To me it reads a little less formal due to the dress material, so I pick #1 for this occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917313 Tue, 08 May 2018 03:50:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 1917313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits as well Michelle, 1 and 4, and feel you could certainly wear the dress outfit if it is hot, if you will be uncomfortable in the pants outfit. I like your grey clutch. Good job with the sales assistant on the lipstick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917299 Tue, 08 May 2018 02:40:04 +0000 Anonymous 1917299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket and dress together and agree that weather can be the final factor in your decision. The neckline on the dress is especially flattering, focuses attention on your face and works well with the jacket. I overheat very easily and if I thought that might happen it would be super distracting.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917287 Tue, 08 May 2018 02:00:16 +0000 Suz 1917287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I'm late here, but you look amazing in both the dress and the blouse outfit. I really love both but prefer #1 for your occasion because you look especially comfortable there. I think the dress and jacket do work together and look terrific on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917286 Tue, 08 May 2018 01:56:14 +0000 Kathie 1917286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s hard to judge the exact shade of blue in the photos, but it seems just bright enough to compete with the jacket. I think you might add a scarf with both colors to pull the outfit together, and look more intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917278 Tue, 08 May 2018 01:15:31 +0000 Michelle 1917278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!! <br />I hae a question: is the jacket +b ble dress combo not good at all, or just not as good as the pants? Is there anything I could do to make it equally effective in case of stiflingly hot weather or is that just not happening? <br />Oh and for those who suggested it, I took your advice and now have in my possession a a fuchsia lipstick. I made the sales associate match it more or less to the pics I had on hand of the jacket. Thanks again guys!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917189 Mon, 07 May 2018 20:23:11 +0000 Anonymous 1917189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 1 for the debate, I still think pants are best for this in so many ways and adding the print with the black and fuschia is just right. Interesting color jacket, print blouse, black pants..it's perfect.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917185 Mon, 07 May 2018 20:12:16 +0000 April 1917185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Michelle!<br />Chiming in to add another vote for #1.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1917054 Mon, 07 May 2018 14:11:54 +0000 Kari 1917054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is debate perfect. That jacket is fabulous on you and I’m thrilled to see that you got it. The pants do drape marvelously and look professional and very flattering.

Sounds like number 1 is the clear winner. INterestingly three people *not* on this board voted for the dress + navy pumps combo. But even wihththose votes your pick still wins. So just so I'm clear and not getting the pictures mixed up: fushchsia jacket, coordinating blouse, black lafayette trousers, simple black patent pointy-toe pumps? And Angie, are you saying use the rose gold bag or stick with the grey/even searach for another pewter satchel (my read, not yours)? I also found a beautiful pearl and silver necklace that Ornella remember her)? gave me years ago. I need to get a couple of stones replaced, but I'll do that before the debate and wear it. It'll be perfect. <br />Do I have this ensemble right? <br />Speaking of remembering people, hello to Mac!! So nice to see you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916725 Sun, 06 May 2018 05:35:30 +0000 Mac 1916725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look smashing, dear Michelle!

Thank you all. At least it sounds like, on consensus, I have two viable options that I can maybe decide on based on weather conditions? The dress option is definitely a little cooler. <br />If I go with the majority choice of outfit no. 1, what bag would you carry? <br />Oh and Denise, to answer your question I apply lipstick by following the contours of my lips. I'm sure it sounds weird and I'm told it looks bizarre to observe, but the end result is apparently right every time. Blind-guy strategies are a little whack sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916660 Sat, 05 May 2018 23:26:59 +0000 Michelle 1916660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting range of opinions, guys!

