/page/2#post-1493108 Mon, 18 May 2015 14:01:43 +0000 Carole 1493108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning piece...I can see so many possibilities!

Though I do think it is far too glamorous to wear with the humble denim jacket. Angie's photos with the white shirt and statement jewellery are wonderful and a faultless way to go. I like the idea of fine cashmere, silk or bejewelled top also. The possible options and colours are plentiful though I think classy and sumptuous rather than casual would work best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-with-casual-elements#post-1493054 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:00:03 +0000 Anonymous 1493054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look gorgeous!
