Personally, I would wear a peplum jacket with the skirt you chose. With the right accessories, you could pull off a steampunk-light look. However, I'm going to defer to others on whether the peplum is on trend with the shape of the skirt. <br /><br />(I tend to welcome new trends, but never say goodbye to the old ones, so I'm not the best authority on whether something looks dated. However, I *love* playing with color when I get a chance.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-905012 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:24:47 +0000 Katie 905012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK people just had another potential thought with regards something that might go with the skirt;<br /><br />How about a jacket like this with a top underneath the jacket?<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Womans-Ladies-Peplum-Frill-Blazer-Smart-Crop-Button-Jacket-Suit-Work-Coat-Tops-/251250793910?_trksid=p5197.m2280&amp;_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D191%26meid%3D6887211141737515074%26pid%3D100068%26prg%3D1104%26rk%3D3%26sd%3D130741852738%26%26clkid%3D6887211042092940222&amp;_qi=RTM1178013">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Woma.....RTM1178013</a><br /><br />Tell me what you think?<br /><br />Thanks https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-903400 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:55:46 +0000 Katie 903400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wonder if you are on msn? &nbsp;I imagine you aren't allowed to give out details here though if you are. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-903397 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:53:26 +0000 Katie 903397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh thanks that would be lovely though I am not a 5 day member yet https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-903375 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:34:45 +0000 JennyK (NC) 903375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nope, not surprised Sending you a PM so we don't get too off-topic.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-903289 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:13:01 +0000 Katie 903289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh thanks Jenny for your interesting post and feedback. &nbsp;That is really nice to know. &nbsp;Would you be surprised if I said I wasn't gay? &nbsp;I just want to go out and look as good as possible but of course I do want to come across fem. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-903216 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:22:18 +0000 JennyK (NC) 903216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Katie, I've just come across this post. My oldest son just describes himself as "queer" but he likes to wear makeup and ladies' clothing. Sometimes he wants to look androgynous and sometimes more feminine. My experience of observing him is that your feminine personality involves so much more than your clothes! Of course you want to ( and will) look smashing, but remember that your femininity comes from inside and can shine through in a skirt or in jeans and sneakers. You will shine both from the outside in AND the inside out! :-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-903201 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:11:11 +0000 Katie 903201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well I have ordered the top https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-902451 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:51:52 +0000 Katie 902451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awww thanks fashionista that's really sweet of you.

Good Luck with your big night!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-902404 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:47:54 +0000 Isis 902404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie has mentioned that heels with a platform are on their way out....so if you want to be of-the-moment, you might consider finding a non-platformed version.&nbsp; I'll try to find where she said that....<br /><br />ETA:&nbsp; lots of comments about this kind of shoe being on its way out here:<br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prada-heels" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/prada-heels</a><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-902360 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:47:29 +0000 Katie 902360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh thank you again, more good advice. And you're probably right it will all just click together. As long as I look stunning on the night https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-902331 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:02:00 +0000 T-Rex 902331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are welcome! And don't worry too much about what you may not have considered yet. Your feminine self is a work in progress, and you will probably find yourself and your tastes evolving over time. Which is kind of exciting. <br /><br />One more bit of fragrance related advice: If you want to smell nice, but minimize the possibility of wearing something too strong, I suggest trying a scented moisturizer. It is much more difficult to overdo it with a lotion or body cream&nbsp;than with a perfume. And you will get the added benefit of soft skin. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-902281 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:20:19 +0000 Katie 902281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hiya and thank you again. I have practiced a bit in heels but will definitely practice more. I suppose I do want look and feel as elegant as possible. As for perfume, I do want to wear some but not really thought about it as yet. But wow thanks for your advice it is much appreciated At the end of the day I just want to look and feel as feminine as possible whatever it entails. I probably have so much more to think about but not even considered as yet. Yikes ha ha. