You can SORT of see that from the photo, once someone tells you that it is that way, that is! I would really love that little feature. </p> <p>Yes, you are right....it would be so simple to try except for duty which is through the roof. I just put an Nordstrom's order in and was in shock at the extra I had to pay. Hmmm. More thinking. Do you know anything about TT sizing? Is it true to size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786934 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 17:07:02 +0000 MsMary 786934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheer perfection from head to peep-toe!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786928 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 17:03:11 +0000 Parsley 786928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, it looked to me like the front buttons were sort of on the diagonal. (although I could be crazy and imagining things!). The quality looked excellent to me.<br /> If only you had free shipping and returns to Canada it would be a no-brainer to try it!<br /> As it is, I know it's a gamble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786916 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:49:02 +0000 Suz 786916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay....now you have got me really curious....asymmetrical closure?? That gets my heartrate going! Did you really like the quality? I am SO tempted.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786894 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:16:06 +0000 pil 786894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786881 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:03:28 +0000 Angie 786881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sophisticated modern classic chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786763 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 13:30:14 +0000 Parsley 786763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, for your comments!</p> <p>A special wave to AJ- it's always good to see you here- we miss you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786698 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 07:57:26 +0000 CocoLion 786698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the way the earrings, jacket and v neck of the dress play together. As others have said this is a great look. My only thought is that you could get away with more wrist and forearm festivity, if you choose to do so. Especially since the clutch is black. </p> <p>(And I see no issue with the stockings and peep toes.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786678 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:28:43 +0000 AJ 786678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to delurk to say that this is a stunningly beautiful example of color, pattern, texture, and shine! Enjoy your party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786677 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:26:49 +0000 Ingunn 786677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous! What a beautiful jacket, it makes you shine! The shoe and hose combo is just fine to my eye, I personally don't mind that at all. The fishnets are very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786673 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:20:25 +0000 Amy 786673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is perfect head to toe. I like seeing the textured hose with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786602 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 04:35:08 +0000 catgirl 786602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad SOMEONE got that Truth &amp; Pride jacket - it is 100% fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786588 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 04:21:56 +0000 goldenpig 786588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG you look stunning. You will turn heads at the party for sure! So sexy without being suggestive. Love that color on you and the hose is perfect. </p> <p>I could totally see Suz in this jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786525 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 03:01:46 +0000 Parsley 786525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, ladies!<br /> I'm glad that the outfit meets approval.</p> <p>Suz, The Trina Turk one seemed to be a true fuchsia, and the closure was unique- kind of asymmetrical, which is not obvious in the picture. Oh, I wish, too, that you could easily try it on, because I thought it would be great on you, but who knows until you try it.</p> <p>40% off does help! (not to enable.....much! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786512 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 02:32:02 +0000 Suz 786512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still thinking about the Trina Trunk, but not feeling desperation about it. The H&amp;M one will certainly last me this year, and maybe that is good enough? I did see that the Trina Trunk one is on sale. I am also not sure if it is the right shade of fuchsia for me; it looks maybe more toward the pink end? I SO wish I lived near a Nordies.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786509 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 02:29:30 +0000 Deborah 786509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breath taking! I couldn't change a thing. Parsley you look just stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786471 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 01:44:38 +0000 annagybe 786471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost bought that jacket, but it didn't quite fit me right. You look great! I have no objection to hose and peep toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786468 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 01:38:56 +0000 Makrame 786468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! You have the best jacket collection, and I really like the fishnets with these shoes, even though this is a not-so-standard combination. I think it is also fun to wear fuchsia, rather than red, for a holiday party - still festive but not as predictable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786465 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 01:33:22 +0000 Jaime 786465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have nailed it. Just enough but not too much. Great color on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786445 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:24:06 +0000 Parsley 786445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, JR and Suz!</p> <p>Suz, I saw that you were considering this jacket. I got mine last summer, I think, and yes, it is BRIGHT, so I only wear it when I'm feeling bold!<br /> It also is not an everyday jacket, since it's lightweight and silk, but I do like it for a pop of color over black or white.<br /> I wanted to tell you, I did see the Trina Turk fuchsia jacket at Nordies, and it is SO pretty! Are you still thinking about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786438 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:08:31 +0000 Suz 786438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - you got that Truth and Pride jacket!!! I was looking at it, too, but decided it was too vivid a pink for me. </p> <p>For you, however, it is SUBLIME! You look gorgeous, sophisticated, and so festive! </p> <p>Re the microfishnets....depends on your own personal comfort level, I suspect. From a distance they really do read like sheer black hose. </p> <p>Ditto for the peep toe. I think it is okay (and usually I am a nay-sayer on this) but it would depend on the quality of the hose to some degree. Some are..you know...better made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786411 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:26:54 +0000 JR 786411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frankly lovely. You have a very strong, but cheerful look here. The proportions on you are also very good.</p> <p>I think the hose and the shoes go just fine together.</p> <p>I plan on wearing fuchsia over black this year too. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-late-to-the-fuchsia-party-wi-might-w-to-work-holiday-dinner#post-786409 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:22:46 +0000 Parsley 786409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wanted to participate in Fuchsia Friday, but I have been just swamped at work, so today was my first chance to play. Sorry!</p> <p>I have a work-related holiday party coming up; it's cocktails and dinner at a nice restaurant, then an after-party at a martini bar. I want to look festive, but not too, too dressy. How does this work?</p> <p>LBD- Ann Taylor<br /> Bright pink silk jacket- Truth &amp; Pride, from Nordstrom<br /> Black microfishnets<br /> Peep-toe black patent heels- Cole Haan<br /> Snakeskin clutch</p> <p>Questions:<br /> Are the micro-fishnets OK with this, or should I go with sheer black?<br /> Is it OK to wear hose with the peep-toe pumps? I really need to wear hose for coverage and for warmth, but these are my most comfortable black heels for standing at a cocktail party.</p> <p>Frank comments and suggestions requested! </p>
