But if you find the right necklace it would work (nothing teeny or that cuts your neck "in half" if you know what I mean by that).<br /> If you go with necklace, I'd do something large - maybe a larger pearl strand since it wouldn't contrast with your skintone too much?</p> <p>Check out back issues of InStyle for ideas - all the strapless award show gowns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66358 Tue, 19 May 2009 22:46:32 +0000 Steph 66358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you have made your decision. I just wanted to chime in that one great thing about the green is that the fabric is such that you can wear it to a number of different events--it wouldn't look out of place at dinner, going to a bar, hanging out with friends, etc. </p> <p>In terms of jewelry, I would definitely try to wear some kind of necklace, since the neckline is strapless. Personally, I would probably try something like this: <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=20427&#038;N=1200403&#038;categoryId=1446&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_1446&#038;loc=LN&#038;showAll=Y&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Gold&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....ory=Misses</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66347 Tue, 19 May 2009 22:03:23 +0000 Anonymous 66347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look beautiful in both.

I'm not good at accessorizing outfits, but I think the dress, because of its clean, simple lines (and, because you are attending a wedding), would look with simple accessories, such as:<br /> - Single- or double-strand of pearls, choker length<br /> - Wide gold bangle or mesh bracelet<br /> - Dangly gold earrings</p> <p>And since you have such long, elegant arms, you could try opera length gloves -- those would look fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66334 Tue, 19 May 2009 21:39:36 +0000 Laura 66334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input everyone!</p> <p>I'm going to go with the green because I feel more comfortable in it and its cheaper (I'm a grad student at the moment). </p> <p>Any suggestions on accessories?! I was thinking of buying a bracelet of some kind though I don't usually wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66218 Tue, 19 May 2009 12:32:28 +0000 shana 66218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both gorgeous! Being frugal minded myself, I vote for the green! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66209 Tue, 19 May 2009 10:53:49 +0000 yublocka 66209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I vote for green as well. Have you made a pick yet Laura? They both look gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66188 Tue, 19 May 2009 07:12:42 +0000 Ele 66188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Laura. I love both dresses, and find them both really flattering on you. From a purely objective point of view (ie, trying not to think about the price), I also prefer the blue. Something about the colour with your dark hair, the shape of the neckline and the cut are wonderful on you. It's more sophisticated, classic, and looks more expensive. (Which obviously, it is;) This is not a personal preference based on colour at all- green is my favourite colour and I hardly own anything in blue at all. I just think you shine in the blue one.</p> <p>Having said that, you can't go wrong with the green one, either. It definitely has an interesting cut going for it, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find something that you didn't look fantastic in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66169 Tue, 19 May 2009 04:39:29 +0000 Sihaya 66169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can't go wrong with either though I have a preference for the blue and how the color and the cut look on your body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66151 Tue, 19 May 2009 02:14:04 +0000 anne 66151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both lovely and you look great, but I also prefer the green </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66148 Tue, 19 May 2009 02:10:41 +0000 Angie 66148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses look FABULOUS. But the green is unique because of the pockets so that one gets my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66127 Tue, 19 May 2009 01:03:10 +0000 shell 66127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the green dress! it's a much more interesting shape, and for half the price, how can you say no? </p> <p>how do you plan to accessorize? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66120 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:41:17 +0000 Oneirix 66120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look AMAZING on you! Personally though I prefer the blue. The seaming is very beautiful and the color is fabulous against your skin. Also, the fabric strikes me as a little dressier. Since it's flashier than the green one you would have to accessorize less as well.</p> <p>But if you're not as comfortable in the blue one, definitely go for green! Either way you look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66103 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:04:35 +0000 Laura 66103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks shiny and Chris!</p> <p>The green dress is from Express if any of you are interested. It comes in several bright spring colors:</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=9553&#038;parentCategoryId=2&#038;categoryId=22&#038;subCategoryId=243" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....goryId=243</a></p> <p>I have no idea how I'll accessorize...I barely own any accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66100 Mon, 18 May 2009 23:56:04 +0000 Chris 66100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green is incredible - reminds me of Anne Hathaway (Devil Wears Prada actress). You could also throw on a light cardi or pashmina, etc. for ceremony and still look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66098 Mon, 18 May 2009 23:51:57 +0000 shiny 66098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look incredible on you, but go with the green one if you are more comfortable with it - and it's half the price! Who can beat that?</p> <p>How will you accessorize? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attending-a-wedding-which-dress#post-66094 Mon, 18 May 2009 23:24:56 +0000 Laura 66094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both of these dresses. I'm leaning towards the green because it is much cheaper at $70 than the blue at $130. The blue one also seems too...shiny for my personality. I tend to wear black and grey so just wearing a colored dress is a big step for me. </p> <p>The wedding is in the evening with a "cocktail reception".
