I live in your neck of the woods (just south of Boston) and it is cold here right now! How about a satin ribbon sash for your waist? Although it looks fine without. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420645 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 02:54:18 +0000 shiny 1420645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks awesome as you have it styled, but I'd be curious to see what it looks like with your casual Blondo's and even the OTK boots. I'm not sure why the idea of such combos is tickling me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420643 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 02:52:22 +0000 Gigi 1420643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is too dressy at all. I have worked in business casual environments in the past, and some of the women who were on the dressier end of business casual would have worn an outfit like this on a regular workday. I think that the red in it makes it more festive. I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420637 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 02:45:58 +0000 Jaime 1420637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that sweater on you every time.

So I think the look is dressy but can blend in with more casual looks or straight-from the office looks. The colors speak to the "festive" very well. You might be more dressed up than some people, since the skirt does look intentional, but you have an "approachable" vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420572 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:48:01 +0000 Diana 1420572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, bc the party is right by my husband's work, I am actually going to wear tall boots (and probably pants too) to his office and change into my party wear there. In any case, I think my blondos are too casual, and my new gold zip boots are OTK, which I think would also be OTT with the skirt. ;)</p> <p>Ooh, Rachy, how fun would a red cummerbund be here?!?! I don't have time to go find one though... My husband has black ones but they're too big for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420556 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:22:59 +0000 shiny 1420556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote YAY!&nbsp;</p> <p>But considering it is going to be cold, can you wear with black tall boots?&nbsp;</p> <p>I always do this thing in my head in which I respond based on what I have in my own closet, and if I had your sweater and skirt here, for this sort of occasion (cold + business casual), I'd wear my tall black almond toed flat boots with opaque tights. That would make it a touch more casual while also being warmer!</p> <p>LOVE that skirt. Oh my.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420548 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:16:19 +0000 rachylou 1420548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like the outfit needs a cumberbund... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420545 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:10:37 +0000 columbine(erin) 1420545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely and could work. For some reason I really want to see something silver with this but that's just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-work-for-a-festive-business-casual-party#post-1420538 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:39:53 +0000 Diana 1420538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an event to go to on Friday where the dress code is apparently "festive business casual," although what that actually means is a bit unclear.&nbsp; It's my husband's work "holiday" party, which in the past couple of years was cocktail, but it is more casual this year.&nbsp; It's actually going to be right by his workplace so I'm expecting the people who work there will probably show up in nice work (law firm) clothes.&nbsp; Anyway, I want to wear my bubble skirt, just because.&nbsp; Do you think this ensemble (which I last wore to a holiday concert and party) would work?&nbsp; I realize it's nowhere near the realm of business casual, LOL, but at least it's separates and not a cocktail dress?&nbsp; </p> <p>I would probably swap the sheer hose for black opaques and the kitten heels for pointy booties.&nbsp; (Because it is going to be freezing, and even indoors I don't think it will be very warm.&nbsp; Plus the sheer hose seems too dressy.)</p> <p> </p>
