I do still have my gold glitter pumps.... too garish for the military? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-786012 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 15:17:27 +0000 Angie 786012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you have LOADS of pumps, don't you? Or did you give them all away? </p> <p>Fuchsia sounds fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785981 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 14:09:43 +0000 Thistle 785981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 with black shoes. </p> <p>My dad was military, but that was 30 years ago, so not sure how much it has changed. Back then, it was very conservative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785889 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 04:57:48 +0000 rae 785889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Black jacket it is!</p> <p>Angie, my only pumps right now are fushia suede with a wooden heel. I will play around with it and see if I can make them work... maybe if I end up finding the right belt? </p> <p>If not, I am feeling good about the black shoes. As many said, they are more substantial, wintry, and covered. Almost like a peep toe pump. They were also inherited from my BFF, so it will make me happy to wear them for a special day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785882 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 04:15:35 +0000 Ariadne 785882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit! Definitely black + black. I can't get over your new hair--it's wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785819 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 02:30:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 785819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black &amp; black imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785740 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:41:16 +0000 Debora 785740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!!!! Black jacket and black shoes. You nailed it - I salute you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785583 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 21:06:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 785583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like the group has spoken and you know what to do Rae - just wanted to chime in to say I think you look stunning in that dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785578 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 21:01:22 +0000 Lisa 785578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote black shoes and jacket. They have a more authoritative look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785530 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:05:46 +0000 Vicki 785530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so gorgeous, Rae, and I LOVE your new haircut. I'm voting black, too, and your idea of a sequined belt really sparkles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785524 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:59:10 +0000 Anonymous 785524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black jacket and black shoes because they look more substantial and winter-y to me (the shoes). And yes, they look lovely with your hair. A belt with some sparkle would be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785509 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:46:24 +0000 Mo 785509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto on the black shoes, black jacket. Shiny skinny belt could be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785508 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:45:42 +0000 unfrumped 785508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for black jacket. I like the black shoes better than the red because the more closed/substantial shoe seems to balance the top better. A bit of sparkle in belt or bag or jewelry would be great--play with stuff you have to see what adds the bit of dressiness or "specialness" to the more tailored items, but I like the clean-lined look--the dress and jacket look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785499 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:25:13 +0000 texstyle 785499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it's honoring the military I think wearing a bit of red/white/blue is a good idea. But even beforeI thought of that I was leaning to the red shoes because they add a slightly dressier vibe to me, I really like the red shoes with a red belt in this instance - either jacket works with that combo for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785479 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:04:46 +0000 deb 785479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black shoes, black jacket vote here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785472 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:55:27 +0000 JR 785472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second jacket is beautiful, but I don't think the colour combination works quite as well. I don't find the black shoes too boho.</p> <p>All that being said, you can't go too far wrong with any of these combinations. You do dressy conservative surprisingly well. Do you wear earrings at all? Sparkly earrings could be nice here. Or a sparkly clutch, seeing as you are trying to add a celebratory note. Or a rhinestone brooch on the lapel... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785471 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:54:54 +0000 Beth Ann 785471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for black and black! A bit of bling would be great, too. And this is the first time I've had an opportunity to say that I love your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785467 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:51:34 +0000 Angie 785467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the black jacket. How about pumps instead of sandals? </p> <p>My thumbs are up for a sparkly skinny belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785461 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:47:14 +0000 Suz 785461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love the black jacket and shoes best. And sure...a bit of sparkle in the belt wouldn't hurt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785460 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:46:09 +0000 Emily 785460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black Shoes, Black Jacket is my vote. Very ladylike and pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785458 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:43:59 +0000 Claudia 785458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 with black shoes.</p> <p>I love the style and fit of the dress on you, and the color is one of my favorites. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785456 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:39:23 +0000 MsMary 785456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Tuxedo Jacket and Black Shoes! YLF!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785451 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:35:35 +0000 rachylou 785451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All combos would make great outfits, but because you said we're talking military - I'd go with the lace jacket and red shoes. I find the black shoes too bohemian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785450 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:34:57 +0000 Sona 785450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for black shoes, black jacket!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/change-of-command-or-change-your-plans#post-785445 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:26:57 +0000 rae 785445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please excuse my lack of makeup and pedicure action... </p> <p>Here are my ideas for my upcoming attendance of a military Change of Command ceremony (held on my birthday). As suggested by the forum, I chose a conservative dress with a high neck and low hem. Tried it with my dressier blazers: a tuxedo jacket and this lace &amp; sequined jacket (waving at MaryK!). </p> <p>Do either of these work? I can layer my dressy Karen Millen coat over either of these options. </p> <p>If I go with the black jacket, I'm thinking it might need... I dunno, a sequined belt or something? A little touch of celebratory spirit. I am also leaning toward the black shoes to bookend my hair. </p>
