No one will&nbsp;worry about it&nbsp;in the long run. </p> <p>Really, I think it's more important to wear a really nice-fitting dress-- lots of time I'll see someone in a dressy dress or outfit that you just know they "settled" on, because it can be hard to find the right thing, and it isn't flattering at all.</p> <p>I empathize with footwear and so would compensate with the best bling for you and the dress--if the neckline doesn't like a necklace, then sparkly earrings, bracelets. If you have these or are willing to purchase (usually can get okay price point) then you could go very sparkly, with a pink dress, and that plus clutch and shoes would fit the intent of the evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172650 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 17:26:54 +0000 rabbit 1172650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your dress is lovely and will look good with silver. &nbsp;If it were me, I might look briefly for a shrug/cardigan that was dressy if the dinner was going to be indoors, because I get cold.</p> <p>With your size, it might be a bit of a challenge, but places like Ross/Marshalls are also great for when I want a spring, cocktail or formal&nbsp;dress&nbsp;and want to spend less than 20$ for it. &nbsp;(I got a long sleeved&nbsp;navy Calvin Klein wrap dress for 7.50$).&nbsp;As a very infrequent dress wearer, it's also fun to try on a wide variety of looks that I find at these stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172635 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 17:06:27 +0000 MsMaven 1172635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on 8 or 9 cruises--not Carnival, usually Princess--and you outfit will be fine. &nbsp;As others have said, there will be a range of dressiness. &nbsp;I like formal night because some couples just knock themselves out and it's fun to people watch. &nbsp;DH likes to wear his tux (when else will he wear it?) and I've worn my MOG outfit. &nbsp;Still, I prefer to wear either a dressy pants outfit or a mid-length dress and sparkly accessories. &nbsp;It's silly to buy a formal outfit if you are only going to wear it on the cruise. &nbsp;Unless you want to.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172623 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:52:52 +0000 AviaMariah 1172623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that outfit is perfect! &nbsp;I hope you're going someplace warm!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172599 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 16:32:41 +0000 MsMary 1172599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the outfit you've put together will be absolutely fine for the occasion.&nbsp; I think you will find long dresses will be in the minority and some people won't even dress up at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172543 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:36:13 +0000 Karie 1172543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been on a few cruises and formal night doesn't have to be all that formal. You will likely see a big range of dressiness for formal night.&nbsp;The dress you have choses is fine, and the silver accents will take it up a notch. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172497 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:12:23 +0000 shoppingisfun 1172497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Rute the weird thing is I added a silver clutch to that set, but I lost it somehow. I am bad at Polyvore lol. I want to wear my wedges simply because they're already packed. Also, they are my only really dressy heels that I can walk in (my only other shoes that go with this dress are cute black slingbacks, but they are verrrry slippery to walk in and horribly uncomfortable) I would have to buy new shoes, which is not easy because I wear a 5.5 and have narrow feet! </p> <p>I would just buy a LBD but I can't even find anything I like at all (my lifestyle calls for me to wear a dress at weddings and funerals and that is about it!) Also I wear a 00P so there is not much selection. Meh, maybe I should skip formal night lol.</p> <p>I did find this dress at Loft but didn't buy it because it is boring. But maybe it would work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172342 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:56:07 +0000 rute 1172342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been on a cruise recently, it does not implies a long formal dress, but many people wear it.<br />The pink dress is lovely, maybe with other acessories to make it more "night chic":<br />- an heel, as wedges are less formal<br />- a night clutch (with some bling)<br />- a statment necklace</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172339 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:42:48 +0000 shoppingisfun 1172339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well my friend (who has been on a million Carnival cruises) says there is quite a range of "dressiness" on formal night, and that a short dress is okay,but I'm mot sure on the styling. I wish I owned a LBD but I haven't seen any I like in a size I can wear and a price I am willing to pay for something I will barely ever wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172336 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:26:43 +0000 Mander 1172336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, why not? The only thing I hesitate about is whether "elegant night" implies a long formal gown.&nbsp; But I think the combination you show here is promising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-and-silver-for-cruise-elegant-night#post-1172334 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:24:39 +0000 shoppingisfun 1172334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going on my first cruise on 3/22! The day before, I will be in a wedding.&nbsp;There will be a "formal dinner" night on the cruise (it's a Carnival cruise, so I doubt people will be wearing tuxes and ballgowns, but I have never been on a cruise so I don't know). I already have to pack my silver strappy wedges and silver accessories, as they are part of my bridesmaid ensemble. I don't want to pack a second pair of dressy shoes. I only own one dress (apart form the bridesmaid dress, and I'm not re-wearing that one). What I'm wondering is, can my pink sheath dress be styled with silver accessories in spring? See below for the collage of what I am thinking about wearing. I suck at dressing up, so all opinions are appreciated! </p> <p></p>