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-902010 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:21:19 +0000 T-Rex 902010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the shoes. Have you practiced wearing a heel that high? I say, don't wear a heel higher than you can gracefully walk in. If you are comfortable with the heel and platform height on that one, though, I think it will look lovely.&nbsp;<br /><br />As for perfume, are you a fragrance lover? Or are you considering a fragrance just to complete the outfit?&nbsp;<br /><br />Here is a link to a perfume nut community which, from what I have seen, is friendly and welcoming to newcomers. I believe they will be just as welcoming to you as this&nbsp;community has been. They have something called "The Monday Mail", where you can ask for fragrance recommendations. According to their website, they have a backlog of requests. However, you may find what you are looking for by reading through past posts.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nstperfume.com/the-monday-mail/">http://www.nstperfume.com/the-monday-mail/</a><br /><br />That community also has pointers on how to get perfume samples. I highly recommend getting enough of a sample for several wearings, so that you can truly decide if you like a fragrance before shelling out big bucks on a full bottle.&nbsp;<br /><br />I agree with the comment above to go lightly on the fragrance for your first night out. A person should have to stand right next to you, or even lean in a bit, in order to smell your perfume. Anything stronger than that is risky. BTW, the term for how "far" a perfume travels is called "sillage". So when you see that word, that's what it means.&nbsp;<br /><br />And if you aren't really that interested in perfumes, feel free to ignore my ramblings. Perfume just happens to be a recurring interest of mine. And recently, the interest has been sparked again. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-901606 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:59:02 +0000 Katie 901606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anyone? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900967 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:13:26 +0000 Katie 900967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What do people think to these shoes?<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/baldwin-heel-silver.html">http://www.heels.com/womens-sh.....ilver.html</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900694 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:55:19 +0000 Katie 900694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Isabel :)<br /><br />Yes I definitely think a liver bracelet of some kind would be nice and the one you posted is really pretty.<br /><br />Gosh the look is really coming together. &nbsp;Nervous and excited https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900652 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:47:16 +0000 Isabel 900652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Katie, perfume is tricky I think unless it is very, very subtle. &nbsp;Not everyone likes to be around people with perfume and it might seem "too much". &nbsp;I wonder if anyone can recommend a light, fresh scent that seems very natural ? Ladies ? &nbsp;Anyone ? &nbsp;I &nbsp;don't think that you need something in your hair. I think that is also difficult to pull after a woman is 30 -35. &nbsp;To paraphrase&nbsp;CoCo Chanel , look in the mirror and take one thing off...I think it should be the idea of the &nbsp;hair accessory.&nbsp;<br /><br />I completely agree with the necklace, you don't need one. Your top has a very interesting neckline and shoulders. &nbsp;I think a cuff bracelet would be great. &nbsp;Did you see Sona's ? &nbsp;I posted it below .&nbsp;It doesn't need to be in color but it would be great in silver to match the shoes. &nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900585 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:55:45 +0000 Katie 900585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh thank you Laura, that is really nice of you. &nbsp;Well not sure about gorgeous but well here's hoping :)<br /><br />And yes of course I will put some pictures up. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900520 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:48:53 +0000 Laura B. 900520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love the outfit you picked out! I think the top will be great since the drape will hide your shaper/corset. I also like the idea of keeping your makeup and hair simple and elegant. Please let us see pictures when you do go out. Good luck! &lt;3 You are going to look gorgeous!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900321 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:13:35 +0000 Katie 900321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes I agree I think silver strappy heels and bag would be better, maybe even black as they would go with a lot of things?<br /><br />And yes not sure about jewellery etc. &nbsp;I am guessing with that top no need for necklace but maybe longish silver/diamante earrings? &nbsp;Maybe a bracelet similar coulour to top? &nbsp;Than nails, underwear, etc to think about. &nbsp;Perfume? &nbsp;Maybe something in hair/wig? &nbsp;Not sure.<br /><br />Oh thank you Rae and yes it is great. &nbsp;Yes would love to look chic. &nbsp;If I could look in the mirror and think I was pretty (you never know!) would be well happy. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-2/page/2#post-900290 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:42:49 +0000 rae 900290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Silver strappy shoes sound beautiful! I love the idea of a silver clutch, too. As Isis said, one that matches the top might get lost in the outfit. How fun that your friends are going to help with your hair and makeup - glad they are supporting you for your big night. You're going to look so chic!
