Warmer temps predicted, yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1856323 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 23:12:44 +0000 unfrumped 1856323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, fun. I see your idea about contrasting shapes and dimensions.<br /> I had thought of velvet, too- a contrast with the lace, and rich fall- looking.<br /> “ Outdoor dressy” can be hard! Which is why I think a lot of people just goes as they can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1856318 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 22:53:58 +0000 3style 1856318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 purse ideas<br /> (1) Something boho-lite. I have an excellent quality casual boho-lite bag from Lucky Brand. They tend to be more on the structured side of boho-lite rather than the frilly side like Anthropologie. You might try there. But that's only If you can see it working with other things that you own.<br /> (2) Maybe try a velvet purse. You could get something inexpensive that would work well as a travel pouch inside your luggage in future.<br /> (3) It's mostly the flatness of the shape of the metallic one that bothers me against the flatness (no pleats or tiers) of the dress. I think any classic bag which is smaller but has a little more depth front to back (like a brick or baguette shape) would be less noticeably modern.<br /> (4) I have a (handed down from a friend of my mom) lovely little emerald green suede purse from Coach, which just has one little tassel. I'd call it boho-ultra-lite. I wear it frequently for holiday events. You could maybe find something a little bit unusual from a classic brand like that or Cole Haan. Maybe think about what would be versatile enough that you'd enjoy it with a variety of outfits. My green bag looks as good with white jeans until the summer as it does with a black dress in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1856296 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 21:05:27 +0000 unfrumped 1856296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3style, thanks, the sweater I had in mind would have to be a top on its own.<br /> I’m interested in what type of bag you might use if you could have whatever. Of course I’m dealing with outfit creation— I can get potentially get new items, but would only get things I could see fitting into my style and wardrobe— either dressy items with longevity/ versatility— for example, the PERFECT velvet jacket ( and hence wanting the right boots for my feet and for other occasions and not quick- fix boots) or crissover items I can see wearing.<br /> Were you thinking some kind of dressy- boho bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855957 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 17:32:12 +0000 3style 1855957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped,<br /> Any chance you could wear the RL sweater over the dress pictured here? </p> <p>Also, I'm in the minority here, but I don't love the clutch in this context. I feel like it is too modern for a farm theme wedding. </p> <p>I think either short or long boots look equally nice with the dress. </p> <p>At first glance I thought the dress did read as Holiday Season. But I think that the earthy wrap on top totally offsets that effect. </p> <p>If it were me, I would probably do the dress with the RL sweater over it and then the wrap on top of that! But I run cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855945 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 14:34:20 +0000 Anonymous 1855945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone should make puffy coats suitable for outdoor weddings..a niche that needs filling. The dress looks perfect. I second finding some long sleeved warm underwear to wear under it. Biker shorts or knee length Cuddle Duds might give some extra leg warmth under the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855944 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 14:33:40 +0000 unfrumped 1855944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for comments! I starting to channel rachylou and wonder, if I wear dress I may need a coat- a light wrap may not be enough . We had a day in 60’s this week- walking out to my car in a skirt with tights and a sweater , I froze! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855938 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 13:18:34 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1855938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress, especially with your jewelry and wrap. *I wouldn't do silver bangles, but I tend to underaccesorize, I think. I agree with Angie, if you can get flat boots, go with those, but what you have is lovely and appropriate, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855217 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 22:46:20 +0000 VioletMyra 1855217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't going to put in my 2c worth BUT I keep coming back and looking at the photos you've provided. So, for what it's worth, long boots would be nice but I'm a short boots person myself and hence really like your dress with the short boots. Whatever footwear you choose, I hope you have a really fabulous time.<br />Best wishes<br />Denise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855215 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 22:41:43 +0000 The Cat 1855215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely and looks much better on you than on the model. The shawl and silver accessories look fine, too. I support the suggestions about wearing a black layering tee (preferably of thin wool), wearing flat tall boots and/or doubling your tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1855002 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 04:10:19 +0000 jennifer 1855002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen as I was glancing down and saw the furry boot picture- my first thought was someone had taken a accidental picture of a Maltese or Shitzu forelegs on down.<br /> I agree the fur boots would be very glam and fun for a ski hill wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854980 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 01:44:06 +0000 Jaime 1854980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No suggestions but the dress is great and boots make a lot of sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854962 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 00:31:00 +0000 JAileen 1854962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've heard of weddings at the top of a local ski hill. In the snow. So for an event like that, I would dress as if I were going to the North Pole*. </p> <p>I can't imagine there wouldn't be somewhere to get out of the cold and/or wind at your event. On the other hand, at the barn wedding we went to last summer, our seats for the ceremony and the reception were in the sun, on one of the hottest days of the year. :(</p> <p>*For the ski hill wedding I would want these furry Tecnica snow boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854956 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 00:12:01 +0000 unfrumped 1854956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also this event so far is an example of not getting enough intel on the actual way if will work- is there a short ceremony outside and then move indoors, or heaters, tents- - all of these things are potentially available at this venue but I don’t know— or is tge whole thing outside as long as no rain. I MAY be able to find out more.