What a fab outfit. I hope you felt like a million bucks because you certainly look like it https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-889466 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 22:11:18 +0000 pil 889466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth Ann, the closet frustration has more to do with spring/summer. I hope to start another thread on a couple of purchases soon.<br /><br />Two new pics of what I wore&nbsp;were added up top. I hope it worked!<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-885072 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 03:00:33 +0000 Beth Ann 885072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look terrific in all these!&nbsp; A while ago, you seemed to be discouraged in your closet.&nbsp; Well, your closet fairy has certainly been at work here!<br /><br />For a fundraiser, I vote for #1.&nbsp; I'm also quite partial to #4.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-885006 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:38:29 +0000 pil 885006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha, good one Firecracker! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-885003 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:25:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 885003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like 1 and 3 the best for the occasion, as they are dressier--get it? (groan!) You look great in all of the outfits, though. I do love the fuschia skirt as a nod to Spring, and I prefer the look with the tall boots. I like the booties with the skirt, too, but I get Sveta's point, and I think I would prefer that shoe/skirt combo with a more contoured waist profile--e.g., a cardigan buttoned at the waist or open over a belted top--that kind of thing. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-885000 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:19:00 +0000 pil 885000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Zap, Aida and Sveta! I'm leaning toward the black dress and blouse as I haven't worn it yet : ) Sveta, thanks for commenting on the booties too. I just don't find myself brave enough to wear them yet with a skirt. You have an excellent point about the ankles too, although mine are hardly slim. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884993 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:09:42 +0000 Sveta 884993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the purple dress the best (#3) but I would pair it with a sheer or patterned black hose for low contrast with the boots. You look gorgeous in this dress and a white shirt underneath with just collar and cuffs showing looks very classy.<br />I may be a spanner here but I like the outfit with booties the least: I find they cover the slimmest part of your ankles. I think these booties are hard to wear with skirts. When I compare #4 and 5 there is no question for me that #4 is much more flattering: you really rock tall boots with the best of them!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884989 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:06:22 +0000 Aida 884989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I missed that it's satin, I like that very much! I have a hunch that open like this is going to look better than buttoned up because of the sleeve shape, but I could be wrong&nbsp;of course.&nbsp;I like the pearls, they are very classic looking if that's OK for the fund raiser. If it DOES work buttoned up, then I think it would be fun to try the rhinestone bow at the neck like an actual bow-tie https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884986 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:02:54 +0000 Anonymous 884986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like 1 the best too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884976 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 00:55:15 +0000 pil 884976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, it's a fundraiser, but around here you often see a little of everything as far as attire. The blouse in the picture is satin, but the collar isn't winged or anything unusual. If I tried it buttoned would you suggest a necklace with it? I have the pearls in the picture or a black beaded costume jewelry piece. Or there is rhinestone bow in the pencil skirt pic too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884809 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:18:41 +0000 Aida 884809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First off, #4 with the tall boots is super fabulous and I hope you wear that out and about often! It reads as more casual than the dress options,&nbsp;which makes me a&nbsp;little confused about the dressiness level of your event. Both dress layerings look good to me, too, and perhaps #1 would also work with a silky type button-up blouse. May as well play up the luxurious fabric vibe, no? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884753 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:17:40 +0000 Isis 884753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the booties with the pencil!&nbsp; I have not done this yet myself.....<br /><br />Let your friends' heads explode; YLF!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884747 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:08:43 +0000 kellygirl 884747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Srsly? You have such nice, slim legs. You look uber sleek in those booties--they really are almost a nude on you. Nice leg line :)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884743 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:06:52 +0000 pil 884743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Kellygirl.&nbsp; I think my friends heads would explode if I wore that with the booties.&nbsp; They had lots to say about them when I wore them with jeans......I'm not exactly sure if they were being complimentary or not. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884736 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:59:16 +0000 kellygirl 884736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, it definitely works! It looks sleeker with the booties. Another great option. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884721 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:38:42 +0000 pil 884721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Ceit, Liz and Kelly!<br /><br />Isis, Texstyle and Glory, I've added the python bootie pic.&nbsp;I think my legs are too thick for this but Angie has given me the go ahead in the past : )<br /><br />Kallie, the only other shoes that would work are a relatively low heeled black open toe patent or a higher heeled long and squarish toe suede/leather pump. A nude patent pump is on my shopping list. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884552 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:08:36 +0000 kellygirl 884552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, you layer most excellently! I love the sleekness of 1 and 3. So fab. I think the sweater and pencil looks good but definitely more casual. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. Nice to have great options! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884542 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:01:44 +0000 Kalli 884542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #1 and #3 the most too pil. One would think the blouse doesn't exactly work underneath #1 but somehow you have pulled it off with a slim fit white blouse, aka no bagging where the cap sleeves are. Do you have different shoes to make #1 more festive? How about a bootie?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884441 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:50:58 +0000 Liz A. 884441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 and #3 look great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884382 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:22:19 +0000 pil 884382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So I put on the sweater, pencil skirt, hose, python boots AND shapewear - and my camera battery died. I'll try later. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884369 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:15:23 +0000 Glory 884369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would love to see 4 with the python. I like all of these outfits and I think any of them would work.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884358 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:10:19 +0000 Anonymous 884358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like 1 also!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884353 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:08:03 +0000 texstyle 884353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #1 but would love to see #4 with the Petty pythons! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-decide-what-to-wear---does-this-work#post-884339 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:59:17 +0000 pil 884339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thistle, I should have known what you would prefer : ) Isis, The camel boots are really the only option other than black. Were I daring I could try the SE Petty pythons! And the layering is all inspired by Ingunn and her dress challenge.
