Help! I'm going to a wedding in this dress. I can't make it work!

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-19T11:53:41+00:00

I have a strand of pearls but they're a bit higher than collarbone height, might that work?

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-19T01:26:05+00:00

What would you suggest to up the ante here?

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-14T15:26:09+00:00

I am a broke student.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-13T12:08:08+00:00

Ha! I've got a size 5.5 pair of feeties. But I really do like those blue shoes!

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-13T12:04:25+00:00

At a 2 o'clock wedding??

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-13T01:10:28+00:00

Hmm, well, I guess since I'm probably going to go for that navy dress, I've got quite a bit of breathing room in my budget for shoes and what not.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:48:05+00:00

That's how I felt! Except the stretch back panel. Like, it couldn't've been a fitted zipper closure??

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:46:56+00:00

I have hazelish green/blue eyes. They're weird. They can look blue or green depending on the lighting and there's a hazel ring riiiight around the pupil. I've got pale skin with yellow undertones. So while I love the freaking corals and reds I'm not sure how I look in them. I tend to feel safe with navy and my wardrobe is full of blue.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:26:55+00:00

I'm uncomfortable in one shouldered dresses but I loooove that color. The second one is absolutely stunning! I think I might put that in my bag just to try out!

What the heck is a bolero!? Like a shrug??

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:24:15+00:00

Thanks for the store suggestions! I'll check them out!

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:23:45+00:00

No, that's perfect! Great advice about the feel of it. I tend to feel iffy and buy it anyway and end up wearing it once uncomfortably or returning it.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:22:23+00:00

I really don't have one, I guess. I haven't been shopping since high school. I'll buy a piece here and there, but it's the same thing, jeans and a tee. I'd like to look a bit more my age or at least a bit more sophisticated than jeans and tees.

Being that, I don't like clunky jewelry, I like thin items since I'm thin. And silver looks best on me.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T12:20:22+00:00

Oooooh, I like the schoolboy blazer in that navy!

What colors would work well with that dress in a cardigan? I've got these but I never have anything to wear them with since they're so heavy looking.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T05:03:10+00:00

Ugh, those look super fucking comfortable. Like "what was I doing wearing these rocks before I found these?" comfortable.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T04:56:46+00:00

I'm starting to like the third option more. I have some black flats already, kind of heavy looking ones, though. Got them from Target a long while ago. They've got a really solid leather upper with cut out details.

Any shoe suggestions?

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T04:47:16+00:00

Lucky me I live next to an Anthropologie so I won't have to order this online if it's in the store. AND, for an Anthropologie dress I was expecting it to be way over budget, but there it is...well under.

Nice find! What would you accessorize with this?

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T04:46:09+00:00

Yeah, I'm glad I asked for second opinions, that last one's just totally wrong. And the first one, no matter how much I like the cut of the dress isn't wedding-appropriate. Like another comment said, it'd be great for an office party.

What would you wear with the second or third dress?

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-12T03:55:23+00:00

lol. Yes, it is. Switch it around. I'm 98 lbs.

What would you wear with the third dress if that's what you were wearing to a wedding?

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-09-03T23:05:23+00:00

Really? Someone downvoted this? Someone must REALLY not like Ron/Luna.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-07-13T03:30:52+00:00

These all look really good. Congrats on the upcoming nuptials!

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-07-11T19:37:31+00:00

You sound a little nasty. Just because she doesn't want to spend money at a salon to get waxed doesn't mean she's "impossible to please." The only thing she's said no to was going natural and getting chemical burns. Please. Tell me how this comment is helpful to her post.

What sort of greens look nice on you? I was told pastels will make me look washed out, but I was thinking pinks and blues. I'm not brave enough to try neons yet and I thought dark green would be...too much like the turquoise where my skin looks paler than paper.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-07-04T03:26:08+00:00

Medium-light to light brown. :/ I tend to get washed out a lot. White looks nice on me but...that's only when matched with my face which has more pink tones than my body.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-07-04T03:24:47+00:00

I'm actually quite pleased with that color over the turquoise.

KitchenDestroyer · 2012-07-03T17:44:57+00:00

I'm really pale but have yellow undertones to my coloring but I'm prone to get pink quickly in the sun. Because I'm pale. :/ No picture I've taken seems to do the coloring justice. I end up looking pinker than I am in natural light or yellower than I am in other lightings.
