Really adoring you in this length of dress, Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489308 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:15:31 +0000 AJ 489308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! So fab! Dressy but not too dressy. Lots of personality oozing from this outfit.</p> <p>I agree, my first thought was how Jean/Greenglove would be all over this look.</p> <p>I want to steal your jacket! Watch out! : P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489288 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:48:25 +0000 Janet 489288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! </p> <p>Una, I'm honored to remind you of Jean in this -- I find her style very inspiring! </p> <p>Suz, I love the comparison with photographic imagery -- I will think of that whenever I wear this dress now. My stepson (age 20 and an artist) remarked that it was very cool and looked like coffee cups had been sat down all over it, but in a good way. LOL</p> <p>Parsley, it is leather, and it is surprisingly soft leather for a metallic finish. I love that the metallic is not harsh or overly shiny, more of a luster. It was a lucky find and a great bargain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489266 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 11:40:21 +0000 lyn67 489266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489185 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 05:01:06 +0000 Parsley 489185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, your outfit looks just beautiful on you! Is the metallic jacket leather or fabric? I bet it does go with almost everything. The dress looks lovely, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489149 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:20:32 +0000 Suz 489149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Janet, you are REALLY coming into your own, stylewise. You just get better and better. I agree with Una that this one seems somehow reminiscent of Greenglove. What I love about it most, though, is the way the dress LOOKS like a dream of photography. The light splotches against the dark remind me of early photos and of flashes going off and the slightly blurred effect makes me think of old-style developing...it's gorgeous on you, and so suitable to the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489142 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:05:05 +0000 HelenInCanada 489142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit - love the shine and the edginess of this. Dress (what I can see of it) is the bomb (are kids still saying this? Lol)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489139 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:57:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 489139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really beautiful Janet - I love the mix of the rich tones in the jacket and dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489102 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:53:11 +0000 catgirl 489102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is the most fab thing I've seen in a while - I love the cut and metallic fabric. You look amazing and I'm you casually dazzled all the other guests! Something about this outfit and your stance is reminding me of Jean/Greenglove - both of your are artists with a great eye for fab pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489025 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:44:11 +0000 Ana 489025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love your "casual-dressed up" outfits, Janet! You always seem to strike just the right note for the occasion. The metallic is really cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-489022 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:42:52 +0000 Lisa 489022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great party outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-488951 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:11:44 +0000 Janet 488951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Amy and Kim! </p> <p>Astrid, I'll probably leave it on, but it depends on how warm/cool the venue is. I'll have a scarf and gloves to protect me from the chilly walk back to my car as the temps drop tonight. </p> <p>Claire, I did change after I took a picture. I don't think it was bad at all, but this seemed more right somehow, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-488948 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:08:12 +0000 Anonymous 488948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful Janet! I love the jacket! What a great neutral. The dress is superb and you made a good call on the tights. Did it take a picture to show you that the burgundy ones were 'too busy' or could you tell from the mirror? Just curious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-488947 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:08:09 +0000 Astrid 488947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I can see how this is a versatile jacket, very nice. Do you plan to leave it on? And I like the outfit with the black semi-opaques. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-488946 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:07:00 +0000 Queen Mum 488946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone has to be the most dressed-up one, right? Might as well be you! And you look fabulous! Love the whole outfit... every piece is gorgeous and you put them together fabulously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-488945 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:06:31 +0000 amyreh 488945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this outfit is beautiful. That jacket is gorgeous and you will stand out in just the right way among all those casual folk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-casual-holiday-gathering#post-488942 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:00:46 +0000 Janet 488942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heading to a photography industry holiday happy hour and print swap. Photographers are a casual lot, I'll probably be the most dressed-up one there.</p> <p>Dress: Calvin Klein<br /> Jacket: Theory<br /> Boots: Frye</p> <p>I had on burgundy tights at first but they seemed to be a little busy, so I went with black semi-opaque. I'm finding this metallic jacket to be very versatile! </p>
