I saw a lot of booties at my husband's work party, too. Sorry to hear that your shoes were uncomfortable, they look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-810091 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 14:53:49 +0000 nicoleb 810091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful! Sorry about your feet! </p> <p>I've definitely worn opaque black tights to a winter wedding or office Christmas party. It never occurred to me not to when the weather is 20 degrees or lower outside? I don't remember where you live though; maybe it's warmer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-810002 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 05:47:45 +0000 Amy 810002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning. Please replace those shoes though. Your toes deserve TLC </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809999 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 05:36:19 +0000 ManidipaM 809999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh ouch, your poor feet! You look gorgeous though. The bag actually looks well thought-out rather than a last-minute substitution and the pashmina is so beautiful with that striking dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809961 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 04:02:15 +0000 Suz 809961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked terrific, Diana -- perfectly appropriate and lovely. Sorry to hear about the shoes, though. It's awful to have to get through an evening like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809875 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 02:14:16 +0000 Anonymous 809875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked lovely. Sorry about the shoes.i managed to stumble across a model that is awesome for my feet and I bought them in every colour a few years ago. So my fancy shoes all look the same but I know I am covered for hours of walking, standing or dancing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809872 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 02:10:01 +0000 morethanbeige 809872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Sorry about the shoes. I hate that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809856 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:53:10 +0000 Diana 809856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I think I am going to have to find some closed toe dress shoes that I can do something other than sit in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809647 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:59:29 +0000 Nicole D 809647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made a great choice, classic and pretty! I agree with you about the tights - maybe those ladies were cold! I normally choose sheer hose for evening. Painful dress shoes suck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809595 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 22:14:51 +0000 annagybe 809595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great!

I echo your thoughts on the hosery; LBD's look best with nude or no hose (I don't even like black sheer hose). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809574 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:28:07 +0000 Diana 809574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, the opaque black tights with short colored dress always makes me think of Minnie Mouse! Maybe that's why I don't think it's a very sophisticated or dressy look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809570 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:20:08 +0000 Anonymous 809570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked great and I'm sorry about the footsies. About the opaque hose, yes, I'm seeing them back around these parts too, paired with bright skirts or dresses and black pumps or booties. Very Kate Spade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-2#post-809567 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 21:08:23 +0000 Diana 809567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is what I ended up wearing for my fiance's work's holiday party last night. There was some confusion about the dress code (cocktail? business? how formal?), and it showed in that there was a huge range of dressiness at the event. I felt very appropriate and properly dressed in my LBD with blazer and pashmina though. I wanted to take my silver satin clutch but I discovered that it had a busted seam (it's pretty cheap, so I'm not going to fix it but will replace it instead) so I had to use the black patent bag. Grey shoes looked great but I terribly underestimated the amount of standing/walking around that I would be doing and the shoes were SO PAINFUL by the end of the night. They were weirdly crushing the tops of my toes - I think I have bruises now. Sitting shoes for sure. </p> <p>Some general observations: A majority of the women were wearing opaque black tights. To me, this is not a very dressy look and also it just feels kind of old and tired. Don't get me wrong, I like and wear them all the time, but I would never choose to wear them to a dressy event. There were several women wearing boots or heeled booties; although most of the heels were higher than the ones on my booties, I think I could get away with it next time (would be less painful than these heels for sure). Some women were wearing sparkly things, and there were a few in colors (mostly red), but the majority wore black.</p> <p>Evan Picone dress, Nanette Lepore blazer, Naturalizer heels, nude hose from drugstore, Russian silver bracelet from my mom, ??? pashmina, Liz Claiborne purse. </p>