<br /> There is a lot written on the outdoor wedding trend and how little guidance guests get. . I also know it’s up to me to bring even a coat if I think I might need it.<br /> It would be fun to think, what would I or YOU wear if could concoct anything we wanted? ( that is warm). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854869 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 12:35:45 +0000 unfrumped 1854869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou, I hear that! I have a few other footwear options that are more “ pump” - like but no warmer. I’m fretting over the footwear when it could be I need s whole other option if the weather is that cool or cooler. I might envision my dressy long trousers and a delicious velvet jacket and ruffled blouse. </p> <p>Actually I DO have an interesting RL- type sweater that evokes English countryside to me; if it were only a little dressier or combined with something more satiny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854858 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 09:15:15 +0000 rachylou 1854858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest, I think I'd personally freeze... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854854 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 07:56:03 +0000 Lucy 1854854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is gorgeous. I agree with others that tall boots would be perfect, but if you can't get them, I wouldn't fret - you really do look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854853 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 07:29:00 +0000 skylurker 1854853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress, wrap and clutch work very well. Tall boots would be more dressy - or maybe you have a pair of low heeled suede booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854840 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 05:59:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 1854840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is so pretty and the whole outfit looks great. I know what you mean about spending so much time thinking about what you will wear to an event. But I do find if I'm happy with the outfit that I relax into the event better. Do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854803 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 01:37:54 +0000 unfrumped 1854803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, thanks, I could do that for sure if I’m not too worried about temps. Or maybe I could do the double- up with smoke or off- black hose over sheer hose. I’ve never done double tights but YLFers have touted that for better warmth when trying to LOOK less like you’re bundled up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854802 Sun, 22 Oct 2017 00:57:47 +0000 Brooklyn 1854802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you. Way better than on the model. Much more elegant length. The clutch and wrap are great too.<br /> Have you tried sheer black tights? I would also try out a grey-ish tinted sheer tight. They are usually labelled "smoke" or something like that. Just to lighten things up a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854782 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 21:36:54 +0000 unfrumped 1854782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right! I’m not sure about all the festivities, but it’s a wedding ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854775 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 20:44:28 +0000 JAileen 1854775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, if there's dancing, that will warm you up. When we took ballroom dance classes I always left in a sweat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854773 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 20:40:43 +0000 unfrumped 1854773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, delurked ! Sometimes I have to think about how to spend more time DOING and less time collecting what to wear while doing. For me there’s a fine line between achieving my confidence level and trying to just be satisfied more easily. Or, having fun with fashion as much as I can without letting it take me over. I can get paralyzed. I still love suggestions and ideas for tweaks because it might make a lightbulb go off somewhere in my brain, for now or later, and because I can THINK about options without being compelled to act on them. </p> <p>Firecracker, that’s a great point. I will try a couple of black under- items to see the effect. The warmer I am “ as- is”, the less likely I am to huddle in maximum wrappings, but can look “ nonchalant”! Weather updates will help too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854767 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 20:25:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1854767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done! The dress is gorgeous on you. The silver earrings echo the clutch nicely (and I don't even see the clip in your photo). If you need extra warmth, I think you might be able to wear a lightweight black layering tee (I have Uniqlo in mind) with sleeves--it would forfeit the sheer sleeve look, but I think it would just look like an intentional lining of the sleeves. (I would push up the sleeves, not leave them hanging out.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854761 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 20:14:00 +0000 delurked 1854761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. Yes, I can see it with tall boots, but I think the tights fill in the space visually to allow for booties too. Totally love that dress, and think you can wear the outfit with confidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854751 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 19:03:18 +0000 unfrumped 1854751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie ! Those funds are an inspiration for finding a pair.<br /> I only recently realized I’d be able to attend this event. So there’s not too much time for boot- shopping- sigh- trial and error sizing, such big packages and can’t get returns done promptly with my work schedule- plus my tendency to grasp at something last- minute instead of being picky.<br /> We shall see... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854747 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 18:51:01 +0000 Angie 1854747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the dress, wrap and clutch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I vote get tall flat boots. Read Monday's post. I have 13 inch calves too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854733 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 18:20:52 +0000 unfrumped 1854733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, that is a good idea about backup wraps. And there always DH’s suit jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-farm-wedding-guest-attire#post-1854726 Sat, 21 Oct 2017 17:54:02 +0000 JAileen 1854726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very pretty. A full length slip will also provide some warmth. I actually like the shawl. I would probably bring the black jacket but leave it in the car. Then retrieve it if you need it. It won't look bad. Everyone will envy you for being warm. Do you have tall boots? They would be warmer.</p> <p>I went to a barn wedding last year and it was so hot I thought I was gonna die. </p>
