No 1 stands out to me as particularly gorgeous. You look so amazing in that blouse - love the colors and the pattern on you. I am with Brooklyn about adding the jacket to the look too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party/page/2#post-2197746 Tue, 25 May 2021 19:24:43 +0000 bj1111 2197746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fiiiiiive </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party/page/2#post-2197654 Tue, 25 May 2021 13:19:01 +0000 smittie 2197654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 (black pants) and 5 (dark dress) would be my picks for indoors.<br /> Very nice all around though, Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197645 Tue, 25 May 2021 11:58:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2197645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blazers do not say “comfy” or “ready to party” to me. I’d say 5 without the blazer (add a different topper if it’s chilly) or 3. I like 2 a lot, but maybe for a different occasion. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197621 Tue, 25 May 2021 09:39:52 +0000 Zaeobi 2197621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #3 would be nice with either black shoes (if you wanted to keep it sleek) or a pop of colour (if you wanted to make it fun - maybe yellow or pink?) </p> <p>I like #5 but agree with Shevia that the blazer feels a bit formal - I think it's the combination of the dark colour with the double breasted military inspired buttons that makes it feel more work than play. But if it feels right for you, then go for it! Don't forget to have fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197606 Tue, 25 May 2021 06:55:16 +0000 Sally 2197606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look good but I really like number 3.&nbsp; It is really stylish and suits you.&nbsp; I also like 5 a lot too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197522 Mon, 24 May 2021 19:55:03 +0000 CarolS 2197522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the rock'n'roll vibe of #2 in particular.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197516 Mon, 24 May 2021 19:35:57 +0000 rachylou 2197516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and 5 say party... esp 5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197493 Mon, 24 May 2021 17:56:08 +0000 Suz 2197493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great looks, but my vote is for 1, 3, or 5, somewhat depending on weather. (As usual, with me, LOL.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197481 Mon, 24 May 2021 17:21:19 +0000 Liesbeth 2197481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely use the occasion to wear the black and white dress out! It looks fab and if ready to party means there may be dancing, you'll probably run hot anyways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197463 Mon, 24 May 2021 15:09:17 +0000 Laurie 2197463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NUMBER FIVE!

I think you could add your jacket in #2. And I like it with the sneakers! Or try #1 with the black blazer in #5 and the bag in #3 or #5 to repeat the black in the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197407 Mon, 24 May 2021 08:40:50 +0000 Sisi 2197407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote # 3. Very elegant. I would add some bling at the neck and ... elegant shoes, please! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197406 Mon, 24 May 2021 08:32:15 +0000 Star (Lise) 2197406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it is at night I prefer 3, afternoon 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197398 Mon, 24 May 2021 07:04:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 2197398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first choice is Look 3 but Look 5 is a close second. Then Look 2, with Looks 1 and 4 last-equal in my book for this particular event. But then I think my choices sort of go from most dressy to least in order of preference, which is of course my default.<br /> So great that people can catch up on parties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197382 Mon, 24 May 2021 05:06:18 +0000 Anonymous 2197382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casting another vote for #5, you look lovely, casually festive and approachable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197381 Mon, 24 May 2021 04:56:44 +0000 Bijou 2197381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 gets my vote - you look elegantly casual but also festive - I love the dress and sneaker combination. I like to err on the side of being 'dressed up' particularly for special occasions and think most dressy items can be 'styled down'. I would like to see you try to style down the David Pond dress you bought with sneakers and a casual topper. The main way I style down my dresses is to wear with either a leather or denim jacket and my footwear choices - so for me that is usually wearing a boot or sneaker.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197361 Mon, 24 May 2021 03:15:55 +0000 Sal 2197361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Echo:)</p> <p>Firecracker - I probably won't take the jacket off (the dress is a bit barer than I feel comfortable in right now.....) but who know of course once the party starts.....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197360 Mon, 24 May 2021 03:14:16 +0000 slim cat 2197360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #5 but all are very nice options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197359 Mon, 24 May 2021 03:12:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2197359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great possibilities. I especially like #5. You can take off the blazer when the party heats up. To me, it's good occasion to wear a dress, and you've toned that one down for the occasion nicely with the sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197354 Mon, 24 May 2021 02:36:09 +0000 Echo 2197354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love looks 2 and 5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197352 Mon, 24 May 2021 02:16:08 +0000 Sal 2197352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Chewy Spaghetti - I will.</p> <p>Cheers Anne - that was my original thought too.</p> <p>Shevia- I could be more casual, there will be a full range from some really stylish fashionable types, to jeans and sneakers.&nbsp; I want to look a bit party and not "work" but effectively the photos are mostly of "work" looks.&nbsp; I figure hair, jewelry and makeup can go a bit more party though.</p> <p>Thanks Kelly - I think any of these would be fine too.&nbsp; The advantage of WIW photos is that I feel I have tried these out previously and evaluated them already!!</p> <p>Cat2 - yes I could do that.&nbsp; This dress is one of my favourites but I do wonder if it feels a bit spring/summer.&nbsp; Although that could be because today is blustery and very autumnal!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197351 Mon, 24 May 2021 02:05:40 +0000 cat2 2197351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to wear the shirt dress, how about popping it over a tank and then unbuttoning it a bit? That might give it a more casual vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wsiw-friday-night-party#post-2197348 Mon, 24 May 2021 01:56:13 +0000 kellygirl 2197348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great options here! I think it depends on how “dressy” you want to be. The blazer looks very smart but I love 3 and 5 for a casual party. Dressed up but not too much. Have fun—any of these will be fantastic! </p>
