Calling me. Sigh--it is so hard for some of us to find a decent dress that it is a shame to pass it up. </p> <p>Thanks for posting this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress/page/2#post-641674 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:30:51 +0000 velvetychocolate 641674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are really nice-looking sandals and a great sale-price! I'm a bit leery of shoes with a heel of more than about 2" tops, but if you're used to the heel height and know that the brand is comfortable, then I'd say you've found a fab find!</p> <p>Meanwhile - I still love that dress. I hope it's on your wishlist and that you'll keep an eye on it. It's a beautiful colour and I can see it looking fabulous on you. If nothing comes up (sale-wise) with this dress during NAS, do you think you'll end up ordering it? </p> <p>Looking forward to hearing what others think of the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress/page/2#post-641623 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:49:42 +0000 Jenava 641623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the shoes I bought today. With my discount they were about $60. I've been realizing I have very few sandals after a major purge a few months ago, and no way to show off my pedicure! these are very cushioned and the blush color will go with everything in my closet...and the height is good; a little high, but I think that will actually make them more versatile because I don't have many shoes this height and sometimes I want a bit higher heel (and the footbed is very cushioned as always with corso como shoes).</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/corso-como-davinci-sandal/3234994" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/co.....al/3234994</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress/page/2#post-641618 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:44:50 +0000 Jenava 641618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I ended up NOT ordering it for the time being. it's still on my wishlist, but I purchased a pair of shoes for about that price today at the shoe sale, and I'm having to swap out a pair of jeans I got in the wrong size...long story...so I need to wait till next month to stay within budget...and to Nancy's point I want to see what else might pop up in this color at NAS! fingers crossed it's still available by then...</p> <p>Tracy, I'm so excited that you ordered it! Please, please PM me when you post photos so I get the chance to see (during the week my forum time is limited). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress/page/2#post-640948 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:33:37 +0000 MNsara 640948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to come back to add, and, lo and behold, Jonesy &amp; VC said it for me but I'll repeat: Have you even tried it? That could be the end of it right there!</p> <p>If it looks good on, you can always buy and wait to see the NAS offerings. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress/page/2#post-640947 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:32:45 +0000 Amy 640947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Jenava, it's beautiful. I know that color would fit into your wardrobe wonderfully and be flattering on. Needs vs. Wants...hmm...that's difficult. Flip a coin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640943 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:24:09 +0000 Abie 640943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buy the dress, crop your own jeans, and wait for the sale for booties? It really is a lovely dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640934 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:44:41 +0000 Traci 640934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, now your choices are a. Live vicariously through me or b. be dress twins with me because I just ordered it. I had a similarly colored dress in a much less fab cut this spring and I wore it to death. It was a quick death due to the cheap fabrication! I'm hoping that this fits right into the hole left by that dress. It seems so versatile w/o being boring. I like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640929 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:35:38 +0000 nancylee 640929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, I'm not going to talk you out of it either. It's gorgeous...especially for the price. That "currant" is a great color, like Janet said, and I think variations of it are going to be available this fall:</p> <p><a href="http://www.refinery29.com/2012-color-trends" rel="nofollow">http://www.refinery29.com/2012-color-trends</a></p> <p>Hmm. Since you might see more of this color soon, maybe that's an argument for holding out to see what's offered at the NAS? On the other hand, it wouldn't hurt to try it on. (Selfishly, I'd like to know it fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640926 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:23:02 +0000 Janet 640926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not only can I not talk you out of it convincingly, I'm also eyeing it for myself. Looks like a great option for dressing up or down (I can see it as a cocktail dress but also dressed down with a jacket and boots). Such a beautiful cut. And that color, which seems particlarly nice on someone with coloring like yours and mine, is not so easy to find lately -- I wonder if it's coming back for the fall season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640900 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 06:58:18 +0000 christieanne 640900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might as well try it on and see if you love it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640868 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:23:21 +0000 velvetychocolate 640868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am having a hard time with the idea of talking you out of this dress - it's gorgeous, it would look amazing on you, and furthermore - it's not all that expensive, imo. When I first clicked on the link, I was expecting a more expensive dress. </p> <p>Sure, it might go on sale ...are you willing to wait for that? What are the chances of this thing selling out