I would have gone for the dress or skirt with the matte sequin cardi, but then *bowling* gets thrown into the mix? Men. Don't they understand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791555 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:17:38 +0000 Tina.b 791555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the sweater with those gorgeous lace pants. The pumps just add that perfect touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791550 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:06:33 +0000 Emily 791550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha yes, the fancy dinner and bowling capsule! How did I miss that aspect of my lifestyle? Silly boys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791548 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:58:08 +0000 unfrumped 791548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that is so like guys! Dress up for the upscale restaurant and then let's go BOWLING! They can take off jackets &amp; ties and roll up sleeves.<br /> Hmmm ... Got to work on that capsule. </p> <p>Sounds like fun, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791545 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:42:37 +0000 Emily 791545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for lending me your eyes! I remembered reading through these that I have been holding on to a black cardigan with matte sequins that would probably be good over the dress or top/skirt.</p> <p>My husband and some of his coworkers decided to suit up for the event so I think that makes the sweater and lace print jeans too casual, no? I will definitely get another chance to wear them to a friends' christmas party next weekend, though! I love those pants.</p> <p>That leaves the Dress or Top and Skirt. DH mentioned when he got home yesterday that some folks might be headed to a local bar/bowling alley after, and I think a non-zero chance of bowling rules out the pencil skirt,...</p> <p>Will get hubs to snap a pic or two before we leave </p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791538 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:25:02 +0000 RunnerChick 791538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lean the same way Manidipa does - I like the pretty patterned jeans and sweater the best for the party. Don't get me wrong - I think all the outfits look great, and you look wonderful in all of them, but I do think the red sweater and the lace pattern of the jeans are the most holiday-like ensemble. I also think Mani's right about the blazer workign well with this outfit. For a holiday party at an upscale restaurant, it does call for a little more bling - do you have a pendant necklace? I am also thinking that a scarf pinned with a shiny brooch might also do the trick. </p> <p>Good luck choosing your outfit - I really don't think you can go wrong! Have fun at the party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791529 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:10:38 +0000 Alecia 791529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the color blocked outfit with the shirt tucked in and the addition of a blingy statement necklace. I'm thinking a bib type necklace would be really nice. Though I voted for that outfit, I think they're all lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791528 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:09:50 +0000 Angie 791528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791522 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:02:49 +0000 Suz 791522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great options, and all fantastic suggestions! I want to see a bit more sparkle somewhere with all of them. </p> <p>I love the first dress with more sheer hose and a different (shorter) topper -- gorgeous on you!</p> <p>I love the jeans - wow!! And really like Mani's idea to try them with a blazer and a little bling. </p> <p>I love the colour block outfit with the blazer if required and some sparkle! </p> <p>You did some super shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791491 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:46:36 +0000 anne 791491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say that the LSP outfit in 4-5 does look good and I hope you'll have another opportunity to wear it - I vote for the colour block outfit for this party - your figure looks amazing in it. Perhaps with the black blazer, as per the other's suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791490 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:44:53 +0000 ManidipaM 791490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the minority for preferring the patterned jeans (there's a luxurious feel to the lacy pattern, to my eye), though I'd like to see a little sparkle added for the festivity --- a necklace or pin, a sparkly clutch... Doesn't have to be sequins; even pearls and satin would work.</p> <p>My second choice would be the dress, but with a cardigan or wrap that decidedly isn't office-friendly, as JR said. Patterned tights, if you have some, might dress it up further too. What bag were you thinking?</p> <p>The colour-blocked outfit is very smart, but does not say 'evening' or 'holiday' to me. It IS evening, right?</p> <p>ETA: Unlike the dress, the jeans might work quite well with the blazer because the jeans themselves are so prettily patterned. Just add a pretty top underneath and you're set---something silky or with a sheen, or in a jewel hue, would be brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791461 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:48:07 +0000 Deborah 791461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all lovely. I think for the restaurant I would go with #1 or # 6. #1 would look good with a more sheer hose. The black jacket is lovely however I think a necklace would be a niece addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791440 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:35:17 +0000 lyn67 791440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see, teal is your color!:-)<br /> You look killer in all these, but would like the first dress with the peep toe sandals, which are K"K, and will instantly give an edge to a clasic outfit! Throw on a sparkle something (necklace, earings, bangles, cardi, scarf or jacket) and you're good to go!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791439 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:34:13 +0000 lyn67 791439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look killer in all these, but would like the first dress with the peep toe sandals, which are K"K, and will instantly give an edge to a clasic outfit!

