Or maybe the purple one you wore with leggings, with a cardi over it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73113 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:29:40 +0000 shell 73113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i had the same idea as chris! the brown dress looks fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73095 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 02:48:20 +0000 Chris 73095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't find anything within budget, how about your brown dress that you posted was too dark? If you added some turquoise accessories I think it would be great - fit is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73088 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 02:06:30 +0000 Ariadne 73088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. I did get the white dress at Jacob, Angie, but when I took photos it just looked very blah. I saw a white dress at Winners that I may go try again... Mexx didn't have anything but I'll check again too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73080 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:48:40 +0000 Angie 73080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the wedges, Bri, but the dress does not do gorgeous you justice. Get your pretty little self back to Jacob and get the white frock you liked. See if Mexx has anything else too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73077 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:37:58 +0000 Ariadne 73077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana, I didn't order the cami--I chickened out since I wouldn't be able to return it if it didn't work. I wish I had now, though! We will see what I can find tomorrow when my mom has the Chickadee while I go downtown to get my hair done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73062 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:55:14 +0000 shana 73062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - you can do better! I thought you once mentioned trying the Victoria Cami at J. Crew for the Baptism - did you ever end up ordering it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73057 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:40:48 +0000 Vani 73057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree Brianna, that color and cut are just not you. I hope you find something that works for you, and soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73051 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:08:06 +0000 Ariadne 73051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, some of those dresses are great. Now if I only I could find something similar in stores that I could afford and that worked on me.</p> <p>Chewy, the leggings/dresses combo is too casual to me. I still want to be a BIT dressy (dressier than the rest of the congregation) and to me the leggings and dresses are equivalent to denim and a top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73049 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:58:21 +0000 chewyspaghetti 73049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh rats Brianna- I didn't realize that you were in Canada. Why wouldn't one of your fab dress/leggings looks work if you can't find something else? I think you said that your church is very casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73047 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:45:09 +0000 Maya 73047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the girls. The color and particularly the print of this dress just don't do it for me, and the fit doesn't do you justice either.

I don't think the dress is cheap looking, but I have definitely seen you in other frocks that are more flattering for your figure. I think the color and cut of this one doesn't do justice to your figure and complexion. On the other hand, if you're perhaps considering wearing a wrap up in a brighter color, it could totally work. (so that you have more light around your face) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-outfit-for-baptism-having-doubts#post-73004 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:48:43 +0000 Ariadne 73004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have rare free time today so I'm doing all my posting at once.</p> <p>This is what I’m considering wearing for the Chickadee’s baptism in 2 weeks. I got the dress at a consignment store. I wanted something light and summery, appropriate for a casual morning church service. Now I’m worried it’s too frou-frou, pale, cheap-loooking and juvenile for me, and that the bias-cut chiffon-esque fabric doesn’t provide enough structure or definition for my figure. It also feels like it's too lightweight and girly for my haircut and shape/weight. What do you all think? I was really wanting something like the white dress with black flowers that Angie found at Club Monaco, but didn't see it in store when I was there (I could check tomorrow though, depending on how expensive it is).</p> <p>The wedge shoes are by Artisan by Clarks, and can be returned if the dress is a no-go (the dress is non-returnable but I can probably re-consign it at another consignment store, and if not, it was only $29).</p> <p><a href="http://unfashioned.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/possible-outfit-for-babys-baptism/" rel="nofollow">http://unfashioned.wordpress.c.....s-baptism/</a> </p>
