Perhaps she was Italian of a certain age and just did not give a flip for the dictates of the young. Hope she was not locked in a closet for her errant ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326238 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 14:57:46 +0000 LJP 2326238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re the Spanx : I wear them under dresses because I cannot bear the feeling of my thighs touching one another. &nbsp;Spanx also makes for a cleaner line , if you will. &nbsp;I was a little concerned about the pants because they are SO lightweight and I hadn't had a chance to see how they'd perform if stuck to my leg in a breeze - if that makes sense). &nbsp;But yes, bad decision , lol.</p> <p>The dress code was adhered to, that much I can say. There was one woman maybe a little older than me wearing a STUNNING black and white dress - which made me laugh. &nbsp;Funny, I never saw her again after that one sighting. &nbsp;The bride's family is Italian, and the food was ridiculous . &nbsp;All made by the bride's mother, apparently. &nbsp;I've never seen such a crazy amount of food for "appetizers and drinks" - it was a full-on dinner. I did not indulge &nbsp;</p> <p>Jaime - my ideal shoe? Right now I'm obsessed with the mesh sock shoe from The Row. &nbsp;It's just so cool, and weird at the same time. &nbsp;Also, I don't know what I was talking about when I mentioned Everlane pricing . I went back to their site and it's not at all as high as I thought. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326224 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 12:57:29 +0000 RobinF 2326224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will echo everyone else - looks great! I'm sorry it didn't feel great though. I quite like the shoes with it, they sort of echo the pattern in the jacket, but it would be good with simpler shoes too. Love the two piece pants/top thing and hope you wear them again. Without the Spanx :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326223 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 12:55:37 +0000 unfrumped 2326223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The whole ensemble looks great!</p> <p>I think , wear again on less complicated occasions!</p> <p>Also about shoes— I never noticed any problems with this outfit, but I hear what you are thinking about number of details. If you have occasions to wear the 2- piece outfit without topper, the shoes would add that touch of extra texture and detail. Or, maybe the cream jacket, since solid color. </p> <p>Anyway, point, I think all the items are great mix-and- match pieces as well as a good outfit together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326212 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 11:40:13 +0000 lyn67 2326212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF Lisa, I think it wasn't the outfit, but all the other silly things. And, really&nbsp; wasn't&nbsp; there anybody in whites, neither in blacks??? Was it because of some high end&nbsp; picties taken with all the crowd and&nbsp; for not messing up with the stark neutrals in them? Whites I can somehow rather understand for not stealing the spot from the bride to be (if she was wearing&nbsp; whites) but BLACKS??? Unless on a boat&nbsp; I think I would have still worn my&nbsp; &nbsp;blacks (If really wanted so) and just named it ...say a charcoal, if asked!:-) OMG!!!:-))&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326211 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 11:39:15 +0000 Brooklyn 2326211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good! I don’t see “too over done”. I think when you take risks with fashion it’s easy to feel that way. I know I’ve felt that way a zillion times. I bet you stood out, in a good way, in a sea of “safe” slip dresses and heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326185 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 03:42:24 +0000 Debbie 2326185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa you look amazing. I love everything about this. Your hair is perfection. The two price outfit and the jacket are meant to be wore together. I think that it was just the event itself. Sometimes when we stress over an event we become hyper focused on every little thing and don’t take in account the whole picture.</p> <p>This is one of my favorite outfits on you of all times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326182 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 03:14:50 +0000 Sal 2326182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this ensemble and I don’t think it is too much in any sense. You look great too - fit, healthy, polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326175 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 00:56:46 +0000 Jaime 2326175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the hair and the outfit looks great and agree that your feeling about how you looked is probably influenced with your discomfort with the event more than how you looked. I am curious to know what your dream shoes are .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326173 Mon, 12 Jun 2023 00:34:38 +0000 Carla 2326173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks authentic&nbsp;<i>you, </i>to me,&nbsp;and not a copy cat of <i>anyone.</i>&nbsp; It’s unique, without standing out as ‘kooky’ or out of place.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I love&nbsp;Mary Beth’s description and suggest you consider &nbsp;‘Lost Boy’ as a monicker. &nbsp;I’ve always felt that some degree of gamine/athleticism aka tomboy &nbsp;is in your bones, and thus a part of an authentic way to dress. &nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I hope the food was good, and you found someone interesting to talk to…</p> <p>PS: &nbsp;pitch the Spanx :-(</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326163 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 22:53:51 +0000 Style Fan 2326163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous!&nbsp; The colour of the outfit is lovely against your skin.&nbsp; I love the bomber with the two-piece set.