I'm going to a wedding in Orlando this weekend and I need some fashion advice for the rehearsal dinner outfit. The dinner is at an event space, invite says the menu is barbeque and the dress is casual.
It's supposed to be 85 degrees. I assume the dinner will be air-conditioned (sweet Jesus, the wedding on Sat. nite is "in the garden." Sweat much?).
Ideally I'd wear a sundress-type thing, but I don't have any that fit and my legs are fugly so I don't love dresses. I went shopping today. (If you live near a Lord & Taylor, they're having a 25 percent off sale right now and it's awesome.)
**Please disregard the bad hair, no makeup and lack of foundation garments.**
The pink one is the most comfortable:
Once I saw the photo, it's not as cute as it was in the dressing room, although I like the rosette neckline:
This blue shirt caught my eye, and I feel like it's all fancy because it's Calvin Klein. But it's kind of strangely shaped, at least on me. It also cuts me off at my widest point.
Lest you think I look thinner in that photo, it's just because I cut my feet off, which made my freakishly short legs look longer. See?
Here's an Eileen Fisher number. I love the shape, although gray generally makes me look like a corpse. But I adore the way the sweater minimizes my ass shelf. It could end up being way too hot, though.
Finally, there is a boring and slightly too big sailor-ish type shirt. It's navy, not black.
So what do you think? Which one should I wear?
Note to Gilly: No worries about this week's weigh-in. Between the rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner and flying home Sunday, there's zero chance I'll have a loss this week. So you can call off the hitman. But I'm coming back BIG (small, really) next week.
Kriten, The 1st 3 are really cute. I like the navy but yes its too big and you look great in bright colors. In order of preference it would have to be blue, pink and gray. You look super cute in all of them though!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue and the pink! Pretty girl! :)
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the first picture. Looks really cute. I love the neckline.
ReplyDeleteThey are all adorable, but my favorite is the pink. I love the color. The grey sweater is very nice, but you don't need to cover anything up - you look great!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue top the best I think....modern, looks like and like it moves..
ReplyDeletewhat shoes are you wearing?
(i like to think big picture here)
my vote is for the 2nd one, the bright blue & white :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the blue the best and then the grey! looks like we all differ.. aren't you glad you asked!! Whatever you choose, you are going to look great!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the grey best, then the pink. you look good in bright colors. can you wear a brightly colored tank under the sweater for some punch?
ReplyDeleteI like the last one. You look skinniest in that one.
ReplyDeleteI think you will look great in any of them - but the blue really caught my eye :-)
ReplyDeleteThe blue caught my eye too, but all look nice. I'd jazz it up with some costume jewellery around the neck and wrists if you can stand it in the heat.
ReplyDeletePink! I love that top.
ReplyDeleteBut I love the Eileen Fisher sweater...can you wear a bright pink tank under it? Or a black tank with bright jewelry? And heels?
You are looking good Girl!
I like the blue best, followed by the grey. Where in Florida will you be? I'm in the Palm Beach area and yeah, it's getting hot.
ReplyDeleteMy fav on you would be the grey...I agree about the brightly covered tank underneath to liven things up.
ReplyDeleteI like the grey sweater. And looking at the line of the shirt underneath - if you were to bring that up to maybe belly button level, it would lengthen your legs from a visual point of view (if that's what you wanted :)
ReplyDeleteI also like the blue top - not the navy but the 3rd pic. Pretty clothes.
I like the blue top and white pants!
ReplyDeleteWell .. here is my two cents.. I really like the blue one. The pink is my second choice.. enjoy your self.. you have really been the traveller these last few weeks..
ReplyDeleteI vote for the Eileen Fisher with a black tank, chunky silver jewelry and wedge heels...and a pink or teal bag for a pop of color..
ReplyDeleteyou are rockin' the white pants BTW!
ReplyDeleteHi band sista!! Thanks for the support on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking really good-- and this was not even a full on fashion show without foundation garments and all important SHOES!!!
I have a strong personal preference for the BLUE shirt. I think you look lovely in each picture, but the blue is a really good color for your skin tone and I actually think it is the most flattering fit (just one girl's opinion.)
It's all about the shoes as well-- do you have a cute strappy sandal or even cute flip flops to pull this together? Shoes will make this!!
Let's see the final product, love you!!
