It's a happy print with great motif placement. I love the colours!<br /> The dress looks beautiful on you and is definitely not brown.

ACK. I also really like the pants in the shortest length you've shown. Fun. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919537 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:58:58 +0000 Diana 919537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, everyone!&nbsp; I think I will keep both... will crop the pants to shorter length, but given that I managed to fold the entire excess length up into the leg in the last photo, I am not actually going to cut off the extra fabric, just make an extra wide hem.&nbsp; That way, if I change my mind I can still let it back out later.<br /><br />Rae, these are the pants:<br /><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/michael-michael-kors-pants-skinny-floral-print-tuxedo-stripe?ID=803060&amp;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....tripe?ID=8</a><br /><br />(But the website lies.&nbsp; 33 inch inseam my a$$.&nbsp; It's more like 29.)&nbsp; Nordies' might still get them... SA at Macy's yesterday told me they literally just arrived that morning.&nbsp; <br /><br />And your web search karma is better than mine!&nbsp; That is the exact dress, not the Nordie's one I linked earlier.<br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919534 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:50:32 +0000 Angie 919534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the dress links, D &amp; R :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919524 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:24:58 +0000 Wendi1984 919524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the dress on you! The pants are very cute; I think the tuxedo stripe is what makes them special. I'd crop them for sure; I am loving the boyfriend and ankle jeans this year.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919501 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:19:50 +0000 rae 919501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ PS: found the dress online, but it is sold out *everywhere*.

Love the pants. We got tops in this print at work, but not the pants - wish we did! The dress is flat-out divine on you. Keep both, or I will lose my sanity.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919496 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:09:39 +0000 CocoLion 919496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love both items. &nbsp;I think I would prefer the pants longer, with the hem let out, but it's not a deal breaker. &nbsp;They look ok in their present length as well to me, especially if you wore them with a strappy sandal or an ankle bootie. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919489 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 17:52:46 +0000 unfrumped 919489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress is divine; I agree with&nbsp;grabbing an item&nbsp;like this when you find it! Great for the dressy dress capsule--it looks classic in style, a great neutral color&nbsp;and would&nbsp; have&nbsp;good staying power.<br /><br />The pants are truly fun--you wear them well! For me it would be a question of how many times will I wear them--does it justify the fun factor. I'm torn on length because I like them worn as a patterned jean/tuxedo pant with calmer neutral shoes and tops; but the floral does scream summer, so I like the shorter crop the best of the cropped lengths, and then it would go well with sandals too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919466 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 16:43:29 +0000 Diana 919466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, I think it's this one?&nbsp; Not very helpful since it's sold out though...<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lauren-ralph-lauren-metallic-sheath-dress/3193706?cm_cat=partner&amp;cm_ite=1&amp;cm_pla=10&amp;cm_ven=Linkshare&amp;siteId=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-rzjausOEBKsPEqiZdXBN_Q" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la.....38;cm_ite=</a><br /><br />I bought it at Macy's but I can't find it on their website.&nbsp; It was marked down a lot so I think it is an older season color.<br /><br />ETA: I agree it's fantastic for the smaller-on-top.&nbsp; I did not have to size up as I usually do for sheath dresses so the top actually fits.&nbsp; Plus it has little shoulder pads which I love. <br /><br />ETA2: Rae posted the link to the real dress below, which has wider shoulders than the Nordie's version.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess RL makes many versions of this dress.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919415 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 15:02:08 +0000 Angie 919415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana, could you please provide a link to the dress? I think I know which it is, but want to be sure. I have had many clients in this RL dress style over the years. It works especially well on the not so well endowed.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919412 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 14:59:07 +0000 Anonymous 919412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is beautiful!

The dress, I love. You look fabulous in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919356 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:27:16 +0000 amiable 919356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like both - that dress is perfection! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919353 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:24:06 +0000 Suz 919353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I love them both! You are lucking out with the dresses -- this one is glamorous, much sexier than your usual look, while still fitting in beautifully with your overall style persona. It would also pack well (for honeymoon?).&nbsp;<br /><br />The pants seem to fit you great. I'd crop them, I think. First, because it's a lot of pattern, and second, because they really feel like a summer item anyway.&nbsp;Mind you,&nbsp;I have a pair of pants that were just that tiny bit too short. I let down the hems, but they still feel a bit short, so I don't really feel happy with them as is. So I'm speaking from that experience.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919351 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:23:19 +0000 nancylee 919351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana, those pants are so fun! &nbsp;I'm no expert on trousers, but they might look a touch more on trend if you cropped them. &nbsp;Just my two cents!<br /><br />That metallic RL dress is a keeper for sure. &nbsp;Perfect for the wedding event, and so flattering. &nbsp;I have three RL dresses in this cut and find them incredibly useful wardrobe workhorses. &nbsp;Love their fit. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-neon-floral-pants-and-a-metallic-dress#post-919348 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:16:06 +0000 Diana 919348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Went to Macy's yesterday to buy underwear with the friends and family discount and ended up coming home with some pants and a dress, oops (I did get the underwear too though).&nbsp; <br /><br />First up are the pants.&nbsp; These are from Michael Kors, and are pretty crazy, neon floral pants with a tuxedo stripe.&nbsp; The SA said they were brand new, had just arrived a few hours before.&nbsp; They are a little too short, but there is 1" of seam allowance I can let out at the hem, or I could crop them.&nbsp; They are very comfy and the fit is good.&nbsp; J. thinks they are ridiculous, but I love love love the print. &nbsp; I think it's more neon IRL. Keep or return?&nbsp; And if keep, should I let out the hem or crop them?&nbsp; ETA: I added a pic with different potential crop lengths.&nbsp; Which do you like?<br /><br />Next up is a metallic Lauren by Ralph Lauren dress.&nbsp; It has a stretchy lining and a draped outer layer which is very flattering - usually sheath dresses are awful on me.&nbsp; This one does not create a tummy pooch, hooray!&nbsp; I would be able to wear this to the third wedding-related event (reception in Boston in late June) so it's not a totally frivolous purchase.&nbsp; The color is a dark gold/bronze and it's a textured metallic; I hope it does not read as too brown.&nbsp; <br /><br />Thanks for your help!<br /><br />PS - I also tried on these galaxy print track pants, which were pretty awesome but the material was an icky feeling polyester.&nbsp; =(<br /><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/made-fashion-week-for-impulse-pants-galaxy-print-straight-leg?ID=787703&amp;CategoryID=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....ht-leg?ID=</a><br /><br />
