Pick A Dress
I think I've tried on every dress in this damn town. So please help me decide which to keep and which to return. This weekend I'm attending a wedding in LA. The bride is a stylist in hollywood and really into fashion (but not judgemental) so I'm always a bit nervous about what I wear around her. I'll also be seeing two friends that I haven't seen in two years. Both of these friends are complete princesses and fashionists. I'm at the point that I'm thinking about this too much...
Friday is the rehearsal dinner (which we're attending) and the bride describes it as upscale casual. The dinner is at one of LA's hot spots (the groom manages the restaurant) and George Clooney is a regular (I'll sooo try to get his sperm if I see him). Later that night we'll be going to a club where they've got a special VIP room reserved.
Saturday is the wedding. 6pm. Described as 'cocktail', followed by dinner and dancing.
(Please ignore bra straps)
These three are possible rehearsal dinner dresses.....
This is the one I'm thinking of for the club (too slutty??)
And I think this one is for the wedding. K is wearing a really nice suit; black pants with a cream blazor that has very slight brown and black pin stripes)
And I got these Chinese Laundry shoes for just $11!!
Re: Pick A Dress
The one you picked for the wedding is PERFECT! The very bottom one. It's adorable, sassy, and classy. Looks GREAT!
I also love the club one. It's A. Hott. B. Perfect for LA. C. The Neckline looks great on you.
For the reheral dinner I would wear the bottom of the top three. I just love the halter, and flowly skirt on bottom. The others seem too casual.
Definitely the third one (black on top) for the RD - love it!
I don't think the club choice is too slutty for where you are going - if you were thinking of wearing it to the wedding.....we might have to stop you ;-)
And the black one is great for the wedding.
Cute shoes too! What a steal! If you see Clooney - snap a picture!!

Ohh, I would say number two or three for the rehearsal dinner.
The wedding dress is great. And the club dress is HOT! Lol, sexy lady. I wish I could pull that number off.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

LMAO!! I love that that is the first thing you think of. ha!
i'm in agreement with the other ladies
1) #3, black-top halter will be perfect for the RD
2) DEFINITELY wear the club dress - HOT HOT HOT! i think that dress was actually made for you
3) wedding dress is great! you and K are going to be one stylishly sexy duo

I linked this post to my local board and so far you all have said the same thing as them. #1 or #3 for the RD and the club dress and the wedding dress are a go. :-)
I think I might keep #1 for the RD only because it's $20 cheaper than #3 and every penny counts right now. But I'll wait for all votes to be counted before my final decision - lol!
i'm a fan of the third one, as well--although the first is a close second.
i love the club and wedding dresses.
I agree! Club one is super hot and the black flowy skirt one is so pretty for rehersal :-) Enjoy!