&nbsp; As usual, your hair and make-up are fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326146 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:41:07 +0000 Dee 2326146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s always rather tricky to figure out what exactly to wear to these type of events, but I too, think your outfit looks chic and modern. Sounds like &nbsp;an interesting experience none the less. Always fun to see how the other half lives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326140 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:03:04 +0000 Ms. Liz 2326140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit look really fabulous on you. &nbsp;The colours are perfect for you. &nbsp;You look both elegant and modern. &nbsp;Great hair and makeup too! &nbsp;I totally understand the discomfort of pulling an outfit together, fussing over it and then not feeling comfortable in it. &nbsp;I am not sure why it happens but it usually happens (to me) when I am wearing something that I don't really love but am wearing an outfit to "fit in". &nbsp;When I pull something from my closet that I really want to wear and don't think about whether it works for the occasion/I wonder what others are wearing/will I be overdressed ...that's when I feel my best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326134 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 16:32:29 +0000 Echo 2326134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to reiterate what others have said: You look fab. Truly! I think the oufit is amazing, you accessorize beautifully, I love the hair and your skin looks gorgeous! I am hoping this is an instance of not loving the event, thus not loving what you wore, because you should definitely try this outfit again to a different event! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326131 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 16:17:27 +0000 LJP 2326131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol - a better way to describe my shoes is “not clean -lined “ . I think I would have preferred a simpler shoe as this one has everything , lol. Pleated leather , cross ankle straps , cut outs , etc . The shoes I covet right now are not being reproduced at a mid-price point . It’s all super high end and I guess too weird to risk producing for the mass market , haha. Even the Everlane Day flat knocked off at a lower Cdn price would be great but again it’s too niche of a look I guess . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326120 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 15:40:23 +0000 Bijou 2326120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary Beth has said it perfectly! </p> <p>Whilst it was understandably not a fun party to attend, you killed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326119 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 15:40:13 +0000 LJP 2326119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all - I know my story of woe is a bit much ;). It was a jaw-dropping party. Probably 75 people there in one of the most fabulous houses and river properties I’ve ever been in . A whole ‘nother level of wealth there . I’m sure glad I was in flats as we were standing all of the evening on a flat stoned landscaped patio on the river bank . It was really interesting to see what the young women wore : midi length satiny slip dresses in all colours with square toed strappy high heeled sandals . Women my age were in a mix of dresses , mostly . I’m glad I brought a jacket as it was cool and breezy later in the evening - but …..no bugs !! Which is a miracle considering the house is right on the river . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326116 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 15:31:20 +0000 Bonnie 2326116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hair that way and I think your outfit is perfect for an engagement party. It has the right amount of dressiness and creativeness. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326105 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 14:44:54 +0000 Mirjana 2326105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing LJP, everything is so perfect on you. Sometimes we feet that some outfit does not look good for on us, but it is probably a matter of our mood at that moment. And that's how I feel very often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326102 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 14:24:27 +0000 Angie 2326102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER GORGEOUS. One of my faves, <b>LJP</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the dainty shoes and the palette with your complexion! The length of the pants works very well. Hair pushed back looked pretty too! :)</p> <p>Sorry you didn't feel as amazing as you looked. Sometimes we can't help how we feel, and that's that. But know that from this style savvy YLF community, everyone is in agreement that you ROCKED this look and then some!</p> <p>You are ready for #NYFW.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326096 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 13:39:13 +0000 CarolS 2326096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m sorry you weren’t able to enjoy how fabulous you looked in this outfit, Lisa. </p> <p>I’m trying to understand what you mean by “designy”. I think you explained it earlier so I’ll go take a look. </p> <p>I’m wondering if, in Amy Smilovic terms, it felt more “lady” than you wanted to feel for that occasion? </p> <p>What a great compliment from DH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/engagement-party-ensemble-61023#post-2326092 Sun, 11 Jun 2023 13:33:09 +0000 Janet 2326092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From your description, I wasn’t expecting to be wowed with the pics, but I love your look in the photos! However I know that photos only tell part of the story and you need to feel good! I think the shoes look great and elevated the outfit to an occasion, but maybe dressing it down for everyday with sneakers may indeed feel more your vibe. Either way, I wonder if your feelings about the event itself may have contributed to your emotional state about the outfit — I have definitely been in that position before! You do look fantastic, I’m sure your husband is totally correct in his observation! </p>
