Maybe a fuzzy one or a sheer one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stuck-on-partywear-separates#post-1972846 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 23:49:18 +0000 ChrisM 1972846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the copper skirt, fishnets, the Boden bootie, your black moto over a black sleeveless turtleneck, big copper earrings, and maybe a metallic wide belt? Big cocktail ring and a healthy dose of attitude -rock star cocktail......</p> <p>ETA: I presume the booties are black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stuck-on-partywear-separates#post-1972844 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 23:17:16 +0000 nemosmom 1972844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jenn! I have a couple pairs of pumps I can play with. </p> <p>Cute, Diana! That gives me some ideas. I tried a couple of turtlenecks but they didn’t work with my jewelry. I’ll look through my shells and blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stuck-on-partywear-separates#post-1972834 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 22:28:22 +0000 Diana 1972834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is quite similar to my tomato red trumpet skirt, except for the color. &nbsp;The photo below is how I styled it for a dressy-ish event (an evening banquet). &nbsp;It's a simple black sleeveless shell, silky fitted jacket, and flat pointy booties. &nbsp;Plus a blingy necklace for some sparkle. &nbsp;I'd wear my mid-heeled pointy booties if I wanted to dress it up a little more, and obviously hose (sheer black or nude) if it was cold. &nbsp;Photo #2 is just so you can see the booties - I actually almost always wear boots or booties to formal events in the winter time. &nbsp;I don't see why you can't be comfortable, warm, and still look appropriate in them. &nbsp; You could also wear pumps or dressy pointy flats, of course.</p> <p>You could probably also wear a similar thing with the green skirt, just so long as the shell is fitted enough and not too long. &nbsp;(or you could tuck it). &nbsp;A fitted long-sleeved dark sweater would probably also work. &nbsp;Definitely add some bling if you have it! &nbsp;Metallics or sparkles always help dress things up. &nbsp; </p> <p>Edit: I think a trench coat works with most dressy outfits so long as the colors don't clash. &nbsp;I usually wear one of the two coats (both trench style, the grey wool one is pretty warm) in finds with dressy outfits. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stuck-on-partywear-separates#post-1972826 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 21:48:23 +0000 Jenn 1972826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d pair the green skirt with a sparkly or silk top and dressy shoes that aren’t boots. I’ve always felt a little “off” when I’ve tried to wear even dressy boots to a cocktail-dress event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stuck-on-partywear-separates#post-1972822 Thu, 08 Nov 2018 21:21:59 +0000 nemosmom 1972822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As part of the "Shop Your Closet" challenge, I am digging in my closet to&nbsp; put together an outfit for an upcoming afternoon winter wedding and evening reception. The invitation says "cocktail optional" - is that referring to my outfit, or letting us know it's a cash bar? Anyway...</p> <p>I have a couple of fancier skirts. I usually dress them WAY down with a fashion or dad sneaker, moto or military jacket and a tshirt. I am not sure what to put with them that would be appropriate for this event. One hurdle is my coat - I have a burgundy wool knee length coat, a thin black leather trench, or an olive parka. I'm not sure any of them really go with these. </p> <p>Could you tell me how YOU might style them so maybe I can find something in my collection that will work?</p> <p>#1 is a copper taffeta midi skirt. Has a lot of metallic shimmer to it that is hard to see in the photo. I thought of putting this with a dark olive bodycon turtleneck or a velvet black turtleneck and a black suede OTK boot (#2), but it feels off somehow.</p> <p>#3 is a deep green Zara midi skirt. The skirt has a heavy feel like a taffeta and a sheen to it, but not as shiny as the copper one. I have a navy boatneck sweater with metallic thread and I thought to put it with my Boden ankle bootie (#4), but I noticed today that the metallic threads in my navy sweater are an aqua color, so I don't think that will work. </p> <p>Are there other colors or styles of tops I should be looking for that might work?</p>
