You've nailed this look, Michelle. I think your shoes work beautifully and I love the pearls, although I'm with Mandipa in my curiousity aout the champagne pearls. This look is the height of chic and very flattering, also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787302 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 05:31:40 +0000 ManidipaM 787302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Angie has spoken---and there's hardly anything one can add to that.</p> <p>GORGEOUS dress, Michelle, and apologies for yelling that! You look beautiful. I agree with Jenava---the pop of red in the clutch is just enough. And the shoes look great.</p> <p>I'll confess, though, that the possibility 'champagne pearls' piqued my curiosity too, given the underpinnings of the dress. Are they a different shape/length of string? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787301 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 05:28:47 +0000 Diana 787301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, this is so beautiful and elegant and perfect for your occasion. I think the shoes look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787287 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 04:36:56 +0000 Jenava 787287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, GORGEOUS! everything really works together! You should see if someone can get a photo of you at the party, too...I'd love to see this look in action!</p> <p>To speak to your specific questions - I prefer these shoes over red. I like the single pop of color in the clutch. The hosiery reads as sheer, and if you find it more comfortable you might swap them out just for simple sheer hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787282 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 04:26:54 +0000 marianna 787282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

The whole outfit is fab. I love how you've styled the pearls. They look so modern that way and the red purse gives a great burst of color. Enjoy your evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787232 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 02:15:20 +0000 Suz 787232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous, Michelle! It's a great dress, and what astonishes me is that despite the fact that it is clearly formal and dressy, it also looks extremely comfortable, and you look comfortable in it. </p> <p>I wouldn't worry a bit about the shoes; these are just fine, unless they don't feel fine, in which case if you have time and the funds you can search for something else. But if the event is post holiday, then perhaps you can wait for sales. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787231 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 02:12:22 +0000 merwoman 787231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection - every detail; the lace, your pearls, the clutch...everything! Have a wondeful time at the event - you are a knock-out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787228 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 02:10:00 +0000 Michelle 787228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Holy cow, it sure does! Thanks so much, Angie...and holy promptness, too!<br /> So I don't have to change a thing, then?<br /> I have to recommend this dress for your curvy clients, too. It's available online and it's such a winner. They have an assortment of other lace frocks for those who are less hourglassy than me, but here's mine:<br /> <a href="http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Party_Perfect/12060902" rel="nofollow">http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-si.....t/12060902</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787224 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 02:07:24 +0000 Angie 787224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER.</p> <p>That means the very best on YLF! I guess that answers your question about how I feel about this outfit, Michelle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/journalism-gala-dinner-help-me-dress#post-787222 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 02:05:09 +0000 Michelle 787222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, </p> <p>I've been lucky enough to win a ticket to what promises to be a fascinating evening celebrating journalists who have taken extraordinary risks to uncover important stories. This is a fairly formal due, as you can imagine, and I'm starting to plan my outfit already. I'd be most grateful for your input. </p> <p>Here's my original thought and the picture of the concept:<br /> Black lace dress with nude lining<br /> Mass of white pearls (do let me know if champagne would be better)<br /> Black microfishnets<br /> Black pointy-toed pumps (I'd love to have something more exciting, but the budget is an issue at the moment)<br /> Red clutch</p> <p>On the day of I will, of course, also sport deep red lipstick, full makeup and have my hair done. But I welcome any and all comments on the ensemble as it stands right now. Is there too much black? If I really do need to spring for new shoes, what colour would you recommend? I know red would be amazing, but need it match my clutch or could it be a different shade? Will these pumps do if I just can't find the funds for new shoes? How about the hose -- are they ok? And the dress? This one needs to be as close to a perfect 10 as possible. </p> <p> Thanks so much, ladies. I really appreciate your help with this fun yet nerve-wracking wardrobe challenge. </p>
