It was fun - they all looked very smart and sophisticated. My son had a great time!!</p> <p>Thanks for your help - parents were mostly wearing their work clothes or smart casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036754 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:34:08 +0000 Anonymous 2036754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What did you end up wearing?

This is a special occasion, enjoy seeing DS and his date all dressed up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036703 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 09:45:08 +0000 Anonymous 2036703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely one of the dresses! Dark sheer tights, or lace, read dressier than dark opaque tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036666 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 03:41:17 +0000 Sal 2036666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks - I will go for one of the dresses probably with the camel ankle boots....&nbsp; I have inherited a stunning cameo necklace from my Mum that I think I will wear so I will see what that works best with.</p> <p>Funny - the last two weeks I have been thinking I was done with shopping and did not feel tempted to add one single thing for the rest of winter (bar the elusive hoodie) and then suddenly today I had those urges to go and buy something new and fun.....but I haven't.</p> <p>Sarah - the red blouse has been a great piece.&nbsp; It has been worn about 3-6 times every year and often been just the right item for dinners out or the theatre.&nbsp; I think I will downgrade it to a work, casual piece as it is lovely to wear.&nbsp; The black blouse is also showing wear (it is maybe 12 years old!!) so I might need to look for a pretty dressy blouse replacement!!</p> <p>Brooklyn - I agree.&nbsp; The black boots on me need dark tights with a dress at the knee and it is a better casual day look.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036647 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:29:36 +0000 Becky 2036647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like either dress option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036644 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:19:06 +0000 Anonymous 2036644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the wine dress with knee high camel boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036643 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:14:13 +0000 Brooklyn 2036643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote the black dress with either the ankle boots or the knee high boots. You’ll look elegant and understated.</p> <p>ETA I meant the camel ankle boots. All black might look a bit dark for the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036629 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 00:41:47 +0000 Jenn 2036629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wine dress! I love that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036623 Wed, 19 Jun 2019 00:14:52 +0000 SarahD8 2036623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the wine spot dress with camel ankle boots. You'll look polished, festive, and hip but totally different from the teens.</p> <p>Also shoutout to the red silk shirt, job well done these last 9 years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tonight-to-sons-preball#post-2036621 Tue, 18 Jun 2019 23:59:46 +0000 Sal 2036621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I always think my wardrobe is versatile for any occasion......I am struggling to decide what to wear tonight to a function prior to a school ball/prom.&nbsp; Teens will be in suits and ballgowns - so I don't want to pretend I am a teen.&nbsp; But I may end up in photos with the son and his date, and I don't know many of the parents very well.</p> <p>I am thinking either my wine spot dress with knee high or camel ankle boots, or my black dress with the same, or black skinnies with a blouse and my duck egg blazer (pumps or black boots)&nbsp; With a bit of jewelry....and makeup...</p> <p>I have also added the black floral blouse as an option with the skinnies (but I don't love this combo) or the cream jacket?&nbsp; I pulled out my red silk shirt as an option but it is starting to wear which I had not noticed until now - it is 9 years old so it has done well.&nbsp; It has life but maybe not for this occasion.</p> <p>If this was summer I would have lots of options..</p> <p>It is mid winter here and a cold crisp day..... so I will need hosiery and covered shoes.&nbsp; &nbsp;Linen feels wrong so my rust culottes are not right.</p> <p>I have about four hours to make a call.</p> <p>Thanks<br />Sally</p>
