VERY you :)</p> <p>GOOD LUCK!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-872523 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 14:55:19 +0000 Diana 872523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you for your help, everyone! In the end, it turns out my jewelry decided the outfit for me. I was waffling between 11 and 14, but J's mom asked me to wear a particular necklace of hers (apparently she wore it at &lt;it&gt;her&lt;/it&gt; engagement party) and I can't wear it with the frilled neckline of the grey top, so I'm going with #14 since it has a plain neckline. </p> <p>Shower is this afternoon, will post final outfit photos later. Wish me luck. =P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-871795 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:42:04 +0000 texstyle 871795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #12 - without reading most of the other comments, just looking at the pics.(I think partly because it has white and it's a bridal shower but also I love the contrast on you with the darker top/skirt and white jacket). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-871627 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:03:20 +0000 Sara L. 871627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all the outfits you added. I'm having problems picking a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-871570 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:01:11 +0000 Diana 871570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I agree that the white jacket might be a touch too long, and I like 11 and 14 best as well. I am leaning slightly towards 14 right now just because it's a lot easier to sit in that skirt! (Although my mom would say that I should always "sit like a lady", in which case the other skirt would be fine!)</p> <p>Bumping for more opinions... shower is tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-870986 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:52:01 +0000 annagybe 870986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-870983 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:47:38 +0000 lyn* 870983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#11 and #14 are my favorites now :)</p> <p>I think I agree with you in that the white jacket may be (unfortunately) a touch long for the outfit. I'm not sure how you feel about it though, maybe scrunch up those sleeves? I like the tights.</p> <p>#14 does look dressier! Love it - although I love the skirt in #11 more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits/page/2#post-870977 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:42:56 +0000 Diana 870977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just took a few more photos of some different combinations and added them to the original post (pictures 11-14). Since everyone seems to want to see #9 with the white jacket, there it is. I also put on dark tights since I think the black booties/bare legs were throwing some people off. </p> <p>#11 is the outfit in #9 (tulip skirt, grey top) with the cropped black blazer from #10 (which has polka dot cuff linings that are fun w/ the polka dots in the skirt).</p> <p>#12 is the much requested #9 + white blazer. You know, when I tried this yesterday, it seemed off somehow but today it's much better. Only thing I can figure is that the dark tights are necessary in this outfit. </p> <p>#13 is the silver skirt/green top combo with the white blazer.</p> <p>#14 is the same as #10 only with dark booties. I think this looks dressier than the original with the light boots.</p> <p>What do you think? Are these better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870411 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:50:30 +0000 Elly 870411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about outifit 8/9 with the white jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870356 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:40:50 +0000 AJ 870356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm having too much fun with your paper dolls!</p> <p>1) How about this black sweater under the white blazer to go with the grey skirt?</p> <p>2) I just thought this combo was FAB. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870340 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:21:56 +0000 AJ 870340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Satin ribbon? : ) I really like that grey skirt-white jacket combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870337 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:17:21 +0000 catgirl 870337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 6 the best, followed by 10. There's something so appealing about that silver skirt to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870336 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:16:54 +0000 Diana 870336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not one that will stay there. I own almost no wide belts, being so short waisted! And tight, elastic belts are really uncomfortable for me (because they always go over my rib cage). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870334 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:13:18 +0000 AJ 870334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, happy that I helped form an Easter possibility. : )</p> <p>Back to my other paper doll with the grey skirt. Do you have a belt to cover the elastic waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870328 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:08:23 +0000 Diana 870328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I love your paper dolls! I hadn't thought to pair the grey jacket with that skirt, but now that you mention it, it matches perfectly! I think any of the grey or green tops will work with it too... I think I've decided not to wear that skirt for the shower but I will keep this in mind for easter! (Am hoping it will be warm enough for bare legs and my yellow sandals by then... probably a pipe dream though.)