I would guess like SF, in Seattle even the stuffy people at the opera are used to seeing interesting outfits. In fact, that is part of the fun of going to the opera.</p> <p>I would wear sheer black hose under them for warmth and a dressier look. Also, if your footwear is more refined rather than tough or chunky, it will be opera-OK.</p> <p>I could see these with a tunic mini dress over them, or like they are shown on the model with a tucked in shirt and maybe a blazer.</p> <p>ETA should have read the thread first! Sorry they didn't work. They are beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-564021 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 06:21:53 +0000 Jenava 564021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, bummer!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-563982 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:46:31 +0000 annagybe 563982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I tried them on today. Last pair in my size in the store. Unfortunately they hit right at the knee. If it was above the knee or below it, they would have worked. As is they're awkward. Even the salesperson agreed. Due to the scalloped lace hem they can't be altered. Hopefully they work better on Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-563361 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:40:35 +0000 Scarlet 563361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! I think these could be dressed up enough for the opera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-563267 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:06:02 +0000 MsMary 563267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THESE!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-563263 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:01:20 +0000 Anonymous 563263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Course you could! They are dramatic, fun, baroque, perfect for the opera! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562875 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 04:31:33 +0000 Beth Ann 562875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If only everyone in the audience had as much satorial cool as you do! I like the idea of this with a blazer, as long as the fit it good. So much more interesting than an LBD! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562839 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:37:21 +0000 sarah 562839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, am chuckling at you *running into* Angie. Wouldn't that be fun : ).</p> <p>VERY cool shorts, Anna - I think you could pull off wearing them to the opera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562837 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:34:06 +0000 Suz 562837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you should try them on! </p> <p>They are really amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562836 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:31:39 +0000 Angie 562836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's warm enough! Obviously, I think they are beautiful. </p> <p>(I showed them to Anna because they are on their way to me in my size :))</p> <p>Anne, maybe one day we will run into each other too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562823 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:07:50 +0000 anne 562823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love the fact that you "ran into" Angie. I have never been to the Opera, so no help there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562808 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:44:07 +0000 modgrl 562808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woww! Very cool shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562796 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:29:58 +0000 Jenava 562796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, why couldn't you wear them daily?</p> <p>I think you could dress them up for the opera with the right top and accessories. I like the idea of a white silk voluminous top, maybe tuxedo front, and something high and night-out dressy for shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562795 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:27:43 +0000 annagybe 562795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking of pairing them with my long tail Rag &amp; Bone jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562790 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:20:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 562790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about the opera but they sure are gorgeous! How would you style them Anna? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-i-get-away-with-these-for-the-opera#post-562783 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:08:34 +0000 annagybe 562783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ran into Angie today in the Flagship Nordstorm today. She showed me these shorts she was contemplating. I'm going to be in Bellevue tomorrow, and they have my size. Should I try them on.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/robert-rodriguez-slim-leg-lace-bermuda-shorts/3255712?origin=category&#038;resultback=2312" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ro.....tback=2312</a> </p>
