I'll keep it in mind- thank you! I love that black Karen Kane dress and it is definitely one of the most comfortable choices up there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-630063 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:20:18 +0000 Angie 630063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such happy frocks :)</p> <p>Personally, I don't mind black for a wedding at all - as long as it's not a morning wedding, and you add in some colour. (See below 2010 wedding outfit in Canada). </p> <p>Kari, I like #3 and #6 best for the other weddings and LOVE the idea of fascinators and long gloves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-630037 Sun, 27 May 2012 15:46:34 +0000 Kari 630037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. Fascinators, long gloves, seamed stockings... I will have to keeps eye out (perhaps scope out Etsy this week!). Thank you all for the suggestions and tips. I'm even more excited now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-630022 Sun, 27 May 2012 14:24:19 +0000 Diana 630022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My picks are 2 or 5 for the June wedding - they look suitably dressy and have a nice summer feel. I love #13 too but it seems more fall to me. For the Hollywood wedding I'd choose 3 or 6, and accessorize with long satin gloves (although not very practical to be sure), pile of pearls (or sparkly tiered statement necklace), maybe a fascinator. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-630014 Sun, 27 May 2012 14:10:40 +0000 velvetychocolate 630014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I just love ALL of your dresses! </p> <p>For the Old Hollywood Glamour - I'd choose #3, 6 or 13. Love the suggestion of a fascinator.<br /> For the semi-formal, I am drawn to #1, #2 (my favourite), #5 and #11 with a metallic or patent (dressier) belt. </p> <p>You look fabulous in dresses Kari. Just stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629995 Sun, 27 May 2012 13:05:12 +0000 Anonymous 629995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like #3 for the old Hollywood wedding. The pearls are awesome with it, you could wear some feathers in your hair, long gloves (get them now while they're in the teeny-bopper stores from prom) and your red bag and pumps would look great with it. </p> <p>You have some absolutely beautiful dresses Kari! I'm not sure which ones I'd chose for the other weddings, you really can't go wrong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629993 Sun, 27 May 2012 13:00:47 +0000 Suz 629993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous dress collection! </p> <p>I would love to see #2 or #1 for the June wedding; they both feel fresh and summery and fun. </p> <p>The red and white dress will look terrific with the red camp for the upcoming event. </p> <p>And for the glamour wedding, I think I vote for #6 with glam accessories. My only hesitation is, as Sveta said, the fabrication and style feel quite a lot like daytime wear; if the wedding is in the evening then maybe the black dress would be a better bet. </p> <p>Enjoy!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629992 Sun, 27 May 2012 12:56:43 +0000 transition 629992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! I'm new at this, but I love everything about the green dress in #13. I think the color and style look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629991 Sun, 27 May 2012 12:53:13 +0000 Nadya 629991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the Old Hollywood look, think about hose with a back seam and a big sparkly brooch or earrings.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629986 Sun, 27 May 2012 12:27:31 +0000 Beth Ann 629986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 4 for the June wedding, Kari, and 6 for the glamour wedding! Amazing dress collection. A nice balance of variety and signature style is represented here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629975 Sun, 27 May 2012 11:01:50 +0000 Anonymous 629975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love # 6 for the Hollywood themed wedding. You could wear a black, small fascinator (I've seen so many beautiful ones in etsy) and the gloves your mom suggested. How fun!<br /> I like #1, #2, #10 and #13 for the late June wedding.<br /> I love your collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629950 Sun, 27 May 2012 09:10:13 +0000 fashionista 629950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my such a nice collection of dresses and shoes. I am kinda jealous..........<br /> For your late June wedding either go for #1, #2 or #5 if its summer.<br /> And for your hollywood themed wedding go for # 3, #6 or #13</p> <p>BTW you look lovely in all your dresses. I loved 13 the most. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629939 Sun, 27 May 2012 07:34:16 +0000 christieanne 629939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #13 is just gorgeous and a bit more dressed up for the June wedding. And 6 was my fave for Hollywood glam as well.<br /> check out <a href="http://www.queensofvintage.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.queensofvintage.com</a> for some styling ideas.<br /> Elbow length gloves would be fantastic. Also, a red lip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629933 Sun, 27 May 2012 07:17:35 +0000 lyn67 629933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nr. 2 is my fave for late June wedding, and Nr 6 for the Hollywood glamour, for sure, teamed up with some elbow length lace (maybe also fingertip-less:-)) gloves and sexy black sheer hose with a back seam, great lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629920 Sun, 27 May 2012 06:29:59 +0000 Deborah 629920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari you could do a search for pictures of actresses like Sophia Loren for some inspiration:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629917 Sun, 27 May 2012 06:20:21 +0000 Kari 629917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic, and thanks for the great advice! I love that red dress in #6 and haven't worn it enough lately. </p> <p>Now I need to think how I could make it look Old Hollywood-ish. Pumps, feather headband? My mom suggested elbow length gloves could be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629916 Sun, 27 May 2012 06:13:35 +0000 Deborah 629916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>9 with the red camisole would look lovely Kari.