before it goes on sale (*if* it goes on sale in the near future) ? </p> <p>I like this dress a lot, and it's quite reasonably priced, given that it's not even on sale yet. </p> <p>If this is something you'd be very disappointed to miss out on, then this might be one of those BBQ things. </p> <p>What do you think? Is it a BBQ item? Will you be let down if you wait and miss out on it? </p> <p>I guess the only thing I can say is that I have waited on items that were featured in NAS, and have also noticed how those items are often offered for far less than the NAS price several weeks later, but inevitably - I end up missing out on them, so the moral of the story is that I'd have been better off to buy it right off the bat, during NAS, instead of being indecisive about things. </p> <p>You know what? I think in this case, I'd just buy dress. I'm thinking there is an extremely good return policy at Nordstrom, and if by some chance it happened to get marked down during NAS and you hadn't worn it yet, or taken off the tags, then you could simply return and re-buy it or ask for a price adjustment. </p> <p>Having said that, I don't think price is as much of a concern with this item, given that it's not all that expensive (at full price) to begin with. </p> <p>I hate to be an enabler, but I'd just get the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640858 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:00:18 +0000 fashionista 640858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640837 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:13:18 +0000 ManidipaM 640837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, that's a tough one! My first instinct was to say 'NO, go fill 'em gaps first!'... But then I remembered how hard it is to find one perfect dress... </p> <p>Jenava, how many dresses do you have already? Would this be substantially different from the others in your closet? Have you tried it on to make sure it's perfect?</p> <p>Also, how much leeway do you have for 'surprise'/unplanned purchases in your budget? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640832 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:07:18 +0000 Jonesy 640832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful and I can totally see you layering it--seems versatile. The color would look fab on you too. But...maybe you should just try it on? You might hear the angels singing in unison when you see it on, or not, and then you can be done with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640829 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:04:50 +0000 Jenava 640829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, and...the voices of reason have arrived!</p> <p>I'm not worried about layering with it. I have several sleeveless dresses that I still wear year round. And I'm NOT just saying that because I want the dress...I have proof!</p> <p>But, the point about NAS does give me pause...and there is a Jil Sander pencil skirt that I could save up for...Although it's so expensive I wouldn't dare buy it unless it were at least 40% off and it probably won't get marked down...</p> <p>And my completer items are just SO BORING! (-: And I'm not desperate for anything...cropped jeans in Seattle really aren't that necessary, and I am waiting till NAS to find my neutral color booties...</p> <p>I'm still on the fence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640809 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:37:03 +0000 annagybe 640809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it's great dress, but I'd hold out. You'd always have to layer in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640792 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:05:49 +0000 Kristin L 640792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is pretty, but you could probably use the gift card to go towards the things you need. Also, how much wear would you get out of it? And would it be in style long enough for you get multiple wears out of it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640787 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:58:34 +0000 christy 640787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhh....Marianna makes an excellent point.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640780 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:42:40 +0000 marianna 640780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous, but NAS is right around the corner... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640776 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:35:36 +0000 Isis 640776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rae. It's a gorgeous dress, but spend your budget and giftcard on gorgeous outfit completers, if that is what you need! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640769 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:30:15 +0000 rae 640769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you said you don't need a sleeveless dress and you DO need other things, I vote to take care of the needs first. :T</p> <p>I'm such a downer today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640758 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:17:20 +0000 christy 640758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Kari - too true! Jenava, this is a beautiful dress and I can imagine this color is PERFECT for you. It sounds like you've figured out how to style it for our Seattle weather, since you won't get to wear it without a topper very often. For me, that's becoming a bit of a deal breaker when it comes to dresses because I have too many sleeveless orphans that I never wear. Have you tried it on? Does it play nice with the jackets you are envisioning?</p> <p>As to whether or not you should buy it...I think we should have guidelines for shopping (what holes do I need to fill, etc.) but part of the fun of shopping and fashion is finding that *perfect* piece. Is this that perfect piece that makes you willing to forgo buying some outfit completers for a while? </p> <p>(psst: I LOVE it) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-talk-me-out-of-this-dress#post-640753 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:14:23 +0000 Jaime 640753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, no can do with the dis-enabling.
