I appreciate all comments and ideas.</p> <p>I ended up wearing the white jeans, silk blouse and the white blazer for the first part of the day. Later on the weather&nbsp;became really balmy so I changed to the dress, but kept the black patent wedges all day. High heels were not the appropriate dress code, and we went to a private home for dinner where the floors would have taken a beating with stilettos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Karie - a hen party is a bachelorette party&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelorette_party">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelorette_party</a><br />Sometimes the entertainment is quite embarrassing and forces the bride to go way out of her comfort zone. She might be asked to do a number of stupid things while her friends cheers her on&nbsp;from the sideline. Other times the entertainment has a strong sexual undertone. The party I went to was nothing of the kind, but a warm, friendly and stylish affair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941540 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:41:26 +0000 columbine(erin) 941540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any of these would do beautifully but I vote for the dress. You look stunning in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941483 Sat, 25 May 2013 15:36:57 +0000 unfrumped 941483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since&nbsp;I appear to be&nbsp;numerically challenged, will clarify--I'm&nbsp;trying to vote for the white pants outfit. Outfit 3, #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941452 Sat, 25 May 2013 14:53:26 +0000 Angie 941452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4! And then #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941407 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:38:15 +0000 bj1111 941407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 then #3 if it is not too late.</p> <p>The message from one of the others re wearing a dress to e is suggesting a dress code. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941376 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:26:47 +0000 Anonymous 941376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the white "suit" and the blue dress, with the white blazer also. May I suggest pairing the dress+blazer with the metallic peep to shoes in the "white suit"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941370 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:50:04 +0000 unfrumped 941370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF always. Be sure to wear your hair!</p> <p>I still like the idea of pants outfit unless you have some kind of more relaxed dress. #3 is great (unless pedicure, as noted, or it's a spa that provides luxurious bathrobes). And unless you get the feel that all the others will be in dresses and you want to be the same. If you wore the cobalt dress, do you have some nude footwear or some that seem more daytime or more festive (not sparkly), less serious than black?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed/page/2#post-941368 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:21:11 +0000 krishnidoux 941368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I vote outfit 3 too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941342 Sat, 25 May 2013 09:34:27 +0000 Karie 941342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the outfits, but my favorite is Alternative 3 (#4). I think the white on white hits all the points - simple, effortless, chic modern classic. White on white is very on-trend right now, and I like the way the shoes pick up the colors of your blouse.</p> <p>And what exactly is a hen party, and why is it sometimes embarrassing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941335 Sat, 25 May 2013 06:04:34 +0000 CocoLion 941335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All options as shown in pictures 2-3 or 4 are great. &nbsp;The dress seems less casual than the pants options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941332 Sat, 25 May 2013 05:53:13 +0000 Ingunn 941332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again! I know what to do now: I'm starting the day in #3, bringing along the dress, and if I feel like changing later, there will be ample opportunity for that. I'm going to carry a lot of stuff anyway. Thanks for helping me out on yhis, I'm off in half an hour. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941061 Fri, 24 May 2013 21:45:39 +0000 JulieJohn 941061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you do #3, can you wear the lower heels from the daytime #1 for more comfort, and switch to the metallic higher heels for evening?</p> <p>Love them all, fave is #3. I think this sounds like a dreamy party day, have a ball! It reminds me of a grown-up version of a birthday party I got invited to as a kid where we did lunch, cake, pinata(!), and then they took us all to the circus and bought us snacks and souvenirs! Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941058 Fri, 24 May 2013 21:42:42 +0000 Ingunn 941058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all advice! I'm sleeping on it - it will be fine anyhow. Good night:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941046 Fri, 24 May 2013 21:22:30 +0000 ElleH 941046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1 &amp; #3. I love #3 the best but if you feel a dress is more appropriate then #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941028 Fri, 24 May 2013 21:00:02 +0000 hedgiehog 941028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're going to have a full, fun day! I haven't been to a hen party since my own in 1994! I like #3 the best. Have a wonderful time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-941010 Fri, 24 May 2013 20:18:35 +0000 rachylou 941010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and your peep toe shoes, if you'll be doing a lot of running around. It's all of those things - casual, dressy, modern and fun. Sounds like a full day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940969 Fri, 24 May 2013 19:35:57 +0000 Mona 940969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, I vote for #3 and 4. Are the grey pants new in #3? So glad you have found the white necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940945 Fri, 24 May 2013 19:04:31 +0000 Beth Ann 940945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #3.&nbsp; I'm always game for a dress, though, and you can never go wrong with cobalt, imho! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940935 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:50:33 +0000 Thistle 940935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #4 best.&nbsp; I hope you have a terrific time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940933 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:24:05 +0000 Suz 940933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a tough decision! I adore #3 (and am so glad you kept that top after all!) but if a dress is more in line with what others will wear then #1 is also super fab. What a fun party it sounds like!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940930 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:18:20 +0000 missvee 940930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both options are lovely and I see your dilemma. When you are out with a group, are you a person who prefers to be slightly overdressed, or slightly more casual? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940894 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:05:33 +0000 Missey 940894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for 3...amazing!&nbsp; Unless you are getting pedicures...then you will want a dress or trouser that can go over your knee (and a sandal so you don't smudge your pretty toes!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940889 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:53:03 +0000 celia 940889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was loving 1and 3 until I saw your last post.In light of that I would wear #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940853 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:57:54 +0000 Ingunn 940853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! This is a tough decision. I just received a a mail from the girl who arranges it, and she will be wearing a dress. I do see that #3 will be more comfortable and less dressy, but still modern and stylish, so I might pick that anyway. I'm giving this a little more thought first.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940843 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:49:27 +0000 Ariadne 940843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3, followed by #1. &nbsp;#2 is lovely, but not as dressy and festive to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940840 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:45:15 +0000 Diana 940840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1.&nbsp; I tend to overdress for things like this though. (but hey, it's a fun excuse to put on your pretty dress).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940829 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:23:35 +0000 Glory 940829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to throw my vote in for #1. I love 3 as well and it is my second choice (would be first here in Canada). Basing this on when I lived in Germany, I feel that number 1 will work wonderfully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940825 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:16:46 +0000 texstyle 940825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, you could go with any of these as you look fantastic in them all.</p> <p>I particularly like Alternative 2(#2/3) and Alternative 3 (#4), but since being able to take off the jacket and still look fab is part of the desire, I'd probably go with Alternative 3 so you have the arm coverage you mentioned. I also think it will be just a little different - cobalt blue is so popular right now, it may be worn by at least a couple of the other ladies. And I love the sandals so that is swaying my opinion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hen-party-outfit---help-needed#post-940792 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:22:06 +0000 Adelfa 940792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 was the big winner for me as well. It really stands out as stylish and appropriate for the event. I love the dress in #1 but not with the white blazer, but that may be me because I had an outfit with a cobalt dress and a white blazer, and I decided I didn't like it.</p> <p>Also I love the sandals in #3, and hope you can wear them for part of the day! </p>
