Secondly I love the black and the polka dot one. Both could be very useful in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094933 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:55:38 +0000 peacechick 1094933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple peplum is a great color but I have a problem with where the sleeve cuts off also. If I choose that, I would add a topper like a sparkly cropped blazer or shrug. </p> <p>The LBD is a keeper. There's nothing not to like and you can dress it up with accessories like a statement necklace or color-pop shoes.</p> <p>I think the dot is too business. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094931 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:50:16 +0000 Parsley 1094931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the polka dot one on you a lot, but I see what you mean about it being a little business-y. Maybe festive accessories would make the difference, though. Do you have a bling-y black necklace and a bright clutch? And of course pretty heels will make it look dressier, too.</p> <p>Second choice for me is the purple. The black is pretty, and it looks good on you, but it's a little too generic to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094927 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:41:09 +0000 unfrumped 1094927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough call. The purple is a great color.<br /> The dot is not party-ish but is excellent for work--would go with many toppers. Consider getting it for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094922 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:32:53 +0000 celia 1094922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The polka dot one is so beautiful on you. If not, the purple one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094862 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:22:40 +0000 marianna 1094862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. Party is in two weeks so I have some time to look around. I do like the LBD I posted above, though. It feels like me. Ideally I want a long sleeved LBD...</p> <p>This is my first work holiday party at my first big girl job so I am very excited! And these are all straight sized dresses, which is making the search much more fun... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094858 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:17:29 +0000 Gigi 1094858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either #1 or #2 is good. Both look great on you. I like both of them better than the polka-dot one. The first two seem a little more dressy or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094855 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:16:06 +0000 Angie 1094855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the bra thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the polka dot frock best of the lot. Please don't cover up. It's best un-layered. But you'll probably freeze. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094847 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:10:30 +0000 marianna 1094847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's also this polka dot one I tried on but found a bit too... business-ey? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094840 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:07:27 +0000 marianna 1094840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I love the one in your round-up but I don't love strapless bras. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094834 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:04:51 +0000 LACeleste 1094834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094833 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:04:32 +0000 Angie 1094833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of #1, but the sleeve style is a deal breaker to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 has potential, although I'd still love to see a longer sleeve. The midriff&nbsp;detailing looks very pretty, and so do you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I want you to try the lace midi dress you liked in the round-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094832 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:04:11 +0000 Suz 1094832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both really nice looking but I think I vote purple! It's a bit different and also that's a very sophisticated, sleek, non-girly peplum, which makes it a bit special in my view.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094830 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 20:00:39 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1094830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the purple just because there will probably be a lot of black dresses and this will stand out.&nbsp; I think it's prettier with your coloring too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-dress-for-work-holiday-party#post-1094825 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 19:57:50 +0000 marianna 1094825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which one do you prefer from these two? Purple peplum or LBD with waist detail?</p> <p>This is for my company holiday party, held at a hotel. Dress code is cocktail.</p> <p>Thank you for your thoughts! This is the first round of dresses I've tried. </p>
