That is a gorgeous top - I would get a lot more use from a top than a dress also - and the boots are great. I love this type of outfit myself for casual parties.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401116 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 13:44:13 +0000 Janet 2401116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>Lisa, the boots are Nordstrom’s brand. Somehow I can’t post a link, but the screenshot below shows details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401099 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 03:15:30 +0000 LJP 2401099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit and perfect for the occasion !

You are holiday ready. Love the top; I wear few prints and gravitate to similar ones. They can be HEWIs and yours creates a mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401092 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 01:10:46 +0000 JAileen 2401092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Birds! &nbsp;Your top is just lovely. &nbsp;It was brave to cut off the skirt, but you ended up with a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401088 Thu, 18 Dec 2025 01:02:00 +0000 Jaime 2401088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was such a good move to chop the dress. Great top that you can wear so many more ways now. You look fab - my daughter took her first pilates class yesterday and said it was the hardest workout she has ever done. Now I want to try too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401084 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 23:17:22 +0000 ChristelJ 2401084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely beautiful! I am so impressed you made the dress into such a stunning top. &nbsp;Your jeans and boots are fab too. &nbsp;I am also fond of ornate tops with jeans for going out, mostly dark patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401079 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 21:19:36 +0000 lyn67 2401079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fab top, what a great idea to reuse the dress in that way! I sometime oss my dresses the same way, too! And would have loved to see&nbsp;</p> <p>the other outfits you tried,&nbsp;&nbsp;bet you have a gorgeous holiday capsule,</p> <p>similar to Angie's!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401075 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 20:21:33 +0000 Jenni NZ 2401075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a really great term Janet, “dark festive”. I enjoy that, though for my own festive outfits I am more in Angie’s camp of bright festive I haven’t had as many opportunities this year for festive occasions for various reasons, but looking forward to hosting extended family on Christmas Day.<br /> I love that top that you made out of the Fuzzi dress, it’s beautiful. Great new boots too and you always look good in your jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401074 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 20:21:04 +0000 Irina 2401074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit, looks very elegant!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401071 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 20:01:32 +0000 cat2 2401071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great rescue effort. </p> <p>DH, usually a peach, hated the monochromatic quiet luxury looks of the last few years and now my moody luxury plan. I have a box of on sale and fully returnable and insured shiny things on the way. I am hoping when I try them on he will see that he shouldn’t be driving this process! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401067 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 19:51:23 +0000 Angie 2401067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An incredibly successful dress hack, and you look KILLER fab!

Cutting down that dress was so successful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401053 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 15:53:33 +0000 Suz 2401053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Janet!

Looks terrific on you, perfect for holiday wear. Love the new burgundy boots too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401051 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 15:43:33 +0000 Sisi 2401051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a super fabulous top!

It seems I am also into dark festive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dark-festive#post-2401046 Wed, 17 Dec 2025 15:08:56 +0000 Janet 2401046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was struck by how cheery and bright Angie’s festive ensembles are. Like most of my style, mine are decidedly darker and moodier, but I think they still meet the festive mark through texture, rich color, print/pattern, and sometimes some shine. </p> <p>Last night was our Pilates studio’s annual holiday party. The women who teach and take classes there have become a great group of friends, and I’m so thankful to have become a part of that community! </p> <p>I admit fully that I changed outfits a couple of times before leaving. I liked the other outfits I tried, but I was not in the mood for them for one reason or another — I am, however, filing those away for a couple of future gatherings. </p> <p>I wore this mesh top that used to be a dress, before I had the skirt cut off. I was feeling over the all-over bodycon silhouette, and also felt I would get a lot more wear out of a top than a dress. It proved to be a good move! It’s hard to see the fabulous detail in that top, but it has lots of lovely texture in the velvet appliqués. I love the bird print! I paired it with a simple pair of wide-legged COH jeans, some new burgundy booties from Nordstrom (I had been keeping an eye out for a new pair and these ticked all the boxes !), and silver jewelry accents. Not a great pic but I tried to lighten it a little to show some detail. </p> <p>It was a fun night and I felt comfortable and occasion-appropriate in this. </p>
