I am going to go shopping for one. Give that the dress is red, I guess I should stick with a black faux fur topper to match the black boots?</p> <p>Caro, Torontogirl, thanks for letting me know that these boots are too harsh. I will go shopping for a more dressy pair of boots ..... perhaps one with a higher heel?</p> <p>Kkards, Rachylou, it is a party with a group of friends and musicians from all over town at a banquet hall. I am definitely going to get tights, since the bare legged look does not work for a Christmas party, at least not on me. Thank you for your advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411960 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 18:05:06 +0000 Helena 1411960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Caro suggestion of the boots, along with Firecracker's suggestion of a faux-fur shrug; I'd prob. wear black hose also&nbsp;... think those would pull it together very nicely. Great color and fun dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411954 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:59:46 +0000 rachylou 1411954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Semi-formal as in a high school dance? But in general, I agree about adding stockings for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411771 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:38:11 +0000 kkards 1411771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i guess it depends on the crowd. if this is a work party, then i'd definitely add black pantyhose. if this is a group of friends, then i think its ok as is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411746 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 10:17:57 +0000 Caro 1411746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be completely honest, I think in order to pull those boots off with that dress, you should go for some black pantyhose. The black boots are a bit harsh and the style doesn't really go with the dress IMO... however, it being winter and cold, I understand wearing boots! So as a solution, I would definitely wear something on your legs. </p> <p>Otherwise, I would go for something different for footwear, like <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/Ankle-boots-women-st-10217-10127-0.phphttp://" rel="nofollow">perhaps a shoe boot</a>... like this one... but I think I would still wear at least nude coloured pantyhose... I always think it looks odd in winter if people have bare legs! Though I guess it dépends on your climate... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411709 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 05:01:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1411709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a very pretty dress on you. I would add the sheer hose, perhaps double-layered. (You could layer patterned hose over another sheer, for example.) And how about a little faux-fur shrug? Faux-fur is super cozy and still dressy looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411693 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 04:12:23 +0000 columbine(erin) 1411693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you have for toppers? Double layering hose sounds like a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411660 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 03:29:06 +0000 Noro 1411660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mala, thanks for the response! I agree with you regarding seasonally appropriate attire .... I was wondering too if I can make this outfit warmer yet still fit in with a semi-formal theme .... </p> <p>Your idea of sheer tights sounds good .... perhaps I can double layer my tights so I don't freeze? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411633 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 02:01:28 +0000 ma 1411633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what's expected at a semi formal (I'm the girl who asks friends what they're wearing) but I would probably try sheer hose, maybe in black. My biggest worry would be whether this is seasonally appropriate (are you going to freeze?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-okay-for-a-christmas-semi-formal#post-1411606 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 00:50:25 +0000 Noro 1411606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this red dress and black boots good for a Christmas semi-formal? Is it okay to go bare legged or are tights required for a winter semi-formal? </p>
