Coloured or blingy footwear and clutch! Have fun... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833934 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 20:20:34 +0000 Anonymous 1833934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Diana about either in the urban setting, especially if you polish the look a little with your hair and makeup but I would wear the dress. <br />It actually looks like less work in the warm weather and it's seems like the choice that would be considered appropriate by the largest number of people, many of whom might not be urban dwelling.<br />Have fun! That's exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833920 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 19:10:06 +0000 Diana 1833920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they will both work esp in an urban setting. Are you still in NYC? At every wedding I've been to in the last few years (including the last one which was v dressy and evening) there have been women in black trouser outfits that have always looked right at home so I think the trousers are fine. I would personally prefer a short sleeve or sleeveless top just cuz it's summer. I'd also add some blingy jewelry. </p> <p>(I know you don't have time to shop right now but actually at the last wedding there were two ladies in black jumpsuits that looked amazing if you want ideas for future events!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833916 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 19:01:07 +0000 gradfashionista 1833916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any broaches, but I have statement earrings that I was going to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833906 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 18:33:58 +0000 L'Abeille 1833906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear the dress. Can you locate a really blingy brooch or cluster of brooches to glam up the lapels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833880 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 17:48:26 +0000 rachylou 1833880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either will work. I too prefer the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833873 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 17:25:16 +0000 The Cat 1833873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have just read your ETA. Nice to hear that you do have a dress option. Go for it! In general, I much prefer to see women in dresses when attending a wedding.<br /> And if wearing a lot of black (which many find kind of depressing for a wedding), consider wearing a shawl in a bright, pastel or jewel colour. Remember: This is a happy and festive occasion, not a funeral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833872 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 17:21:29 +0000 jill58 1833872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy -- I'd go with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833870 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 17:16:13 +0000 Anonymous 1833870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dress and pant outfit look fine to me, but if in doubt, I'd go with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833868 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 17:11:13 +0000 The Cat 1833868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it depends on how your hosts want you and other to dress for this wedding. (How formal or informal do they want it to be?) So my best tip is : Ask them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-minute-formal-outfit-help#post-1833865 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 17:01:52 +0000 gradfashionista 1833865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a wedding this afternoon, and was planning on wearing a black column dress. Unfortunately, even though the dress fit well a few days ago, it no longer does Would this be an appropriate outfit or would it be too casual? I'll have a metallic silver clutch to add some glam.</p> <p>ETA: I have a silk satin trench dress that does fit, but SO isn't a huge a fan. </p>
