Feel asleep at the MET during a high school trip. My dad was a huge opera fan, despite his attempts none of his kids ever had any interest in it </p> <p> Christina..this is fab. You can tell from your smile this is an outfit you feel comfortable in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2009296 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 18:30:18 +0000 Christina F. 2009296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady - thank you for your feedback! I’m glad the tucking worked</p> <p>Thank you, firecracker and Kathie. I had a great time. </p> <p>Gigi, yes, the sweater is a great favorite of mine for being the exact right shade of red. Thank you! I’d go to your friend’s party! The operas we saw were by Jean- Philippe Rameau, and they were too short operas pereformed originally at the French court, including some dancing. As a result, they were essentially fluff pieces but very enjoyable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2009087 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 03:24:53 +0000 Gigi 2009087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! You have found the perfect shade of red for you. I love how the sweater picks up the red in the skirt.</p> <p>The tucking is great. I agree that now is the time to show off that short waist (I've got a short waist too). :)</p> <p>I have a friend who loves baroque opera. She used to track down video recordings of obscure ones (this was back in the day, before the internet) and then hold dinner parties at which she and her friends would watch the opera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2009043 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 00:25:18 +0000 Kathie 2009043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print on your skirt is perfect for the opera! Hope you all have a lovely time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2009029 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 00:11:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2009029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look for your evening out, so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008959 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 22:39:21 +0000 Mainelady 2008959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! Your motif skirt is so much fun and the red top tucks smoothly into the waist of your skirt. Beautiful rich colors on you! I hope you have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008874 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 19:37:49 +0000 Christina F. 2008874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I always feel a little weird tucking something into a high waisted skirt, since my waist is so short, but I figure that's the look now. So I'm trying to get used to it. Glad it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008810 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 17:40:31 +0000 Bonnie 2008810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit - sounds like a fun evening to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008798 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 17:20:52 +0000 Jessikams 2008798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh enjoy! I am an opera fan too, but a trek to a different part of town plus a performance does sound like a long day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008778 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:52:42 +0000 Angie 2008778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>You look elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008777 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:51:36 +0000 taylor 2008777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful today .<br /> Great week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008751 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:32:50 +0000 Cardiff girl 2008751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now we are talking Christina,love the red with the skirt and the slicked back hair,a little drama ,perfect for the opera! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008692 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:22:58 +0000 Christina F. 2008692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Bijou - thank you! This is two short French baroque opera, so I actually think it's only two hours long. Since it's in Brooklyn and I live in Manhattan, it will take me a while to get home on our terrible subway system, so it will feel like a long night :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks, suntiger - I'm sure it will be, especially since I'll have an expert with me.</div><div><br /></div><div>JAileen - I fall asleep at the opera all the time. And I'm a fairly serious opera fan; my favorite operas are stuff most folks haven't heard of. There are people who are more serious than me for sure, though. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, the upper tiers at the Met are dark, and the music is often so pretty. My allergies factor in, too. It's often very long. It's not because I'm bored. So you can tell your friend you know of an opera fan who is always dozing off. No one has revoked my opera fan card yet!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008687 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:17:05 +0000 JAileen 2008687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks perfect for work with dinner and opera following. I went to the opera once, in high school. I fell asleep, and my friend hasn’t let me forget it all these years later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008686 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:16:05 +0000 Anonymous 2008686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks perfect-and very true to you! Hope the opera is fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008683 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:12:29 +0000 Bijou 2008683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have definitely got it all happening today, a great signature Christina look. That is a great skirt, especially paired with the red knit. I hope you have a wonderful day and night. Going to the opera is fun, but I do find they can go on a bit, obviously I need to be a bit more cultured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-5---back-on-track#post-2008674 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:01:52 +0000 Christina F. 2008674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>After what I considered <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/being-me-day-4---possible-failurehttp://">a stumble yesterday</a> in the being me department, I am back on track. (Yesterday's outfit wasn't bad, just didn't feel 100% me for some reason - missing an element or something.)</div><div><br /> </div><div>Tonight, after work, my in-laws are in town and taking us to dinner and an opera. That is less fancy than it sounds! The dinner is moderate, and the opera is at Brooklyn Academy of Music, not the Met. (Not that I dress up for the nosebleeds I sit in at the Met, anyway. Opera is long! Gotta be comfortable.) Anyway, we're going because my MIL is an opera historian, and we're seeing a composer she's an expert on. I thought it would be nice to dress a little, since my in-laws likely will.</div><div><br /> </div><div>But I gotta be me, so I'm wearing bright red, and a skirt with a motif. I do LOVE a skirt with a motif, and a midi, to boot. I used to have a lot more skirts with fun prints, but many ended up orphans so I'm stricter about them, but this was a no-brainer purchase because I can always pair it with black or red knits. The sweater is a red mock neck, and I'm definitely into that silhouette at the moment. I also love midis with tall boots.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>So, overall, this is very me today. :)<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>NB: I even put on makeup, since I'm going out later.</div><div></div></p> <p>ETA - bonus weekend shots of outfits worn for some museum going. Plus what my makeup looks like, when I do it! </p>
