I think your outfit ideas are great.</p> <p>I am a US citizen who became British a few years back; my town hall was quite warm although it was winter -- so I vote take off the jacket for photos as I love the red dress and the scarf.</p> <p>Enjoy the ceremony. I did and my husband &amp; son took me out for fish &amp; chips after to celebrate. My top tip get a passport immediately short queues on both sides of the Atlantic and in most European countries. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-western-style-booties-be-totally-weird#post-879559 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 16:58:46 +0000 lyn67 879559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Mander, I just checked out your previous thread! Now, that's absolutely gorgeous(outfit nr 3) but I like the nr 1, too:-)). Good job on the red dres, and the jackets. I'm in awe about your ideea with the union jack scarf, and the striped knit jacket has some potential, too-I would try it with sleeves scrunched, for a more relaxed look, and maybe then the shoulders will stay in a better place, too. I think black opaques will do the job, too, but I would stick to mary janes, maybe you can change from booties to them before the ceremony? Oh, and congrats on your new citizenship! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-western-style-booties-be-totally-weird#post-879493 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 12:23:59 +0000 Karie 879493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the tights will look fine with the dress. As for the booties, I'd like to see of pic of them. If you switch purses and bring a bigger purse, you could wear walking shoes, slip them off and put them in your purse, then put on your dress shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-western-style-booties-be-totally-weird#post-879479 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 11:47:30 +0000 Thistle 879479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pics would really help me as I am having a hard time visualizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-western-style-booties-be-totally-weird#post-879470 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 10:57:22 +0000 Mander 879470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, you may recall my citizenship ceremony outfit possibilities:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimw-citizenship-ceremony-kr-knit-blazer" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nit-blazer</a></p> <p>The weather forecast is for snow, and the venue is a 10-minute walk from the train station, so I am thinking about swapping my Mary Jane heels for some ankle boots. The ones that would work best are a bit like the ones in the photo except the soles are black. Would they look bizarre with a red dress and a houndstooth jacket? </p> <p>Also, I bought some sheer black hose but if it's really cold I am tempted to wear fleece lined tights. Would opaque black look bad with the outfit?</p> <p>I'll take some sample pics later today when I'm done cleaning house. </p>
