I think I am the only person in the world that thinks red & pink look fucking AWESOME together (except if it is a pale pink).

isnt it??

It is BADASS but I feel wicked self-conscious in sequins.
― Abbott, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:20 (sixteen years ago)
I love the one at the top, the red one, the best.
oh man i LOVE wearing sequins.
― sunny successor, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:21 (sixteen years ago)
no my mouthy hairdresser (see umm Manbag drama thread) does! She uses some awesome stuff called... uh, Elumen which I would use if I could buy & use on my own hair but I think you have to be licensed(?) to buy/use it. It's organic and crazy long lasting!
I actually do link pink and red but being tall, heavyset and awkward, the last thing I want to do is attempt to pull off daring coordinations. :D

oooooooooooooh!
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:37 (sixteen years ago)
oh goodness, that's perfection
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:38 (sixteen years ago)
It looks a bit drapey and unexcited on that model but I think it needs a) some curves, and b) a really matte red lipstick.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago)
so now all we need is ...$650
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:42 (sixteen years ago)
yeah curves + lipstick OTM
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:44 (sixteen years ago)
god, laurel, you would rock the hell out of that dress
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago)
Haha actually it would never fit me but I'd love to try.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago)
OH AND MAYBE A HAT WITH A VEIL, IT NEEDS THAT TOO.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:46 (sixteen years ago)
So anyway. Next?
Next

Does that wool jumper show up? I'm not sure if it's just in my cache....
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:57 (sixteen years ago)
hey yah thats super cute where is it from?
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago)
Oooh a hat with a veil.. can we add long satin gloves and a cigarette holder?
It does show up for me. I could ROCK the hell out of that outfit!
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago)
Here
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago)
$339! grrrr
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:01 (sixteen years ago)
Step off FFM, you are not 'heavyset,' if you meant that euphemistically.
― Abbott, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago)
hey, I'm almost 200 pounds!
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago)
l, don't know if you noticed, but you can get half that dress (aka a blouse) for just $375...
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago)
I have a killer beer belly :P
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago)
you are also 6'1"!!!! xp
i think you could totally pull off daring!!
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago)
bell, perhaps <a href=http://cache.net-a-porter.com/images/products/35161/35161_in_l.jpg>this dress<a/> could solve your jumper quest, for a mere $1,795!
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:07 (sixteen years ago)
ah crap semicolon!
http://cache.net-a-porter.com/images/products/35161/35161_in_l.jpg
thanks tza, Abbott :) I used to be 150ish though about three years ago so I am feeling very ...different.
Oh god that $1700 jumper is divine. Why weren't we born filthy rich?
― Finefinemusic, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:10 (sixteen years ago)
I loooooooove that zipper dress. Predictably enough. I bet you could make something very much like it for about $50. Not a luxury brand, obv, but who's going to know that you or I hang out with??
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:12 (sixteen years ago)
seriously! it's only michael kors anyway, i don't understand why it's $1800
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:15 (sixteen years ago)
laurel, please make me one too. kthxs
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:19 (sixteen years ago)

Arrrrgh I need to move so I can sew without rearranging my whole room temporarily.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:24 (sixteen years ago)
Tza, those colors are very you! I think they look good together, too. And that's kind of a nice dress.
Hmmmm.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:25 (sixteen years ago)
$325 :(
also where would i wear it?
also does that hem look sewn weird?
― tehresa, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:26 (sixteen years ago)
I can't tell from that photo but satin is REALLY hard to hide anything on because of the sheen. Hem stitches almost always show a TINY bit, even a $325 dress isn't hand-made.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:27 (sixteen years ago)
i need a job so i can buy clothes
honestly, i'm (ridiculously, and i know it) depressed about my wardrobe (or the lack of it). i threw out most of my clothes before moving here, came with just a suitcase. not that i had much wearable stuff anyway. but i still haven't got work, so gotta be careful with our moneys till then, so no shopping for me :( :( :(
this isn't really anything to do with dresses, i just needed to vent and i thought you ladies would understand my anguish.
― Rubyredd, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:29 (sixteen years ago)
Rrubs, I have a friend who probably wears the same skirt or cardigan or something about three days a week, and she feels shabby but she NEVER looks less than slightly frightening, just because her accessories are unique and uniquely combined, and she's got excellent posture and just...personal dignity. Carriage. She's a good reminder to me.
― Laurel, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:32 (sixteen years ago)
http://blogs.glam.com/glamchic/files/2007/04/starr-dresses-2.jpg ^i recently got the dress in the middle, but in the grey/black color scheme. i am excited to wear it with colorful tights!
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:45 (sixteen years ago)
also, laurel, you could have been talking about me, until you got to the part about the posture and dignity
― bell_labs, Thursday, 14 August 2008 21:51 (sixteen years ago)
You should meet her sometime. Maybe we'll have a girls' night.
