It was very comfortable and allowed for lots of full belly. I'm going to wear to all our holiday festivities this year. We were at my brother's and I could have changed into sweats later but I didn't; the dress was just as warm and comfortable to lay about in, food coma style,&nbsp;digesting.</p> <p>To travel down and back I wore boyfriend jeans because they are so roomy and comfy. With booties, sweater, pleather jacket, big scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits/page/2#post-1105130 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:07:46 +0000 gryffin 1105130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy - I am so terrified of exposed toes (because I usually break them when not protected)&nbsp; so i am thankful all you did was chip the polish.&nbsp; But that is so annoying esp new pedicure.&nbsp; I am sure no one noticed but that probably did not make you feel one whit better just hope it was not too painful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1105043 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:22:53 +0000 minimalist 1105043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great stain removal tips!</p> <p>Guess I did have a technical glitch: I wore sandals, and shortly after arriving stubbed the big toe of my right foot just enough to very visibly chip dark red polish of new pedicure. </p> <p>I doubt that anyone noticed, but I hate walking around that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1104712 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:21:00 +0000 gryffin 1104712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet &amp; JAileen, it was Clearly Claire - she got bike grease on her white Celine jacket and it came out with flour!!&nbsp; <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nearly-ruined-musings-whitecream" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....whitecream</a><br />Now her jacket was white so I don't know what that would do to the color but I thought you might want to read the post.&nbsp; I never heard of doing this.&nbsp; So good to know!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1104711 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 22:16:37 +0000 gryffin 1104711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet - so sorry to hear the stain did not come out.&nbsp; JAileen that is an interesting thought.&nbsp; Who was it who just mentioned flour?&nbsp; It was on another thread and they got the stain out almost perfectly.&nbsp; I'll check it out and link back if I find it.&nbsp; There is always a bright side, as you point out, Scarlet.&nbsp; Now you are in the no fear zone of shoe enjoyment.&nbsp; Question?&nbsp; Can you and would you want to duplicate?&nbsp; Also did you spray your shoes first?&nbsp; I have done that but it's never worked well for me but I know people who swear by it.&nbsp; Good luck and hope the flour works!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1104556 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:30:13 +0000 JAileen 1104556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've heard flour can get grease out.

I couldn't completely get the marks out but it's not so bad that I can't live with it. Maybe if I had treated it right away I could have done better, but we were on a clock I still love the shoes, and I guess now I can't ruin them, so I can wear them with abandon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102694 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 13:33:52 +0000 gryffin 1102694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet - so sorry to hear about the shoes!!&nbsp; Were you able to get the grease out?&nbsp; I have ruined many a fine garment cooking.&nbsp; So I stick with washable and wipeable (if that's a word!!)&nbsp; Good luck with your clean up.&nbsp; Hope it comes out!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102634 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 05:22:33 +0000 Scarlet 1102634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got butter on my new nubuck shoes Shame on me for wearing them while cooking, but I was trying to multitask and break them in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102571 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:01:25 +0000 gryffin 1102571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander - sleeves. Dangerous things. So annoying esp when it's new (ps that's basically a trademark maneuver for me ). Hope it comes out without a problem. I am thinking donation for those pesky socks. Nothing more irritating than sock drift. You were a trooper and I hope you had a great holiday despite the irritants!<br /> Dustt - you are way too hard on yourself. It's so much easier to glam it up when you are not the chief cook and bottle washer !! Sweat, grease, gravy just don 't go with silk!! I think you made a great outfit choice. Just wait till your daughter and nieces host - they will be hanging up their 4" platforms and stocking up on all things washable and flame retardant!! PS drooling vacuum cleaning fur baby sounds divine!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102482 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:24:58 +0000 dustt 1102482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>griffin - you made me laugh on the doggy great beyond - mine too is our own drooling, breathing vacuum cleaner!! - It wasn't really "dressed-up" - but more of a smart casual day - my grown nieces, who have great fashion sense always do me the honor of wearing something a bit upscale, which coerces my daughters(also grown and pretty fashionable themselves) to step up their game!! - I was definitely the only one in a knit tee - although a nice knit tee!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102476 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:05:39 +0000 Mander 1102476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I managed to drag the hem of my new black and white wool cardigan into something orange.&nbsp; No idea what it is (probably sweet potato casserole) but there are still a couple of small orange marks on it.&nbsp; I don't really want to wash the whole thing so tomorrow I am going to try dabbing the spot with dish soap.</p> <p>Also, my socks kept scrunching down in my shoes until my knee-high socks were all bunched up under my foot!&nbsp; Most annoying but I had my hands full carrying food to the potluck so I had to just put up with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102218 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:40:46 +0000 gryffin 1102218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dustt - I am totally surprised you felt underdressed.&nbsp; Your outfit sounds lovely and the silk scarf, the teal of the shirt&nbsp;and wedges wound like dressy elements.&nbsp; Does your group dress up?&nbsp; Gosh, I can't get my friends to do that.&nbsp; I once made a black tie dinner and my friends came in jeans!!&nbsp; Glad to hear the scarf is doing well!!&nbsp; and don't you loves the doggy clean up committee!!&nbsp; My pups think its a gift from the great doggy beyond when spills occur.&nbsp; They are only too happy to do the clean up/taste test thing!!

- I think I got all of the gravy out of the silk scarf!! - luckily it has random ombre mixed stripes so I'm thinking that even if I didn't completely remove it - the stripe pattern should camouflage any permanent damage!! - I felt a bit underdressed - but what's a girl to do in the face of all those dishes and too many people in the kitchen!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102129 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:44:13 +0000 gryffin 1102129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dustt- You were so brave to put on a scarf as a hostess!!&nbsp; I shudder to think of what I would have gotten over one.&nbsp; Kudos to a single gravy stain, I would have been covered.&nbsp; I was in the same boat hostess -wise and it's that trade off what is washable, practical, cool but looks nice.&nbsp; You are clearly much braver&nbsp; (teal suede wedges -danger!!&nbsp; Danger!!&nbsp; What a girl to have gotten through unscathed!!&nbsp; I would have had all manner of "stuff" on mine!!)&nbsp; I applaud and bow down to your sartorial standards of excellence in the face of gravy etc.&nbsp; I hope the stain comes out but I am sure you looked awesome!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1102096 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:48:16 +0000 dustt 1102096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>knowing I was the chief&nbsp; cleaner - chef- and hostess I picked my outfit for the day more as gear than fashion....&nbsp; skinny jeans (so I wouldn't eat too much) - teal boatneck 3/4 sleeve t (for cooking and dishes) - wide belt (to hold up the jeans as I ran around like a crazy woman) - flat comfy black&nbsp;mocs (until 2 minutes before all the family started to arrive) - at the last moment added...... teal suede wedges and a multi-colored Indian silk scarf (which now needs a gravy stain removed).&nbsp; The wedges were comfy enough to wear during hors d'oeuvres and dinner - but I switched back to the mocs for clean-up and board games after dinner!!

And my shoes were a bit pinchy because I wore socks because I was afraid of cold feet - and also, because they're platforms, they don't bend when you walk. </p> <p>But you know, it was a sit down affair, so most of the time I didn't notice these things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-anyone-else-have-technical-issues-with-their-t-day-outfits#post-1101511 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 15:57:23 +0000 Angie 1101511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, your outfit sounds wonderful despite the technical challenge.

And leopard print and black suede wedges. My technical difficulty was the same as Sara's, getting too warm. So later in the day I changed into a lightweight cotton tunic. It was just my immediate family with us so I didn't mind forgoing style for comfort!</p> <p>Gryffin. Those EF pieces are gorgeous! </p>
