The descriptions/multi-season accessory advice are all fabulous!<br /> Modgrl, don't worry, I never intended to wear the snake sandals with this dress! Those are just the shoes I wore into the dressing room. If I wear this dress for formal winter functions, black microfishnets and patent peep-toe pumps will absolutely be the order of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy/page/2#post-371161 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:16:00 +0000 Laura 371161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress #1 is absolutely amazing on you! I like Sarah's idea of transitioning it into daytime with a boyfriend jacket. A dress that stunning should NOT sit in the closet except for the rare special occasion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy/page/2#post-371083 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:54:09 +0000 Queen Mum 371083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!!! I am so happy that you got dress #1. Sounds like Rina will never steer you wrong.<br /> I agree to keep your accessories simple. Silver or pearls sound perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-371081 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:49:25 +0000 modgrl 371081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the first dress on you. It is gorgeous and slimming. I would go with black accessories here. I don't think the snake shoes go at all. Beautiful! Great choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-371064 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:23:45 +0000 Anonymous 371064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late but want to say that the dress is perfect on you. Kyle did such a great job of describing it. It looks like pinkish lavendar poppies floating in a sapphire pool. It's a pattern that's both colorful and soothing. Your black or grey jacket will take it into fall. To be really colorful for summer I think you could wear your turquoise jacket with this dress if it isn't too long. Your eggplant bolero could also work, the color blending with the blues and lavendar of the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-371051 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:12:40 +0000 Sarah 371051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popping by to say I'm SO glad it was dress #1.<br /> I'm envisioning a day time look (post wedding season) with a boyfriend blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-371048 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:05:09 +0000 Jonesy 371048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I can't tell you just how gorgeous that first dress looks on you. The colors are really beyond gorgeous, and the cut is just about the most flattering thing I have ever seen you wear. You look really elegant, beautiful, and eye-catching. I agree that you could throw a jacket on over this dress (dark denim, or a black jacket), and be ready to go for fall or winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370998 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:31:05 +0000 RoseandJoan 370998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy you bought dress 1, it's beautiful and the print completely evokes memories of holidays past, sitting on a balcony, the sun sets turning the sea the most gorgeous shade of deep blue and the smell of exotic flowers fills the air.</p> <p>Michelle, I see no reason why this should not be a four season dress, the only problem I can foresee is how a jacket will lay over the ruffle of the neckline.</p> <p>With regards to accessories, I think less is more with this dress. Your silver accessories will look great as will black and cream. If you are lucky enough to have some sapphires in your jewellery wardrobe they would look terrific too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370997 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:30:30 +0000 rute 370997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 1 by far because it's much more flattering for you! You seem to have lost 10 pounds in that dress!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370984 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:02:35 +0000 suzanne 370984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But you NEED dress #2 as well. You look stunning in both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370936 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 03:39:22 +0000 Kyle 370936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. I do work in marketing, Michelle. Perhaps you should be a career counselor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370934 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 03:35:01 +0000 Michelle 370934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, you should go into marketing. You made me want to buy two of the same dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370930 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 03:07:45 +0000 Kyle 370930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It reminds me of a Monet watercolor. A vibrant, rich, cobalt-ish blue backdrop, with splashes of lavender that evokes images of perhaps, flowers, or, I daresay, a water lily? The pattern is not literal. It is soft and flowing. Pops of black, and even turquoise blue, also look as though they were brushed on with a gentle but deft stroke. A true work of art. Very sophisticated. Understated, but also bold in it's vibrancy, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370918 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 02:35:08 +0000 Michelle 370918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies!! New accessories are definitely not on the horizon. I've blown the budget on this dress and the cotton flared one, and while I'm sure both will be great purchases, it must stop here. If you think silver and pearl will work, I'll stick with that!<br /> For some of you wordsmiths out there, could you take a run at describing the pattern your way? You ladies have a way of describing design and colour combos that exceed most of what I come across. