And congratulations on your engagement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-496196 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 07:25:59 +0000 Diana 496196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana, that's a good idea to try the sweater with the skirt and I'll definitely try it. I know I'd have to tuck it in since the skirt is too full and has some bow details that don't work with a longer untucked skirt... Hopefully the sweater will not be too bulky to tuck.</p> <p>Jjsloane, thanks so much for the book rec... It looks really useful, and I need all the help I can get! I think it will primarily be just a western ceremony, although we might do a Chinese tea ceremony for close family... Others in my family have done it at home between the official ceremony and the reception, or tacked it on to the rehearsal dinner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495976 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:37:10 +0000 Jjsloane 495976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super great in all 3! I LOVE your skirt in #1 - great investment. But I always like your style so it's no surprise.</p> <p>Congrats on the engagement. Get thee a copy of Bridal Bargains by the Fields' and you won't regret it. Will you have to have a western and an Asian ceremony? I had 3 weddings - one on the beach, then Asian (Lao - Buddhist cerremony) and traditional reception. It was a lot of work but really fun to have all the different events (and outfits) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495942 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 23:47:31 +0000 citygirldc 495942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your engagement! I love you skirt in #1 and dress in #6. They look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495578 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 03:26:13 +0000 Jonesy 495578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooo festive and fabulous! I really love the NL skirt on you--I can see why you went for it and haven't regretted a single penny! You look fab in every look. Entering into someone else's family traditions can be tricky, but it sounds like you pulled it off with panache :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495559 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 02:46:37 +0000 Ana 495559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, congratulations on your engagement! That's so exciting! Fabulous outfits, too, of course. ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495554 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 02:42:11 +0000 Refugee 495554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the variety in these outfits. Each it's own distinct look and you have pulled off each one splendidly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495517 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:28:33 +0000 Lantana 495517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Diana. How lucky you are to be part of a big family! You look sensational in your festive outfits. I notice something interesting in the juxtaposition of the thumbnails, ie the Lopore skirt and the Tulle sweater. Could you wear them together? Or is the sweater too bulky? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495512 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:19:16 +0000 Angie 495512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A belated congratulations, Diana! I hear you. I guess the very first thing to accept when you plan a wedding is that it's not just for you and hubs to be - but for your family and friends too. </p> <p>Or you can just elope - which is what my sweetie Greg wanted to do. But I WANTED TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE IN MY DRESS. And that was that :)</p> <p>Keep us posted on your wedding plans, Diana </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495318 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:50:30 +0000 Diana 495318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Yeah, the past few days have been crazy, and I am really glad to be going on a real break now! (My own family is much more low-key, hee.) </p> <p>Angie, I actually got engaged in early September, but we have not really planned anything for the wedding yet (not even a date yet)! (Although my future MIL gave me a wedding planning book for Christmas... hint hint?) I think both of us are a little scared of the whole wedding planning thing what with our gigantic families and all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495299 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:23:53 +0000 Anonymous 495299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tres adorable! I know looking so fab gave you the confidence to get throught all of those events! That's a lot of pressure and a lot of time to be "on". How exciting about your engagement and meeting your new family to be. Get some R&amp;R fab one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495276 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:53:16 +0000 Amy 495276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, you're engaged?

I especially like #4/5. I like the simplicity of the green sweater with the skinny pants and those great booties. Great necklace and belt in #6 and 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495177 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:28:44 +0000 kimlee 495177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely collection of outfits. I think you did an excellent job of choosing looks that were appropriate for the events but still captured your fantastic style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495174 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:25:15 +0000 Makrame 495174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice outfits! I love your skirt (good investment, wasn't it?), the dress with the belt, and it's fun to see the outfits with "my" Born oxfords. I also have the Martins so I am taking notes on the second outfit as well. :)</p> <p>Looks like you had a great weekend party-wise and fashion-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495173 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:20:15 +0000 Diana 495173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit details:</p> <p>12.24.11 -<br /> skirt: Nanette Lepore<br /> top: NY&amp;co<br /> oxfords: Born<br /> necklace: Georg Jensen<br /> bag: Via Spiga<br /> cardigan: Kenneth Cole</p> <p>12.25.11 -<br /> sweater: Tulle<br /> pants: BR Martin<br /> booties: BC<br /> necklaces: Etsy and ???</p> <p>12.26.11 -<br /> dress: Tulle<br /> belt: Anthro<br /> necklace and bracelet: ???<br /> tights: Gap<br /> boots: Sam Edelman </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-three-days-of-holiday-parties#post-495172 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:17:21 +0000 Diana 495172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last three days have a been a crazy whirlwind of one holiday event after another! I've been spending it with my fiance's family, and they take their Christmas VERY SERIOUSLY. So, there have been three parties, two church trips, plus various things at home like present opening, meals, and games. These are mostly not things I do very often or comfortably, so it was important to me to look and feel fab! I was overdressed for much of it but that does not bother me in the least.</p> <p>12.24.11 - a nice Christmas eve lunch at home, followed by games/presents, church service, and Chinese banquet (in celebration of a new baby). This is my awesome Nanette Lepore skirt that I bought years ago and still love (it was probably my first real designer purchase and at the time I thought it was astronomically expensive even though it was on sale). The top is sparkly and the tights have a chevron pattern. Tights look black here, but in some lights they appear dark green. I prefer this outfit without the red cardigan but I was freezing most of the day so the cardi stayed on.</p> <p>12.25.11 - more church, dim sum lunch, hanging out at the house, another Christmas party. I realized with this outfit that apparently I don't have any winter-appropriate high heeled shoes. Here I am wearing my tall platform clog booties, because I really needed some height to balance the proportions of the outfit. </p> <p>12.26.11 - yet another Christmas party. The animal print sash is actually a new belt (there is a brown leather buckle) from Anthro that I turned backwards. I really liked this one although I was kind of cold! Plus a photo without shoes since the house is a no-shoes house so I actually ended up wearing the outfit without shoes most of the day.</p> <p>Anyway, that was my crazy Christmas schedule! I am off to CA this evening for some rest and relaxation. Hope everyone is having a great holiday!</p> <p>(outfit details in the reply, this is long enough already!) </p>
