You could wear the same&nbsp;sparkly&nbsp;top and topper with a skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755369 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 13:58:45 +0000 Chris987 1755369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all the replies. Very helpful! </p> <p>I agree that the jeans outfits are not festive at all, very casual only. I didn't even wear my "dressiest" jeans for these pics :-)&nbsp; .</p> <p>The white topper started to look a little dirty around the edges just from one try on, and shortening it would take some work, so it's going back, that's way too impractical for me. I do like the idea of an all-white or white and gold outfit but maybe it's not going to happen this year. </p> <p>Lyn67 thanks, great advice.</p> <p>CynthiaWalkersmith, thanks, and yes I used to love Dana Buchman too before Kohl's bought the brand and lowered the quality. More sparkle is a good idea. </p> <p>Kiwigal/Sally I agree with you about the white jacket. It's a Vince, which is a brand I want to love, but they are ALWAYS too long on me (they don't carry petites) and I need to learn to just walk away. BBQ sounds like a fun way to celebrate the holidays! </p> <p>Thanks so much for the kind words El Cee, Mirjana, Aquamarine, Delurked, Ledonna, Suz, smittie, sara L, Elie, and Bonnie</p> <p>Nadya,&nbsp;I can relate, I'm a bit of a klutz myself, and as I said earlier this jacket aired looked a little dirty around the edges just from one try on! </p> <p>Celia I think I agree about the ones that don't look "festive". I always seem to struggle a bit to do "festive". </p> <p>Rachylou, yes that white jacket is kapow, but for various reasons listed above it's just not going to work. </p> <p>Kerlyn great ideas, I do have some silver sparkly chandelier earrings...</p> <p>Angie thanks, and yes pearls would be a great addition. I don't own a party frock except a black sparkly cocktail dress which would be a bit too much for these events, nor do I own a flirty skirt of any description. Hmm...I still have time to do a little shopping before the parties hit..</p> <p>Avemariah that jacket is very lightweight and is a bit snug, so I can't layer much under it but that's works find for indoors.&nbsp;I'll have to try it with a skirt, good idea, but for the moment all I have are plain pencil skirts in black and grey. I will definitely try it and also bring it along if I decide to do a little more shopping. </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755304 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 06:49:14 +0000 Bonnie 1755304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think # 8 sounds like it would make a great outfit for a party. Love the new Anthro top and the jacket looks just right for a house party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755293 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 05:52:30 +0000 Elle 1755293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both #6 and 7. &nbsp;That jacket is very flattering and works well with casual and &nbsp;dressy pants. &nbsp;Maybe add a bit of sparkle (earrings, necklace, purse) to up the holiday feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755290 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 05:32:33 +0000 AviaMariah 1755290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look AMAZING in #7! &nbsp;That style is so flattering on you! &nbsp;If the weight of the jacket works for inside I'd go with that one all the way. &nbsp;How does the jacket look with a skirt or dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755234 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 01:39:49 +0000 Sara L. 1755234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2,5,6. I think they just need some bling to be party ready. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755230 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 01:34:34 +0000 Anonymous 1755230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an outlier: I really like 5...The shape of that black drape sweater is great on you. I think I would switch to black footwear.</p> <p>Also love your open waxed linen jacket in 6. I like the funky rectangle shape at the front. It's a bit of a statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755224 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 00:50:59 +0000 Suz 1755224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new top is gorgeous. Really a great find. I really like it in 2/ 3.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #7 is stunning on you. Love Angie's recommendation to lighten it up with pearls.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755218 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 00:23:53 +0000 Ledonna N. 1755218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3,5&amp;7.

