It definitely strikes me as the most hip/trendy.&nbsp;I also really like #6; it is a safer but striking look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023430 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:35:05 +0000 nancylee 1023430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has spoken! &nbsp;I do like my b/w dress in #10....not sure if it's going to be too warm to wear it tomorrow. &nbsp;I always think of that dress as fall/winter. &nbsp;But we'll see. &nbsp;</p> <p>Diana, I'm with you on the black pumps with the slouchy trousers. &nbsp;The more I look at #1 and #2 the more I like #1.</p> <p>Suz, I don't have a coral silk blouse but I used to have a JCrew coral 3/4 sleeve cotton blouse (my first YLF purchase) that I finally let go to good will because I found the sleeve length bothersome. &nbsp;I'm on the hunt for more coral, though (and tomato red, pink, grass green, marigold....). &nbsp;I've got a lot of color catching up to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023395 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 01:22:51 +0000 Angie 1023395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #10 best.

Unlike everyone else I much prefer this outfit with the pointy black flats. I think it looks edgier than the nude shoes. I like 6 also for a dressier option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023217 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 22:06:15 +0000 Lyn D. 1023217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 or 5 are the 'hippest' of these lovely outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023206 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:59:42 +0000 nancylee 1023206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of love for the b/w dress in #6. I'm waffling between #2 and #6 at this point.</p> <p>Suz, I definitely have some necklaces to lighten up these looks. &nbsp;These are just thrown on without accessories. &nbsp;It's a problem for me, though! &nbsp;My wardrobe right now&nbsp;is very dark when what I need is light, clear and bright. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023170 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:38:01 +0000 Liz A. 1023170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3, 6, or 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023167 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:36:15 +0000 Suz 1023167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like #6 the best.

I'm really a pants girl so #2 would be my first choice though it is a little on the darker side in color (but it IS Sept. rigiht?). &nbsp;I used to be involved in marketing in a corporate setting and parties like this were often all over the place in terms of dress.&nbsp; Some people would be wearing jeans and artistic tees and others would be dressed like they were going to a more formal dinner event. When a part is at someone's home, I would think it wouldn't be too formal though or they'd let you know ahead of time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023137 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:53:00 +0000 Jjsloane 1023137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 6 or 9 best, but I always err on being dressier than everyone else if I'm unsure of the dress code. You can't go wrong with a dress that showcases those fab pumps!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023130 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:41:39 +0000 nancylee 1023130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, unfrumped and Angela. &nbsp;I'm leaning toward the tunic/slouchy pants. &nbsp;I'm a tunic fan and I'm still a little skittish about wearing the slouchy pants; the tunic helps me feel safe wearing them! &nbsp;</p> <p>I wanted very much to wear them with the Okalas, but they looked funny; the cuff and shoe strap seemed to be&nbsp;fighting each other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023129 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:40:14 +0000 Angela 1023129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Nancylee,<br />To throw the cat amongst the pigeons a tad... I love the tunic/trackpant combo! I prefer the outfit with the nude VC sandals. To my eyes, I think it looks the most hip. I do agree with Unfrumped that the outfit may benefit from the addition of the Okala pumps, although I can envisage the outfit completed with some dark, dramatic make-up. Good luck choosing! :)<br />Have a great time at the party anyhow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023122 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:29:56 +0000 unfrumped 1023122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the track pants but not with the tunic. Have you tried the Okala's with the track pants? I've let the hems slide over a top ankle strap like that before just to make use of the front part of the shoe. I think they look most trendy and I'm more a pants-person, but then again the tube skirt is going strong and skirts are nice for parties.<br />I like the turquoise skirt but not sure what to go with it. Your beautiful kimono is hip and very pretty with your coloring and I like that outfit better than the black &amp; white v neck.<br />Not much help so far but you've got some great options going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-dress-for-party-saturday-nightneed-help#post-1023108 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:19:56 +0000 nancylee 1023108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband and I are going to a party tomorrow night to celebrate a PR firm's anniversary (it's a work-related event for him). &nbsp;I have no clue about the dress code and DH is of little help! &nbsp;All he can tell me is that the party's at the owners' home, and that the guys who own the firm are quite hip and stylish.</p> <p>Sooo....I want to dress hip and stylish. &nbsp;The weather is supposed to be clear and sunny and about 75-80 F. &nbsp;It's September, so I don't want to appear too summery or too dark/wintery.</p> <p>I could wear some of the options with my new Okala pumps, seen here:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-pumps-i-bought-them-now-how-to-style-them">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....style-them</a></p> <p>or one of these:</p> <p>#1 - Madewell tunic with EF slouchy silk trousers/black kitten heels<br />#2 - (same as #1 but with VC sandals)<br />#3 - VC navy tube skirt with cold shoulder bird print blouse<br />#4 - VC teal tube skirt with kimono and silk blouse<br />#5 - Silk blouse and VC teal tube skirt</p> <p>#6-10 - dress options with Okala pumps</p> <p>Opinions?
