They don't look good together. </p> <p>@Sheila, people tend to really dress up for a Russian restaurant banquet, much more so than a normal American event. Anything that you would consider wearing in daylight would not be appropriate. The tighter, sparklier and shorter the better. Bling is king. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876908 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:59:37 +0000 krishnidoux 876908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Consign it.

Is this a special format for a party, or simply a restaurant that serves Russian cuisine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876855 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:28:59 +0000 Mochi 876855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops, LOL</p> <p>But remember, I don't think you look cheap. </p> <p>Was just thinking about this--your instincts are usually spot on, so when something unusual comes up, like this dress, it throws me and I figure you must have your reasons. Anyway, it's not the greatest dress but I'm sure you can figure a way to improve it I'm sure Claire could perform some DIY miracle here. </p> <p>Don't obsess over the money. Do you know how much people spend on lattes alone? Everyone messes up sometimes and this wasn't even disastrous by a long shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876852 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:27:53 +0000 sarah 876852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, don't be too hard on yourself. We've all been there, and you are still a super stylish lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876824 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:56:21 +0000 Sarah A 876824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I feel your pain. Almost anything I have kept without YLF approval has become an orphan. Live and learn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876822 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:55:00 +0000 Anonymous 876822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Side note which is completely irrelevant: You do not look cheap. I have been to Russian banquets. This is a very appropiate frock for the event. I would never wear the "standard issue YLF frock" for those things, I would look like a nun. I go "hoochie" darling. Same for Colombian parties. You gotta dress the part. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876821 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:54:56 +0000 ironkurtin 876821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, you do not look cheap.</p> <p>I routinely ignore YLF. Can't say it's backfired much either! Sorry to hear it did on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876811 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:50:47 +0000 modgrl 876811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Mochi, I'm not sure if you are remembering correctly... the dress wasn't cheap but I look cheap in it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876787 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:29:28 +0000 Suz 876787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HUGS, Rita. Sometimes we are just feeling pushed to the wall and do the BBQ thing, and sometimes a good price convinces us over our better wisdom. I remember this one....but hey, I have made big mistakes and my solution was passing the stuff along to YLF friends who would look better in it/ find a use for it/ had a better climate for it. </p> <p>And you have had far more shopping successes than failures. I think we ALL continue to make mistakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876782 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:24:56 +0000 Mochi 876782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, to be honest I didn't like it either But I remember it was cheap! </p> <p>Don't sweat it. I have made much more costly sartorial screwups. Haven't we all? Your wardrobe is mostly pretty damn awesome so chalk it up to experience.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876775 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:17:24 +0000 kellygirl 876775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! So funny. At least you aren't wishy washy like me. I go back and forth, ad infinitum. "Cut the tags...no, wait, maybe not...definitely return...but it is so cute...." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876774 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:16:13 +0000 Anonymous 876774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the same thing too. When I bought by BB shirts, Angie told me to size up. I was lazy and did not want to got thru the hassle of exchanging... and snippety snip, I cut the tags. I ended up giving the smaller ones to my daughter and had to rebuy the right size Agh...</p> <p>I'm sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876759 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:09:09 +0000 modgrl 876759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kelly! I am still too swayed by my heart. I see something in the mirror that my mind knows is not quite right but my heart drowns out the logic - CUT THE TAGS - it always screams!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876755 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:07:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 876755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I doubt that even Angie has never purchased an item and had regrets later. I doubt any of us will ever get to the point that we never make mistakes. It just happens.</p> <p>You have great fashion sense so don't let it shake your confidence at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876752 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:06:09 +0000 kellygirl 876752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commiserating with you. I think we've all experienced this--that's why I have a hard time cutting tags without YLF approval. I have a couple of things that I wish I posted K/R on myself. Don't beat yourself up over it. You look pretty darn sassy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-didnt-listen-to-ylf#post-876725 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:51:01 +0000 modgrl 876725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted this Tom Ford copy cat dress.... </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bebe-dress" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....bebe-dress</a></p> <p>Thought I would wear it to my Russian restaurant parties. </p> <p>I tried it on last night and I simply do not like it anymore. Ugh! </p> <p>After two years on YLF, I am still making shopping mistakes! I am so mad at myself. I could have bought a dress that I would actually wear for the money I spent on this thing!! </p>
