I like # 11 and maybe with the red shoes !</p> <p>Love the flow and sparkle of the pants.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding/page/2#post-1536196 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 16:11:22 +0000 Alyssa 1536196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of these outfits is bad.&nbsp; My first choice seems to run with the consensus, the 9-11 pants outfit; my second choice is the black suit posted in the replies; my third choice would be the 1-3 dress, but it could become my second choice with the red bag and red shoes, if you wore white or neutral nylons.&nbsp; I'll explain why throughout this post.&nbsp; The other two are also nice, again with the same choice in shoes / bag / hosiery, but the other options will allow you to not have to wear a jacket inside.</p> <p>I normally think of lighter colors and pastels for a wedding; all of your dresses are black, but the red shoes and bag with neutral or white hose with any of the dresses will provide some color, enough to counteract the solid black look.&nbsp; Black shoes and bag, especially if you wear black nylons, would be too much black when wearing a dress.&nbsp; Does that make sense?</p> <p>Even though the pantsuit is black, it still looks a little more "upbeat", for lack of a better word, even with black shoes, than an all black dress outfit, which is why that is my second choice, especially with the white top under the jacket, even better if the ends of the sleeves could show beyond the jacket sleeves, but not a problem if the top sleeves aren't long enough.&nbsp; Also, I would wear neutral (or no) stockings with the black shoes, definitely not black.&nbsp; I do like the black shoes as pictured, as the red shoes may stick out with black pants.</p> <p>This leads me to the 9-11 outfit as my first choice, with the black shoes (rather than the red) as photographed, for the same reason as previously mentioned, with neutral or no stockings.&nbsp; The pattern and the shimmer has a "fun" look (as weddings are supposed to be) and also breaks up the all black look.</p> <p>I hope you have a good time.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding/page/2#post-1526217 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 06:20:41 +0000 Deborah 1526217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoC thank you! &nbsp;I feel the same way about the dress in #1. &nbsp;I am debating if I need to have alterations done or not and I have a friend who makes wonderful fabric and metal collars and we are thinking of wearing one with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1526195 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:22:04 +0000 Cococat 1526195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think no 1 looks spectacular on you and I don't think that anything else will equal it in my eyes. :-)</p> <p>I didn't realise that those yummy shoes were Wittner. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1526131 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 01:30:54 +0000 Helena 1526131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness woman, you have such amazing clothes!

I'm am often "overdressed" for most things:). It irritates me a little as I love seeing people make an effort and looking good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525828 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 16:18:01 +0000 Echo 1525828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #7 as well. The pants are fab, but I am not sure I'd want to be overdressed for the engagement and potentially underdressed (at least in the sense that few will be wearing pants) for the wedding. If a person were to err, I'd err the other way (more casual to engagement and overdressed to the wedding).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525753 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:35:02 +0000 Diana 1525753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #11. I like the back detail on 6 a lot though, but it sounds like it'll be too cold to show it. </p> <p>I think the black dresses are fine for a wedding and have worn them myself; however, I do think black dresses are better for evening, more formal weddings and not for an afternoon or outdoor event. You didn't say specifically but it sounds like this is not going to be a super fancy wedding? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525749 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:27:36 +0000 Sara L. 1525749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #11 and the versions with the dresses with the white jacket.&nbsp; I think the jacket keeps the outfits from being too dark for a wedding.&nbsp; I see black at weddings all the time so I don't think black is inappropriate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525732 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:13:42 +0000 Angie 1525732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #7 with the red shoes best. I love the way the dress fits. But will you be warm enough, Debs? I think another jacket might be nicer than the white.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm eager to know what "comforting to the cultural norm" at an Oz wedding is all about.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525718 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:51:02 +0000 Carla 1525718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes...will second Shevia. I've noticed in a few recent posts that fit is becoming an issue. You are shrinking, aren't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525713 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:40:34 +0000 Anonymous 1525713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the trousers, with either jacket. Though I, too, have a bit of a preference for the white one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525678 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:55:23 +0000 Jaime 1525678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to say #11, and ask delicately if it is possible the first dress is too big for you now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525662 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:39:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1525662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going on pure first-glance-gut-reaction, I'm swooning over that last outfit with the trousers and white jacket. Positively GORGEOUS on you!!! It's appropriate, sleek, elegant, unique and oh so flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525651 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:23:48 +0000 donnat 1525651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I love those pants. I think any combo 9 thru 11. The other dresses are lovely too, but that pant is stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525629 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:48:12 +0000 Aquamarine 1525629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1 and 9, but I don't think you can go wrong. I think 1 is so you and so elegant...I would have no problem wearing black to a wedding. I also love 9 because it is different and the pants are festively elegant too. I like the white topper less. At my wedding many moons ago, a relative wore a stunning black pantsuit and she stood out in a good way from the sea of colored, floral dresses (this was in the 80s). I still remember her outfit and often think how timeless it was/is and how undated she alone looks in the photos. Interestingly enough, she has your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525614 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:09:05 +0000 Carla 1525614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 with the red shoes would be the conventional choice, but I really, really, really, like #11. Love the trousers! </p> <p>FWIW, I'm still crushing over your pink top from 5 days or so ago. Is this something that would work with the silvery grey of the bottoms.</p> <p>Also, hair is looking super fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525597 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 10:17:24 +0000 Helen11 1525597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial thought was 4, then the more I look, the more I like 11. The White jacket seems to lift the colour in the pants. I think they are definitely dressy enough for a wedding, especially if it's cold. However, as you already know, all the outfits look good! You only need decide which is the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525588 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 10:01:16 +0000 Cococat 1525588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are 1-3 because this look seems more you. I also like the black shoes with the unusual chunky heel.</p> <p>I like the others too. Any of the looks would be fab for a wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wtw-to-a-wedding#post-1525578 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:39:10 +0000 lyn67 1525578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is nr 10, if the event &nbsp;is less formal! Gorgeous patterned ankle pants, and top! But you cannot go wrong with any of these(still, &nbsp;I would leave the maxi from nr 1-3 for a dressier event!). The &nbsp;white &nbsp;drapey jacket is really gorgeous with all and both shoes are great with both the dresses... Not much of a help, isn't it?:-(( I would wear the smaller green clutch, also-to not clash:-)</p>
