I will spare you a long, drawn-out, American Idol style results show featuring musical guests and false suspense, and will cut to the chase- the promised photos from the great outfit vote of aught-eight:
I read all of your comments and tabulated votes. (I disqualified Donna after clicking through to her website from her comment and discovering she is clearly partisan- though I would encourage all of you to check it out because really? Such websites exist? Who knew?) A slim majority of you encouraged me to get new shoes (which, let’s face it, I kind of wanted to do anyway,) and I found a really great pair of shoes that I was happy to buy, and so I went with Mango’s dark tights suggestion. I had seen it in magazines too on the Hollywood starlets, and suspected I (not being a Hollywood starlet by any stretch) could not pull it off. But then I tried on my dress again and saw how short it was in real life and was glad for the extra coverage black tights provided, so I went with it. Turns out it was a wise choice- it was cold, so I was warmer, plus the average age at this party turned out to be about 20 years old, so dressing young and hip made me feel a little less awkward about being a decade older than everyone else at the party.
Well, that and gin. Gin makes everything better.
I LOVE the dress. The outfit turned out great!
YOU ROCKED THIS DRESS! Good choice on the tights plus new shoes. Everyone is happy. The real question is, what did your husband think?
Very nice.
So. Fucking. Cute. Love how the dress fits, you rocked the tights, it’s perfect!
Looks awesome….really. I love the black tights…or nylons…whatever. I recently busted out some black tights with a houndstooth print and a grey skirt. SO CUTE. This is a great trend.
Awesome outfit – love the dress and the shoes are so cute!
Hope you had a blast
You know how you used to go & get your photos developed and then you’d get them back and be all disappointed because whoever took the photo had cut the feet off?
Well in THIS case…
But hey, great dress & nice legs.
Woo hoo!!!
…And by “woo hoo!” I meant, you looked wonderful! Love that dress, seriously. Good job!