It's professional and polished, and the jacket pops beautifully against the black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916646 Sat, 05 May 2018 22:27:28 +0000 Diana 1916646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is perfect for the debate. It looks very polished and professional and the colors are great on you. </p> <p>I like the dress (with the navy shoes) too but it looks more festive and less professional to me. I think I’d also prefer the dress with a slightly shorter jacket. It would be perfect for a sophisticated evening out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916645 Sat, 05 May 2018 22:25:03 +0000 Lynn 1916645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific choices Michelle. I like both outfits a lot, they are very flattering and very professional looking. As far as styling I also prefer #1 and #4 For number 4 maybe try a black or gold necklace. Something with a bit more presence. &nbsp;The pearls seem a little lost with the brighter colors to my eye. I like the pearls with # 1 though. Just my 2 cents :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916636 Sat, 05 May 2018 21:47:39 +0000 Cardiff girl 1916636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think outfit #1 would get my vote,you look smart ,professional but feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916635 Sat, 05 May 2018 21:47:39 +0000 Anonymous 1916635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m on team #1and #4. While all looks are good, I think 1&amp;4 are 10s for you.<br /> Well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916630 Sat, 05 May 2018 21:39:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 1916630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Michelle, for the pants option I prefer the black shoes, length is better and the black pants/shoes are really leg-lengthening.<br /> For the dress option I adore the navy shoes with gold detail. So cute! So a search for navy sheer hose sounds in order.<br /> If I had to choose one, I'd choose the black pants/black shoes for the event but I really like the dress option also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916628 Sat, 05 May 2018 21:37:20 +0000 Astrid 1916628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first look best! You can wear that one as it is, you look great. I think the black patent pumps look more elegant with the trousers than those with the bows in the second picture. The jacket works well with both the trousers and the blouse beneath it and the pearls and clutch are nice details. I'm not a fan of the jacket with the dress, but I'm not quite sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916627 Sat, 05 May 2018 21:32:06 +0000 CocoLion 1916627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 is perfect. &nbsp;I much prefer the shoes in that outfit to the shoes in #2. &nbsp;The pants drape perfectly with the shoes in #1.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the dress option, I prefer #4 with the navy pumps. &nbsp;The accent piece on the shoes coordinates nicely with the satchel bag.</p> <p>So IMHO you are good to go with pictures 1 and 4. &nbsp;As for lipstick, if you had a sheer gloss in bright pink you could just put it on yourself as I put glosses on regularly without a mirror for a touch of color. &nbsp;(I was wondering how you apply lipstick, hope that isn't an impertinent question Michelle!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debate-outfit-combinations-over-to-you-ladies#post-1916612 Sat, 05 May 2018 19:12:31 +0000 Michelle 1916612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><br /> Ok, guys, it's that time!<br />Thank you all for your valuable assistance the other day. It allowed me to confine my purchase to three items (fuchsia jacket, coordinating sleeveless blouse and steel blue sleevveless ddress), and shop my closet for the rest. I have put together a few combos that you're welcome to weigh in on, take apart and remix, anything you please. <br />I styled the jacket + blouse combo with a pair of black Lafayette trousers that I never get to wear but that are dreamy in terms of drape. I have tried this with a pair of no-nonsense Clarks pointy-toed black patent pumps or adorable pointy-toed black suede wedges with silver bows. They're higher in the heel, but I suspect PPL is still in play (if not, I'm sure Angie will speak up). The dark grey envelope day clutch I have in these shots has snake side panels, in case you can't tell. <br />With the dress, I've tried it out with lower-heeled pewter pumps with an almond toe or round-toed navy wedges with a little gold-tone detail. Ignore the shimmery silver bag as I've decided it's too evening like. The other option I have here is my rose gold Coach satchel. I am not averse to finding a pewter satchel. :p If you guys suggest the navy shoes, I would invest in some navy sheer hose. <br />I could, of course, put any of these elements together in other combos. Or wear the dress with black microfishnets and black shoes. Or go back to the drawing board entirely if you think it all sucks. From here on out, I am in your hands. <br />Thank you all for your help! And bonus thanks to those that suggested using a lipstick in the same tone as the jacket on the night itself. I'm totally doing that.<br />I'm grateful to all of you who are helping me take on this nerve-racking work moment with as much confidence as possible!</p>