For that occasion I will avoid #4, I like #1 better say #2 and #5 and #7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755137 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:54:22 +0000 celia 1755137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 3 and 7, 1 2 5 are also cute ,4 and 6 don't really say festive to me although they are nice outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755136 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:52:33 +0000 Nadya 1755136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Dana Buchman coat on you! I like it both open and closed (6 and 7) and bet it looks great with the Anthro top, too. </p> <p>I, personally, wouldn't want to wear a long-sleeved cream sweater to a buffet, but then, I'm a klutz.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755133 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:46:09 +0000 El Cee 1755133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have covered a lot of bases here Chris... everything from casual to dressy. I particularly like #1, #2 and #7. You have some fabulous options.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755128 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:39:42 +0000 Sal 1755128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is great!!</p> <p>I really like 2 5 7. &nbsp;I think with a good red/rose/plum lipstick, some sparkle at the wrist on in the ears you will be good to go!! &nbsp;I think they are very appropriate and lovely looks.</p> <p>I would probably wear black footwear with 5, but I have a tendency to be a little matchy matchy sometimes.</p> <p>I think 4 has potential but maybe needs a tweak...either lighter trousers or shoes I think might help, or a heel if you wear them. &nbsp;The length of the jacket is a little overwhelming as is, but I love the colour on you and it is a lovely jacket.</p> <p>Our holiday parties are all casual this year - boo hoo!! &nbsp;We have a BBQ here on our back deck, a BBQ at friends, and a family lunch or two. &nbsp;I have no occasions to wear my party frocks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755115 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:14:14 +0000 cindysmith 1755115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only look I'm not a fan of is #4, and that's not to say it isn't a nice outfit. I just think that for a holiday party, it needs a little more color or sparkle or something. I am positively drooling over that Dana Buchman jacket (of course, I just love to look at her stuff anyway, generally so rich looking). I also agree with Lyn that the pants are more formal or festive or something, but that doesn't mean the jeans aren't ok for more casual events. I think you have the foundational pieces here to absolutely slay at holiday parties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755113 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 19:07:49 +0000 lyn67 1755113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Anthro top to start with, great graphic on front, and will layer good under all the&nbsp;toppers you shown here-such a&nbsp;great find! Then I love all the toppers, too-including the&nbsp;both lengths&nbsp;of the cream&nbsp;Vince blazer, but&nbsp;would advise to stay with real pants-even for the most casual&nbsp;get-togethers. That been said, think the&nbsp; cream and the black toppers are suitable for your dressier events, the others+/-jeans for the casual ones, and it's all fab-&nbsp;(hope this helped a bit).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-possible-holiday-outfits-would-love-your-feedback#post-1755109 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 18:49:38 +0000 Chris987 1755109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two holiday parties to attend that are open houses&nbsp;with buffet meals. One will be a bit dressed up and the other is kind of an<br /> interesting mix of guests in casual wear&nbsp;but the three generations of hosts&nbsp;wearing jackets/ties and old-fashioned velvet dresses. I may have a few other&nbsp;casual get-togethers also.</p> <p>I decided to try&nbsp;a few outfits, but I'm honestly not feeling all that &nbsp;enthused about any of&nbsp;them right now. Hair and makeup “au natural” meaning I&nbsp;did nothing. For&nbsp;some reason these pics make me look heavier than I feel,&nbsp;which is not typically how I feel about selfies. </p> <p><i><b>Would love to hear your comments and suggestions &nbsp;</b></i></p> <p>Only&nbsp;a few of these items are new, the rest are already&nbsp;in my closet. </p> <ol> <li> <p>This is the top from Anthro&nbsp;that started it all….it has a bit of gold sparkle to it that’s not easy to see. Also pleated overall.</p> </li> <li> <p>Red N &amp; Z wrap&nbsp;sweater, Anthro Top, Black slim pants, black booties</p> </li> <li> <p>Cream Vince cardigan&nbsp;(front is woven, back is knit), Anthro Top, Black leggings.&nbsp;Not sure I like&nbsp;leggings on me, just wanted to try&nbsp;them. The Anthro top seems rather hidden in this&nbsp;look</p> </li> <li> <p>Vince &nbsp;cardigan pinned up as if to shorten 2”, white tie sleeveless<br /> blouse, black slim pants</p> </li> <li> <p>Black drape front&nbsp;sweater/jacket, Anthro top, RL straight leg jeans</p> </li> <li> <p>A Dana Buchman gunmetal&nbsp;jacket I’ve had for years, it’s coated linen with a bit of a sheen but looks&nbsp;almost like leather, with burgundy top and jean</p> </li> <li> <p>Same Dana Buchman jacket it’s&nbsp;original form which included a sash, with bootcut ponte pants and black pumps. This look seems rather severe and formal to me, and maybe not really modern.</p> </li> <li> <p>The Dana Buchman jacket works with the Anthro top too, worn open as in #6, &nbsp;with black pants. No pic. </p> </li> </ol>
