But how about the whether in your country? I am wondering if the weather is cold, to wear this skirt will feel cold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1121361 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 05:45:42 +0000 Hil 1121361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh oh - I just popped in and saw there was a party going on and realised I had to join! I will be wearing this gorgeous white Helmut Lang dress which will show off my holiday tan with impossibly high gunmetal grey shoes that I shall kick off in order to party hard. </p> <p>The only thing I'm not sure about are the accessories? Maybe just dangly earrings. </p> <p>For food, I will bring a pot of my Butter Chicken with some fragrant rice. Must be careful not to spill anything on the white dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1119615 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 19:23:05 +0000 Beth Ann 1119615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit sounds amazing!&nbsp; Put your guitar in the library when you arrive, but not too close to the fireplace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1119535 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 17:03:01 +0000 JulieJohn 1119535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally late to the YLF party, but that's the nice thing about virtual parties, one is never really late! And it's always "fashionably" late, right?</p> <p>Beth Ann - what a cool outfit and a fun thread to read! You look appropriately dramatic for the season and the occasion, as well as comfy and luxurious.</p> <p>Since it's a fantasy party, I will be wearing the silver v-neck wrap sweater that I don't have yet. It is currently gift-wrapped under the tree. And a cheery plaid midi skirt, with a big black grosgrain bow at my waist. Red velvet smoking slippers. I'll bring balsamic-glazed chicken drumsticks and my guitar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116976 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 03:40:28 +0000 Beth Ann 1116976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy:&nbsp; A party couldn't be complete without some KC barbeque!&nbsp; My years at KU taught me that no one does it better!</p> <p>Una:&nbsp; Never played blackjack, but I'm fascinated --- particularly by you and Jayne together.&nbsp; Sounds dangerous!</p> <p>L'abeille:&nbsp; With an outfit like that, you must reprise your jazz solo!</p> <p>AviaMariah:&nbsp; Cashmere and Coconut Cake -- such a winning combination!</p> <p>Windchime:&nbsp; What the use of having a party without adding new friends to the mix!&nbsp; Of course you're welcome!&nbsp; I'll have to check out the animal print shirt at AT!</p> <p>Vicki:&nbsp; I can't wait to see that dress -- and grab the brie from your hand at the door!</p> <p>Echo:&nbsp; This skirt does have a bit of a retro classic vibe, which I'm loving this year.&nbsp; I bet you'd find the look easier to wear than you think!</p> <p>Diana:&nbsp; LOVE the idea of a gold capelet, and I've already admired that skirt!&nbsp; Hubby is welcome (cause bow ties are cool), and I think I'll have him mix martinis in the library, by the fire!</p> <p>Vipanchi:&nbsp; Newbies are absolutely welcome!&nbsp; As the song goes:&nbsp; "Make new friends, but keep the old!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116960 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 03:31:04 +0000 Tanya 1116960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not know how I missed this but you look stunning Beth Ann. that skirt is gorgeous.&nbsp; Off to decide what I would wear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116956 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 03:29:31 +0000 vipanchi 1116956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woah!

But I brought drinks, and I cannot say enough fabulous things about the peacock skirt! Peacocks are my favourite animal ever (I have a Christmas tree devoted entirely to peacocks), and this skirt is so beautifully done and looks fantastic on you. It very much reminds me of the post Angie just made about the long skirt and turban - so fashion-forward and classic all at the same time. LOVE this outfit, and I so wish I either had the figure or the courage to pull of such an outfit myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116745 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 23:41:23 +0000 Vicki 1116745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the party still going on? &nbsp;Great idea! &nbsp;Peacocks do party after midnight, right? &nbsp;Because, they should, looking as gorgeous as you do, Beth Ann. &nbsp;Love the blue and black combination and the maxi look for party time.</p> <p>I'm at the door with warm brie smothered in apricot preserves and sliced almonds and wearing my new Tory Burch blue and green print&nbsp;dress (to be posted later this week) so I can match you, like birds of a feather! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116732 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 23:28:51 +0000 Windchime 1116732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, your skirt is gorgeous! All eyes (and ears) will be on you, for sure.</p> <p>I'm still fairly new to the YLF community, but may I come to the party, too? I'll wear my real life recently-bought Ann Taylor black animal print shirt and the elegant black silk track pants with cuffed ankles which exist large in my imagination.

In the other hand I'll carry freshly-made Dutch banket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116726 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 23:16:09 +0000 AviaMariah 1116726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to wear a pair of&nbsp;perfectly fitting, fluid trousers with a subtle pattern that I will magically find before the party, a black cashmere turtle neck, lots of bling around my neck and some sky high silver pumps that will magically be comfortable all night long. &nbsp;I will bring a gluten free&nbsp;"Almost Famous Coconut Cake" that is made by a local chef and is the best cake you have ever tasted; gluten free or not. &nbsp;I'll bring DH. &nbsp;If he's had enough bubbly he'll help sing. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116712 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:53:54 +0000 L'Abeille 1116712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be wearing what I wore to our Christmas party (and to sing one number with DH's jazz band)--black shirt, black casualish pleated maxi skirt, gold glitter tank overtop as a vest, patent cap-toe ballet flats.</p> <p>And I'll be bringing the mulled cider for wassail... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1116708 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 22:50:35 +0000 catgirl 1116708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt!

The skirt is fabulous. You know I am overcoming my aversion to prints. I already know I would not have picked this print&nbsp;for myself if left to my own devices. I love blues purples and teals.&nbsp;You are&nbsp;SERIOUSLY making me&nbsp;reconsider my aversion to bold prints. This is dramatic but not overly so. It definitely fits the opera diva vibe. I love this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww----to-the-ylf-holiday-party/page/2#post-1115879 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 01:41:20 +0000 Angie 1115879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pppssssst....Beth Ann....I made you an extra batch to tuck away for the family post party.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope we're playing Duran Duran at the bash.
