Period. 912688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So funny--the other gals got exactly what I was thinking. &nbsp;I think the nude tights and taupe booties will brighten this up. &nbsp;Otherwise, I would try to add something brighter into the mix. &nbsp;Since you have a black and white dress, you could bring the white up by adding in a white necklace if you have one. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-to-a-wedding-shower#post-912677 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 00:18:12 +0000 sarah 912677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your look better - I think the dark tights are a little too bottom heavy, but that this would be fab with nude hose and either the knee high boots or shorter boots. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-to-a-wedding-shower#post-912605 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 22:29:10 +0000 Deborah 912605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz. I would go worn nude hose and your outfit looks lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-to-a-wedding-shower#post-912587 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 22:10:12 +0000 Suz 912587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, we have to be governed by the weather, don't we. So whatever works, I say. But you could also do nude hose for a bit of lightness. Your dress is overall darker than the inspiration so it might be good to bring a bit of light to the look overall.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-to-a-wedding-shower#post-912585 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 22:04:57 +0000 nancylee 912585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm headed to a wedding shower tomorrow, and I'm considering copying a look from Pinterest. &nbsp;It's going to be in the low 60s F, so not very warm....hence the cardi and boots. &nbsp;I could also swap out the tights and tall boots for nude hose and short taupe booties.</p> <p>#1 - Pinterest inspiration<br />#2 - my proposed outfit</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp; Do the tall boots work? &nbsp;What about black tights in April?</p> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>#3 - my final outfit (sorry it's a little blurry!) </p>
