Oh dear, I hope I haven't set my own style bar too high for the next wedding. Decisions... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-648189 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 22:06:05 +0000 Vicki 648189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you've got one dynamic summer going! Combining your black beads with Angie's brooch and feathers created just the right Hollywood vibe to your dress. You definitely deserved that red carpet treatment! Now, I'm waiting for the next wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-648175 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:44:00 +0000 Jem 648175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous and the wedding sounds amazing, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-648173 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:41:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this outfit really inspiring Kari - and I like that you just mentioned revisiting this combination. You've given me some ideas that one or two of my less formal dresses could be transformed if need be. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-648169 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:39:25 +0000 Kari 648169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I think it's just the age of my friends (late 20's/early 30s) but they are tending to wed in spurts - last year we only had one wedding to go to, but other years we've had 4-5 within a short span of time. I couldn't believe that this same group of friends all were having weddings in the same month and a half! I missed the memo, I guess. *grin* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-648166 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:37:39 +0000 annagybe 648166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! I haven't been to a wedding in years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-648162 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 21:32:53 +0000 Kari 648162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - it was something to do with Vivien Leigh's large hand size and voluminous collection of gloves. I did get some of the Lauren Bacall questions right, though, which I was proud of myself for!</p> <p>Angie, I am duplicating those hose for sure. SO comfortable and the two-toned colors are quite fun! I got a kick every time I looked down at my legs/feet. Commando makes fantastic hose.</p> <p>Suz, you are so sweet and that really means a lot, particularly coming from a skilled writer such as yourself. (I used to write more often - nonfiction for myself - but have lacked inspiration/drive in the last few years. I keep meaning to try again with some of my friends who are into creative writing. Maybe for NaNoWriMo this year...)</p> <p>I am so psyched that this dress was transformed into a more formal piece - it's definitely a combination I'd revisit in the future. Thank you all for the ideas to try it in the first place, and for the encouragement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647913 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 14:55:40 +0000 velvetychocolate 647913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed reading this Kari - like Suz said, I felt like I was there too! How fun :)</p> <p>And you look smashing in that dress. I love how you managed to totally glam up that dress to work beautifully for this themed wedding. It's incredible that this dress can be so dressed up with the right necklaces, accessories, hose, and glammed-up makeup. WOW. Just love this on you, and now you have a dress that manages to be both semi-casual and formal. Pretty neat, if you ask me!</p> <p>I've always loved this dress on you, and it's great to see you wearing it again. I'm especially impressed that you were able to pull something out of your closet for an occasion like this and make it as glamourous as this. Woo hoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647902 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 14:44:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 647902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved reading the details of this wedding Kari - sounds like such a wonderful event. You look completely SMASHING in your outfit! The way you've glammed up your dress by adding a few carefully chosen accessories is nothing short of brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647882 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 14:19:10 +0000 Angie 647882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER look! </p> <p>What a great wedding theme!

Every time I hear about a wedding I want a do-over, not because mine wasn't great but because people just keep having ideas that I like!<br /> Nice work with the colours and jewellery.

Some clever styling my dear! That dress is always a stunner but the Jewellery, added color and the subtle makeup really created the look youbwere going for. And I can't believe the difference a the black ribbon belt makes is really sup rising. You look beautiful:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647791 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 08:35:59 +0000 ManidipaM 647791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome, awesome accessorizarion, Kari.

Fun wedding and very memorable. I love a special touch to a wedding that captures the spirit of the couple. </p> <p>That dress is a knockout glammed up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647746 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 06:03:34 +0000 Kari 647746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*blush*.

That emerald dress is simply stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647739 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 05:37:53 +0000 Kari 647739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Rae. My crowd doesn't do theme parties (except Halloween) often so it was a true treat to have an excuse to glam up along with everyone else! It really was a blast.</p> <p>Shoot, CocoLion, I'm afraid I can't remember! I'd be surprised if Barbara Stanwyck wasn't present, though.</p> <p>I was totally shocked at how well this dress worked, too. I really thought of it as being more informal until I was asking for suggestions about wedding guest attire, and several folks mentioned this as being one of the more formal choices. That got me thinking about how I could dress it up. Amazing - I've worn it plenty to work, but never thought of it as a wedding-wear piece at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-old-hollywood-wedding#post-647738 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 05:35:22 +0000 CocoLion 647738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing all of the details of this beautiful wedding. I love old Hollywood movies from the 40s and 50s -- especially the film noir genre. I admit to having watched "Double Indemnity" at least 50 times. (Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck directed by Billy Wilder.) Was there a Barbara Stanwyck table?</p> <p>As for your dress, you look amazing! I remember seeing all of your choices, and this one fits you so well, is so flattering, plus the color so perfect! </p>
