Can you switch to a different dress that works with the booties?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855702 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:35:43 +0000 Laura G 1855702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without seeing your dress, I'm wondering if there's a purchase you can make that would "rescue" the dress and also work with your wardrobe in general. Another pair of booties/tall boots or a dressy long cardigan or shawl.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855695 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:19:01 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1855695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You&nbsp;need a blanket-y shawl. Is it a sleeveless dress? I'm of the opinion that if people are having a very casual barn wedding (there are some lovely fancy barn weddings) you don't have to obsess about how stylish you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855686 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:07:16 +0000 Christina F. 1855686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would your dress work with tights, a knit shawl and some knee high boots? Hard to tell without a picture of it.</p> <p>You could also try getting some Uniqlo heattech layers (if you live near one), or silk base layers from Amazon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855684 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:05:26 +0000 Anonymous 1855684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You still have time before Friday and once you find shoes for the dress you'll have a nice outfit to wear to a different future occasion!</p> <p>For the wedding, if it's very casual, I'd wear my nicest casual outfit making sure that every item is newish, immaculate, ironed, and that I feel attractive wearing it, including my jacket and accessories. And extra care with hair and makeup.</p> <p>Casual, but shining.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855679 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:58:50 +0000 Barbara Diane 1855679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try taking pictures of your options and think, if someone else was wearing this, would I think it works fine? Sometimes we hold ourselves to higher standards than others.</p> <p>If you can easily put together the type of outset&nbsp;textstyle&nbsp;mentioned, I would do that so you know you have an outfit that works. And then work on seeing if you can make the dress work.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855676 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:54:31 +0000 Barbara Diane 1855676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very first thing, I would confirm that the wedding will be outdoors.</p> <p>Does your dress have sleeves? Can you wear a silk top under it? Or any other layer? How about leggings? Do you have knee high boots you can wear with it? How about a coat? Sweater? Long sweater vest or gillet?&nbsp;<br />Scarf? Poncho?</p> <p>It would definitely help to have a better idea of the style of the dress.</p> <p>Another idea would be to google your type of dress and see how others have styled them. Maybe someone else has added layers for warmth.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855675 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:52:05 +0000 texstyle 1855675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have other shoe options for the dress? If not, the dress is likely "out" right?&nbsp; In that case, what dressy tops do you have that could be worn way with jeans and the booties and some fun jewelry? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855669 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:38:57 +0000 Laura G 1855669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have members on both continents, so 30-40 degrees could be cold or hot, but I assume since you mention a cardigan that it's going to be cold. And you'd rather wear your long dress if possible rather than the jeans and nice shirt that others will be wearing--is that right?</p> <p>Can you describe or post a photo of your dress? We can make better suggestions if we know what we're dealing with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-on-friday-and-my-outfit-fell-through-help#post-1855665 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:06:08 +0000 Lauren 1855665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, everyone! I am at a total loss, I had had an outfit picked out months in advance for my cousins' wedding but I realized there's no way I can wear it. It was a long dress that I was going to wear with booties, but it is supposed to be literally 30-40 degrees Friday (and I'm pretty sure the ceremony is outside) and also the booties look ridiculous with it! The wedding itself is very casual, outdoor/barn style, it's like jeans and nice shirt type of thing. I just don't know what to wear! I already bought the dress, that I can't take back, and really don't want to spend more money on a whole other outfit.&nbsp; If anyone has any recommendations, that would be amazing! I don't know if a cardigan would be appropriate, and I have no clue what to wear under it! Thanks so much in advance! </p>
