Agree #1 is most flattering but #2 with booties is great for brightening up a happy occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-for-work-dinner-with-bonus-boot-reveal#post-1747576 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:52:56 +0000 Banoffi 1747576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the booties on you, and think they look good with both of the dresses. &nbsp;I agree with Gigi, and think dress #1 is very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-for-work-dinner-with-bonus-boot-reveal#post-1747572 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:38:18 +0000 Gigi 1747572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, the booties look great! The fit seems perfect. You are definitely rocking the booties-with-a-dress look.</p> <p>I prefer dress 1 over dress 2 because the fit looks better to me. Dress 1 shows off your figure better. I think that with the right accessories to add some sparkle, it would be appropriate for a party. I think the effect would still be subdued, but not too much so--it would be more "elegant."</p> <p>It's kind of hard to tell about the fit of the off-the-shoulder top, since you're at an angle, but if you are having doubts, I would order the smaller size to compare. Since off-the-shoulder tops tend to be more loose fitting anyway, it might be nice to go with the smaller size and avoid excess fabric. I really like the design of the top!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-for-work-dinner-with-bonus-boot-reveal#post-1747570 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:29:36 +0000 Emily K 1747570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #2 :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-for-work-dinner-with-bonus-boot-reveal#post-1747567 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:16:08 +0000 kellygirl 1747567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The athleta dress looks perfect. I also love the boho tunic with skinnies although that probably skews too casual for a work event. I could see it with a faux fur vest, skinnies and your brown boots! I prefer the print dress with the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-for-work-dinner-with-bonus-boot-reveal#post-1747562 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:02:30 +0000 Andrea H 1747562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit for a colleague's retirement dinner next Friday. &nbsp;It's at a hotel near the hospital and, since it's sponsored by the department, I feel it's a bit dressier/more formal occasion than if it were just a bunch of us taking him out. Choices:</p> <p>1.) Athleta sweater dress that (as I mentioned in another thread) I bought mainly so I'd have something warm yet dressy yet subdued in case I had to go to a wake or court or something like that in the dead of winter, with black tights and black Frye booties. &nbsp;I have never worn booties with a dress in my life, but I think these look kinda good, actually. &nbsp;My question is, is this too subdued/boring for a celebration? &nbsp;I'd wear some blingy earrings but that would be it for accessories.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. &amp; 3.) Max Studio dress (Nordstrom Rack) with either the same booties or with the new brown Frye Veronica Slouch boots. (I went with the dark brown ones after all, guys.) &nbsp;This dress looks a little more festive to me. Hopefully I wouldn't freeze to death in it--the weather's been all over the place. &nbsp;Which footwear do you prefer with it?</p> <p>4.) Wildcard! &nbsp;I also got this cold shoulder tunic at Nordstrom Rack. &nbsp;I kinda love the print and the crazy sleeves, but pretty sure it's not appropriate for a work function. (Ignore the workout leggings with it; I promise I'd wear nicer black skinnies.) Do you think it's too big though anyway? &nbsp;I'd have ordered the XS if I knew it had as much room in the chest as it does. I was just worried because it's woven.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and all opinions and advice appreciated, even if it's "okay, start completely over, Andrea." </p>
