Layering for NYC

saviles14

"How can I layer fashionably for warmth in NYC? I grew up in FL and this is my first ACTUAL winter. I have the essential calf-length heavy coat to go on top of everything, but it's the layers under the coat where I'm stuck. I feel like I'm in a rut with jeans and a sweater. Help! (5'10", fit/slender figure, 20s)"

Shoes for Southern California Wedding

Bonnieaha

"My son is getting married Sept. 8 in southern California. I will be wearing a floor length dress, chocolate brown from the waist down, beaded from the waist up in the colors of silver, gold, champagne, dark brown, etc. I would like to wear gold or tan shoes (or a pair that incorporates both colors). Is this appropriate after Labor Day and/or do you think I should go with a chocolate brown shoe. Would brown look better as the dress is brown from the waist down? (I plan for it to be a dressy sandal either way.)"

Masquerade Prom

mickey

"In a few weeks I'll be attending a masquerade prom at my university. I was going to wear Libellula Italian Mask and Gianna’s Limited Edition Leather and Lace Gown from Free People. I love the dress because it is bold, sexy, elegant, formal for a prom night yet suitable to for everyday wear once layered with a cute jacket or sweater. However, the dress is no longer available and I have no idea what to wear now. Please help me find the perfect dress that would also go with the mask."

Outdoor Spring Wedding

carolinecurtin

I'm going to my cousin's outdoor wedding this spring. It's going to be in the late afternoon/evening - so I assume I'll need some sort of cover up. The wedding is not that formal, and I would prefer a short dress. Do you have any options for a cute dress and jacket combination?

Dress for a Florida Wedding

TrishCE

I have a wedding in Florida in late February and I need a dress for the ceremony and rehearsal dinner. I am used to being more covered at this time of year and don't feel ready to be bare legged quite yet, but I would like to dress weather appropriate. I am a size 12, curvy (small waist, ample bust/rear), and would prefer not to be strapless. I also have these shoes below that could be used as inspiration, but not mandatory."
