The classic dress with the pop of color green shoes is perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2396142 Tue, 23 Sep 2025 05:10:35 +0000 Sal 2396142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla!&nbsp; I could see the following shoes in finds potentially working with this dress, the green flat ones are the only ones I am more dubious about.&nbsp; I think the gold could work for sure or the black mary janes, or the yellow mules, for a more casual occasion.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2396031 Sun, 21 Sep 2025 02:25:40 +0000 Carla 2396031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The use of your green shoes was genius! &nbsp;A signiture?! &nbsp;I like the idea of wearing the dress with a bare flat sandal for dinner out with DH. &nbsp;Something like a birthday or an anniversary. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2396012 Sat, 20 Sep 2025 18:06:20 +0000 Sal 2396012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again. I was pleased to find something not too low cut and sleeves add to the versatility too. I can think of a few occasions where I might wear it in the future - I hope so!!</p> <p>I like that clutch Carol and second hand is a good idea as clutches often don’t wear out. I will probably look locally as I am trying to not buy online internationally right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2395926 Fri, 19 Sep 2025 17:23:07 +0000 Carol 2395926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pick of a dress--the sleeves seem to be the thing, along with the slim skirt silhouette I mentioned before. And black, I think a great choice for going as a group. Incidentally, the green shoes fit in with today's blog post on black and green!</p> <p>Will just put this Poshmark link here, because it is a great clutch&nbsp; I have been eyeing, but don't need. I think this would be a great one if you needed a new one. But I assume it might be hard to get to NZ/Australia...</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://poshmark.com/listing/Clutch-Purse-63df28ec4bf9ffc45d4712e3">https://poshmark.com/listing/C.....c45d4712e3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2395924 Fri, 19 Sep 2025 15:43:28 +0000 unfrumped 2395924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fabulous outfit! Great dress choice as it is indeed a” repeatable “ dress , flattering yet comfortable— what a find— and can change up shoes &amp; accessories —some longevity in such items is important since not worn very frequently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2395921 Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:57:19 +0000 Olive Green 2395921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Extremely flattering and very demure, perfect for official presence! Especially, as has been noted, the blazer worn over. That boutique owner is gold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2395917 Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:28:38 +0000 lyn67 2395917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks for giving us the visual candy of such a special event! You looked absolutely smashing, Sal! Accessorizing with the gold necklaces, the green shoes&nbsp; and the metallic clutch were a modern choice and your hair was also fab!!!!

Oh, Sal!! You look SMASHING!! I absolutely love you with the button blazer worn over the dress. Utterly sensual, modern, and chic. You make me want to run out for a black tie dress, just so I can throw an oversized blazer over it lol! Just beautiful. I'm glad you had such a good time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2395831 Wed, 17 Sep 2025 18:01:46 +0000 Sal 2395831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I felt really good in this and it all came together quite easily in the end. I really appreciate the support given and advice over the years because I could execute a plan quickly when the need arose.</p> <p>I am sure there will be other occasions and potentially this could work with flat sandals for a dinner out or similar.</p> <p>It was a super varied crowd. Most men in black tie but some in business suits, some in kilts, and one or two in very casual outfits. The women varied from ball gowns to cocktail to some more creative looks. It was a male dominated event with probably 80% men in the crowd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-2395821 Wed, 17 Sep 2025 15:37:15 +0000 Suz 2395821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Sal -- you look spectacular and yes, as you say -- easy!

That's fabulous news about the award but also -- eek! I gather you have picked your dress now and I can't wait to see what you came up with. I think your shopping strategy made so much sense. Easier to talk it over with someone you trust than to rush from store to store dithering alone!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole#post-2395750 Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:45:59 +0000 Penny 2395750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! We had a black-tie wedding last year, and although I didn’t love having to find a floor-length formal gown at the time (ultimately found a lovely gown on Poshmark), it was great to have it in my closet this year when invited to a 50th wedding anniversary celebration with a white-jacket dress code. I hope your new dress will serve you well for this event and in the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-wardrobe-hole#post-2395679 Sun, 14 Sep 2025 21:19:19 +0000 Sal 2395679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ran out of time yesterday for a styling session but have chosen my shoes and accessories.&nbsp; I will share some photos of the night when I have my hair done etc..&nbsp; All packed up and ready to head off today.</p> <p>Thanks for all your comments and help - it was a whirlwind week! </p>
