The headband is very cool, but is this the right event for it? If the crowd was glam/clubby/cool, I'd say perfect, but the reference to slacks, especially applied as dress advice for you of all people, is throwing me off here. Janet on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311303 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 21:20:06 +0000 Janet 1311303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's a bummer. I am not a big fan of the casualization of EVERYTHING. Sometimes I just want a good excuse to dress up, you know?  Well, it's a chance to save a few bucks and shop your amazingly fab closet. I agree the DVF will be perfect. With or without headpiece!  Slacks??? Sigh.

Anonymous on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311241 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 20:32:52 +0000 Anonymous 1311241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I suspect that all the casual weddings and such are because the men refuse to dress up and probably don't even own a suit. I'm with Mo, wear what you have and save the $$$.  The DVF dress seems perfect.  However, the BCBG dress is beautiful.  Could you wear it to the opera?  Then you wouldn't have to worry about outshining a bride. viva on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311228 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 20:20:11 +0000 viva 1311228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Adore the DVF dress. Love the pedi and footwear plan. If you have the bank for the headband and can't get your mind off it, it will look stunning.

You could wear your beautiful dressy clothes every day and never have to worry about these stupid casual dress clothes. And certainly never wear slacks! xx cciele on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311210 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 20:08:49 +0000 cciele 1311210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooo sounds like a fun outfit, the DVF + Cherries! Can't wait to see. And, slacks?!? Who wears slacks for a reception/dancing? goldenpig on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311205 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 20:05:19 +0000 goldenpig 1311205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay, cherries and DVF dress. You are making me want to pull out my cherry dress! Thistle on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311199 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:56:19 +0000 Thistle 1311199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I go with Mo. Instant savings. Save it for,vacation or put it towards something special. The DVF dress is gorgeous. I totally love it. While I like the head band, I would be concerned about upstaging the bride. The attention should really be on her, and it seems very cool but very attention getting. rachylou on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return/page/2#post-1311198 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:55:42 +0000 rachylou 1311198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look incredible in that black dress.

To Anna. Has she ever met you? Now I'm mentally designing some "slacks" that would be very dance-able, and go with that headpiece. annagybe on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311183 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:41:35 +0000 annagybe 1311183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shoes I'm going to wear are a simple black leather heeled sandal. Suz on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311175 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:32:55 +0000 Suz 1311175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, that headpiece is so amazing!!!! And so is the dress. What an outfit that would have been. It makes me so mad that there is almost nowhere to dress up these days. ARGHHHH!!!! Where's the fun in that?  I do think the DVF is also an incredible dress. And looks spectacular on you. So you could wear the dress instead and keep the headband. Or just keep both. Life is short.  annagybe on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311172 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:30:06 +0000 annagybe 1311172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Don't own red shoes, my toes have a current pedicure of red sparkly polish. Going to get a silver giltter shellac manicure today.

Anonymous on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311168 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:27:57 +0000 Anonymous 1311168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the BCBG dress and the headband. Gorgeous both of them! I do love the DVF dress a lot too. I do think you should keep the BCBG dress even if you don't keep the headband, but surely there may be something in the future to wear it to? annagybe on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311165 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:24:13 +0000 annagybe 1311165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Split the difference? DVF dress and cherry headpiece. I really like the headpiece. Luckily I didn't invest in shoes for this which I considered.  Beth Ann on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311163 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:23:56 +0000 Beth Ann 1311163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Weddings -- the last bastion of dressing up!  So very sad.  I do like your DVF a lot --- the new BCBG dress is versatile -- it would be terrific worn under a moto with RATE boots, or dressed up for the opera.  You could still wear it. I think anyone who knows you might be the teensiest bit scared to suggest you wear "slacks."  Someone asked me to dress like a Pastor's wife once.  Once.  I teased my hair to heaven and wore head to toe purple. carambola on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311161 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:21:09 +0000 carambola 1311161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, that DVF dress is stunning on you. I vote wear that unless you really, really love the BCBG. Sylvie on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311142 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 18:40:47 +0000 Sylvie 1311142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anna, I wish I could have invited you to my wedding.  The reception was supposed to be a glamorous, impossible to overdress event.  One person wore jeans.  Another person wore slacks.  Ugh. If there's a DJ and it's an evening party, surely you could at least break out the dress? modgrl on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311108 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 17:46:05 +0000 modgrl 1311108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The dress you already have is pretty great....  rachylou on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311098 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 17:38:31 +0000 rachylou 1311098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *Sigh.* I liked the fascinator. Where has all the fun gone? doubleh on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311087 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 17:29:04 +0000 doubleh 1311087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hate the word "sl---".  Ugh, I can't even spell it.  But that headpiece seems it was made to "be" the occasion, so I think you should keep.  Something will come up.

My gut says screw "dress casual" and be you. We get so few opportunities to dress up these days - and it's always better to be overdressed than underdressed. Your outfit looks like a blast! ETA: Holy moly, that is a smoking hot frock! KEEP! WEAR! ETA#2: Wait, that's the one you already have. Haha! It looks great on you. annagybe on "Sad return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-return#post-1311079 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 17:23:26 +0000 annagybe 1311079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's the DVF slouchy dress.
