You look lovely and composed.</p> <p>And what a adorable kitteh! *sends virtual sardines to Max* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406309 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:38:19 +0000 MsMary 406309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote teal and orange! You look amazing in that outfit, plus I think it's super fun to wear the official colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406306 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:35:14 +0000 Suz 406306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, we're neck and neck for the official votes! </p> <p>Re suggestions to belt the grey dress - I will do so, eventually, when I get a fab chain belt like Carole's! Or just a slim belt, period. I do not own such a thing. I kind of like the waist surrendering nature of the sheath in the heat, but know I won't always wear it that way. I hope to layer it, belt it, and boot it in the fall! </p> <p>Lyrebirdgully, very good thoughts about the photo ops. Although it will still be daylight here at the event and there are walls of floor to ceiling windows, so I don't think light will be an issue. </p> <p>Thank you, all - I've not decided yet because you are all so persuasive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406299 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:11:11 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 406299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I read "photographed" in your intro, I knew straight away which outfit I would chooser of these two equally flattering appropriate outfits - #2.<br /> Often the lighting in these venues is "mood lighting", i.e. too low, so you need to be easy to see from a distance in somewhat uneven and gloomy conditions. The white jacket will be too glary under the light,and at the same time too static and bland for the podium. The bright colours of #2 will really help you stand out amongst all the other dignitaries wearing dark colours, who will just visually blend into the backdrop.

Do you ever belt this dress, Suz? I would be interested to see it that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406247 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:09:16 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 406247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 without the jacket. You'll look fab whatever you wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406241 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:46:11 +0000 Aunty 406241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look fantastic in all of them!<br /> I have to vote for 1, I think it would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406193 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 05:03:11 +0000 catgirl 406193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, although I love #2, I vote #1 because it looks fab with and without the jacket. I actually prefer the second outfit without the jacket/cardi - the orange top is so vibrant.</p> <p>You are a knockout - it's YOU that makes the outfit elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406181 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:59:23 +0000 Queen Mum 406181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for outfit #1 without the jacket. It is very elegant looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406145 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:28:09 +0000 Isis 406145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted for the second outfit. Great colors, and I love the tie-in with the festival. I think those colors will photograph well too.</p> <p>I love the dress in the first outfit, but I don't like the starkness of the jacket. Particularly when I think about photographs......</p> <p>Good luck on your fun occasion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406144 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:27:00 +0000 Marley 406144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big Yay for #1 - without the jacket. You look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406135 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:07:59 +0000 cjh 406135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The orange top and turquoise jacket are pretty! Since I tend to the more casual side, that is what I vote for, but the gray dress is also very pretty. Of course you will be looking for something to wear for the events later in September and this one might work well for that - a banquet night? etc.? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406130 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:59:33 +0000 Jonesy 406130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I haven't worn mine yet :). But I do have an outfit or two in mind... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406123 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:48:34 +0000 Deborah 406123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, both are lovley but #1 is perfect for the ocassion IMO. I love it! Looks fantastic with or without the jacket. No contest here for me. Big yay #1. Love your beads too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406118 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:37:43 +0000 Suz 406118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for your thoughts so far, everyone. Really helpful. </p> <p>It will be air conditioned at the venue. I THINK it will be warm enough without a topper, but wanted an outfit option that would allow me coverage if I required it. I guess I was thinking I would wear the topper when I greet people in the lobby and then (hopefully) take it off upstairs at the event proper. </p> <p>And yes, Nakidra and Jonesy, that IS the BR jacket. (And absolutely speak honestly, Nakidra; your opinion is valuable to me!) It is a nice little jacket; in the past the only way I've actually worn it is with jeans because they sort of dress it down and make it feel less ladylike. How have you worn yours, Jonesy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406115 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:26:21 +0000 sarah 406115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits without the jackets, too, and am leaning towards the cowl dress. It's so stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406107 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:17:19 +0000 christy 406107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My inclination is towards the first one. #3 is beautiful and I like that dress best on its own. Will it be warm enough to wear without the jacket? </p> <p>Like Aida, I also love picture #6. But I'm a klutz and would be worried about spilling on a white skirt... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406104 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:15:43 +0000 Jonesy 406104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first look, but maybe with the jacket unhooked/open? I guess it depends on how dressy vs. casual you want to look. The second look (without the blue sweater jacket) looks great too, but it's much more daytime casual to me.</p> <p>PS I have that BR jacket--I guess several of us are familiar with it :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406096 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:06:22 +0000 Kyle 406096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. Without jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406091 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:03:00 +0000 Zoe 406091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look swell. I do so love that first dress. Have you tried it with the sweater from the second outfit? In either case, your smile is what people will notice. Have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406090 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:02:21 +0000 Vani 406090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you are So gorgeous! I love both outfits and I'm with Aida that I prefer both without the toppers. I'm so torn between the two but you do look sensational in orange and the outfit is definitely more approachable and striking if that is what you are going for.</p> <p>On a tangent, I seriously LOVE your backyard!!! I've been working on ours in the new house and you are really inspiring me to stop procrastinating and just plant away Please keep taking pictures here, it is such a treat - second only to you of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406087 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:55:53 +0000 Fruitful 406087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just from the thumbnails. 2 is more eyecatching. Up close it's hard to decide - I'm leaning towards 2; I love the colours! The jersey dress is elegant and beautiful though.</p> <p>I do prefer the dress sans jacket as with the jacket there's a formality that might be uncomfortable. The second outfit is overall more approachable and youthful, which seems appropriate for what you're going for. On the other hand the elegance of the first speaks of a seniority you might want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406086 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:52:37 +0000 Nakidra 406086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in the dress without the jacket.... so, so cute ... I also like the second outfit even though it is a bit more casual. If I can speak honestly, I'm not in love with the jacket over that dress in #1 &amp; 2. The jacket is from BR this summer, right? I don't think it goes with the dress which is so pretty on its own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406081 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:46:19 +0000 Sona 406081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz- I really love both but that's because I echo Lyn that you are simply stunning and would look good in most anything.<br /> That being said given the role you are going to be playing in this and the time of day I favor outfit one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406077 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:44:10 +0000 bran888 406077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you look really fabulous in outfit # 2 Your kitty is adorable!</p> <p>ETA: Have you ever tried outfit 1 with a skinny belt? Just curious about how it would look... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406067 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:35:40 +0000 lyn* 406067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I hug your cat? I really want a kitty SO bad....</p> <p>*gush* I love the second outfit - it's often nice to tie into the festival; your instinct is right!</p> <p>PS: I think you look uber pretty in all the outfits; was really hard to focus on the clothes, because you're so fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406062 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:29:09 +0000 Aida 406062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your assessment is pretty spot on about outfit 1 looking more elegant and 2 looking a bit more casual. Interestingly I prefer both outfits sans toppers; in 1 the jacket feels more casual than the dress (even though I know it's jersey), and in #2 the cardigan is a bit long. My first instinct was that #6 was my favorite out of every photo here; do you have any cropped jackets you could try pairing with it? I think even if you don't have both festival colors, having the orange is still a nice nod </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-pick-my-outfit-pic-heavy#post-406054 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:24:12 +0000 Carole 406054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfits, you make it hard to choose. But I love the first and with the extra benefit of looking equally fab without the jacket. What a fun and exciting event.</p> <p>Cute kitty! </p>
