Proportions are lively. Happy holidays indeed. And why not at work? Lots of good ideas here for making that happen in ways that don't scream party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1871122 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 13:07:03 +0000 RobinF 1871122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! I was looking for something like it for our casual holiday gatherings and didn't find anything. I do think you could wear it to work, especially at this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1871112 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 11:45:48 +0000 unfrumped 1871112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfit!<br /> Of course it depends on your workplace norm, but this metallic appears more subtle and refined than most hence has great potential for wearing multiple ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870669 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:45:10 +0000 shiny 1870669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn - the bubble hem is elastic, but it's fairly loose so not binding or constrictive at all. These tops are self-lined, which is another nice feature as it gives them weight, structure, and I don't need to wear a silk cami underneath for additional warmth. The elastic joins the self lining with the top material at the bottom and gathers it into the bubble shape, if that makes sense. </p> <p>I've tried similar bubble hem tops in the past and they weren't self-lined so they'd hang ....sloppily. Kind of saggy. Plus they'd cling to my belly and exaggerate it, rather than concealing it. The self-lining makes all the difference as the top material just glides over the self-lining and no more clinging. Also other similar tops were just too long! They'd fall at my low hip or even longer than that, then when hiked up to the waist, there'd be too much excess fabric. But this one is petite so it hangs at just right length.&nbsp;</p> <p>This one is a PM as it was the only size left when I was stalking Macy's site for more in this style.&nbsp; It's more generous in the chest and arms, but only just a *tad* longer than the two other ones I have that are in PS. I think either size works for me, just throwing that out there if anyone wants to try these tops: I would caution that Alfani petites do run short -- probably not ideal for petites with a proportionately longer torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870609 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 12:29:31 +0000 Anonymous 1870609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! My kind of outfit. And you could totally wear the top to work with dark jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870578 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:03:18 +0000 rachylou 1870578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870576 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:01:49 +0000 Sisi 1870576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I&nbsp;would absolutely wear that&nbsp;top for work - anything that is flattering, fits well and is no fuss is a big winner for me! It looks like a very versatile item that can be worn with anything.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870574 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 09:25:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 1870574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look smashing and I totally approve of the red sparkly nail polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870565 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 08:03:47 +0000 lyn67 1870565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab in all ways! And to answer your question, YES, I Think! (+ love your floorcarpet:-)) Ah, and I have a question, too. Are the bubble hems on the top done with an elastic or rather somehow cut like it and sraight hemmed? Lovely!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870522 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 04:01:46 +0000 Jaime 1870522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Definitely would work with jeans and oxfords, for example. Why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870454 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 00:28:42 +0000 SarahD8 1870454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic look!</p> <p>I really like <b>tanstaafl's</b> idea of using a scarf to tone down the sparkle for work. I think in that context the sparkly top would read as a pseudo-pattern, and the overall effect would be of a subtle pattern mix -- rather than all the attention being on the top, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870431 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 23:11:10 +0000 Bonnie 1870431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that sparkly bubble hem top - I think I need one.

I think the top would be dressed down with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870415 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 22:36:04 +0000 Chris987 1870415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is great and yes you should definitely try the top with dark wash jeans, simple dark footwear and classic understates jewelry or a scarf in similar tones as a work outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870391 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 21:15:50 +0000 Anonymous 1870391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top - and all around wonderful outfit on you. Really works against your beautiful hair. &nbsp;I find sparkly or tops with 'extra" are ok for work during late Nov and December, but &nbsp;I stop with that in January. &nbsp;Just a personal thing though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870388 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 20:57:57 +0000 tanstaafl 1870388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I meant to say that you look lovely in the photo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870387 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 20:57:02 +0000 tanstaafl 1870387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How sparkly is the top?&nbsp; It doesn't seem that sparkly in the photo, but I know sparkles don't always photograph well.&nbsp; While a blazer would tone it down, it would also cover the lovely sleeves.&nbsp; Maybe the dark wash jeans and a scarf instead of a necklace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870381 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 20:30:17 +0000 Carla 1870381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect festive outfit. The top would certainly transition to work. Too bad about the red coat. How cold is cold? I don't have a sense of the temps where you live, but I understand you live in the city and get about more on foot? A Burberry trench sounds divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870377 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 20:10:35 +0000 Christina F. 1870377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look. I agree with <b>Zibbets</b>' assessment of how you can wear it to work. Jeans and a blazer would do it. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870369 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 19:53:08 +0000 Zibbets 1870369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit and your hair is just beautiful!<br />I think you could definitely wear the top to work, especially in the next couple of weeks. I think you could wear it past then too, maybe with a jacket to tone it down. Is it the sparkle factor that makes it seem not quite right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870364 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 19:41:47 +0000 Anonymous 1870364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks beautiful!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-holiday-party-edition-1#post-1870361 Wed, 20 Dec 2017 19:37:46 +0000 Suz 1870361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty!

I wore them a few times (past Holiday seasons) as they are SUPER comfortable, happy that velvet is so in this year! Lots of stretch to make room for Christmas cookies.&nbsp;</li> <li>Red clutch that my younger daughter bought for me when she was in Italy</li> <li>Silver necklace (old, can't remember where or when I got it)</li> <li>Impo pleather booties (also old)</li> <li>Red lipstick</li> <li>Red sparkly nail polish that my nail salon talked me into trying (I usually don't do sparkles)</li> <li>Not shown: I wore a scarf that matches the clutch. Wish I could've worn my AT red trapeze coat which also matches it, but it was too cold for it so I wore my black Burberry trench instead.</li> </ul> <p>Do you think I could get by wearing the Alfani top to work? If so how would you style it to tone it down? Dark wash jeans? (I can wear jeans at work).&nbsp;</p>
