Help a girl out.

Friday, October 21, 2005

Indulge me for about 5 minutes more on this issue of the wedding dress. I decided that the red polka dotted dress isn't the way to go. Yes too red, too summery, too tea-time at the Ritz and not evening city wedding in autumn.  SO. I hit the mall again with my mother and after finding nothing at the big name department stores, I came up with something pretty decent at Anthropologie. Anthro always comes through.

The woman on fitting room duty told my mom that that skirt reminds her of s3x & the city. I'm pretty sure my mom has never heard of that show, so in her mind some stranger just told her that the dress her daughter is wearing reminds her of secks. I was laughing in the fitting room.

  

Exhibit A               Exhibit B

But which outfit? Exhibit A is the flouncy brown skirt with its lovely coral silk sash, with a sequined tank top. Exhibit B is the skirt without the sash, paired with - look! - Butterfly.  Mom and Duck have already put their vote in, but I can't decide. I love that sash, but can't wear it with Butterfly. Also it might be too party party. Decisions decisions.

Help. Which do you prefer?

Are first time posters allowed to vote?

I like both, but the sash makes A for me.

Exhibit A. I think the sash makes it more flattering. Without the sash you look a little waist-less. Of course, as I look again I see that you're standing a little differently in the pictures too, and the straight-on pose might be what's actually eliminating your waist. So I guess I'm no help.

Definitely A. You loose your figure in B and no one should go and loose their figure.

I'll have to say A as well. Butterfly is absolutely stunning, but you're lost in its length, and the skirt doesn't do it justice.

As much as I want to see Butterfly go to a wedding, outfit A just works better.

My vote is for Exhibit A.
Friday, October 21, 2005 4:18:53 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
I'm going to have to go with the consensus - Exhibit A. That sash is great, and I think it makes the outfit pop.

I also agree with the masses. Flaunt that sash, girl!

Yep, it's A. But, we do want to see butterfly again soon - as it is so pretty. Have fun at your wedding!

From the photos, A has got to be the choice. Everything looks pulled together, just right. However, I'm thinking B would look more fabulous, if you go without the shawl. Sort of flapper girl like.

A!! definitely!

exibit A. yes, we LOVE butterfly, but not for this event, or combination.
i think butterfly would look smashing if you went with a monochromatic look --- just mixing up the textures.

Here's another vote for A!
Friday, October 21, 2005 7:54:57 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
A-nother vote for A.
Friday, October 21, 2005 8:42:13 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
Exhibit A. No question. It looks so well put together. I think that skirt is too much competition with Butterfly. Have fun!!

I agree with Erin, if you do without the shawl, B does look flapper-girl like. And I happen to prefer that outfit too. Perhaps you can dress it up with different accessories or add a pearl string belt, loosely tied with a flower pin in the knot? Your Butterfly is so beautiful that it must be shown off :-) Or maybe a different more structured skirt... but that will take you back to square 1, eh?

A. definitely.

Oh, A!!!!

B! With a different shawl or no shawl. the shawl and butterfly clashes. Definite B.

I definately think that Exhibit A looks much better. Exhibit B looks a bit boxy on you, whereas A looks much more shapely.

i'm with the masses - definitely A

btw- this reminds me of the audience vote in who wants to be a millionaire...that many of us like A - that we must be right ;-)

A -- though I think I'm too late as teh wedding was this weekend, wasn't it?

A - love butterfly but the sash looks best.