Throw in a blingy clutch and you're set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791326 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 04:20:59 +0000 ZFMD 791326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in that blue dress. It's a great color for you. I agree with JR that the outfit could use some sparkle. A belt would be great for that and would give some emphasis to your waist when you are wearing your jacket. Also, I agree about the hosiery -- sheer off-black might be a better choice. Have a great time at the party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791303 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:48:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 791303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress in outfit #1 but find the blazer to be a little long for it. I do like the colour blocked top and skirt combo but am wondering if you will be chilly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791302 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:48:18 +0000 Kiwichik 791302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress w/out jacket, really sheer black hose &amp; sone bling. I also like the skirt with sheer hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791284 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:30:59 +0000 Karie 791284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 with sheer black hose, and some added bling for a little sparkle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791197 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:54:40 +0000 sarah 791197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of #1 with a lighter (more sheer black) hose, so it's not quite so bottom heavy. And maybe add some bling? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791172 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:43:49 +0000 Carole 791172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't decide between the dress in 1-2 or the color blocked top skirt combo. I agree with Kelly, the jacket would work nicely over the color blocked tucked version, at first glance I thought it was a sheath dress! I think I might have a slight preference for the 1st option, add a festive clutch and jewelry and you will be good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791157 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:33:55 +0000 kellygirl 791157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color blocked top with the pencil the best. Can you pop the jacket over the tucked version? It looks like a sheath dress to me. It looks very elegant. I don't think you could go wrong with any of these though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791156 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:33:20 +0000 JR 791156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love that first dress, although the outfit is begging for just a touch of holiday sparkle somewhere. And do you have a jacket that wouldn't look at home in the office? Or a sparkly cardigan? Something to play into the femininity of the dress.</p> <p>The pants are so much fun, and with the high heels could be doable. In that case though, you would need more than a little glitz or sparkle to make them look fancy enough for the restaurant and a party.</p> <p>The colour-blocking is fun, but doesn't quite strike the party note for me.</p> <p>Regardless, you look fantastic in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791128 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:19:51 +0000 unfrumped 791128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good outfit options!<br /> I like the dresses better for what you describe as an "upscaler" restaurant. You look dressier and more special-occasion in them. </p> <p>I like the idea of black hose and think you could even consider a more sheet black with those dresses with heels. With the solid blue dress, a tiny pattern sheer black would be good and break up the solidness of the blue/black. </p> <p>Do you have a bit of sparkle or shine in some dressy accessories? That would add to the party/holiday vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-husbands-holiday-work-party#post-791117 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:12:08 +0000 Emily 791117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband's work holiday party is at an upscale restaurant. Here are the options... </p> <p>1-3: Dress, Blazer &amp; Pumps<br /> I know the back looks wrinkly in 1 - I would wear a cami underneath for smoothing. I could also swap out the blazer for a Cardigan.</p> <p>Blue A-Line Dress w/V Back - Modcloth<br /> Black Blazer - Rickis<br /> Diamond Patterned Tights - Rickis<br /> Pumps - Nine West</p> <p>4-5: Little Shiny Pants<br /> I bought these pants literally the day I read Angie's LSP blog post... Love the lace print! </p> <p>Lace Print Slim Pants - RW&amp;Co<br /> Burgundy Sweater - Rickis (will wear a black cami underneath IRL)<br /> Pumps - Nine West</p> <p>6-9: Colorblock top and Teal Pencil skirt<br /> I don't know if I like this better tucked or untucked. Maybe untucked and belted?</p> <p>Colorblock top - Rickis<br /> Teal Skirt - Rickis<br /> Peep Toe Heels - Nine West<br /> Diamond Patterned Tights - Rickis</p> <p>I am totally open to other combinations of these items... swapping the shoes, the colorblock top with the pants, or the blazer over the sweater maybe? What do you think? </p>
