I think the dress or Haute Hippie jacket would work perfectly with an edgy shoe or boot. Enjoy the night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321695 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:47:42 +0000 CocoLion 1321695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think since you are the stylist you are supposed to look the part. &nbsp;So I think you have a lot of leeway.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of these pieces, the dress would be my favorite. &nbsp;Just because it's a dress does not mean it will upstage the hostess. &nbsp;The dress says in-the-know chic while the color is muted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321615 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 18:02:36 +0000 Vicki 1321615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the idea of your Haute Hippie jacket, with jeans or a&nbsp;skirt, and am in agreement with Archer and Una in that you'll be dressed differently enough from your client and still uniquely you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321588 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:26:43 +0000 karymk 1321588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you will be introduced as your friends stylist, go lowkey so that she stands out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321567 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 16:40:33 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1321567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lean toward the Haute Hippie jacket. Go for unique, but not over the top bling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321564 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 16:38:02 +0000 LACeleste 1321564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Rae (Stylist Extraordinaire!)</p> <p>I am sure you will look amazing! &nbsp;I am a big fan of your new boots but would go with sandals or lighter looking&nbsp;footwear.<br />Have a super great time!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321559 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 16:31:18 +0000 rabbit 1321559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds fun! and a challenge. &nbsp; I might pick an outfit you have worn before and photographed&nbsp;that has a high happiness/chic&nbsp;factor and has been road tested if in doubt. &nbsp;</p> <p>Although I&nbsp;think the dress casualized could be good. &nbsp;Also the &nbsp;Haute Hippie jacket is awesome and could work with very simple accompaniments and could be taken off if it got to hot or the party was super casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321551 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 16:07:05 +0000 rae 1321551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know; that's why I'm feeling the pressure! lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321546 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:56:09 +0000 catgirl 1321546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Archer, you definitely want to project 'stylist" for possible clients, without outshining the host.&nbsp; You also need to look unique yet, er, relatable.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; Whatever you come up with, this is your expertise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321543 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:52:36 +0000 rae 1321543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not on the beach or sandy; just an indoor/outdoor patio type situation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hm, skirt might work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321542 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:52:15 +0000 Archer 1321542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think haute hippie of these three. As long as u are in a very different, but chic, style to your client friend there is no space to compare. She and they will expect you to be wearing whatever, with confidence- just do that. You always look great so go with your usual confident style. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321539 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:47:40 +0000 catgirl 1321539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't wear the rose jacket - it is a show-stealer for sure!&nbsp; What about a skirt, sandals, and a drapey top? Or the green boots?&nbsp; By beachside venue, do you mean sandy or just near a beach/outside?&nbsp; How cool to have dressed the hosts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-to-smart-casual-party-at-beachside-venue#post-1321535 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 15:44:30 +0000 rae 1321535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The birthday girl is wearing dark wash jeans, draped blue "tidal print" Helmut tee, silver shoes, and a jeweled necklace. Her BF is wearing brown jeans, taupe tee, light blue sport coat.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and I have to wear it to work, because I have to go straight from one to the other. Oh, and this is the first event I'll attend where someone is likely to introduce me as "my stylist" (I dressed the hostess, her bf, and her mother).&nbsp;</p> <p>Easiest would be a dress, but I don't want to over-dress the hostess, and I'm afraid I'll be cold.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have this purple dress, could wear with new boots?&nbsp;</p> <p>Or I could build around my rose gold jacket? Would that literally outshine the hostess?&nbsp;</p> <p>Or maybe my new Haute Hippie jacket over jeans with a little bling? </p>
