Head back to bed! Seriously. I would find a way to make excuses to skip out on the formal stuff and go to your kids events. You would regret missing that more than the other. Simplify! </p> <p>I would keep what I wear very simple. Change up the accessories. If you can manage it only the jewelry.. Maybe I would change the topper, but that is getting to be a bit much, you will need to carry a suitcase! Your OTK boots would be great because they can dress up or down. A pair of leggings a very simple black or citron tunic and all you need to do is pick some awesome necklace to make it look more casual or formal. Maybe change up your bag. Maybe...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612507 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 04:33:12 +0000 rachylou 1612507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EF sounds very good to me.

I think I would wear pajamas and go back to bed. <br />Seriously, hope you had a good time, and I know you looked fabulous whatever you wore. My advice would be: pretend you are dressing for a marathon YLF meetup, and you'll be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612373 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 20:35:53 +0000 Gaylene 1612373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An Eileen Fisher tunic and pants with flat booties--with a necklace and switch to heeled shoes for the evening</p> <p>Seriously, that's what I wore one day for a ferry ride, an afternoon walking on the seawall, an evening at the opera, a late dinner, and breakfast the next morning before the ferry ride home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612365 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 20:16:25 +0000 Helena 1612365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One word - black!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612356 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:53:55 +0000 approprio 1612356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit is right, start with the shoes. All day footwear. How do the OTK boots fare?<br />Leg wear should be comfortable but something that's not going to loose its shape during the day. Tights, leggings or skinnies, it's all good.<br />Throw on a tunic/swingy dress and a great jacket and you're done. All ready to enjoy the day :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612341 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:24:30 +0000 Aida 1612341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citron cashmere tunic, waxed jeans, neon necklace. Have a dressy jacket for the latter half. Casual boots for early half, dressy booties for latter half. Easy peasy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612336 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 18:57:07 +0000 rabbit 1612336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd start with the shoes, maybe one comfortable casual pair for the morning and then a more edgy/dressy but still danceable pair for later. &nbsp;El Cee has a good outfit idea, I'm thinking anything you wear that you can change the topper and shoes out and take it into more dressy/more clubby territory would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612322 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 18:17:43 +0000 RoseandJoan 1612322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you able to start the day in a casual top and have a dressier one tucked into your bag? Your day sound fab and exhausting, have fun? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612311 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:55:10 +0000 El Cee 1612311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about something in the long over lean silhouette? You do it so well and always look spot on. I had a similar situation around the holidays and chose to wear a simple sweater dress/tunic over somewhat fancy skinnies. For the first event (the more casual of the two) I added a moto jacket and chunky boots. For the dressier second event, I removed the jacket, added a blingy necklace and substituted pumps for the boots. I made the simple quick change in the car. The outfit was appropriate for both occasions and felt like PJ's… always a big plus in my book.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612305 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:37:12 +0000 broadearthqueen 1612305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A pink tee or dress shirt, black leggings and a nice pair of sneakers, transition into flats and done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-get-dressed#post-1612303 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 17:30:21 +0000 catgirl 1612303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I have to attend in short order:</p> <p>1) a 6th grade basketball game<br />2) taking boys to Kung Fu Panda 3<br />3) a nice dinner with my climbing partner and her husband and&nbsp; after that, a ukulele concert in a semi-dressy performing arts center<br />4) a breast cancer awareness fundraiser at a casual nightclub featuring an all female rock band and dancing</p> <p>WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TODAY?!<br /> I may or may not have time to come home and change between&nbsp;2 and 3.</p>
