I just can't pull that look off, unless the sweater is more tunic-length (i.e., more of a mini-dress). </p> <p>I'm now thinking that I'll wear a skirt, blouse, and jacket to the christening, and just bring along jeans so I can simply swap out the skirt for jeans. And yes... I may even be able to do that in the car. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54088 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:12:00 +0000 Angie 54088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I'm with Sinead. She took the words out of my mouth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54078 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:29:25 +0000 neatnic 54078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's not too warm for the sweater dress, you could add denim skinny jeans after the christening to dress it down. Perhaps a wrap or shirt dress would work in the same manner if its warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54074 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:02:14 +0000 Ariadne 54074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd just change when I got there, too. Actually, I'd probably change in the car! I'm a pro at doing this. It's surprisingly easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54062 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:22:37 +0000 shiny 54062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater dress was first thing that came to my mind too, except it looks like it's going to be 50 degrees and sunny, so I don't know... it may be too warm. (Yes 50 degrees feels warm to me these days!!)</p> <p>Sinead may have the best idea.... I may just have to change. Actually when I think about it, I am guessing my daughters will want to change too - no way I can get them to stay in a dress all day long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54059 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:16:26 +0000 Inge 54059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Laura's suggestion Shiny. Your beautiful sweater dress was the first thing that came to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54056 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:05:00 +0000 Laura 54056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your sweater dress might do the trick - sweater dresses always feel a little more comfy than a regular dress, and slightly less dressy, don't you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54026 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:42:48 +0000 sinead 54026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would just take along a casual outfit and tell everyone "We just came back from a christening- where can I change?" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54009 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:57:34 +0000 Anonymous 54009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the christening could you wear a simple black pencil skirt in a matte fabric with one of your great jackets, a knit top underneath and heels, maybe dressed up further with a beautiful silk scarf? Then for the b-party change to a denim jacket with the same knit top under it, remove the scarf and change into flat shoes or boots? You could add a more casual knit scarf or even a bandana.<br /> You could arrange a large scarf under a jacket for the christening so that the knit top doesn't show at all and even get by wearing a graphic tee.<br /> This is a challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-challenge#post-54005 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:43:11 +0000 shiny 54005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saturday I have a fashion challenge: we are attending two very different events on the same day. There will be no time for a wardrobe change in between. I am stumped about what to do, and could use YLF forum creative genius here. :-)</p> <p>The first event is a christening, followed by a christening party. I am thinking it requires a dress or skirt. Definetly no jeans. </p> <p>The second event is an early St Patrick's Day party/birthday party.<br /> There's no time to change because we have to drive a long way to make this bday party - and it's not optional because it happens to be my BIL who's having the bday!!! At most, I could swap out shoes or accessories in the car on the way. </p> <p>I guess I don't mind overdressing for the second party. The people who will attend are uber-casual/sporty types - a logo-tee, baseball cap, sneaker and jeans type of crowd. I would usually go smart casual anyway. But, I will feel totally out-of-place if I look like I just came from church. :-(</p> <p>Suggestions? </p>
