warning: this post contains lots of dresses from jcrew and anthropologie
if you think my posts about clothes are boring or silly, do NOT proceed.
or, do so at your own caution. and don't say i didn't warn you. ;)
okay. so i'm still dress shopping. here are a bunch i've found and i want your opinion.
for the record, i'm tallish (5'9" and about 6 feet in heels), and i'm sort of elongated. ha! i'm super light-skinned and my hair is dark. just in case you can't tell from photos. and i know you can't. i heard at CHA about a zillion times, that i didn't look like people expected, whatever that means. =)
whatever i buy may or may not be used in DC. these are for wedding festivities, mainly.
metallic linen- j crew
anthropologie
anthropologie
jcrew- conservative, but i love
jcrew- how gorgeous is the detail work?
anthropologie- yes, i know i've shared this before. funny story, both j. and i picked this as our favorite item in the new anthro catalog. yes, i make him do stuff like that with me. =)
anthro- also a metallic sort of fabric, the back is super hot.
anthro- non-form fitting is always good.;)
all jcrew.
Yes, I know this is like the most boring post EVER,
but i need your help.
So, what do you think?
I will buy one for sure, maybe two...
so let me know.
And for those of you that have stuck with me this long, i'll throw in another studio calico april sneak peek!!!
xoxo

I like the coral conservative one...I think it would look good on you with your dark hair.

Love #4 the pink jcrew one with the slash neck. I have similar hair & skin tone so think that would really suit you. The two blue/turquoise jcrew ones are lovely also.

I like the "conservative" salmon-colored J Crew one, and the strapless, aqua, empire-wasted J Crew one. But they're all gorgeous! Hope you get to go!

Anything you wear will look cute ;)
I like #1, #3, and the last one!!

my 2 cents:
jcrew aqua (either version--although halter looks pretty awesome)
and of course, the classic/conservative coral one...I just think it would look very flattering on you. (that is if I knew what you looked like in person! Ha!)

I love them all!! But immediately upon seeing the conservative pink one, I LOOOOOVED it :)

All are beautiful & you can wear them all with your great figure...
I think #4 could be worn to both the wedding & DC. I love #7 & that looks like you could dress it up or down for the event. The striped one is cute but seems a little casual. I'd stear clear of strapless with little ones around - yikes seen that happen before lol.

Hands down the J Crew coral dress. It's all the rage in DC dont'cha know! What with Michelle Obama and her trend setting ways.
You will look awesome, with your coloring too!

i love the last green strapless dress. very beautiful, with a little bit of sexy. just my two cents

I am also dark haired with pale skin. My favorites are the last 3 and the flowered with blue bow. And are you kidding about this being a boring post. This is fun. :)

I like all of the J. Crew dresses, but my two favorite are definitely the coral "conservative" one and the green one. Go bold for the spring!

My favorites are the green and the blue in the bottom :)
