alright, well, it's more like "help me make a decision". I really like this dress as you may recall and it's still available.
However, I own lots of 'cute' dresses and should really get something a little more 'sexy' (I think I've discussed this before). I recently got a nice little Visa gift card so I think I could maybe buy one dress around this price or less (and then use the rest for boring things like groceries because honestly, I did just buy that KS wallet).
So... what should I do? I'll try to PIP some other options ![]()
*goes back to drooling over ModCloth*
ETA: I have a wedding coming up, so that's why I'm trying to make a decision now. I have a black dress (or two), a sparkly dark grey dress or a grey/white dress I could wear (see my problem? I buy lots of black/grey night dresses and then bright summer ones, but nothing in between.
ETA2: I saw this dress the other day absolutely love it (not the price tag unfortunately)
Re: Help me shop...
ok, is this a good sexy dress?
LOL I'm sorry, but WHAT were they thinking?!

Does anything in Anthro's Sale site look promising?

When I'm trying to go for less cutesy and more sexy I try to stay with this silhouette:

It would look good if you'd been viciously torn apart by a monster and wanted to show off your new sewn together body? lol
I really like the first one, super cute! Maybe a blue or maroon or dark green would be a good in-between sparkle/black and summery.
LOL that is exactly what kind of occasion I wold need that for
I think you're right about those colors, I don't own anything in that category

I always forget about Anthro! Mostly because I can't normally afford anything there, but the sale is a great idea. Will go looking...

I think this J.Crew dress is sexy..is it an evening or day time wedding? I think you could get away this that lovely "pink" (looks red on my monitor) for nighttime. Of course, you have to be 8,10, or 12 and I don't know you're size.
Looking through J.Crew sale dresses, I think this one is super-sexy because it's understated yet sleek and in silk. And this plum color is yummy, but again only in the larger sizes.
boo
I'm like a 0/XS, lol I should look at their sale/outlet website too

I just saw this in store and it's TDF.
Me too.
I love both the dresses in the OP. I kinda want the first one...
my currently-reading shelf:
what's TDF?
also, would you wear that to a wedding?
ETA: btw I was totally eying this for a NYE party

To die for.
Oh, reading fail. We're shopping for a wedding? No, I wouldn't wear that to a wedding, but I would wear it. I'll go look for a wedding appropriate dress.
ETA: IMO everyone needs at least 1 sequin dress.
lol I put it in the ETA I think, sorry there's a lot of text in my OP. I do kind of want a sparkly one like that for NYE though!

you are totally right, I should have one. what kind of shoes do you wear with a sequin dress though?
and I'm only saying I should be able to wear it to a wedding because I have one coming up and if I got a new dress, I feel like I should wear it then
ETA: also, I wish you could have seen the look on my face when I opened your link, lol. I was like "I'm sure she can't mean that for a wedding..."

I usually wear my sequined dress with metallic heels, but my dress is a teal color. I could totally see the one that I posted for you with black satin heels or the one that you posted with a metallic leather heel.
Are you proportioned right for juniors sizing?
I would wear any of these to a wedding

LOL. I read sexy and I immediately thought sequins and off I went.
I *think* I can wear juniors (I'm petite all over and most people think I'm in HS anyway, so... lol). thanks!

omg, that black dress IS so cute!
you scared the crap out of me with this dress. i thought you were serious.
way too many linkies in this post! i didn't follow all of them. i really like the two that KST posted, but if they're sold out, boo. if you already have 2 or so nice LBD's then you can stick with those, and change it up with a pashmena/scarf of different colors to change it up for the wedding. then use the visa gc for something boring like groceries.
