Both outfits are fabulous! How about with a skirt and boots or booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791518 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 13:59:01 +0000 Alecia 791518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've had some great suggestions. Wanted to add some love the first pic. The belt with that jacket just kills me. Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791508 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 13:35:19 +0000 sarah 791508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I love your ideas. I especially love the idea of a column of winter white under it, but alas, I think I'm going to try to SYC on this one, for all the reasons that were discussed in Suz's post the other day. I don't want to buy one more thing that will only be worn for the holidays, and winter white trousers, while lovely, don't really have a place in my salt-encrusted, snowy Minnesota winter wardrobe (remember, "practical" is one of my style adjectives).</p> <p>You've given me some food for thought, and I'll go away and mull it over. I have worn this with a pencil skirt (grey, with a black cowl and boots) and it looks quite nice that way, too, although I'm feeling like pencil skirts are rather "work-y" these days. Not sure why... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791451 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 09:27:27 +0000 Deborah 791451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah I miss your posts:). This jacket is gorgeous on you and I think it would be perfect for the holidays. I particularly like #2. Given the parties are casual is your preference to wear trousers? And would you be leaving the jacket on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791430 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 07:53:08 +0000 ManidipaM 791430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOOPing for love of that jacket! It's a statement festive piece and hardly needs dressing up. Would be a great less-conventional addition to an LBD or black skirt though, and I adore what you've already got in #1 for daytime. You could just add a tiny hint of sparkle, if that speaks to your style, with a bracelet, pin or earrings.</p> <p>I also like the suggestions to try it with grey or black pants and a different colour of top. White works either way, the easiest one by far. A whole column of white, as Suz suggests, underneath would be so elegant and cheerful --- like robin redbreast. I can also see it underpinned with a dark green for contrast. Or a houndstooth or tweed pants/dress/skirt, if you enjoy mixing patterns.</p> <p>Such a beauty, I say again! With so many possibilities and so flattering for your colouring... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791364 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 05:03:04 +0000 Anonymous 791364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either of these outfits would work just as they are. You could wear the jacket with a black, silver or grey sequined top under it and either jeans or your black pants.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791348 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 04:48:55 +0000 Suz 791348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sarah, this jacket was positively MADE for holiday wear of the casual kind! It is perfect. I like it just as you have it (for different types of occasion). It would also look great with ink blue, winter white, or grey columns of colour beneath. You could try it with a pencil skirt for a slightly dressier but still casual event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791266 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:00:00 +0000 Isis 791266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great Christmas jacket! Cheery and warm! It'll be a great foundation for your holiday outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791194 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:54:09 +0000 RunnerChick 791194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great - I especially like outfit #2 for a festive occasion. The jeans are lovely and i would like them tucked into boots too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791193 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:53:39 +0000 Jjsloane 791193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, but lean toward 1 with the addition of something sparkly (that's me though) like a pin or earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791185 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:49:46 +0000 sarah 791185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kelly - I wasn't even thinking that one of these was a contender. I'm not sure I can pull off what Rae can pull off, but it's worth a try, eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791179 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:46:28 +0000 kellygirl 791179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these--especially the BF jeans with the leopard belt. I think the second version would be awesome with your black CH boots to add some interest to the bottom. Or what about tucking the BF jeans into the black CH a la Rae? Looking good there, sarah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-holiday-outfit-1---ideas#post-791169 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:42:26 +0000 sarah 791169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm a bit embarrassed to be posting since I have been so absent lately, but here goes. I have only two holiday parties (well, besides work stuff) - both are family gatherings that will be very casual. I thought I would build one outfit around this jacket, since it's fairly festive. Any suggestions for styling this jacket for a family holiday gathering?</p> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p>ETA: I'm not necessarily suggesting either of these outfits, but they show the jacket. </p>
