Take 2-what to wear to Mardi Gras Engagement Party

Thanks to everyones feedback on this other thread,
http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....mardi-gras,

I decided I better take a few more photos with the top in #1 unbelted and the back of #2 which received the most votes, but once you see the rear view your opinions will surely change...

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me. This is an important event for me and our family I want to feel good when I look back at the photos someday.

1 and 2) Silk blouse with the belt as a necklace! front and back view

3 and 4)Berry cardigan front and back view

5 and 6)Cream blouse, belted, front and back (one sleeve is pulled up with a button tab-not sure what you call that type of sleeve!)

I like 1 and 5 the best! The berry colored blouse is so pretty with the gold jeans. Both look great from the front and back! I love the easy elegance of both of these--polished but not fussy.

Thanks, Kelly! I think 1 is my favorite as well, but outfit 3-4 won the popular vote on my other thread. I decided I had better post the rear view because I'm just not that confident in the look from behind. Angie still gives it a thumbs up, so I am sort of torn. Thought I'd throw another option out, glad you think that works, too!

Also especially like #4. Maybe it is the shorter length with the cropped pants length?

A vote for 1/2! You look great in pics, of course. Impeccable taste, great fit.

I like #1 and #5 for a dressier look (sleeves up, but again no belt), and #4 is a great casual option. You can't go wrong with any of these

#1!!

But the back view of #4 is excellent and it is also a great outfit, so you should go with the one of these you feel best in. Just what I said this morning!

#1/2!

But 3/4 is great, too.

Still love #1 for this event - all the others look great too so now you have some options with those pants!

You ladies are the best! What would I do with you? Thanks everyone for helping me sort this out. Looks like the votes are leaning to 1/2 on this thread (3/4 on the other) so I guess I can't go wrong with either.

Making my big Gumbo pot today and looking forward to getting the party started:)

Let the good times roll!
