I'd wear #3 for the brunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spontaneous-challenge-for-any-ylfer#post-1264998 Fri, 30 May 2014 17:10:05 +0000 Diana 1264998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!&nbsp; And a recent brunch outfit.&nbsp; This is the same dress as the first "symphony" outfit above, but lightened up for spring.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shiny-shoes-for-sunday-brunch" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....day-brunch</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spontaneous-challenge-for-any-ylfer#post-1264997 Fri, 30 May 2014 17:07:02 +0000 Diana 1264997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so I found the two outfits in a single post of mine!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-symphony-easter-and-work" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-and-work</a></p> <p>First outfit - the symphony one - for the play, second outfit - the white top with printed full skirt - for brunch.&nbsp; Since it's not so early in the season for you, I'd change the tights to bare legs and maybe go for some lighter footwear as well.</p> <p>ETA: Another option for the theater.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-booties-and-bare-legs" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-bare-legs</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spontaneous-challenge-for-any-ylfer#post-1264976 Fri, 30 May 2014 16:39:30 +0000 Anonymous 1264976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun challenge. Here are some I have previously posted:<br /> 1-3 for the theatre<br /> 4-6 for brunch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spontaneous-challenge-for-any-ylfer#post-1264932 Fri, 30 May 2014 16:00:45 +0000 Suz 1264932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're on!&nbsp;</p> <p>And guess what? I have <b>ACTUAL</b> outfits worn for almost exactly the same situations a year ago!!&nbsp;</p> <p>First, the theatre. I actually wore this twice, once to the theatre in Stratford, Ontario, and then later to a rainy night off-Broadway show early last July (though I think I had different footwear and a colourful cuff bracelet&nbsp;that time, plus an umbrella). The kimono jacket and peplum top were nods to last year's trends. The peplum is actually a knit, so it is soft and comfortable to sit in, not stiff.&nbsp;</p> <p>Overall, my goal was to be comfortable sitting, standing, and walking fast; to be warm enough in cool air conditioning, but not too warm out in NY's humid air, and to look current and "with it."&nbsp;</p> <p>I wore the cotton dress outfit in June to my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party. It was held in a house, not a seniors' residence, but the event called for a not-too-dressy yet "dressed up" look, one that would be pleasing to a group of conservative older folks. My thought here was that they would appreciate the classic cut and the pretty colours. I was right. &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>I wouldn't wear the first outfit exactly as shown this year -- I'd want to make it more 2014 somehow, probably with a more fluid fit top of some kind, maybe with a different topper. But the tube skirt is a fab invention that can take you from the pub to the theatre without a hitch.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: My main warm weather "strategy" last summer was colour blocking. It was a really easy way to give an outfit cohesion, especially when I couldn't add a topper (which often does that job to an extent).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spontaneous-challenge-for-any-ylfer#post-1264904 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:18:11 +0000 April 1264904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely apart from the ongoing Challenge Chain, I'm offering a no-work challenge for anyone who has past outfit photos at the ready. &nbsp;(If you want to take new photos, that's above and beyond -- just trying to keep it simple.)</p> <p>I'm leaving soon for&nbsp;New York. &nbsp;I do this every other weekend and don't usually pack, but this time I have to dress for two things:</p> <p>1. &nbsp;We're going to a play on Saturday night (intimate, off-Broadway theatre; not opening night).</p> <p>2. &nbsp;We're joining my father-in-law for Sunday brunch at a senior living place that he's testing out this weekend. &nbsp;Although I think the brunch doesn't have a dress code, this dining room usually requires men to wear a jacket (to give you an idea of the formality level.)</p> <p>If you have a photo of an outfit that you would choose for either of these events, I'd love to be inspired by it! </p>
