Number 4 stood out for me. Streamlined, modern, and the pop of color from the jacket is celebratory for such a milestone. Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662642 Tue, 17 May 2016 11:48:58 +0000 Anonymous 1662642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 4 and 6 from me! I love the culottes on you. Maybe you can pull on a pair of knee-length socks for the drive up? It should be warm enough for open toes by the time you arrive. Or reintroduce the quaint old custom of a driving blanket. </p> <p>Safe travels and congrats to your daughter. I remember last year's all-school at Madison Square garden--can't believe they've expanded to Yankee Stadium. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662638 Tue, 17 May 2016 11:28:34 +0000 Anonymous 1662638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Gail beautiful outfits I like the picture 1 and 6 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662569 Tue, 17 May 2016 07:48:23 +0000 Ledonna N. 1662569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing. I wish you could do fit changes because I love them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662544 Tue, 17 May 2016 06:15:33 +0000 Jane 1662544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit 4 for me! Great colours and modern cuts. I'd do as Lisap suggests and change. </p> <p>May be if you wore a skirt to travel in you could fit the culottes under </p> <p>Well done to your daughter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662491 Tue, 17 May 2016 02:26:20 +0000 unfrumped 1662491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great lineup!<br /> I think Angie's got you sorted- the short, bright jacket has great proportions for the culottes. You look modern and lively in it. Other choices work too if somehow #4 is not comfy despite looking good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662478 Tue, 17 May 2016 01:57:52 +0000 Vix 1662478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Gail --</p> <p>Agree these don't look thrown together at all! </p> <p>My advice given the event/season/likelihood of photos, worth price paid:</p> <p>You can't really go wrong, but I'd go with either the orange or patterned jacket. You light up in those colors and they photograph so well.</p> <p>Congrats to your daughter!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662472 Tue, 17 May 2016 01:52:01 +0000 Gail 1662472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know if my in laws would appreciate me changing in the back perhaps I can pack them blindfolds lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662461 Tue, 17 May 2016 01:40:23 +0000 Anonymous 1662461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4 and 6 too- and vote for driving in comfy sweats and changing into the pants in the relative privacy of the backseat of that giant Suburban;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662457 Tue, 17 May 2016 01:34:14 +0000 Anonymous 1662457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfits 4-8 are all fantastic. The culottes are just the ticket.<br /> Definitely watch the weather though. I think it might be warmer than you think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662454 Tue, 17 May 2016 01:31:10 +0000 minimalist 1662454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4, though really whatever's most comfortable. (Parking prices in the city are anything but comfortable, so the rest of the experience might as well be!) I'd reverse the tote to black, even though that makes for a lot of black.</p> <p>More than anything, I noticed a resemblance to Hope Davis. Do you hear that a lot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662336 Mon, 16 May 2016 22:32:05 +0000 JAileen 1662336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gail, good for your daughter! We need more social workers. I'm a CASA and the social worker on my case is pretty overworked. Graduation is where the Rockettes show is? At least it's inside! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662316 Mon, 16 May 2016 21:47:46 +0000 Gail 1662316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone. I'm still watching the weather:(&nbsp;<br />Probably going to go with 4 or 5. I need to take either a tote or my Henri Bendel bag as I want to take an umbrella . The tote I have , see below,Is reversible to black , should I leave it as is or use it black?&nbsp;<br />This is the link to the other bag, I don't have to use it as a back pack.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.henribendel.com/jetsetter-convertible-backpack-26485213450193.html?cgid=shop_handbags_messenger_backpack&amp;start=13">http://www.henribendel.com/jet.....ndbags_mes</a><br />JAileen- the graduation is for NYU Silver School of Social Work and is held at Radio City at %pm. The whole school graduation is earlier in the day at Yankee Stadium but DD didn't want to do both.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662288 Mon, 16 May 2016 20:31:46 +0000 ALeigh 1662288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely go with 4 or 6. It suits you, it's got some color and is practical. Big thumbs up! </p> <p>With 5 it may be the camera angle but the combo I think makes you look far bulkier than you actually are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662286 Mon, 16 May 2016 20:27:22 +0000 JAileen 1662286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 6 and 7 best. I would wear which works best for the weather. Is this at Columbia? My friend was telling me they don't put up any tents for graduation, and only parents use umbrellas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662283 Mon, 16 May 2016 20:24:15 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1662283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662235 Mon, 16 May 2016 18:21:29 +0000 Sheila 1662235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #6 best but the other alternatives are also good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662234 Mon, 16 May 2016 18:20:28 +0000 always trying 1662234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of them. they all sound more appropriate for the event and weather. Any one except #5 would get a big ya from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662233 Mon, 16 May 2016 18:18:32 +0000 rachylou 1662233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh you have great jackets. The culottes are definitely it. I'd go with Angie's choice of 4, because I wouldn't be able to pick (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662218 Mon, 16 May 2016 17:52:04 +0000 Suz 1662218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness. A person would never know you were at a loss; &nbsp;you look exceptionally stylish and fab. I love 4, 5, and 6 but think 4 is probably the best/ easiest look and most weather appropriate for the occasion. Now all you need is a bag and you are set!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662217 Mon, 16 May 2016 17:50:46 +0000 Elizabeth P 1662217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 my fav as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662211 Mon, 16 May 2016 17:45:12 +0000 Anonymous 1662211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My two faves are 4 and 6.&nbsp; You can really wear culottes well.&nbsp; Have a great time!&nbsp; A Suburban seems like the perfect urban assault vehicle for NYC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662124 Mon, 16 May 2016 14:54:27 +0000 Colette 1662124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think culottes are the way to go. They all work, but #4 is my favorite, that jacket looks like it fits you great! Congratulations to the graduate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662116 Mon, 16 May 2016 14:45:47 +0000 Angie 1662116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all. You've styled those culottes with panache and verve, Gail.</p> <p>My faves are: #4, 5 and 6. Probably #4 best of all. Which bag?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-31#post-1662110 Mon, 16 May 2016 14:31:47 +0000 Gail 1662110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter graduates from grad school on Wednesday in NYC. Of course I was hoping for warm and sunny but it's a high temp of maybe 65 and cloudy with chance of rain .<br /> I had a couple of dresses I could have worn but am thinking it's going to be too cool for bare legs all the way up and the shoes I have for them are open toe and I won't wear with stockings. I also find that stockings and sandals have a huge slip around factor for me.<br /> So what to do ?<br /> Looked in my closet and thought ok I can wear my wide leg black cuffed pants , suffice to say that they will not be comfortable to drive 2 hours , too darn tight .<br /> I have some black WHBM culottes which I could wear. But not sure what to go with them.<br /> Pics 1-3 are with a green silk shirt which is really too big and black jacket that tied at waist. Sorry about hair hadn't dried it.<br /> Pic 4 is with orange jacket which is quite small and can only be worn with a thin top under. I have a black stretch top under.<br /> Pic 5 is with a longer Bandolino coat/jacket same top under.<br /> Pic 6 with bright pink jacket<br /> Pic 7 with black jacket again. I like the fit of the black jacket as it gives the outfit some structure.<br /> I suppose I could wear my bright orange dress with a suede boot I have which comes up to mid calf and is fitted.<br /> I'm open to other ideas and suggestions. I'm confused.<br /> I need to be comfortable as driving in to NYC is not my fave in a huge suburban lol . </p>
