And snake! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377412 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:17:24 +0000 Carole 1377412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, thank you so much. And you are so right to consider the weather...it has been so unseasonable warm around here but alas the rain is returning Saturday, but won't be a steady downpour, so I will have to wait and see. If it's raining I would likely wear a raincoat so then the cardi would work better, or maybe I won't even need it. But if it's fairly warm and dry, the blazer would be better..I'm glad to know that either would work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377406 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:12:01 +0000 Suz 1377406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, you look absolutely killer sensational with this. I think we're all agreed that the snake clutch is best. I am divided on the cardi-blazer question and like both with a slight preference for the blazer -- but I would also consider the actual temperatures and how it will feel to carry one or the other around.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377378 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 01:40:45 +0000 Carole 1377378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to chime back in and say THANK YOU so much for your help...</p> <p>Unfrumped, you make a really good point about the blazer vs cardi. I don't want to look like I just threw the cardi on as an after thought and maybe the casualness of it gives that vibe.</p> <p>Claire, thanks for your lovely compliment:) that makes me feel so good as this dress is a little tighter this year than last:( but you are right, it's a really versatile piece and I think I could dress it down with boots and a moto jacket of sorts, too.</p> <p>Angie, thanks for your expert opinion and kind words, mwah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377346 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 00:06:29 +0000 unfrumped 1377346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit. The snakeskin clutch is fab.<br />I think the blazer is great, too. I'm on the fence on the cardi because I do think it can go either more delicate and dress-like than blazer, or just be not as sharp--so sometimes that comes across better IRL and in motion and not photo. What I'm saying is, if you only had the cardi and needed a wrap, I think it'd be fine, but the blazer looks a little&nbsp; more intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377287 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 22:13:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 1377287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!! Agreeing with the others - snakeskin &amp; blazer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377254 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:24:02 +0000 Carole 1377254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone....I guess either topper will work the votes are split, but our queen Angie votes blazer, so I'm leaning that way. I will probably take the jacket off for dinner and dancing, woohoo!</p> <p>As for lighter stockings, I have nude micro fishnets, is that the way to go? The shoe stocking thing always stumps me...just don't get dressed up that often:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377248 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:15:07 +0000 kerry 1377248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Claire said.

Your shoes look fine, and I love the snakeskin clutch and jewelry. What a terrific dress! It could take you literally anywhere. It really highlights that great figure of yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377235 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:01:28 +0000 Angie 1377235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the snakeskin and blazer.&nbsp;You look killer gorgeous, Carole.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377218 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:46:13 +0000 Windchime 1377218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks amazing on you! I, too, was wondering about perhaps going lighter with your stockings. Other than that, love both topper options and your very chic snakeskin clutch. You look ready for a celebration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377207 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:36:33 +0000 rabbit 1377207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>snakeskin clutch, and either topper, or even a lighter colored topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377181 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 19:53:40 +0000 Astrid 1377181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit!

The dress is great.

The shoes look good and are safe, but if you really want to wear booties (which I think would look more unexpected), you could. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377155 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:55:33 +0000 Sal 1377155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A third vote for snakeskin and blazer!

I love the snakeskin clutch with it, and I think I prefer the blazer over the cardigan. The necklace and clutch are especially fab accompaniments to the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-a-wedding-help#post-1377126 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:31:51 +0000 Carole 1377126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers! </p> <p>I'm planning what to wear Saturday to an afternoon wedding. The ceremony is at our local Catholic Church then a reception at a golf club. </p> <p>This dress is a few years old from BR and I've added a gray stone statement necklace to jazz it up with a gold bangle and a new silver bracelet with little gold accents and crystals on the ends. I bought the gray clutch for this event (but thought it would be great for everyday with the colors in my wardrobe) but then remembered I had this snakeskin clutch with black, cream, gray and pinkish tones and now I'm thinking this looks better. I know the pumps aren't exciting but with my bad feet I have few options. I do have a pair of Sam Edelman black suede booties but feel that might be too casual.</p> <p>Also, I have a 3/4 sleeve cardi to throw on if it's cool, or this blazer...what do you think? </p> <p>Appreciate any and all suggestions for improvement.</p> <p>BR Berry wrap dress</p> <p>BR Gray stone statement necklace</p> <p>BR bracelet and old gold bangle</p> <p>Snakeskin clutch, Nordstroms</p> <p>BR gray clutch</p> <p>Micro fishnets</p> <p>Clark pumps</p> <p>Optional toppers: Tahari blazer or black cardi</p> <p>Thank you so much </p>
