The angles of the top and the jacket match very well. You are a master (mistress) of proportion! I hope you enjoyed your celebration evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109769 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 17:29:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1109769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything about this outfit Deb and you must have been the most stylish Mum there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have a great school break Master 10 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109688 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 16:13:45 +0000 carambola 1109688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is beautiful!

And I would say it is definitely school appropriate. Make me&nbsp;wonder what would the author of Mander's "mum" dressing article say. With your fab style,&nbsp;you con't fit <b>any </b>of her categories -- and that is as it should be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109549 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:43:23 +0000 amiable 1109549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! &nbsp;Enjoy your school vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109518 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:21:52 +0000 pil 1109518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful, Deborah.

Congratulations to Master 10 and I hope he and Dexter enjoy his vacation from school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109515 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 13:16:36 +0000 Jaime 1109515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that jacket and will not get sick of it, please show all the ways you style it! Congratulations Master 10 - well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109489 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 12:51:03 +0000 Sam 1109489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, I love everything about this, Deborah. (So much so as to consider asking where the jacket and top are from so that I might look into getting my own!) The proportions are absolutely perfect, and I love the way the diagonal hem of the jacket plays off of the handkerchief hem of the top.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with caro about the top and if I were intending to wear it on its own, I'd think about&nbsp;taking it to the tailor to get rid of a tiny bit of the fullness at the waist and hem, but the jacket you're wearing makes that completely unnecessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109444 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:48:32 +0000 Anonymous 1109444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks super, Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109443 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:36:35 +0000 Lantana 1109443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, the jacket has such beautiful lines that I don't think I could ever get sick of looking at it.<br /> I'm so glad you found the letting go thread liberating.<br /> I hope you had a wonderful evening at the school concert and would love to know if you had any comments on your fab outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109439 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 10:14:34 +0000 Sharon 1109439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, i love this! Edgy, but totally school appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109437 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:58:50 +0000 Anonymous 1109437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, you just carry on being you. I love everything about your outfit. Just fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109432 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:29:43 +0000 Deborah 1109432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lyn, no the black one is just plain. I think the white one I saw had a black stripe under the underneath of the arm? Are your girls finished for the year too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109431 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 09:28:00 +0000 Lyn D. 1109431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the way your top and jacket have similar hemlines Deborah.<br />I did check it out at Valley Girl and saw the cream version there as well- does the black have the quilted patch over the shoulder too? Very nice and very YOU :)<br />Enjoy your Celebration evening!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109408 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 07:43:14 +0000 Greyscale 1109408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, for one, will never get sick of the jacket! I like how the shape of the jacket echoes the hemline of&nbsp;the tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109404 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 07:30:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1109404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought that might be it but I wanted to let you know what I saw :)&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope you all have a great night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109400 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 07:20:53 +0000 Deborah 1109400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, it may be the photo. The top is a small so I couldn't go any smaller:). I think it is the design tho;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109394 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:56:19 +0000 Debra 1109394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic......I love the whole silhouette.<br /> That little jacket looks like it will be a favorite and the grey top is lovely.<br /> Have a wonderful night </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109392 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:49:46 +0000 Caro in Oz 1109392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket &amp;&nbsp;you know this is one of my favourite silhouettes but I'm questioning the width of the tunic. Is it a little big on you? There seems to be a lot of fabric at the sides &amp; back. Ignore me&nbsp;if it's not the case irl.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109388 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:37:13 +0000 E 1109388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats to master 10! You definitely look school appropriate, even if you're not the 'norm.' I love the proportions you've put together here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109373 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:14:12 +0000 Neel 1109373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is dressy yet laid back and perfect for the evening imo. &nbsp;School mums come in different kinds! &nbsp;Atleast DSs school mums! &nbsp;Some are in high heels and hot pants and others are in mommy jeans and tees! &nbsp;I fall in between. So yeah .. anything goes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109372 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:10:04 +0000 anne 1109372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Debs. And appropriate. I found there was a huge range in what is worn at those sort of evenings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-celebration-evening#post-1109369 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 06:08:41 +0000 Deborah 1109369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Today was end of term for Master 10 and he is now off school until February:)<br />Tonight we have what the school calls "Celebration Evening" where the children graduate and are given awards etc.</p> <p>I am wearing:</p> <p>Black skinny jeans (that have bagged out shockingly with one day's wear:()<br />Grey sleeveless top<br />Black draped jacket<br />Black Booties</p> <p>Not sure about a bag yet but will probably carry my gunmetal clutch and will pop on my watch and silver rings.</p> <p>I find myself often dressed very differently to the other mums but I am embracing Penny's (Lantana) post of today:&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-what-distracts-you">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....tracts-you</a><br />and I am letting go of being concerned with&nbsp;dressing differently to my environmental norm and just wearing what I want to wear &nbsp;Thanks Penny :)</p> <p>So, do I look school mum appropriate &nbsp; Does this outfit work, particularly the proportions?</p> <p>Thanks for looking and for your thoughts.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p> <p></p> <p>ps...
