W is being crazy so this won't explain all. We have a Christmas office party at a fancy steak place. H is now a boss so I have to look presentable. He will be giving a speech and I have to schmooze with his workers and the big bosses. These are both sleeveless so I'll need something to wear over my arms. Pdq because I think I look awful. I also have a pencil skirt and pants I'll try on tonight.
I also have different colored tights (grey, wine, purple, teal). I will need shoes.

Of the two my vote is for the first one (green/black). I love the side detail and it really defines your figure! I would look for a fun pair of black booties with that outfit and yellow gold jewelry. I love getting dressed up fancy!!

I like the top one better. While I love the color of the blue, the cut off the top one is fantastic. I would maybe do grey tights instead of the black, agree with a black bootie. The cardigan you wore I would base on your accessories. You need a little flash. So if accessories, like a layered or long necklace then I would wear a black cardigan. If you weren't really going to do much jewelry then I would wear a metallic cardigan to add the flash.
The top one is grey and black and it's my favorite too although a bit short. Glad I'm taking you with me tomorrow ampaints because yes to your answer. Andplusalso I have no idea about these things.
Maybe a bright cardigan. I like the teals as a rule but I could do something different. I don't have booties. I usually wear flats as H is much shorter than me but he doesn't care if I wear heels so I may be able to find something tomorrow.

Oh! That black dress is nice! With a shrug, not black tights, either hose or maybe grey tights, and a heel. That dress needs a heel. Do you have any pashminas? I have a few pretty ones I'll bring tomorrow. Maybe tights with a slight shimmer...

My legs are covered in bruises so sparkly tights or grey ones would probably be best. I'll bring my heels tomorrow. I have 2 black pair (neither are super comfy but I don't plan in walking much). I do not have a pashmina. And I admit I had to look that up.
packmomma I have already found 4, I think there's another one around here as well. I think I know which one you'll gravitate towards, but there's one I might try to push on you 😀
I really like the first dress you posted (grey/black). It looks great on you. Pair it with some nice shoes, jewelry, and a shrug or cardi and you're all set!
Ok so we went shopping and found some black booties that worked with the black and grey dress so I'm going with that one. I'm going ti pair it with merit colored tights and the teal cardigan. Will post pics once the baby isn't sleeping on me.
The merlot tights are ribbed so I might need other ones. Lane bryant ' s selection wasn't very big when I looked today and I already had these. I'm not sure how I feel about the outfit. Input is appreciated.
I would do the color of the cardigan or the tights but probably not both! Did you say you have grey tights? Maybe those if you want to keep the teal cardigan. Just my opinion though!
I feel ya esgrunner. I'm not sure what's making me unsure about the outfit. Last time I wore this dress I felt bad ass but I was also wearing a leather jacket. I think tomorrow morning I'll run to target and see what I can get regarding tights and/or a cardigan.
How do we feel about the shoes? They're a completely new style to me. Argh. I hate being so unsure of myself. Maybe it's because this feels like so much pressure to look a certain way because of my new role. I don't know guys. Help me out. ampaints maybe I should just do the flow black dress and those black pumps.
In other news I think I'm going to get this haircut tomorrow. It won't be much shorter in front but much shorter in back. I think it will work well with the semi wave I have and the amount of hair I have.
The dress is great. I would definitely go with black tights. I don't care for the merlot colored tights and I think the combination of those with the booties cuts you off at the ankle. Black tights with black heels would be great.
For the sweater, you might want to try something a little shorter in order to better highlight your waistline and hourglass figure. You could go with a black sweater. Even better if you can find one with some embellishment to it. Either that or jazz it up with jewelry.
I love the haircut. I think it would look great with dangly earrings like in the picture.
aydee maybe that's what it is!! The color of the tights makes my legs look stubby. I was looking at the picture and was like "damn usually I think I look fierce in this dress but it's just not working". I think the dimensions are off in the sweater and the color blocking of the tights makes my legs look stubby!! You just helped me figure it out!! Thank you. I feel like I have a good idea of how to rock this look again.
I agree with aydee to go with black tights. I would also suggest no cardigan, and maybe just a black wrap of sorts. I love the dress and adding some bling will be great! I can't wait to see the final reveal! Also the black dress is super flattering too. Plus wouldn't need a sweater, but I would probably try to find a chunky silver necklace with that one, something like this maybe
