Love the color. Looks like a great cut too.

This is a ladies thread, yo.

3/16/2012 10:56:18 PM

I'm so glad you could join us! Want to talk about your period?

3/16/2012 10:56:39 PM

The period is correct. It wasn't a question or a statement conveying excitement.

3/16/2012 10:57:46 PM

i think my edit may have been lost to the last page:

is it wedding event(s) appropriate?

3/16/2012 10:59:58 PM

What time of day and formality?

3/16/2012 11:01:47 PM

Quote :

"the cocktail buffet is like a shower or whatever, not actually part of the wedding. idk if that changes anything. the bridesmaids/women's brunch is at the fiance's grandparents' restaurant (big hearty fattening breakfasts). the rehearsal dinner is ummm at the same place i think. the wedding is at old sheldon church ruins outside of beaufort. the reception is at the uncle's restaurant in downtown beaufort that's like a fancier offshoot (& oyster bar) of the grandparents' restaurant. "

those are the various events i'll have to go to. the old sheldon church ruins are, well, ruins. it's outside. i think it's at 4 or 5pm.

I think the cut and color of the dress are fine. The jersey cotton blend makes it a bit more informal. So, you may need to pay extra attention to your accessories, and dress it up with your shoes/possible wrap, etc. I think if you do that, it'll work for all of those events.

3/16/2012 11:07:21 PM

k i ordered the teal dress & this one
http://www.picklesandicecream.com/123289m.html

it'd be nice if both work, but we'll see. the more i look at the teal one, the more i like it.

3/16/2012 11:24:02 PM

The teal one is pretty, but I also like the black one. The great thing about maternity dresses is that typically, they still work after you've had the baby. It usually takes months to get back to whatever shape you were in prior to the baby, so it's great to have maternity clothes that also work during the post-pregnancy period.

Hey Ladies!!

I haven't been on TWW much lately, but I thought I'd share my latest splurge. I'm going on a trip to Germany and the UK next week, and the weather forecast is "40 and raining!" I was at the camping store and they had a big sale on winter gear. (We didn't have much of a winter in Charleston this year, and it's already getting pretty hot!)

I plunked down $200 for this jacket ... on a good note it was marked down from $400!! I think it's perfect to travel because it's very warm and semi-waterproof but not bulky. I want to put everything in a carry-on bag! The jacket has a nice, fitted structure that hugs my waist just right.

3/17/2012 8:28:52 PM

That's really pretty! I like the shape a lot.

3/17/2012 9:18:47 PM

Red is always a fabulous color for you!

3/17/2012 9:22:13 PM

CassTheSass & I had a successful shopping trip

best purchase for me was a pair of snakeskin pumps from Ann Taylor for $19.99

3/18/2012 7:32:10 PM

You need to post a pic of the shoes. They're AMAZING!

I am gking to wear my new dress tomorrow. I just need to figure out what shoes to wear

3/18/2012 8:12:24 PM

I love that dress...I need to have another shopping day soon lol

here's the shooz...the pics don't show off the fabulous silver that's in them but they still look cute

3/18/2012 8:27:01 PM

I went on the website and apparently the dress I got only comes in petite so I ended up getting the right size after all

Linda, I also got the Lush deodorant you were telling me about yesterday.

[Edited on March 18, 2012 at 9:27 PM. Reason : And work out pants]

3/18/2012 9:26:08 PM

Diva, I love those!! Were there any left??

3/18/2012 9:30:55 PM

They had a couple in the all black snakeskin. We were at Crabtree. There were some other great shoes and flats on sale too.

These shoes are on the website for $79.99 right now

It's almost worth it to me to check Southpoint this week because they're great for work, and they look good for fun (I had on some black skinny jeans when I tried them on, and they look so good haha)

3/18/2012 9:40:08 PM

beach this weekend

http://www.bevello.com/thml-by-theme-aztec-maxi-dress

trying to figure out how to get the image on here but... i am computarded

kkthx

3/19/2012 9:37:09 PM

i know i said i didnt like cork bottoms but i am digging these sandals

http://www.dsw.com/shoe/kelly+.and.+katie+campania+wedge+sandal?prodId=244402&category=dsw11cat260004

sorry no pic again, man i am a loser

3/19/2012 9:39:01 PM

you need a cognac brown wedge sandal

(more of a lighter reddish brown that can go with black or brown like this http://www.dsw.com/shoe/audrey+brooke+rome+wedge+sandal?prodId=239598&productRef=SEARCH )

but that's all of my opinion I'm giving...y'all don't appreciate my help lol



[Edited on March 19, 2012 at 10:15 PM. Reason : I like the style of the weave in your sandal, but that material (leather?) looks cheap]

3/19/2012 10:11:01 PM

i like both of them

3/19/2012 10:13:36 PM

YO GREEN JAY

have you ordered one of those convertible dresses from igigi.com? I really think I might try that python print dress.

3/19/2012 10:16:12 PM

So we're going to Vegas!

No idea what to wear...

