I was just contemplating what to wear for our big Thanksgiving dinner (we usually host a bunch of friends since there is no extended family nearby). I thought that a rust-colored silk blouse with a skirt would be nice for that gathering but then realized that it would perfectly match my tablecloth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-467388 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:13:46 +0000 sarah 467388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, you know that is one of my favorite outfits you've posted : ). But I am HOPELESS when it comes to putting together holiday outfits. In fact, I'm totally freaking out just thinking about putting together my family get-together outfits! But I can't wait to see yours. Perhaps I'll get some inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-467334 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:48:51 +0000 Shu 467334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread, Chewy. I love your skirt, and your party ensemble sounds perfect. I want to wear Angie's metallic midi, that sounds amazing - but I'll settle for pictures ;). I just bought a black sheath dress with 3/4 sleeves that I might be able to spice up with a pretty belt, and I also have a red cashmere sweater that I could wear with my black pencil skirt - although I really love the idea of shimmer or sparkle, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for something festive in that vein. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-467145 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:26:30 +0000 RoseandJoan 467145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Presently it is a work in process!</p> <p>I love the sound of your outfit Khris, please post the final look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-467143 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:22:41 +0000 Anonymous 467143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, that is a great skirt! How about a top with some sequins on it under a cropped cardi or jacket?<br /> I've already had one holiday event and wore the olive/bronze sheath dress with a grey/bronzish silk tunic jacket and metallic pumps (wish I'd worn the red ones).<br /> I've posted the sheath before and will try to find the photo. It is silky with large abstract red orange flowers scattered and a beaded belt.<br /> For a more casual affair I plan to wear a long red cowl neck sweater with scattered sequins, skinny dark wash blue jeans and red patent pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-467055 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:33:52 +0000 Elly 467055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of that skirt with your tapestry purse. </p> <p>I currently don't have any holiday events on the calendar. I think it will depend on whether or not I am employed before Christmas time. </p> <p>Of course, I always have a few family holiday events, but they are more smart casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-467046 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:22:20 +0000 bj1111 467046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>khris, my fave so far. i love that skirt on you. you were it so well!!!</p> <p>i'll be wearing years-old navy blue pants silk beaded pants (i call them my cher pants) worn with a navy or white tank and a blue silk tuxedo jacket or with my ruffled white shirt from anne fontaine. i better wear these pants since i fit into them only every 2 years!!</p> <p>i also have an emerald beaded/sequined tank work with skinny black pants and jean jacket for cocktail parties as a back-up. the tank hides party-belly. hello cocktail weiners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466971 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:30:37 +0000 Lisa 466971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit. I'd like to wear a skirt and nice blouse to holiday events this year. Or a dress with sleeves. But both options will depend on if I can wear proper footwear. I'm still wearing sneakers right now. If I am in sneakers for the holidays I'll stick with trousers. The one item I do not want to wear for holidays this year, is jeans. I want to start dressing up a tad more for holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466914 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:21:15 +0000 Anonymous 466914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen Mum, I have a similar event, a holiday Rotary dinner. I am easily 20+ years younger than everyone else who usually wear their 'christmas' sweater and pin. The men are lucky, just a suit</p> <p>I don't know what to wear to that either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466867 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:58:31 +0000 Deborah 466867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope we get to see all these gorgeous sounding holiday outfits:) Khris that skirt looks lovely on you. I think the way you have described for the party sounds perfect. I think it will really lend an edge to the overall look... and with pearls how can you go wrong.</p> <p>I have at least 4 functions leading up to Christmas (some are work) and I have no idea what i will be wearing... guess I better start thinking about it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466829 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 06:07:44 +0000 san 466829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful!!

There is always a lovely assortment of holiday sweaters I'm thinking I will probably wear my not-exactly-new-but-not-yet-worn black sheath dress, red and black Isola pumps and pearls. Pretty basic, but I'll be way over dressed even at that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466691 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:31:49 +0000 Angie 466691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the sound of your holiday outfit, Khris! I can't wait to see it. </p> <p>Jenava, I hope we get to see your lace trousers again this year.</p> <p>I'm going to wear a metallic form fitting midi with long sleeves. The details are up in the air. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466680 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:26:44 +0000 Jenava 466680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewy, I LOVE this skirt on you! I think it will look awesome with pearls and some sort of fitted top and/or cropped cardigan (maybe something really soft and angora-y?)</p> <p>You always have the best party outfits...I love your burgundy dress with the black lace tights, too.</p> <p>I do not have a party to go to...we may have our own cocktail party at our place. We've done it a couple times before and it's been fun (our place is small, so it can be crowded...but people tend to come and go). I figure that if no one else has a party at least we can dress up for our own. (-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466670 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:22:14 +0000 Sara L. 466670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question. I can't think of anything in my closet right now that I want to wear to a holiday party. I should probably keep my eye out for an interesting skirt or top in the next few weeks. I like to be prepared for events instead of shopping the day before I need the clothes. I love your skirt and think it looks fun for a party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466661 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:18:01 +0000 Suz 466661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, lovely skirt, Khris! </p> <p>It would look really nice with cream, too. Don't you have a lacy cream top of some kind? Or a black or navy one? </p> <p>We don't get invited to many holiday parties these days because both of us are now working mostly from home and our friends don't tend to throw that sort of party. (Or any sort of party...dull bunch, or what?) Our events tend to revolve around the kids, who are wildly varying ages. But I still like to find ways to get a bit dressed up during the season. I haven't really figured out what this year's outfit might be; thanks for getting the wheels turning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466643 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:05:04 +0000 Nadya 466643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris,<br /> I love your dea of lots of pearls and that purse. A gold sequined top might be fun with the skirt.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466618 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:45:14 +0000 Nakidra 466618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh ... I LOVE the skirt! For the holiday party I'd wear the skirt with maybe a nice button-down blouse with the collar "popped" and with a ton of jewelry and nice heels. I'd leave off the jean jacket for the party, but it looks really cool for a high-low mash up causal yet polished day. Such a great skirt!!</p> <p>I'm thinking of this skirt for our holiday parties with a white shirt, platform pumps and diamonds. </p> <p><a href="http://www.downeastbasics.com/images/products/detail/NOV11_sleeksequin_dustycedar4795_O.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.downeastbasics.com/.....4795_O.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-talk-holiday-party-gear#post-466602 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:13:52 +0000 chewyspaghetti 466602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's that time of year- what are you planning on wearing to your holiday events?<br /> I know that we have the annual work party for my husband (which they have combined with the service award dinner this year- boo!), and maybe a cocktail party to go to. I want to wear my new Cynthia Rowley pleated midi skirt, but I'm not sure what I will wear with it. Probably similar to this, but with lots of pearls and my vintage tapestry purse. </p>
