DRRRESSES: WANT

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).

Do you dye yr own hairs, ffm?

Sorry to derail DRESS LUVV.

i like it!
xpost

that 1st dress is so pretty sunny, the blue n black

isnt it??

It is BADASS but I feel wicked self-conscious in sequins.

I love the one at the top, the red one, the best.

oh man i LOVE wearing sequins.

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

As long as this thread is for completely unobtainable items:

OH HELLO PHILLIP LIM DRESS THAT IS DELECTABLE AND ALSO $650.

oooooooooooooh!

oh goodness, that's perfection

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.

so now all we need is ...$650

yeah curves + lipstick OTM

god, laurel, you would rock the hell out of that dress

Haha actually it would never fit me but I'd love to try.

OH AND MAYBE A HAT WITH A VEIL, IT NEEDS THAT TOO.

So anyway. Next?

Next

Does that wool jumper show up? I'm not sure if it's just in my cache....

hey yah thats super cute where is it from?

hey yah thats super cute where is it from?

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!

Here

$339! grrrr

Step off FFM, you are not 'heavyset,' if you meant that euphemistically.

hey, I'm almost 200 pounds!

l, don't know if you noticed, but you can get half that dress (aka a blouse) for just $375...

I have a killer beer belly :P

you are also 6'1"!!!!
xp

i think you could totally pull off daring!!

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!

ah crap semicolon!

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?

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??

seriously! it's only michael kors anyway, i don't understand why it's $1800

laurel,
please make me one too. kthxs

<3 these colors

Arrrrgh I need to move so I can sew without rearranging my whole room temporarily.

Tza, those colors are very you! I think they look good together, too. And that's kind of a nice dress.

Hmmmm.

$325 :(

also where would i wear it?

also does that hem look sewn weird?

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.

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.

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.

^i recently got the dress in the middle, but in the grey/black color scheme.
i am excited to wear it with colorful tights!

also, laurel, you could have been talking about me, until you got to the part about the posture and dignity

You should meet her sometime. Maybe we'll have a girls' night.
