I felt fabulous in a way I wouldn't have had I worn jeans. So as long as she is aware that everyone else will be wearing jeans and not put off by that, I say go for it!&nbsp;</p> <p>If she would enjoy it (which is not clear to me given that she is envisaging 'elegant') a leather moto jacket and flat ankle boots&nbsp;could balance the elegant dress, if that wouldn't spoil the look in her eyes (and from a MOTG POV leather can be wiped down when small child working on consuming&nbsp;chocolate&nbsp;dabs it&nbsp;with sticky fingers, as I can attest from experience!)</p> <p>I hope she has a terrific time!</p> <p>Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372881 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:27:21 +0000 Meredith 1372881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen W, Maxis are a good idea. I feel silly asking, but what type of shoes work with maxi dresses?</p> <p>Marin, More good ideas! I definitely need to work in some fancy with shoes or jewelry! And yes, my SIL is superwoman! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372866 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:06:15 +0000 Anonymous 1372866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My go to night out outfit is dark jeans, boots or fancy flats and edgy but soft jacket, all things that I can use on a daily basis. I add a slinky top and jewelry to give me that 'night out without the kids' feeling. </p> <p>She is a very brave woman! 4 under 5 is a handful. What a great idea to help her focus on herself. A little kid help pre-event to allow her to dress would be great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372858 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:50:47 +0000 Jen W 1372858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a MOTG too and totally understand her desire to take the opportunity to be glamorous. Those moments can be few and far between. A moto and boots would be a great accompaniment and could transition to her daily life really well. I usually wear jeans or a maxi dress to concerts depending on the venue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372856 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:48:26 +0000 Meredith 1372856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thoughts, ladies. Thank you. Lisaap, I hear you on the dress. Its not what I would wear, but I think Aida has the right idea...the dress idea comes from her being excited about a night to herself! I agree casual is the way to go. And a knit moto would be comfy for buckling kids into car seats. Thistle I'll keep the shoe heel low! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372848 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:27:25 +0000 Aida 1372848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on whether I'd be sitting, standing, or in a pit... and the band, along with the venue If your SIL is looking for an excuse to dress up a bit I think a dress with flat boots and a moto would totally work as long as the dress is more casual. Bonus that if it's casual she could use it for normal life too. If she doesn't have a great well-fitting pair of jeans, that's another option. A knit moto or jacket could also work (though perhaps a bit warm). Those could all get day-to-day wear, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372837 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:20:21 +0000 Anonymous 1372837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd definitely be in jeans - and a leather jacket of some kind . &nbsp;I can't imagine wearing a dress to a rock/pop concert - maybe to a jazz concert&nbsp;&nbsp;or the symphony but even those are trending so casual these days. &nbsp;I've seen younger women in "dresses" at Beyonce and Gwen Stefani concert, but those are more "club wear" than anything. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372832 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:17:01 +0000 Thistle 1372832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not been to a concert in soooo long . . . </p> <p>A fab pair of jeans and moto would definitely work for a MOTG. And I love booties - practical for my climate, comfortable, and stylish. I just have to keep the heel at or blow 1.5 inches.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-goes-to-a-conert-help-me-styke-my-sil#post-1372829 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:10:21 +0000 Meredith 1372829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My SIL is a sweet, busy mamma of four (under 5!). She's attending a Paul McCartney concert next week and I want to buy her something fab to wear because I know she hasn't been shopping or thought about style in ages. I want to pick something that will work in everyday life too. She said she'd like a simple elegant dress. Could we pair that with flat booties and a moto jacket? I am not a mom, so fab mammas what would you wear?</p> <p>ETA, I'm not sure what her style descriptors would be, so just tell me what YOU would wear. </p>
