On a bluff overlooking a large river. Weather prediction for the area that day is low-mid 50s (~10C), w/ 50% chance of rain.<br /> Per sis, our sister-in-law (MOTG) says that “they will be handing out blankets prior to the ceremony”. Presumably infants and elderly will be prioritized, lol.<br /> Reception is still indoors, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974841 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 15:45:21 +0000 Angie 1974841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH. It's your skin. Hard to make out in the pic :)</p> <p>Wear full footed hose and you're good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974694 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 00:06:29 +0000 ladypainter 1974694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Cardiff girl</b> and <b>Canada</b>! It sounds like I can safely go with #7, and avoid hectic stress-out shopping for the "right" top for this event.<br />Thanks for the input, <b>Angie</b>. White socks, hahaha! No, those are my hairy ankles peeking out from the bottom of the pair of footless tights I grabbed so I could do some quick'n'dirty outfit pairings in my closet. =-0 I plan to wear the black booties seen, but will be picking up a pair of navy control-top *footed* tights. Not sure about "casual". I'm not a member of the wedding party proper, so don't need to worry about that. This is going to be deep in the Ozarks of NW Arkansas, so I would guess that guests will wear almost everything from cocktail dresses to business/Sunday attire. This outfit should be somewhere in the middle to dressier side, I'm reckoning.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974686 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 23:05:24 +0000 Angie 1974686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #7 best too. Not with the white socks...I think that's what I see? Wear dark hose and boots, or pumps.</p> <p>Is it a very casual wedding? If so this casual look is fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974685 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 23:04:07 +0000 Canada 1974685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt with versatile colors.

Beautiful skirt too - and I actually love the color of that turtleneck on you, so I'd lean towards keep - if you have opportunities to wear it. <br /></div><div>For the wedding, I'd go for the<br /> lapis drops&nbsp;</p> <p>- seems more in tune with the rest of the outfit. Enjoy!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974654 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 20:17:30 +0000 ladypainter 1974654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks KikiG! I've enjoyed it a lot in summer with white jeans and gold sandals--so it's a bit of a mental jump to put it in a winter outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974650 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 19:59:59 +0000 KikiG 1974650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite on you is picture 7.&nbsp; I really think that top is great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974648 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 19:51:45 +0000 ladypainter 1974648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Link for the skirt I bought with the alpaca pullover:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.peruvianconnection.com/product/722732-maghreb+pima+cotton+skirt.do?sortby=ourPicks">http://www.peruvianconnection......y=ourPicks</a><br />(can't manage to just control-click download the pic!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-attire-or#post-1974647 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 19:47:21 +0000 ladypainter 1974647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...a glimpse inside my jumbled-drawer buyer's mind:<br />One of the "must" items on my shopping list for this fall was an outfit for my nephew's wedding (Thanksgiving weekend, afternoon ceremony/late afternoon-early evening reception).&nbsp;<br />I already knew I had no clothes that fit or were function-appropriate before I purged my closet, so I knew it was going to be an almost from scratch purchase (except for boots/shoes). I hoped to be able to use the outfit for future social outings, so decided on a midi/maxi skirt to maximize mixing and matching with different tops. The second goal was to do both top and bottom shopping in one shopping trip. Final goal was to get a nice piece with some longevity to its make.<br />Here's the shopping trip, and eventual outfit:<br />#1 and #2: LOVE this skirt! Regret not buying, in fact. Berry top is perfect color, but not flattering shape. Why do I always wear a lace bra with transverse seams to head to the store to buy knits, lol?&nbsp;<br />#3 and #4: Skirt is a very dark navy background. This is actually a very useful piece for Santa Fe, as it is subdued bohemian, and also a useful lighter weight jacquard, so 3-season wear. Turtleneck is too casual for a wedding, but good for lower key events? Also, I wear a lot of turtlenecks, so it could be useful. Outfit would need a belt, about 2" wide. Alpaca pullover: soft as a kitten, light as a feather, and hot as hell. Probably not a good choice for wearing in a crowded church and reception hall, lol. Length and shape are perfect for skirt, IMO, but something about the neckline bugs me.&nbsp;<br />#5 and #6: Color matching details of both tops with skirt.<br />While at the store, I also tried on 2 light-colored sage-gray pullovers didn't really work on me or the skirt.<br />Bought the skirt and the turtleneck. Proceeded to try on things at home. White blouse: By itself, no. With a denim jacket, yes, but not wedding-appropriate. Perfect for Santa Fe social events, however. Old pair of control-top footless tights offered a little smoothing. Finally #7: Chico's slinky knit rayon/acetate blend with bright brass (sorry, "goldtone") stud ornaments. <br />IMO Cons: Too long for the skirt; brass studs too shiny (I'm a silver gal); &nbsp;perhaps too summery; too staid and "age-appropriate". <br />IMO Pros: Perfect color of navy; I won't have to go last-minute stress-shopping for a top; already accessorized; light enough weight to self-moderate temps in a crowded venue; it will *work* for this event and I can keep searching for the ur-top--the top "matched in heaven" for this skirt; I'm an extended family member, so "no one will be looking at YOU, miss."<br />Other planned outfit elements: Ochre-gold pashmina scarf/shawl (ancient, not seen); Ash "Jeff" booties, black nubuck, 10 yrs old (seen in all pix). Either pearl studs or lapis drops, probably. <br />Need to buy: Control-top pantyhose in navy, a powerful minimizer bra with a moderate plunge (a gal can dream!) In other words, a quick trip to Dillards' lingerie department.<br />BTW: Will probably be returning the turtleneck--I do need turtlenecks for daily wear, and it is a good color, but.... Persuade me otherwise?<br />Alpaca pullover: On 24-hr hold at the moment. I do love kitten-soft, feather-light sweaters, and the color is faboo, but have a very sensitive thermostat post-meno, so need to be careful with the layering. Plus, it has a weird neckline.<br />Would love to hear your thoughts! </p>
