You're the only woman I know who makes stockings look sexy!!! And dressy!!! (Regular people like me look and feel super frumpy in stockings, believe me) You proved that with the Vince dress </p> <p>You're going to look smashing at the wedding. Yay! A trip to NY and a mix of Jewish-Russian wedding festivities.....Hmmm, I think you're in for a very interesting and FUN quick holiday! Have fun, Jaime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1562103 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:48:04 +0000 Jaime 1562103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to bump this, but I have to say THANK YOU to Janet and Ginger and Aida for your brilliant hose suggestions. Janet your pick is on its way to my SIL.&nbsp;</p> <p>Diana, it should be an interesting mix of characters as family gatherings always are. The bride's family is from Russia and their will be Russian music along with traditional Jewish stuff and who knows what else.</p> <p>Angie, a big hug for using your arm, although you shouldn't have!</p> <p>And finally - hair trim is scheduled for Weds. You all made the decision so easy! Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561474 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 21:39:16 +0000 Aida 1561474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great advice already.

Love the fishnets idea. And ditto everyone on the hair--I, too, understand wanting a change even though the style is amazing on you. Post-wedding would probably be a better time, though. Have a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561351 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 16:20:07 +0000 texstyle 1561351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAilleen had it right - great dress and the fishnets will be perfect! Please don't change your hair too much - it is so wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561314 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 14:26:28 +0000 Diana 1561314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of that dress with the big fishnets! I think it'll be great for the wedding - it being Long Island you might have some women in flashy gowns or borderline inappropriately flamboyant dresses ( depends on the crowd of course) but you'll be just fine.</p> <p>Oh, and I love your hair as is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561302 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 13:57:20 +0000 Peri 1561302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes along with everyone else! I love that dress. And I would postpone a hair change til after, otherwise you will still be learning how to deal with it, right when you want it to be reliable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561298 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 13:52:09 +0000 Gail 1561298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your dress and I think the fish nets will work well. <br />I agree from experience with everyone else about not changing your hair right before the wedding. I had a super short haircut before my sister in laws wedding years ago. It was absolutely horrid and of course I was in all the pictures ! I was totally miserable. My sister in law ended up getting divorced after 5 years and luckily for me &nbsp;those pictures were banished from all our homes :)) I will NEVER make the same mistake again.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561294 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 13:42:26 +0000 Angie 1561294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EXACTLY what JAilleen said.

I love your asymmetric hair and even though I think you could wear that style you posted, I think it would be a bit more conventional. </p> <p>Here are some fishnets that look like the ones you posted: </p> <p><a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/fencenet-pantyhose?t=7530&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.sockdreams.com/prod.....0&#038;amp</a>; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561264 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 12:24:05 +0000 Jaime 1561264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Denise</b> I am just a show dabbler and only peek at the ones that catch my eye for one reason or the other. The stockings did catch my eye. So did Cristopher Kane and Paul Smith lately.<br /><b>Tulle</b> I don't have a source, and I am still looking. The closest I have found are costume shops and porn sites. Hmm. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!<br /><b>Skylurker </b>you picked up on the family situation in your usual perceptive way.<b>&nbsp;</b>As for my hair,<b>&nbsp;</b>it is not really that I want to look more conventional, but after seeing myself so long with this style I guess I am feeling restless.<br />But I will keep it at least for the wedding, since it won't grow enough for anything els<b></b>e in the next few weeks. Still contemplating shoes.</p> <p><b>Aliona </b>you understood me exactly. After a while it just no longer looks fresh and different, but I should bear in mind that most people don't look at me nearly as often as I do.</p> <p><b>Aquamarine</b> I don't think of it as shallow, just practical. The wedding pictures that I will appear in will be a large overlapping set with the groups from my son's bar mitzvah. It would just seem wrong to be wearing the same dress somehow.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561244 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 11:49:40 +0000 Aquamarine 1561244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with all of the above! </p> <p>I understand not wanting to wear the same dress for every major event. I even posted a question on that last year...now that everything is on Facebook it makes me think twice about what to wear and how it will be perceived. ("She's wearing that dress again.") Does that make me shallow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561234 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 11:29:47 +0000 Anonymous 1561234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing 100% on your wedding attire. You will look sensational. I love that beautiful dress and how nice to have another occasion to wear it. </p> <p>I completely understand your desire to change your hair, I have an assymetrical cut and there's something about them that makes you turn from feeling cutting edge and chic to bored in an instant, with no reversal of feeling. But I'm with Skylurker, it can be a bit risky to switch before an event, especially because styling in a new climate can bring its own challenges. I'd stay with what you know and investigate possibilities later when there's time to contemplate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561230 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 11:06:52 +0000 skylurker 1561230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my. Family politics. I sympathize.</p> <p>You're a daredevil, changing your haircut before a wedding, no, I wouldn't recommend that (I'm a chicken though).<br />Yasmin's cut is classic and conventional compared to yours, is that the direction you want to go?</p> <p>You look great in the dress. Have the shoes planned? Eventual topper if it's cold? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561220 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 10:13:40 +0000 Karie 1561220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to echo everyone else.

Jaileen it is unanimous. I am booking an appointment for a trim today.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Una, I don't want every family picture of me to star the Vince dress or it would be a strong contender - possibly with a pencil skirt underneath, not that I tried that yet.

Yes to the dress<br /> 2. Yes to the fishnets<br /> 3. Don't mess with your hair<br /> That is all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-going-to-a-wedding-in-ny-soon#post-1561103 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 02:10:28 +0000 Jaime 1561103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not grow up in an especially big family and the workings of DH's have never ceased to amaze me even after 15+ years. Anyway, without getting into the details of how the clan works, we are coming to New York in October for the briefest possible time to attend our nephew's wedding. I have questions.</p> <p>1. It is a day wedding on Long Island. MOG is wearing a gown but I think a dress is sufficient. Right?<br />2. The theme color is navy, whatever that means, but I am pretty stuck on the idea of wearing this dress (pic #1). I am a little burnt out on dress shopping right now. I am picturing it with big fishnets ala pic #2 (Creatures of the Wind show last week).<br />Very open to suggestions.<br />3. My hair. Despite having the most successful haircut of my life, I am a little antsy to try something new. I am thinking of something like this (realizing I have neither Yasmin Sewell's face shape, youth, nor looks). But it is pretty fuzzy right now. Should I get it cut for the wedding or persevere?</p> <p>Thoughts and opinions on any or all of these will be greatly appreciated! </p>
