The hunt begins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-update#post-305405 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 17:56:56 +0000 Steph 305405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I'm just going to echo everyone else and say I think this is a perfect choice.

I am pretty excited about finding something so unexpected.</p> <p>Laura, I looked at a couple of other chunkier gold necklaces in the store but this is the only one I own already. It's a good suggestion to go bolder; I will see if I find something suitable, but I also want to keep the gold bag in consideration -- keeping the gold tones, proportions, and styles aligned will be critical.</p> <p>Marianna, the shorter version caught my eye too at Nordies when my girlfriend tried it on last week. (She is looking for a bridesmaid dress.) When I saw the longer version at Lord &amp; Taylor, I grabbed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-update#post-305294 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 08:46:26 +0000 Louise 305294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful dress you look stunning in it x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-update#post-305293 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 08:41:38 +0000 Aunty 305293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, spot on.

We have a short version of that dress at Nordies right now and I love it, but the full length takes it to another level.

I prefer the darker shoe and think a glittery gold bag will look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-update#post-305157 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:49:45 +0000 Laura 305157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty, Kristen! You've hit all the right notes. I want the necklace to be bolder somehow - did you try anything else for comparison? </p> <p>Oh, and nice specs too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ball-gown-update#post-305153 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:33:21 +0000 chewyspaghetti 305153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of your plans.

Now the hunt is on for shoes and a pretty glittery gold bag, but I have some ideas about those over on my blog. </p> <p>What do you guys think?</p> <p><a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2011/02/ball-gown-update.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....pdate.html</a></p> <p>Oh, I got new everyday glasses too! </p>
