XP: Fashion Help (PIP)
I bought this dress tonight...still trying to figure out if I like it or not. It looks horrendous on the model in the photo...but obv she looks super weird in the photo in general. On me, it is more of a true "drop waist" dress and comes down longer and has more of a deep cut V neck.
Thoughts on this dress with opaque black tights and black (closed toe) flats? Would that look ok? I was thinking of adding a couple of long silver necklaces too...
P.S. - This is for a wedding in Cleveland this weekend. It's going to be very chilly there (high of 59), hence the tights....although the wedding is indoors, so I could always nix the tights.
Re: XP: Fashion Help (PIP)
I'll need to see it on you -- I'm only concerned about the detail on the hips -- they look like outside pockets??
I would do a black patterned tight instead of an opaque just to jazz it up. But I think it's cute!

How long is the dress? If it's that far above your knee (like it is on the model), I'd wear tights...especially if it's going to be cold outside. I don't like the idea of tights and flats though, at least not with this dress. I'd say go tights with booties/heels or no tights with flats.
It definitely would help to have a PIP of how it fits on you though.
Dress looks nothing on me like it does on the model...it comes down to right above my knees on me and the waist is much more of a drop waist (as opposed to hitting at the waist).
I despise booties...I think they were the worst invention ever. Can't wear heels...flats are my only option...and I don't have any flat boots (and don't have time to purchase any).
Well, I think the dress is cute, but I was thinking along the same lines as others who suggested patterned tights/heels.
If you have to do flats, I might suggest a more sheer black stocking (not tights) and then maybe a colored shoe. Do you have one? That plus a nice statement necklace, maybe like the one you were thinking last week, would be nice.
