I love the first bronze frock! So gorgeous on you. </p> <p>I adore the vintage route: black micro fishnets, black heels, black cutch and garnet or ruby inspired jewelry! Add a black wrap too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105423 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:31:39 +0000 rute 105423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As to the first dress, I would not go crazy with the accessories, as the dress is already quite of a statement! I would choose very simple earrings, nude sheer hose and sandals</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=309366&#038;CategoryID=42773&#038;LinkLoc=544&#038;LinkType=SiteAd&#038;AdID=502754" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....dID=502754</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/pelle-moda-atron-black-suede" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/pelle-moda-atron-black-suede</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/unlisted-natural-wonder-black-satin" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/unlisted.....lack-satin</a></p> <p>If you choose the black dress you can go with the vintage jewelery posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105417 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:03:18 +0000 RoseandJoan 105417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your first dress and shoes are simply stunning, are your vintage earings clip on? If so you could maybe try wearing them on the dress like Charlize Theron at the 2000 Oscars<br /> <a href="http://theoscardresses.com/?language=en&#038;section=pages&#038;pname=oscar-dress-theron-2000" rel="nofollow">http://theoscardresses.com/?la.....heron-2000</a></p> <p>Could you try a faux fur wrap as a cover up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105362 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:51:37 +0000 jessica 105362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.P.S. Do I dare try something other than nude hose?? Just throwing the thought out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105355 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:34:46 +0000 jessica 105355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments! The only shoes I have that go are a patent silver/gray (pic below). The dress does have this muted gray tone in it and is fairly muted overall, in person, so anything bright seems to clash. Hard to describe, but it's almost silver and gold at the same time. I don't know that I'm partial to any colors. I've been wearing lots of blue and teal lately but I love reds and pinks and oranges, too. I think what I'm hoping to find are some vintage accessories (I had originally wanted a vintage dress). So anything that makes it more original is the goal, I guess. </p> <p>Here's a pic of the shoes and a couple pairs of vintage earrings I have, but I am still browsing for alternatives.... <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2599/4088358040_cc72b077f9_b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm3.static.flickr.com.....77f9_b.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2485/4087604671_a7bbcc94da_b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm3.static.flickr.com.....94da_b.jpg</a></p> <p>Also, ideal to find would be a vintage clutch that adds some color and some kind of cropped coat or wrap. My dressier coats consist of a car length red tweed or a black wool capelet (similar to this <a href="http://www.belladermmedspa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/capelet.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.belladermmedspa.com.....apelet.jpg</a>) neither of which seem right. </p> <p>P.S. Here's the vintage jewelry I wear with the black dress. I need more cocktail parties to go to! <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2679/4088365206_d9cd07d970_b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm3.static.flickr.com.....d970_b.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105291 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:18:13 +0000 Sihaya 105291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessica - you are gorgeous. THanks for posting pix. I love the first dress and the black dress. The first one you can accessorize with just about anything. Black, red, hot pink, blue. What colors are you partial to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105250 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:36:28 +0000 Louise 105250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress is a beautiful fit and colour i'd wear that. I'd say it's a neutral so any colour accessories would go. What colour shoes, bags etc do you already have to work with? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dress-for-high-school-reunion#post-105209 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:07:53 +0000 jessica 105209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all, </p> <p>Ugh. My first high school reunion (ten years) is coming up on Thanksgiving weekend. I've been shopping like mad and I thought I had settled on the dress below (found at a consignment shop! ), but I'm hesitant about whether the color is flattering...Thoughts? What color shoes?? First and 2nd pic are accurate to the color. Third pic (with flash) shows how it looks when light hits.<br /> <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2526/4083697629_58d3f1dd5f_o.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm3.static.flickr.com.....dd5f_o.jpg</a></p> <p>Other options are a taffeta cobalt blue dress I may be bringing home next week (they are sending for my size from another store) but it has cap sleeves that are questionable with my arms...And something about it felt a little old for me but I love the blue and it's on clearance for $23 (!!) .... <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ylltqsm" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ylltqsm</a> (this link is not exact -- slightly different neckline and teal instead of cobalt -- but as close a picture as i could find). </p> <p>And..... I have a black dress I could accessorize, if need be. But I really wanted to wear something more interesting than black.<br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3490/4084491442_05a09e9da6_o.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....9da6_o.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
