Wear #4. Then, on your way there, swap the black opaques for some nude sheers, whip off the cardi, scrunch up the sleeves of the white shirt and undo the top button, add a statement neck piece and a black patent leather belt and you are ready to graciously accept accolades for the completed project! Well done, Emily! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163270 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 05:10:55 +0000 Anonymous 1163270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree with Sveta about #5 and sheer stockings. You could even wear them under your tights and just remove the tights. Voila! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163268 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 05:07:34 +0000 Diana 1163268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whatever you do, please wear the red pumps! I like #5 best also. </p> <p>Will you be warm enough without a jacket? I think your blazers are a little long for the skirt. Do you have a cropped jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163245 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 04:45:49 +0000 Marmee 1163245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and 5 are my favorites, and I agree with Sveta about the sheer hose. &nbsp;Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163223 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 04:27:06 +0000 Suz 1163223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sveta said, about the outfit, the tights, and all --&nbsp;and congratulations!! This sounds like fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163213 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 04:20:05 +0000 Sveta 1163213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt and red shoes in #5! In addition to shoes&nbsp;I would also swap the opaque tights for a sheer hose - nude, black or patterned. It should not take long but will change the look to more "evening".<br />Congratulations on completing the project! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163204 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 04:15:09 +0000 celia 1163204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the project!</p> <p>I have no solution but am looking at the comments because I also have something like this coming up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163077 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 02:06:38 +0000 Angie 1163077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 gets my top vote.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163053 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 01:44:33 +0000 shiny 1163053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the clarification! If the guys are going to be in suits and ties then yes, the chiffon skirt for sure. And the red shoes! I'd wear those to work in a heartbeat!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd love to see the white shirt without any topper, tucked in. There's something appealing if the guys are in suit jackets &amp; ties, with you in crisp&nbsp;button down on top, but chiffon skirt and red pumps to dress it up.</p> <p>What are you going to do about a handbag?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163050 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 01:35:29 +0000 JAileen 1163050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4 and 5 best. But what Shiny said - you have a room, you can wear whatever!</p> <p>Sounds like fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163032 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 01:01:08 +0000 lyn* 1163032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 - you look long and elegant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1163006 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 00:25:52 +0000 LoriFLA 1163006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like every slook but I have to vote for the chiffon skirt. &nbsp;It is too cute on you with the tights and black pumps or blue booties. The red pumps are great too!&nbsp;I like the white blouse option with chiffon skirt or plaid sweater with chiffon skirt. &nbsp;It's more "party" to me, but I think the pencil skirt looks nice as well...</p> <p>If I had to pick my top two it would be&nbsp;#3 and #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1162999 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 00:18:39 +0000 rabbit 1162999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look good but my favorite is&nbsp;5 too, and 7 although the softer skirt in 5 gives it an edge for me. &nbsp;The red shoes look GREAT&nbsp;in general. &nbsp;I think because their color is dark/subtle they are fine for a work party, but I don't know the norms of your office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1162986 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 00:01:41 +0000 Emily 1162986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the responses! &nbsp;I have been not so patiently waiting for an opportunity to bust out my red pumps and I think this is it. &nbsp;My boss specifically told one of my male coworkers to wear a tie... I am tempted to show up in one for kicks...</p> <p>Shiny, we'll be arriving at the hotel right when the celebration starts, so I am counting on only enough time to dash to my room, drop my bag, swap my shoes, and touch up my face. &nbsp;The other attendees from my office are mostly male so I expect they'll be in shirts and ties all day and wont need to change. &nbsp;I am planning on packing my pjs, change of clothes, a clutch,&nbsp;shoes, and toiletries into my Kate Spade Beau bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1162947 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 23:20:34 +0000 shiny 1162947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough choices! They all look good!</p> <p>Red heels are totally fine, and I like them. </p> <p>#5 is my favorite.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you're staying overnight, you'll be able to check in to your room when you arrive, right? How much time is allotted for that? Does it leave enough time to change/freshen up? </p> <p>If you're packing a small overnight bag, maybe just toss everything in it and decide when you get there...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-what-to-wear-to-a-work-party#post-1162941 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 23:12:30 +0000 Thistle 1162941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tough!
