I really like #1 as I find the grey very flattering on you and works beautifully with the jacket. But they all look fabulous so you can't go wrong with whichever you choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-731143 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:58:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 731143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in any of these Denise - have a wonderful time - whatever you choose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-731141 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:57:49 +0000 annagybe 731141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late but I also like the last outfit best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-731138 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:56:08 +0000 CocoLion 731138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input. I actually felt best in the last outfit, because the swing top only works with heels IMO. So it depends on which pair of shoes I go for: flat booties or 3" wedges.</p> <p>BTW pictures 2 and up all feature navy pants or a navy top, not black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-731114 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:34:44 +0000 catgirl 731114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You went to school with MCC? That's too cool - I listened to her a lot, despite my general dislike of country music - she's more folksy which I like and I love her Cajun tunes. </p> <p>I love the first outfit so so much and the second one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-731083 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:44:43 +0000 kellygirl 731083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way! Mary Chapin Carpenter? How awesome is that! Next you'll tell me you live next door to the Indigo Girls! Love both outfits with the column of color--grey and black versions. They really let that fab jacket shine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-731003 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:04:33 +0000 KathyL 731003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first outfit!

Whatever you choose to wear will be KILLER. There is no doubt in my mind :)</p> <p>(Loved your arm candy blog post comment btw, and responded to it. And you cracked me up with your comment on yesterday's Westfied Style blog post too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730884 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:25:45 +0000 Caro in Oz 730884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure you'll look amazing! An edgy jacket is always cool imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730824 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:30:11 +0000 catgirl 730824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it were me I'd wear jeans, boots, and an edgy jacket... But I'd wear that to everything. So cool! You have to let me know if he ever comes up here to speak! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730821 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:27:06 +0000 CocoLion 730821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestions! I love the idea of wearing the Zara jacket Angie. I have some new dark grey jeans from Paige via Nordstorm, I'll break those out. Or maybe my Rag &amp; Bone tux jeans with that jacket. Pictures to follow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730816 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:18:56 +0000 Angie 730816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I'm thinking of the stunning Zara jacket that you got at the swap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730803 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:06:00 +0000 Suz 730803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fab!! </p> <p>I agree with the jeans and jacket formula, along with a great pair of wedges (which will show you are not a gearette). Depending on weather, maybe that ONly Mine sweater? Don't know how it works under a jacket but I like the idea. Or weren't you the one who wore sparkle and a jacket to inspire me? That would be fun, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730793 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:57:07 +0000 Inge 730793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a fab pair of skinny jeans, one of your beautiful blazers, perhaps the J.Crew striped popover (orange and navy?) and a stylish clutch?</p> <p>Have a marvelous time tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730761 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:28:08 +0000 Angie 730761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you wear jeans to the event, Denise? So exciting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-inspiration-attending-one-of-my-brothers-speaking-engagements#post-730751 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:18:36 +0000 CocoLion 730751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight inside Yosemite Valley. Any ideas of what to wear? There will be lots of gear I'm sure but generally the climbing crowd is very attractive. As the sister of a well-known climber, I have no idea what I even want to convey. Just a part of the audience? I prefer being a little more fashion-forward than that.</p> <p>ETA -- pictures and event update.</p> <p>It turns out his speech is tomorrow. And I have a conflict!! Tomorrow I have tickets to see Mary Chapin Carpenter, with whom I attended jr. high school. So I have to pick one. Oh No! Decisions! I have so few exciting events (that offer smart casual dressing opportunities), it really sucks that they fall on the same date when I also don't have to work.</p> <p>1 -- Grey under Zara jacket with heels.<br /> 2/3 -- Navy oversized swing top (same as grey one above), and tux jeans, Zara jacket. Plus 1.5" chelsea boots, given uneven terrain in park, this might be wise.<br /> 4/5 -- Same as above except J Crew v neck tee. Not so leg shortening given shorter hemline.</p> <p>Thoughs/votes? </p>
