I love it too! I'm rethinking that it might work for the dinner if, as you say, I wear some big jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564754 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 16:20:38 +0000 bmed 1564754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the charcoal one! &nbsp;Probably not for the wedding though. &nbsp;Some big sparkly jewelry will make you fit right in at the CASA event. Maybe a colorful wrap? or bag? &nbsp;The great thing about it is that you can wear it with tights and boots later for a more casual look...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564705 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 14:35:00 +0000 JAileen 1564705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Ryce, I really like the grey one too. I was trying to make it work, when the blue one would be more appropriate for the dinner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564694 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 14:21:42 +0000 Anonymous 1564694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like wearing the blue is the right choice for these particular events, and I like the idea of wearing it with the nude pumps and earrings and bracelet.<br />Glad you are keeping the gray, too. &nbsp;That is a really pretty dress!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564690 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 14:14:53 +0000 JAileen 1564690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, thanks for your thoughts. You're right, the blue one will probably work for both events. Yes to sleeves! The grey one will be nice when it gets cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564683 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 13:55:58 +0000 Sara L. 1564683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both dresses, but the blue one seems dressier.&nbsp; I really like that the charcoal one has sleeves since it can be hard to find sleeved dresses.&nbsp; It seems like the blue one would work for both events. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564520 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 04:33:51 +0000 JAileen 1564520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Women at this event mostly wear cocktail dresses, and a few wear long dresses. There is lots of glittery stuff. I was surprised how dressy it was the first time I went. A few women do wear business type suits, but not very many. I think the woman who is the head of the CASA organization here likes to dress up and has set the tone. She always wears a long dress. You're right, the grey dress would be perfect for work or church. I tend to underdress, and bought the grey dress because it's my style, and it fit. The blue one is out of my comfort a little since it's so bright, but it also fit pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564493 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 04:05:32 +0000 catgirl 1564493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of dressy is the CASA event? Like work/court dressy or cocktails? That is throwing me off. I like both dresses but wouldn't have matched them to events you've described. The grey dress looks like work/church and the blue like wedding/cocktail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564490 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 04:02:47 +0000 JAileen 1564490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts, greycat. My husband also thought the grey dress wasn't right for either event. I think I'll keep it anyway, for church, or whatever. I can definitely wear the blue one to both events, although I'm not sure what I'll do for a wrap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564475 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 03:34:30 +0000 greycat6 1564475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others that the blue one looks dressier. &nbsp;Could you wear that to both the wedding and the CASA event? &nbsp;Change up the accessories for each event? &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564381 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 00:13:55 +0000 JAileen 1564381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, thank you, that's a good idea. I might have time to look tomorrow for a metallic shoe. Finding something under 3 inches high is really hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564367 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 23:34:09 +0000 Dee 1564367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blue dress is dressier, especially paired with some statement jewelry. The nude shoe works but a metallic shoe or something would really amp up the dressiness factor for either event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564309 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:26:18 +0000 JAileen 1564309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheryle, thank you for your ideas. I think you nailed it - the charcoal one will be too warm for the wedding, but maybe okay for the dinner if I amp it up with jewelry. I don't know what to do about a wrap. I'll have to think about that.</p> <p>Ginger, thank you. You're right, the charcoal one is a sweater dress. It's supposed to be cool this week so I thought it might be okay for the dinner.</p> <p>Carole, thank you for your thoughts. I think you're right about the charcoal dress not being right for the wedding. The lace dress is out of the ordinary for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564304 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:07:03 +0000 Carole 1564304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the nude shoes work for either dress , also. I'm thinking the black dress might not be appropriate for the wedding but maybe I'm wrong about that...they are both lovely, especially loving the Lacy blue... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564303 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:06:24 +0000 Ginger 1564303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The charcoal dress is very cute; it does look a bit casual to me, as a sweater dress. The sleeves are also not typical of evening events. I would definitely dress is up with some bold, fancy accessories.</p> <p>I agree the shoes will go with either one. The blue is fancier to me, and a very pretty color. Cheryle makes a good point about needing a wrap, and minimal jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564296 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:02:01 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1564296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the nude shoe (or close to nude) would work with either dress. &nbsp;Will you need a wrap or cover of some kind if you go with the blue? &nbsp;I would just do earings and a bracelet or pretty watch with the blue since it has such nice texture to the fabric</p> <p>I like that the black has sleeves but will it be warm if you are dancing? &nbsp;I think this one could carry a necklace and would add earrings or a bracelet. &nbsp;You could add a color with the jewellery or go with mixed metals. &nbsp;The dress is like a blank canvas so you can do almost anything with it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-these-dresses#post-1564271 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:28:40 +0000 JAileen 1564271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two events coming up, a CASA volunteer recognition dinner where some people really dress up, and a wedding. I thought I was all set but my husband thought the dress I bought earlier was too summery. So today I bought these two dresses, mainly because they looked okay on me. The charcoal one is closer to my knee than on the mannequin.</p> <p>How would you style these dresses? Do you think one would be better than the other for either of the two events? I bought some tan patent shoes as shown. Do you think they're okay for the blue dress? I have black shoes that I thought might work for the charcoal dress. </p>
