Though it is already late for outfit assessements, I hv to add and echo the others: you were extremely well-dressed; appropriate for the event and still fashion forward.</p> <p>(I wish I could rock net legwear as you did!

I'm glad it fit in with the dress code...those things are always tricky to figure out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048766 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 04:13:59 +0000 MsLuna 1048766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048762 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 04:10:01 +0000 Anonymous 1048762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit and I love that jacket! The tights are just the icing on the cake, and add some lovely texture. I'm sure you were 100% appropriate. I often wonder if they state two dress codes so the people coming straight from work won't feel out of place in their attire, while welcoming others to take it up a notch if they want to. Well my dear, you have taken it up several notches and I hope you had a blast. I love that black and cream color scheme. And the clutch (meow)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048755 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:59:10 +0000 MsMary 1048755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!&nbsp; After all my over-thinking, I was confident your outfit would be perfect!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048719 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:12:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1048719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit on you and I'm glad to hear it was perfect for the occasion! Thanks for sharing it with us. I learned a lot from the discussion--it's great to hear MaryK parse out business and dressy variations. One of the many reasons I love YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048707 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:03:22 +0000 Deborah 1048707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, your outfit is stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048704 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 03:02:08 +0000 Mia 1048704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend once gave me some advice which I thought was good. &nbsp;She said to consider the venue and the occasion when choosing an outfit. &nbsp;I think you look smashing in this outfit, totally appropriate for what you describe. Hopefully you will give us the full report of how it all went.</p> <p>Dress codes seem next to useless these days except as a "ballpark". &nbsp;Well of course it is a little different for men... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048700 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 02:59:24 +0000 Vicki 1048700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shevia, and others. Having a great time and I just saw Michael Eisner. After receiving a nice compliment from a woman in the elevator here at Club Nokia at L.A. Live, and being at the event, it was a perfect outfit tonight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048678 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 02:29:29 +0000 Jaime 1048678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't help with the dress code aspect, but I love this and you look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048477 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 22:16:46 +0000 MsMary 1048477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, last comment:&nbsp;&nbsp; I go to an annual brunch at the&nbsp;Bel Air Country Club, for which the dress code is always specified to be "business casual."&nbsp; I always interpret that to mean "business casual for the men, Ladies Who Lunch for the ladies," and I am always right.&nbsp; After giving it way more thought than is necessary or appropriate, I think Vicki's event can probably best be described as "business attire for the men, festive/dressy attire for the ladies." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048476 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 22:14:08 +0000 MsMary 1048476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say Busienss Attire generally involves a jacket:&nbsp; Pantsuit, skirt suit, dress with jacket, pants or skirt with non-matching jacket.&nbsp; But to me, although Business Attire might conceivably include Howard Weitzman black pointy-toe knee-high boots, it would NEVER include said boots with pearl-shine net tights.&nbsp; In fact, in my view, it would never include those tights at all.</p> <p>None of which, I hasten to add, means you don't look super fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048432 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 21:06:19 +0000 Vicki 1048432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Jacket Twin/Quadruplet. I almost thought about wearing pants, but wanted to show some legs for once. Funny, I wasn't thinking "business," but, how to keep my legs warm. </p> <p>On the agenda: Cocktail reception, heavy hors d'oeuvres, award ceremony and dessert reception (full dinner will not be served). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048429 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 21:01:21 +0000 Vicki 1048429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, is Business Attire a suit, either with pants or a skirt, and definitely a fitted jacket?</p> <p>Thanks, everyone, for posting in Realtime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048428 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 21:01:19 +0000 Suz 1048428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket TWIN!! (Well, quadruplet, really). But wow, you look fantastic in this!&nbsp;</p> <p>Still...I do see Mary K's point about boots and tights....On the other hand, nobody said you were the corporette type, did they?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048427 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 21:01:01 +0000 MsMary 1048427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which also brings me to...&nbsp; Is "dressy" the same as "festive?"&nbsp; Or does "dressy" mean "business formal" as opposed to "business casual?"</p> <p>If it's the former, again, I think you're fine.&nbsp; If it's the latter, notsomuch.</p> <p>And as a practical matter, given the ambiguous dress code, I guarantee you won't be wildly out of place.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048425 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:58:54 +0000 MsMary 1048425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, can't edit.</p> <p>But... it's not business.</p> <p>But it's dressy.</p> <p>Why, oh why can't they say something like "Business Formal" or "cocktail attire" so people will have a fighting chance of figuring out what they are supposed to wear??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048424 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:57:43 +0000 MsMary 1048424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on what you're going for.&nbsp; This is a fab "Ladies Who Lunch"/early cocktails&nbsp;look and if that's what you're going for, you have absolutely nailed it.&nbsp; And yes, it's defintely dressy.&nbsp; It is not, however, "business attire."</p> <p>I actually feel fine about it as "dressy."&nbsp; :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048422 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:55:38 +0000 Vicki 1048422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, MaryK; it's just that in secondary emails they added "Dressy Attire" to the "Business Attire" description (keeping both!), so I thought I could push the envelope a bit. :). Specifically, it says Business or Dressy Attire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048417 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:53:12 +0000 MsMary 1048417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, you know I love you, right?&nbsp; But I don't think those black boots and fishnets are businesslike enough for an event with "business" in the title.&nbsp; I'd tone it down just a tad even though you look super fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048416 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:52:38 +0000 Sheila 1048416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Vicki you look stunning! No matter what the venue, you are sure to make an excellent impression. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048415 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:51:47 +0000 Anonymous 1048415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fine and fab. I'd wear that to meet with any of the politicians (a few governors and representatives) my DH and I personally know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suitable-for-business-attire-seeing-las-mayor#post-1048412 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:47:37 +0000 Vicki 1048412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm leaving in 30 minutes to go with my brother to a special event downtown. It called for Business Attire and today it's cold and possibly rainy. We won't be outdoors, but I'm not sure what the venue will "feel" like.</p> <p>I thought I'd go with black and cream and only spice it up with my pearl shine net Commando legwear. </p> <p>I need to eat and then put my lipstick on, which I haven't done yet. As for accessories, it will only be stud earrings and my watch. Hope this looks okay. It is warm and comfortable. ETA: I added the last pic to show I could add a "metallic" plastic necklace this a bit fun. </p> <p>Ann Taylor skirt, Zara sweater, Stuart Weirzman boots, Danier jacket, BCBGMaxazria purse </p>
