Not sure if there is something I am missing, but I like it the best on you.</p> <p>Whatever you choose, I hope you have a fantastic evening! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-842249 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:20:46 +0000 ironkurtin 842249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adults only, and from what I hear everyone gets pretty drunk by the end of the evening. I don't drink, so I expect I'll be designated driver (again). </p> <p>Really I just want to look attractive to the boy, I don't care what other people think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-842241 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:16:10 +0000 unfrumped 842241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 6 and then 5. You could dress them up with more jewelry and as Angie said, a contrasting bag. # 8 is way short.</p> <p>I would tend to forego the more revealing and bra-type-type dresses for this function.<br /> Part of it is, I don't do that well in those types for any event, so that's in part a style choice so big grains of salt are needed in terms of what you can wear well. But, do you distinguish "school fundraiser dressy event" as calling for less or more hot mama vibe, compared to say an event with DH for a different charity or community event?<br /> Is it a student-teacher-parent mixer, or is it adult-only? That would influence me, though I might be in the minority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-842205 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:39:16 +0000 Janet 842205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 5 and 6. You look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-842179 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:04:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 842179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may be too late but I love the color of #1 on you but the fit and cut of #5 and #6 are so flattering on your body that they have to be contenders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-842159 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:42:46 +0000 Scarlet 842159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm in the minority but I like 2 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841923 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:50:13 +0000 ManidipaM 841923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another, I think by now redundant, vote for #6 --- though I'd put #3 in second place, but #6 is more evening and #3 feels a bit more daytime to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841545 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:38:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 841545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you're sorted with #6 and the Helmut Lang clutch - just wanted to say you look FANTASTIC!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841518 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:19:56 +0000 cciele 841518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I can see why your boy prefers #8 then. You know, if you end up wearing that, I'd go without the skirt and wear boyshorts underneath. I saw the skirt, but it's almost the same length as the tunic and looks hidden. </p> <p>I like #6 because it shows off your awesome upper body shape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841514 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:17:04 +0000 ironkurtin 841514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the record #8 has a skier under and is the boy's favorite. He's a leg man.</p> <p>ETA: SKIRT underneath it. If I'm *lucky* I'll get a skier under. OH NO I DIDN'T! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841491 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:59:07 +0000 cciele 841491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, so many cool dresses! I'm going with the flow here -- love #6 because of how special it is. And you're right about 7. Fun sequins with #8, but it does need something longer underneath (leather leggings?) to make it appear that you haven't forgotten your pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841484 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:54:21 +0000 Raisin 841484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #6 wold be great for this event. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841479 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:52:04 +0000 Debbie 841479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 6. You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841441 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:57:46 +0000 K. Period. 841441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 6 and apparently I'm not alone. What I can't see is why there isn't more love for 5! That looks fantastic on you. How are you able to make EF look that fantastic? It looks so frumpy on me, but on you, wooooooow fantastic! (The VF ref made me smile. Which will go down on your permanent record.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841422 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:33:46 +0000 Tina.b 841422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #6 especially because of your personal connection to the dress, very cool. And it's a fashion forward look (non-prom look, lol).I also think you look just fantastic in the VPL dresses, particularly #2. That would be such a bold, fun choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841420 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:31:45 +0000 Angie 841420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That will do it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841414 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:23:36 +0000 ironkurtin 841414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a furry clutch from Helmut Lang that's gray... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841412 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:22:05 +0000 Diana 841412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841410 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:20:25 +0000 Angie 841410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's okay. Hubs is entitled to his opinion :)</p> <p>Go with #6 if you don't think it's too casual. Red lips and how about a non-black clutch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841408 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:16:24 +0000 ironkurtin 841408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, the boy doesn't like #1. He says its not me.</p> <p>For #6, does red lipstick count? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841405 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:13:23 +0000 Angie 841405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best! So Moulin Rouge - and such a great juxtaposition with your persona, hair and specs. </p> <p>I like #6 too but find it very casual - and would love to see a non black something in the mix. </p> <p>I like the vibe of #8 but it's too short. I do like the fact that it's roomy and short though - as opposed to tight and short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841404 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:12:47 +0000 Suz 841404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #6 is in the lead so far. I like the idea of wearing a piece that your friend will recognize. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841402 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:11:02 +0000 Anonymous 841402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 by miles </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841400 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:09:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 841400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841397 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:07:30 +0000 Sara L. 841397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #6 also. I agree that #7 isn't the most flattering and #8 seems a little short and flashy for a school event. I also like #3 the best of the little black dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841390 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:00:59 +0000 transition 841390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought #6 just from the description. . . but even more after viewing the pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841389 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:57:35 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 841389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #6 - wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hot-mama---what-should-i-wear#post-841386 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:55:20 +0000 ironkurtin 841386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As in, yeah, it's supposed to be warm (70s) on Friday, and I have a fancyish event to attend. It's my daughter's school's fundraiser, and from past event pictures, some people are wearing prom dresses and others are in business casual. Since I never get a chance to dress up, I figured I'd trot out my fancy pants and try them on. </p> <p>Note: These are the shoes I'd wear (Coclico), but I'd spring for more opaque hose.</p> <p>1 - Miguelina purple with black lace silk frock. Very girly for me, and also a color (!).</p> <p>2 - VPL #1. If you followed my trauma with a previous VPL frock, I think this one actually fits! However it is a very casual fabric.</p> <p>3 - VPL #2. Second verse, same as the first, only with a drapey panel across the tummy. You know, in case I eat something. Also casualish fabric.</p> <p>4 - VPL #3. Third verse, only longer! This is more of a maxi. Casual fabric, times three.</p> <p>5 - Eileen Fisher ponte dress. Your class multiputpose LBD. This is pretty corporate but it could also swing bombshell with that V-neck, maybe?</p> <p>6 - Herf-Christiansen drop-front black tunic over slip. H-C is designed by a friend (who is also attending) and it would be fun to wear her stuff so she can see I do really wear it. The upside to this is that although it is long-sleeved, it is very light material. The front cowl is trimmed with leather to give it enough weight to fall nicely, and the sleeve cuffs have an awesome detail.</p> <p>7 - IRO sequin top, Eileen Fisher black ponte skirt. Man, this top is unflattering! PASS.</p> <p>8 - IRO sequin tunic, Eileen Fisher black ponte skirt underneath just in case I raise my arms much higher than this. Oddly, although the tunic is one size bigger than the top in #7, I feel like it fits better! Maybe it's the length. </p> <p>I'm tipping between #6 and #8. Anyone? </p>
