I love the suggestions so far, and envy your exciting social life :)! Rock the black tie, Polly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-603021 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:56:07 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 603021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the latest encouraging comments - made my day!</p> <p>Had to post to answer Jeneva's really thoughtful comments.</p> <p>You're right about the shoes. I can't improve that from what I have but have added 'high party shoes' to my 'need to get' list.</p> <p>You're also righ about the tights - I really want some more sheer ones with the same type of pattern. It was all I could find but I've just thought of a couple of places I will try tomorrow for that. Just needed the push and appreciate that!</p> <p>Agree looking again about the hair clip - thanks for pointing that it fights a bit with the necklace.</p> <p>Have double checked and the wrap does go with the red clutch.</p> <p>Really value your detailed contribution - wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602575 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 04:43:26 +0000 fashionista 602575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit and combo of # 3 the most. Second option is # 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602572 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 04:40:33 +0000 Jenava 602572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first necklace and no shawl. I prefer the red clutch. I think you need fancier shoes, though. Patent leather, for instance, or metallic. And I think you need hose that are more sheer.</p> <p>I rather like the feathered headband, but I think it competes with the necklace.</p> <p>ETA, just read the replies...the shawl IS very beautiful...does it clash with the red clutch or match it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602490 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:17:03 +0000 Aida 602490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say that #2 and #3 are both lovely, and your inherited wrap is just gorgeous. Have a great time on Friday, you will look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602260 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:40:06 +0000 Inge 602260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polly!! Are you on a roll or what!! Such gorgeous outfits! (I love 2 best for this event).<br /> Have a wonderful time at the party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602254 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:35:55 +0000 Meredith1953 602254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is a lovely shape and style on you. I usually don't love wraps but that one is sheer and very pretty. I love the red clutch with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602249 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:32:22 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 602249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all wonderful! I'm guiltily aware of how little I am posting at the moment so I am doubly grateful to you all for responding.</p> <p>It's always so helpful as it makes me look at things differently, just by posting and then by the replies. I love the fact that people see different things - it helps me understand more about outfits I've put together.</p> <p>I couldn't post a close up of the necklaces (and know you can't see very well, sorry) but for practical reasons had decided against the one in 3 anyway (it kept going lopsided, and that was just in the minute or so we were taking the photos).</p> <p>Beth Ann you really made me laugh! It probably will only be WTW to get the groceries from now on!</p> <p>Ljubica lovely to 'see' you again! Thanks for the lovely compliments and also to AJ for that!</p> <p>#2 is the winner! (Anne I know exactly what you mean about 'thinking that before reading Angie's!)</p> <p>So excited about this. The wrap was inherited from my grandmother and I never thought that I'd ever be able to make it work. I love that it gives a nod to the big floral/vintage trends around at the moment. Glad you like the red clutch.</p> <p>Thanks again to you for the lovely replies. Angie, your 'K' means so much to me. I can now just look forward to Friday night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602122 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:51:10 +0000 Scarlet 602122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 or 2.

Choose #3, and show off your beautiful figure and killer smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602098 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:20:26 +0000 AJ 602098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always enjoy the times that you pop in, Polly! #2 is gorgeous with the colorful clutch and sheer wrap. I hope you don't mind my saying that you are looking sleek and toned! Kudos on the workouts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602066 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:37:22 +0000 Jilly 602066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3, also; very flattering lbd, and you're young enough that u don't need to wear a shawl unless you're cold:) Love the pop of color with the red purse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-602048 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:24:30 +0000 christieanne 602048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 (red clutch) either with or without the shawl. Have a fun time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601970 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:52:26 +0000 anne 601970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best too (and I thought that before I read what Angie said)<br /> Lovely outfit Polly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601950 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:33:36 +0000 Kirti 601950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both #2 and #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601943 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:17:30 +0000 rute 601943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3! A bit more modern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601928 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:30:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 601928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore #2 - the red clutch is the perfect accessory for the classy and chic outfit! Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601922 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:18:03 +0000 Deborah 601922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! I like 2 the best here. Well done on repurposing your sheath dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601916 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:08:07 +0000 Angie 601916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunningly killer, Polly! I I LOVE #2. That outfit is a 10 to my eye. The sheerness and the embellishment of the wrap take the frock to a whole new level. </p> <p>Enjoy Friday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601913 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:03:36 +0000 Beth Ann 601913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First the Queen, now black tie! OK, now you have to post a "WIW to buy groceries!"</p> <p>Seriously, this is a perfect LBD. My favorite is #2, but they'll all work very well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601903 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:32:22 +0000 Suz 601903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress, and what fun! </p> <p>I think it looks lovely in all these combinations. I actually prefer the dress without the shawl, but the shawl is lovely and for me, that would depend on temperature; if you need it, bring it! I like it with the pop of red. And at the moment, working on my laptop - it's tough to tell on my small monitor how the necklaces differ, so I will leave that to those who have a bigger screen! </p> <p>Have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-cocktail-dress#post-601897 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:19:42 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 601897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to a black tie party on Friday, but black tie where I am means cocktail dresses rather than red carpet glamour.</p> <p>I am trying to glam up a trusty black sheath dress. Does it work? Which accessories are best?<br /> Basic outfit is:<br /> Black sheath dress<br /> Patterned hose<br /> Black kitten heel shoes (don't have anything suitable that's higher)</p> <p>Variables are:<br /> Twisted mini bead necklace (1,2) or twisted diamanté necklace (3)<br /> Snakeskin or red clutch<br /> Vintage hand painted stole/shawl or nothing<br /> Feather and beaded hair clip (3) or not</p> <p>Any thoughts?<br /> Thanks so much for any input. </p>
