Is this a daytime or nightime event?

Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras/page/2#post-842959 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:03:20 +0000 Kiwichik 842959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer number 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras/page/2#post-842829 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:06:44 +0000 Aida 842829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2, and agree with Cciele that #1 -belt +long necklaces would also look fab.

I don't know whether to push the comedy or therapy button:) I know these crops are not on your list of favorites, I think I have learned my lesson but since I can't take them back I am determined to wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842699 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:03:19 +0000 Angie 842699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I'm trying not to look at the length!!!)</p> <p>You have a gorgeous bottom, my dear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842698 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:01:25 +0000 Carole 842698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I just posted another thread showing the back side of 2-what do you think of this view:| </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842686 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:54:55 +0000 Angie 842686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #2 too. Those colours are lovely on you, Carole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842681 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:49:07 +0000 Carole 842681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JJsloane, I tried your suggestion, the sweater and blouse are almost the same color but the blouse has a neckline that doesn't really lay right or work with the cardigan, darn.</p> <p>I took some more photos of the top in 1 without the belt and from behind in both variations, I think I will post another thread for some additional feedback. Thanks for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842675 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:37:06 +0000 Jjsloane 842675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 a little better, have you tried the blouse from 1 unbelted with the cardi from 2? (are they the same color?) Oh and beads would be lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842607 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:36:22 +0000 Carole 842607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>June-Thanks-sure wish I had a picture from behind...</p> <p>Joy and Tex-going to look through my jewelry for beads and necklaces, maybe I should wear the belt as a necklace:)</p> <p>Mia- Thanks for the crop pant love, I needed that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842592 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:23:38 +0000 Mia 842592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 for sure and a little bling wouldn't go wrong. You totally rock those pants, the cropped length is nice on you. I like how the tone in the shoe kind of echoes the pant colour and leads the eye on down.</p> <p>Have a lovely party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842549 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:54:36 +0000 Anonymous 842549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions, but would like #1 w/o a belt and add some Mardi Gras beads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842542 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:49:45 +0000 texstyle 842542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of prefer #1 (without a belt I think but WITH multiple long gold necklaces or beads if possible). #2 is fine but seems more office casual than #1, which seems more party festive to me for whatever reason. And I love the shoes with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842538 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:45:17 +0000 JuneBug 842538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2, it looks more streamlined and you look as slim as you probably are and even dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842523 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:31:26 +0000 Carole 842523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ingunn and Caro!</p> <p>Donna, your too funny! Thanks for your vote!</p> <p>Rachylou, I really like 2 from the front, but not sure about the back side view.....better snap a picture of that and see. I have some gray sweaters that are longer but I love the purple color so much more with this...hmmmmm....maybe I should go rent a costume! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842519 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:27:23 +0000 rachylou 842519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is fab. I don't know if a longer sweater would look better. </p> <p>Ok but I do think you need some shiny green plastic beads and some feathers in your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842495 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:10:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 842495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842492 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:07:57 +0000 DonnaF 842492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow, I associate Mardi Gras with Rio, so you're wearing WAY too much and are missing feathers in back &lt;gr&gt;. But I like #2 as a more interesting look, and the top won't show minor spatters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842469 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:41:34 +0000 Ingunn 842469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Carole! I love them both. Not helping, sorry! Good luck with your party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842455 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:27:42 +0000 Carole 842455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, you are too funny! Party sludge is a new term to me, and I'm hoping I wont be dealing with that on Saturday:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842448 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:21:45 +0000 Thistle 842448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 better. And definately add some beads!</p> <p>However, if you are going to the real Mardi Gras, you would be waaay too dressed up. We used to buy a pair of jeans, couple of tees and sneakers from Walmart so we could just throw them away after the long Mardi Gras weekend. No way to get the "party sludge" out of clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842427 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:57:44 +0000 Carole 842427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cciele..great idea about the beads! thanks for chiming back in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842419 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:53:15 +0000 cciele 842419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, now that you mention the belt on #1. I'd try without a belt but add several festive longish (but varying in length) necklaces, to replicate the Mardi Gras necklaces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842415 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:48:39 +0000 Carole 842415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cciele- thanks for the thumbs up on crops! </p> <p>Jules-good pointer about wedges or sandals, but this color is tricky and not sure what would look right. These animal print shoes are about the only thing I have that I think will work.</p> <p>Suz-Thanks so much!</p> <p>Unfrumped- Thanks, maybe the top would look better sans belt....? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-outfit-ok-for-mardi-gras#post-842412 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:44:07 +0000 unfrumped 842412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the column of color effect in #2. But I also bat part-time for Team Rear View so i hear if you are uncomfortable about that. If you do a belt with #1 I might try a wider one. I like the color combos. </p>