</p> <p>I feel like i should explain the frilly skirt. I know it's not really my style and has not been for a long time. I've owned this skirt for 20+ years - I think my mom bought it for me when I was around 10 years old. She modified it at some point to fit me as an adult. So I still have it as a sentimental item and only wear it once every couple of years or so, but it makes me happy. =) I'm actually surprised at how well it styled up this time around, and like I mentioned, I might wear it for Easter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870295 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:36:14 +0000 Kalli 870295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having looked at your style profile and past posts. I have to agree with everyone that #6 is the one I like the most. It's artistic and well put together and looks like you would be comfortable with it. I did change my mind now that I have seen you style the frilly skirt, that seems out of place to what you normally wear, it's an orphan. Please do let us know what you end up choosing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870285 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:22:20 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 870285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, 6 and 10 are my favorites too, although I agree with DonnaF that the black booties seem to weigh it all down. To my eyes, the neckline of the top is fighting with the jacket lapels in 8, which is why it wasn't my favorite. </p> <p>Ah, these things are always so tough! You want to be yourself and comfortable, yet want it to feel like a special occasion outfit. You have great options to choose from, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870274 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:07:57 +0000 AJ 870274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait! Another paper doll for your consideration.</p> <p>Do the yellows complement each other in the blazer and skirt? Not sure what top to wear under the jacket. I like these boots too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870272 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:03:50 +0000 modgrl 870272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 6, 8 and 9. The skirt in 1-5 is kind of like a nightgown to me. Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870230 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:24:17 +0000 Diana 870230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you to everyone for their opinions!</p> <p>Hmm, OK, right now it looks like 6, 9, and 10 are winning. So the frilly skirt in 1-5 is out - I think it definitely needs lighter colored footwear anyway, which I don't really have. I think my heeled oxford purchase I've planned for spring needs to be a light color! If I manage to figure out the shoe situation, I might do one of the 1-5 outfits for easter though. </p> <p>Re: #6. I'm kind of surprised that so many people liked this one! I personally thought the proportions were a little off (blouse too long, I think). AJ, I love the idea of the paper doll outfit you posted in theory; however it doesn't work in practice because that particular skirt has an elastic waistband (hello, poison eye!) so I won't tuck into it, and the grey top is too long to not tuck. </p> <p>#9 was my favorite as well, and if it was warmer I'd wear it in a heartbeat. (The guests are fine with bare arms, but the weather unfortunately is not. It's supposed to be in the 30s; obviously it'll be warmer indoors but not THAT warm.) Therefore I must have a topper. Do people really dislike it with the black jacket in 8? I noticed that everyone specifically voted for 9, and not 8.... I will show you guys how it looks with the white jacket, and maybe also with the cropped jacket in 10. Unfortunately my fuchsia blazer (which is the perfect color) is way too long for this.</p> <p>I also really like #10. (It made my top outfits of 2012 list.) To me, the slouchy boots say "going to work" rather than "going to a bridal shower" though... which is why I wanted to change out the footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870227 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:22:34 +0000 kellygirl 870227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that you added a picture. I actually like 10 the best, followed by my original choice. You've got some fun thing to choose from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870223 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:18:35 +0000 Sara L. 870223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4, 7 and 10 with dark boots. Try to find something to wear that feels comfortable and "you" so you can relax and have fun at the shower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870218 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:09:55 +0000 Atlantia 870218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4, just because it looks very light. My favorite is probably #8. Although I do quite like the paperdoll AJ just posted. Is that one a possibility? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870215 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:04:36 +0000 MsMary 870215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #10, with the light boots as is! My runner-up is #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870212 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:59:35 +0000 AJ 870212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about this combo? Is the top a dark grey? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870200 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:51:10 +0000 Suz 870200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 9 or 10, Diana, and I agree with Shannon - in the end you should go with something you feel very comfortable in, since you are already out of your comfort zone. I personally adore that skirt in #9 but agree with earlier comments that the booties seem a bit heavy, somehow - maybe tights would help there, esp. if you are also wearing a topper (so would have covered arms) -- it would balance the whole effect a bit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870193 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:46:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 870193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #10 the best because it looks very much like YOU, it looks comfortable for moving about, the skirt is reminiscent of spring with the pattern, it has some arty edge to it but not too OTT for the older, conservative crowd. Do you feel good in this outfit? I think that's really important. You're already outside your comfort zone in this situation so you want to feel happy and confident in your outfit and have as little "fuss factor" as possible.</p> <p>My second favourite would be #9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870145 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:14:22 +0000 Sona 870145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for 6 and 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-potential-bridal-shower-outfits#post-870142 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:11:45 +0000 Beth Ann 870142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for 8/9, although I would probably prefer a lighter topper, too, as Lyn mentioned. This sounds like one of complicated social situations that are tricky to dress for. Which outfit makes you feel happiest and most like a (relaxed) bride? </p>
