I conflated Mr. Dress-up and The Friendly Giant! Finnegan and Rusty (...and I'll call Rusty...) were on TFG! I can't believe I did that. I preferred TFG, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk/page/2#post-1291703 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 22:07:08 +0000 Kat 1291703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the final look! &nbsp;I sincerely hope you have a ball and it was fun to watch the iterative process. &nbsp;You rock that color scheme.</p> <p>Also love the Mr. Dressup call-out. &nbsp;While my younger sister was a Polka Dot Door fan, I thought The Friendly Giant was the very best of the lot. &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk/page/2#post-1291693 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 21:57:22 +0000 Alana in Canada 1291693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling--thanks for understanding!

I'm glad you found a look for the wedding that is both beautiful to look at from the outside and comfortable for you from the inside (if that makes sense, LOL).</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk/page/2#post-1291079 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 01:49:52 +0000 Alana in Canada 1291079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Museumgal--you are right, of course.<br />It has been 100 years since I have worn a dress. It's about getting it "right" of course--but it is also about trying things out and seeing how it works together. I have no idea what makes me comfortable/uncomfortable--so this is just all part of the discovery process. That's in part why I titled the thread the way I did--I am trying on personas as well as clothing and seeing what different looks feel like, that's all.</p> <p>And wow, if that's not an example of "over-thinking" something, I don't know what is, lol! (I do it a lot.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk/page/2#post-1291072 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 01:39:53 +0000 MuseumGal 1291072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana you are overthinking this!&nbsp; Both scarves look fine, and whatever jewlery you like will be fine too.&nbsp; You family is interested in having you and your killer smile/personality there; they won't care about the rest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk#post-1291069 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 01:36:26 +0000 Alana in Canada 1291069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cjh--yes, that is a touch of sunburn. I am hoping it'll all even out by the wedding. But a little powder won't hurt at all.<br />I tried me new glasses with the ensemble below as you suggested--but one of the reasons I decided to return them was that I just don't feel pretty in them. I feel like a scolding school marm.<br />&nbsp;<br />So, hey.&nbsp;Yay! I got it.Total style smile.</p> <p>I realised that though this may not be too much skin for some, it was too much skin for me--especially at a wedding where my mother in law is the bride's grandmother! (That makes it my husband's niece who is getting married in case you are trying to figure it out.)</p> <p>This time, I took my daughter with me (and we both thought that "Mother and daughter go shopping" would be a great "reality TV" show!)--she found the plain orangey-coral scarf within seconds. It is paler than the first one which is nice--more an orange sherbet. (I am blessed that she likes to go shopping with me)</p> <p>Sorry I cut my feet off--same shoes as before. In fact, I apologise for the thoroughly crappy photo but the camera battery died just as I took this.</p> <p>Thanks everyone--that was a ton of fun!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk#post-1291067 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 01:33:43 +0000 Windchime 1291067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the lovely orange scarf from me. But you are the one who needs to feel comfortable with the cut of the dress. I have some very conservative inlaws, and I would not wear a lower-cut type of neckline if I was visiting them. With some of my other relatives, I would wear it in a heartbeat. So it depends on the situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk#post-1291049 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 01:14:34 +0000 Travelgal Nicole 1291049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like the dress with the orange scarf as well.&nbsp; The pattern on pattern is subtle but vibrant.&nbsp; And I like the earrings too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk#post-1290995 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 23:38:58 +0000 cjh 1290995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you taken back the new glasses yet?&nbsp; If not, put them on with this ensemble and see what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk#post-1290992 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 23:37:34 +0000 cjh 1290992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, just putting in my two cents.&nbsp; LOVE the dress, love the orange scarf/shawl and earrings.&nbsp; Very summery and nice and bright.&nbsp; Looks like you are "dressed up", by accessorizing with cute and current items, no frump or fuss involved. You will look great and appropriate for a summer wedding.&nbsp;(And I always try to remember that people will be looking at the bride anyway! I always love to compliment the mothers of bride and groom on how beautiful they look, and get lovely smiles in return.)</p> <p>Not sure if you would feel less bare if you used a bit of powder to even out the skin color on your neck and chest? My eyes detect a smidge of sunburn? and then seeing&nbsp;the paler area that isn't sunned might make you feel more&nbsp;"exposed". I may be all wrong, of course.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-for-the-tickle-trunk#post-1290928 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 21:14:29 +0000 Alana in Canada 1290928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok--so I see we're going to have a divide between team pattern and team plain--and also team necklace vs team earrings, lol! </p>
