The wine top made such a great change. Good job. You look the perfect balance for a celebration in your friends home. I love the flat boots and how you dressed them up.

I actually had to leave before I could check your ideas, so this is what I ended up wearing. I felt pretty good - casual yet festive. Most people were dressed more on the casual side - a lot of smart casual jeans.</p> <p>I ended up switching the black wrap top for a wine-colored one and wore the white scarf.</p> <p><a href="http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo313/tarzyYLF/Holiday%20Tea%20Party/IMG_0307.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i387.photobucket.com/al.....G_0307.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-holiday-tea-party-today#post-39222 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:05:59 +0000 Anonymous 39222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit with the belt, flat boots, purple scarf and/or red necklace for the event you described. The denim jacket makes it all more casual. I love the belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-holiday-tea-party-today#post-39221 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:40:59 +0000 yublocka 39221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for flat boots, either purple/white scarf to wear there then take off inside (assuming it'll be nice and warm inside) with pearls underneath. The wrap top, skirt and belt look great together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-holiday-tea-party-today#post-39218 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:05:46 +0000 anne 39218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lots of lovely looks there. I liked the 3 strand pearl necklace kind of nice for a tea party </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-holiday-tea-party-today#post-39217 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:05:05 +0000 Laura 39217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm too late to help but had to pop in to say that your red glasses are absolutely gorgeous! You look incredible! Have fun at the tea and let us know how the crowd was dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-holiday-tea-party-today#post-39213 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 21:56:37 +0000 cinncali 39213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for flat boots, belt, red necklace, and denim jacket (no scarf). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-holiday-tea-party-today#post-39211 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 21:13:52 +0000 tarzy 39211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I left this to the last minute, as usual! I am going to my friend's annual Christmas Tea Party today and I'm stuck on what to wear. It's at her house - very casual - but she cooks for an entire week and really goes all out for this party (cakes, cookies, tea sandwiches, English trifle - all made by her. She used to a professional caterer and is an amazing cook/baker.) I'd like to acknowledge her effort by looking nice. I will see friends I only see once or twice a year - a very artsy, fun crowd (actors, writers.) I know that Smart Casual would be a no-brainer but I feel like doing something a little more fun, since these are friends and I will comfortable with them.</p> <p>I am having trouble finding that sweet spot between "dressy" and "smart casual in a dress." </p> <p>I only wear dresses or skirts with boots (because I don't like my huge calves) but I'm not happy with either of my boot choices. The flat riding boots are fun and funky, but I'm not sure they really work with the skirt (which is actually a dress.) On the other hand, the heeled boots are great, but I feel a tad too dressed up for a party at someone's house. (I've had no luck finding a more casual heeled boot to fit my calves.) </p> <p>I like the belt - it has a fun buckle - but is it too much with a scarf? Is it better with just a necklace? Is the scarf too much with the wrap top? I threw on the denim jacket to try to funk it up a bit, but it seems off somehow. I have some other jackets that are a bit more tailored and might look too "businessy." I only have a black cardigan, which might be too much black? (I really need to find a jacket for this purpose!)</p> <p>Or should I just default to Smart Casual with jeans? </p> <p>(Please excuse the no-makeup and un=styled hair in most of the photos!) (And those are my new, red glasses!)</p> <p>Thank you so much!</p> <p><a href="http://s387.photobucket.com/albums/oo313/tarzyYLF/Holiday%20Tea%20Party/" rel="nofollow">http://s387.photobucket.com/al.....a%20Party/</a><br /> p/w = 2008ylf </p>
