Re: Would You Wear

  • If the answer is no, can I wear this dress with these shoes?

  • First let me say...those shoes are AWESOME!!!!! I might have to copy..HAA!!!

    Is the skirt black and the top white?  If so I think it would look great to wear the pencil skirt, white top and then add these shoes for a pop of color/something different. 

    In my opinion, I think both the houndstooth dress and shoes would be too much and a little "matchy." 

    I do think that either the dress or the skirt/top would be fine to wear.

  • Crown, I own those shoes and they're the most comfortable shoes ever! I wore them to my sister's bachelorette party last October and danced all night in them, walked a few blocks in Atlantic City and my feet felt great.  They're from Naughty Monkey.

    I don't have a blouse to go with the skirt and I wasn't successful in finding a blouse last night  I'm thinking I may buy the dress and wear a pair of red pumps.

    OH yeah I love that idea as well.  I am loving the pop of color these days!

    Do keep an eye out for the white top...that would be a GREAT outfit! Smile

    I definitely will...I'm just working under a tight timeline...we just got the invite Monday.  I figure I can wear the skirt and blouse combo w/ those shoes to the office.

    That's what I tend to wear to work. I agree with the dress and red pumps, that would be awesome!

  • I LOVE the shoes, but I think they'd look best with either a solid black dress or the pencil skirt with a white blouse, as a pp said. I'd avoid wearing the shoes with the houndstooth dress.
  • You could wear this blouse and rock it with those shoes.

  • Yes to the pencil skirt but HELL YES to the houndstooth and those shoes.

  • I think overall the pencil skirt idea is cute but if you take a picture with the bride in a white top, it'll look like you're both wearing white in the picture. I guess as long as it's more of a button up look then that would be better.

    Most of it wouldn't work for me, and the dress that I like most would get utterly destroyed with me in it. I like that they did a men's line too.

    Right?  I would wear all of that, seriously.  

    The first time I saw Mad Men I hated it.  I didn't watch again for 3 months...then I watched all 52 episodes in 3 days.  Sad but true.  I'm now re-watching.  SgtM, I think I'm about to epi 7 this time around.  The "basket of kisses" belle jolie campaign one.  I'm not a peggy fan, but I do love this episode where she kicks major booty.

    Really? I really like her (except for the way she's acting in chimerical recording in the first season finale).

    Ya, she bothers me.  I like her in the later seasons though.  I couldn't stand Pete for the first whole season either, but later on he gets better.