3/19/2012 10:53:15 PM

oh, i forgot to respond to that post the other day. i'm actually scared to death of those things, but i am a picky person when it comes to clothes, i guess. I do like the diana and casandra versions of the dress- kaori, not so much. since i'm big on bottom I shy away from stuff that isn't at least A-line on the bottom.

i would really like to go for this one but i think my tummy and ass would be out there, even with shapewear



i think this is the next one i'll get unless they come out with some cute summer stuff soon. i hope this one looks cute without a belt, i feel like quite a few of the dress i have from there need the belt or they can look shapeless around the midsection.




i have this dress from a couple years before and a couple other in the same style, it is the bomb.com. it's not as flashy as the others but i reach for those all the time.




vegas? i see you in a leather bikini top and sequined leggings. or a sequined bikini top and leather pants if you wanna be traditional

[Edited on March 19, 2012 at 11:01 PM. Reason : teehee]

3/19/2012 10:59:37 PM

I'm a fan of the middle dress

I'm a sucker for a "wrap" look dress

[Edited on March 19, 2012 at 11:02 PM. Reason : I just had a visual of that outfit...I'm a fan of sequins so this could work ]

3/19/2012 11:01:53 PM

their actual wrap dresses are awesome too. i got this one a couple months ago but haven't worn it yet because i don't have brown boots. finally got some sandal weather so i guess i should get it out soon.




wow! i love this infinity tunic. the price isn't bad compared to the dresses either, this is on my list i guess.






[Edited on March 19, 2012 at 11:08 PM. Reason : just saw that they are now selling on amazon.com too]

3/19/2012 11:07:24 PM

see its like the infinity dress I like

3/19/2012 11:20:35 PM

i'm just suspicious that the last look won't be as nice in the larger sizes. the border print is probably not wider on those styles

3/19/2012 11:23:19 PM

which is cuter?







[Edited on March 19, 2012 at 11:33 PM. Reason : huge pic]

3/19/2012 11:32:26 PM

Omg - I LOVE the first one. I Wish it wasn't $120 though - not sure I can justify that right now after my bender this weekend. Does that stuff ever go on sale? And how in the fuck is that model considered "plus size"? I wear a size 10-ish and I'm pretty sure I'm bigger than her.

3/19/2012 11:44:11 PM

The first one is cuter, but if you say you're larger on the bottom, then the second one works (and it's still cute).

3/19/2012 11:46:00 PM

yeah, i'm tempted to size up on the first. i have this one which is kinda the same as the second




they keep doing studies that show that people are not positively affected by true plus size models. blah, i disagree with them!

3/20/2012 12:10:37 AM

what do you call that cut along the neck?

man, I love that, I wish I had big boobs.

3/20/2012 12:32:48 AM

Why does my period wait until after I get to work? Why can't it hit me in the morning before I leave.

Stuck having to use coin dispenser tampons for the day when I'm not prepared.

3/20/2012 9:46:21 AM

I really like the black & white dress!

^ME TOO...normally mine starts in the evening but I think its about to hit me hard this morning

[Edited on March 20, 2012 at 9:48 AM. Reason : though I did throw my little case in my tote bag yesterday just in case]

3/20/2012 9:47:52 AM

I have a question, is this not a somewhat ugly outfit?




I just thought the whole thing was wrong for her, it looks cool and apparently people liked it. I think it does no justice for her body.



[Edited on March 20, 2012 at 3:25 PM. Reason : it is almost cute]

3/20/2012 3:14:22 PM

I like the top of the dress, and I sort of like the bottom, but it is falling awkwardly in that pose. But, it fits the character she's promoting well, and I like dresses that aren't plain and boring for premiers. Love the color and the detail.

3/20/2012 3:16:30 PM

That dress is gorgeous

3/20/2012 3:16:38 PM

hmmm, well I like it, but I thought it looked weird on her, but she pulls it off (I certainly wouldn't) and I like her shoes.



[Edited on March 20, 2012 at 3:26 PM. Reason : it is not backpedaling when you are just trying to figure it out.]

3/20/2012 3:18:06 PM

way to backpedal

3/20/2012 3:20:38 PM

I dunno, thought it was an interesting dress, I never had any strong feelings either way other than it was an odd fit or something...

3/20/2012 3:24:03 PM

She really pulls off the dress, but it would not work for most people.


I can't tell if it's made out of quality material or cheap material from the picture, which would have a profound impact on my final decision for that dress.

3/20/2012 3:24:16 PM

^that was what looked off to me, the material. I am sure no dress looks bad on her though.

3/20/2012 3:27:00 PM

heres the shoes i got to go with this dress:

Shoes:

http://www.bevello.com/thml-by-theme-aztec-maxi-dress

Gonna wear it with teal/silver aviators and coral nails and mint toes. Wooo hoo

3/20/2012 8:57:19 PM

wow, i need this!



[Edited on March 21, 2012 at 1:51 AM. Reason : owl print]

3/21/2012 1:49:07 AM

^^those shoes are awful...even worse than the first pair you chose

^I love owls

[Edited on March 21, 2012 at 9:57 AM. Reason : e]

3/21/2012 9:50:42 AM

not to be rude but those shoes are all sorts of wrong with that dress. you should look for a fun metallic flat to wear with the dress. i'm thinking a gold gladiator would look thebomb.com.

3/21/2012 9:57:26 AM

i agree. metallic gladiators, a color, that reddish brown or lighter (as in weight) sandal. those wedges are just too heavy IMO (the strap is so thick) and don't really compliment the dress at all.

the dress rocks though

i like these...feel free to disagree with my taste as well, heh
