I prefer the first outfit by a mile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400275 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:49:27 +0000 Di 400275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are pretty, but as soon as you said that this one isn't as fun, I knew it was the wrong option! Go with the other one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400241 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:19:58 +0000 Angie 400241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just commented on the other thread! I prefer the other outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400240 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:19:20 +0000 Sveta 400240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one of course! It may be more dressed up but hey - this is a theme party, you supposed to dress up, no? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400189 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:56:30 +0000 Isis 400189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS---And could you switch out the top from yesterday's outfit to bring down the dressiness to an afternoon-appropriate level? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400187 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:53:16 +0000 Isis 400187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely yesterday's outfit!!!! It's gorgeous and much more 50's! And where else will you get a chance to wear such a unique skirt? Seize the opportunity!</p> <p>Hem yesterday's skirt up (temporarily) to give it an even more 50's vibe and to bring down the dressiness and you're good to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400182 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:47:19 +0000 Queen Mum 400182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>did yesterday's outfit get nayed? I was just coming back to comment on how fabulous it looked since I didn't get a chance yesterday. I vote that one over this one a million percent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-might-wear-fabulous-fifties-party-2nd-outfit#post-400177 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:37:18 +0000 Suz 400177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So...this is my second possibility, pulled from items already in the closet (except the shoes). </p> <p>The plus is that it is more casual, perhaps better for daytime-into-evening (the party will run from about 4 to 10 or so.) The minus is that it is not as much fun, although perhaps if I can locate some suitable accessories I can remedy that. I DID find a cute 50s hat the other day which I did not buy, and shortie gloves are available. </p> <p>Top is just a simple shell. </p> <p>"Skirt" is actually a pair of gaucho pants (?) or culottes (?) - not sure what to call them. I have had these since 1990, bought second hand. Not from the 50s, for sure, but I have no idea about their actual age. The fabric is silk. They are SO much fun to wear, but I hadn't been able to wear them for about 20 years (due to weight gain) and just pulled them out again now. Again, not authentic, obviously, but perhaps they give the feel of a 50s day dress? </p> <p>I'll welcome your thoughts and ideas about which outfit I should pick, or if I should trot off to the vintage store again for another peek at what might work. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