</p> <p>For the Hollywood wedding I think #6 could be perfect. Just cccessorise in a way that reflects 40's glam:)</p> <p>You have such a lovely dress collection, and really mostbof these would be more than appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629896 Sun, 27 May 2012 04:34:40 +0000 CocoLion 629896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red dress in photo #6 looks very old Hollywood glamor to me!</p> <p>For the other wedding, I love #10 and #12 on you, just gorgeous. These dresses are less formal than #6 but I think you could dress them up with the right accessories and footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629890 Sun, 27 May 2012 04:17:09 +0000 Nadya 629890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm old fashioned, and usually don't like black for weddings, but #3 is one of my faves- I think it would be fun to dress up. My other vote is for 6, but really I think any of them would work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629876 Sun, 27 May 2012 03:26:11 +0000 Kari 629876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Dianthus, I have a skinny pewter belt that works well with the skirt in #11. Thanks for the great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629875 Sun, 27 May 2012 03:25:38 +0000 Kari 629875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you both! It will be a busy summer and should be loads of fun - I love this group.</p> <p>Sveta, #6 is a ponte knit from Ann Taylor. It's a rather high-quality ponte and is in great condition (no pilling at all) after several years. I don't really have dresses in dressy fabrics because they are too fussy and easily destructible - I realized after time that delicate fabrics like silk just do not work well for me because they wear and tear too quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629874 Sun, 27 May 2012 03:22:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 629874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress collection. I can see #11 with a metallic belt and accessories looking quite glam. They all look great on you but I am drawn to 2, 4, 6, and 13 and think all would be appropriate for an afternoon wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629871 Sun, 27 May 2012 03:21:20 +0000 Sveta 629871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a busy summer, Kari! I like dress #13 - it looks like one of the dressiest of the bunch. I also like the red dress # 6 - is fabric dressy enough? Maybe you can use this one for Hollywood glamour with some accessories: it somehow brings 40s to the mind... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629868 Sun, 27 May 2012 03:18:19 +0000 sarah 629868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Kari, I knew you had an amazing collection of dresses, but to see them all lined up next to one another is really something. I am very drawn to #2 for the late June wedding, and #3, 6, or 7 for the Hollywood party. You really can't go wrong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-wedding-guest-capsule-pic-heavy#post-629864 Sun, 27 May 2012 03:14:23 +0000 Kari 629864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the reasons I have stocked up on dresses this year is because I three several weddings to attend as a guest over the summer. All are late afternoon weddings (3-4 PM.) All are with the same group of friends (we were coworkers several years ago) so I'd like to wear a different outfit for each one.</p> <p>The first wedding is tomorrow, and I'm already planning to wear the outfit in #9, but with a red camisole and a turquoise necklace.</p> <p>However, I'd like your help picking out outfits for the other two weddings, which will be in mid and late June. The late June wedding is basic semi-formal attire so I'm thinking something from the group below (except #9, of course) would do.</p> <p>The mid-June wedding is "old Hollywood glamour" theme - "dressing to theme is not required but is encouraged." The bride is wearing a gorgeous fitted satin dress that has a lovely open back, and she's made a short veil from tulle and feathers that looks absolutely incredible.<br /> Now, I do not have a glamorous dress or a maxi dress, and I really don't have the lifestyle to warrant purchasing one (where would I ever have occasion to wear it again? My crowd doesn't do cruises or cocktail parties.) So... out of the group below, what would the best choice be? </p> <p>For those of you who don't live here, summer in my area is typically nice - it doesn't rain often in June, and temperatures are usually between the mid 60's-high 70s. The weddings will be indoors and will involve dancing.</p> <p>Keep in mind, I'm only asking about the dresses themselves - most likely I'd be wearing different accessories (especially being that it is summer) so if you have ideas about specific necklaces/shoes that would look great too, let me know.</p> <p>(Additionally, in late summer there is another wedding, which I am the maid of honor in - it's the wedding of one of my closest friends since high school, so I'm especially excited and flattered to be involved. We'll be wearing <a href="http://www.jasminebridal.com/ugC_Product_Detail.asp?hidP_kind=Bridesmaids&amp;hidP_style=B2&amp;hidj_line_order=1&amp;hidP_Style_ID=B143025">this dress</a> in a solid plum color and at a midi length with black pumps. I'm very grateful to my friend for her flexibility - I offered to grow my hair out if she would like us in updos, but she said that definitely wasn't necessary. Whew! My hair does NOT look good below shoulder length, so I'm quite glad.) </p>
