Post pictures of your "smart casual" wear!

[mehitabel]

Inspired by the smart casual thread and the questions posed therein--a thread where we can post what we'll wear on those nights.

 

I'm still sorting through what I'm likely to bring along, but here are the top contenders:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The yellow and blue skirts are more casual than smart casual, but I threw them in anyway. :)

Those look perfect. I usually wear a patterned knit skirt and top, sundress or black slacks and top on smart casual days.

 

The blue and yellow skirts are definitely more on the casual side but will probably be fine as well.

Well, it's back to a bob now, but thank you! Goodness knows I'll probably cut it again in a fit of boredom.

 

Blitznbobs, I love that dress. What material is it, do you know? I think I personally would wear it on smart casual night regardless, but I'm curious to know.

I won't post pics of myself online, but I'll post some representations of what I might wear.

 

I have a top similar to this, only solid black, love it with jeans or black slacks:

 

I would wear this:

 

I have this, it's on sale now! http://www.travelsmith.com/jump.jsp?itemID=13903&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C250%2C282&iProductID=13903&sortBy=0

 

I have this, reverses to black (the black one) and white print: I also have a few jersey knit dresses that I can't find online since I've had them over a year now. I typically wear short or sleeveless dresses, preferrably to the top of my knee or an inch above. I like scoop neck or deep "V" tops. My 2nd job is one that I wear a lot of dresse for, so I just select from that wardrobe. If I buy anything for a cruise (exception, cocktail dresses for formal evenings), it must fit into my real life wardrobe.

 

OK some of the links didn't work, so I'll try to change them.

I don't know but I bought it from a high street shop in the UK called 'Wallis'

Thank you! It was a 1970s skirt that I found at Goodwill and repurposed into a maxidress, and I wear it all the time!

Mehitabel -- thanks for starting this thread! I think both the black/white skirts you have would be perfect? But I will wait to see others' comments because lord knows I am no good at this.

 

 

Here's a dress I have that I love to bring traveling. I have it in a different color (cranberry). In its reviews I frequently see people say that they dress it up or down according to the occasion -- and some people had even worn it to weddings. What do you think -- can it be dressed up enough for smart casual? I would love it if it can, because it washes and dries so fast and it's so comfy.

[mehitabel]

I think that can absolutely be smart casual, especially with a nice pair of shoes and some understated jewelry. Looks comfy, too!

[poppan]

Happy ks, are these the dresses you were thinking of -- just to make sure we are all looking at the same items.

 

I really love this black one that you linked to, and at $19 (!) I might have to buy it online without trying it on. I normally hate doing that especially with dresses because sometimes they don't fit right on me. I also love that it's apparently made in a quick wash/dry fabric.

 

 

 

And is this the reversible one you have, only it reverses to a black and white pattern?

[Kinkacruiser]

Nice classic lines..very suitable in my opinion. A reversible dress is a great idea for cruises....two dresses for half the space. An enterprising fashion house could make a killing with these.