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370912 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 02:24:12 +0000 Sveta 370912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I was late for the game but I am glad you bought the first dress- it is amazing on you. Silver accessories should look great with this dress - black is too predictable and less interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370889 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:31:59 +0000 D'Ellen 370889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping this was a trick question and that you'd bought both! But if it had to be one or the other, I'm glad you went with #1. It's really stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370888 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:29:58 +0000 Suz 370888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I missed voting, but did you ever make a great choice! I loved the other dress, too (and secretly hope you will find a reason to go back and get it) but this one is, if possible, even better! VERY flattering! </p> <p>Black accessories would look nice but I don't think they are necessary. How about snapping a pic with the ones you had in mind and we can consider? Silver could look good, I suspect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370886 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:29:30 +0000 catgirl 370886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing #1 - I hope that is the one you got! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370883 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:23:29 +0000 MsMary 370883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #1!! Great choice!! It looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370881 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:21:51 +0000 cjh 370881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I didn't get to vote, but I would've picked #1, so still okay! That sheath is very flattering and more sophisticated, you are right. I was going to say more grown-up, but don't want to offend, not knowing how old you are or how you feel about that. :-)</p> <p>Silver jewelry wuld look great - maybe a heavier chain/pendant within your neckline. How about this pendant on a nice shiny chain?<br /> <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Worldstock-Fair-Trade/Sterling-Silver-Lapis-Lazuli-Pendant-India/3183816/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/World.....oduct.html</a></p> <p>The blue is perfect match according to how I can see your photo.</p> <p>or how about this fantastic necklace?<br /> <a href="http://www.rubylane.com/item/522170-JQ385/Vintage-Art-Nouveau-Cobalt-Glass" rel="nofollow">http://www.rubylane.com/item/5.....balt-Glass</a><br /> With black peeptoe pumps or strappy sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370876 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:14:11 +0000 Kyle 370876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors of the blue ruffle dress are really special and tres flattering. I prefer it overall, anyway, but the colors are so beautiful that it elevates the entire ensemble to another level. I see no reason that black needs to be part of the mix and would keep the accessories relatively simple. Let the dress, and beautiful you, be the stars of the show. Silver accessories feel right. Champagne pearls would be a good option, too. While the rest of us are in a barren dress desert, Michelle has landed squarely in a full-on oasis. Good for you! I love dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370873 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:58:08 +0000 Michelle 370873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you guessed dress number, 1, congratulations!! It's hanging in my closet right now, and I'm really, really happy about it.<br /> The fact is that I tried it on last week at the same time as I tried dress no. 2. I took a pic of it on my phone but dismissed it, for whatever reason, despite Rina (the store owner's) protests that it was even nicer looking. Today, while discussing wedding wardrobes with my friend Diana at work, she gave a nod of approval to the satin flare dress but then proceeded to flip out over the sheath. I considered it again and got to thinking that the sheath sounded more sophisticated and may be worth a look. I sought some other opinions that enthusiastically backed Rina and Diana...so I went back to the store, and low and behold, they were totally right. Dress no. 1 is actually better made, and apart from some alterations at the top fit me better off the hanger. It passed the sitdown test, and it was ready to come home with me. I also got to thinking that the less contrast-y colour pallett, along with the splashes of black, would make it appropriate for occasions beyond the summer. Thoughts on that? </p> <p>Now, to accessories. The aforementioned splashes of black make me question whether I can go with my usual much-loves silver accessories. Are they still ok for summer weddings, or should I rethink this? I suspect my tripple strand of champagne pearls will stil lfit the bill, but do I now need to introduce black into the mix or can I save that for winter functions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370872 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:57:18 +0000 rae 370872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370859 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:30:36 +0000 Jonesy 370859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is really, really fantastic! It gets my vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370857 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:27:19 +0000 Freckles 370857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both beautiful dresses but I love number one over number two. I find the cut and fit superior. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370854 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:24:03 +0000 MNsara 370854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am smitten with #1 and hope you were too I think it's a different look for you(?) and very flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370851 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:22:13 +0000 Marley 370851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - OMG Michelle - hot, hot, hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/guessing-game-which-dress-did-i-buy#post-370849 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:15:32 +0000 Sparky 370849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy moly, Michelle! I loved #2 on you before even though it was the wrong size, and I still do, but #1 is SMOKING! Girl, you look fantastic in it.
