Fun that you weren't in the back and people could admire them!-) Gold shell works great with the trousers. You could add some extra bling with a necklace (or your brooch, fab idea), but this worked great for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083417 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:30:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 2083417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nailed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083399 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 12:19:26 +0000 Helena 2083399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fab outfit - you walked the line between professional and festive perfectly. I can see that some bling at the neckline would look nice, but when I personally like one statement per outfit, and the pants are it - so to me this is just right.</p> <p>How did the performance go? Our choir at church invites everyone on stage to sing the Hallelujah chorus at Easter - it's really uplifting to be a voice in that - I can just imagine doing the whole thing with a more professional choir (and being a proper singer, unlike me!!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083377 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 09:08:21 +0000 Style Fan 2083377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pants are fabulous.&nbsp; I like them with the black blazer and gold top.&nbsp; The pants look interesting but not loud.&nbsp; I think they would be fine for work with your white lab coat over top.&nbsp; They are certainly festive looking.<br />How lovely to sing the Messiah!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083376 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 09:06:25 +0000 Synne 2083376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I adore this on you! The pants are super fun and glamourous. I like the blazer paired with the cream sweater too, it grounds the outfit, and goes beautifully with your hair. (I'd love to hear you perform!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083375 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 08:44:34 +0000 rachylou 2083375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say it’s right on the money, not that bling would’ve hurt! How fun to sing the Messiah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083371 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 07:55:32 +0000 Cardiff girl 2083371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great,those trousers are fab ,subtly dressy.l hope the concert went well,l love hearing The messiah sung. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083364 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 06:53:25 +0000 slim cat 2083364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit looks good without a bling - however the chain, brooch or narrow scarf could have worked too. I really like those printed pants with a classic jacket. I imagine any accessory with blue or turquoise in it would play well with those fab pants . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083347 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 03:25:59 +0000 Jaime 2083347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I love the trousers. I do think some contrast or sparkle near your face would add some festive fun, but that is probably not what you are going for at work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-occasion-1#post-2083346 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 03:22:07 +0000 L'Abeille 2083346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's what I wore last night to sing in a performance of Handel's Messiah. I drove there straight from work, no time to change, so I wore it for a full office day as well.</p> <p>These are the colourful satin pants I thrifted for my sister but they don't fit her yet... I wore them last Christmas twice with various dressier black tops.</p> <p>This year I went with a sleeveless gold shell, that doesn't get much wear (even compared to my other once-a-year sparkly items) because I need contrast next to my face. For that contrast, I added a blazer with velvet collar. Flat pointy toed booties to finish (we have some snow so the gold tipped d'orsay flats wouldn't do).</p> <p>I was going to add a sparkly brooch to the lapel at the end of the day but forgot it in the rush. As it was, I was not standing at the very back like usual, I was in a spot where my colourful pants were visible to the audience, so I wasn't just a blob of black in a sea of festive reds and greens.</p> <p>I left the jacket off at work under my white coat. I wondered what kind of comments I would get, being so unusually dressy (patients do sometimes comment on my attire), but no one said a THING until the end of the day, when I got a compliment on the pants.</p> <p>What do you think? Did I get away with no contrast at the neck? Was it too dressy for work or too drab for a concert? </p>
