Special Occasion/Dress Up Favorites (3/21/23)...

Since I couldn't post my Fashion Favorites this week (they went poof into cyberspace), I thought I'd clear out my Special Occasion/Dress Up stash. Hope you enjoy.

As with the regular Fashion Favorites thread and as always, thank you so much for your comments on these threads. I read them all and especially enjoy reading why you like an outfit or why you don't and how you might tweak an outfit, or what individual pieces you like.

@MacDuFF @Thanks! I'm attending a formal event next year and your gave me some ideas!

 

number 1 is Beautiful. If I had her curves....

number 3 I really like, I would like in a different color. White is not my best in a dress.

number 19 brought back wonderful memories! My mom had a coat almost identical to that one. As a little girl I loved to pet the collar!

 

thank you for sharing!

This one appeals to me also. 

 

My special occasion attire consists of "dressy" black pants and various black tops and three black dresses (one is maxi) .... and a big assortment of colorful jackets that will fit the occasion.

This fashion line up was a big hit for me!!!!  I loved the following, 1,2,3,8,13.17,18,19 and last but not least 20!!!!  I guess I could say I love elegance and dressy fashions.  I don't wear fancy any more but I do appreciate seeing what is in style.  Thanks for the show!

#20 is the only one I could see myself wearing.  I would wear it with black shoes or boots and a black bag.   (and of course some big earrings!!)   It says "winter" to me, very conservative style but it's just lovely.

Some beautiful looks here, MacDuff.  Thanks so much for posting them.  My favorites are 8, 11 (I think the top needs to be taken in slightly and I LOVE the bag but not with this dress), 17 and 18.

Perfect black dress that will remain in style for years.  Yes, to the shoes and handbag.
