I decided to try for pumps or ballet flats. I ended up with the AGL shoes below, which I think may have been on sale at the NAS. I liked the pointy toe with the studs the best, but they were not as comfortable as the wedge shoes. I think it would be tempting fate to wear pointy toes two days in a row. I wish they were all patent leather instead of just the toe. I like the way they look from the front.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll try on the shoes with the dress tomorrow. I wore myself out--I don't have the stamina for shopping I used to have. They are very comfortable--I've been wearing them around the house. This brand had not yet attracted my attention, but I like what I saw today.&nbsp;</p> <p>There was also a pair of just in Paul Green shoes I liked, but they were a bit too wintry and also a tiny bit too tight.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I've got to figure out the jewelry and bag. The first pair are mine, the second--well maybe later. If it is anything like the rehearsal last year, we'll be standing around a lot.</p> <p>Thanks for everyone's input.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539867 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 01:05:42 +0000 Angie 1539867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are going to love black pumps with that dress. Easy to match with sheer black hose too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539854 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 00:32:43 +0000 Windchime 1539854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote to wear the giraffe dress to the rehearsal. And wear it for other occasions after this wedding, because it looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539845 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 00:14:59 +0000 tulle 1539845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That giraffe dress is a stunner--what fun!&nbsp; I agree with Angie that some sharp black shoes would take it up even another notch, but I'm not as sure as everyone else about the length.&nbsp; There's nothing wrong with it, and I know longer lengths are trending, but I would be inclined to play with pinning it up anyway;&nbsp; an inch shorter might make a big difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539169 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:07:08 +0000 Jeweled 1539169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an awesome outfit for this wedding event!&nbsp; The bride and everyone else will love how charmingly your dress fits the theme.&nbsp; Even the giraffes in the nearby enclosure will approve, and recognize you as a kindred spirit. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539166 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:05:07 +0000 MsMaven 1539166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to your input I will wear the giraffe dress confidently and just the way it is, no Spanx. It occurs that my 4 and 6 year-old grandsons are going to be tickled with the dress.</p> <p>Angie: with your comment i realized I don't have a pair of black shoes other than sneakers or slip on sneakers. A few years ago my dress shoes were mainly black and then I went the opposite direction.</p> <p>I'll wait to decided on the green dress with the Spanx slip. The slip is comfortable enough that I can forget about it. I'll wear it around and make certain it doesn't ride up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for your input. I think this will be a fun wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539078 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 17:34:05 +0000 Echo 1539078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, definitely wear the giraffe dress to the rehearsal! You look fab in it, and I love the length just as it is. The shapewear doesn't make a lot of difference to my eye, so I suggest only wearing it if it is comfortable and makes you feel more confident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1539010 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 15:20:34 +0000 Ankita 1539010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super in the giraffe dress and I agree with Angie, it looks perfect at this length to me.&nbsp;<br />It's got such a fun vibe to it... I'm sure you'll get a zillion compliments!&nbsp;<br />I hope you have a great time :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538981 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 14:38:22 +0000 Angie 1538981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look Killer Stunning in #2. WOW. <b>Do not shorten</b>. Needs lovely black shoes and sheer black hose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538978 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 14:31:41 +0000 JAileen 1538978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the Stuart Weitzman shoes comfortable? I've been looking for some shoes for a wedding I'll be attending, with a lower heel. I keep seeing these, but the price is putting me off. Still, if they're comfortable...</p> <p>Oh, giraffe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538899 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 11:18:11 +0000 Maneera 1538899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely wear the giraffe dress! It looks great!</p> <p>I love your green dress. The spanx makes no difference for your front view but I can notice slight shaping in the back view. Wear it if it's comfortable. Love those shoes &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538834 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 05:24:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1538834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for wearing the giraffe dress to the rehearsal. I'm not sure about shortening; I think the length looks good with the heels. <br />Truthfully, I think photos 3 and 4 are a tad more flattering than 5-6. It may be lighting. But it makes me think you should wear the Spanx slip only if it's comfortable enough and you feel better in it. <br />You'll be gorgeous! Hope you have a wonderful time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538823 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:43:52 +0000 MsMary 1538823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! The giraffe dress is fab!! Definitely wear it to the rehearsal dinner! So fun!</p> <p>I can barely tell the difference with the shapewear so if it's uncomfortable I'd skip it. I agree with Kelly that nude hose would be fresher looking than black.</p> <p>Have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538789 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 02:18:24 +0000 Elly 1538789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the giraffe dress. I'd wear it to the wedding, but that is me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538778 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 01:56:45 +0000 kellygirl 1538778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the giraffe dress and think the length looks perfect--especially with the SWs. &nbsp;I'd absolutely wear that. I agree that the shaper smooths things out a bit but I'd only wear it if its comfortable. I think black hose might look kind of heavy--I like nude. Sounds like an awesome venue!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538743 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 00:49:09 +0000 donnat 1538743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutly wear that giraffe dress to the rehearsal. That would be such fun. The Spanx slip does a nice job of smoothing, I can really notice the difference at the back. I don't think you should shorten, but if you feel more comfortable.... it looks great as is. I think natural color hose is more summery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-1-rehearsal-update#post-1538717 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 23:57:50 +0000 MsMaven 1538717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoe update: Love can be painful at times. So I sent back the size 11 Stuart Weitzman shoes and now have the 10 1/2s. I love them. They are just the look I want. I added the metatarsal pad as instructed by podiatrist (haven't posted about that visit yet) and the shoes fit pretty well. I will need more arch support and will get some gel ones next week. I can't put in Footpetals to support the ball of the foot because it makes the shoe too tight over the bunion.</p> <p>I am going to take a second pair of less lovely but more comfortable shoes for the dancing.</p> <p>I know from experience that the first glass of champagne will erase the rest of my discomfort, but before then I have to lead the procession.</p> <p>DH is going to officiate and will wear his tux. I am sticking with my green dress. Right now we are to lead the procession down the aisle. The bride's mother is wearing a short dress--probably not as short as mine, and unless something amazing turns up I plan to wear it. When we reach the podium he will take his place and I will be seated in the front row. Next comes the parents.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yesterday I went to Nordstrom to look for some kind of body shaper. The &nbsp;Spanx representative was there. She said the reason Spanx always roll down or up on me is they are the wrong size. I don't believe, but after I explained that I wanted something to smooth the midsection she sold me a Spanx slip. I would prefer black, but they only had nude in my size, which she correctly guessed as an L.</p> <p>The wedding will be in the Zoo in the giraffe section. The bride loves giraffes. I found this dress online and sent a photo to my D-i-l and she said I should wear it to the wedding. It is too casual, not nice enough ($55 on Last Call) and I would feel disrespectful. I do think it would be fun to wear to the rehearsal.</p> <p>#1 &amp; 2 Giraffe dress with and without Spanx, 1st with Paul Green shoes I will wear and second with beloved SWs. I can barely tell the difference.</p> <p> Do you think it would be too hokey to wear the dress to the rehearsal. The bride is a bundle of energy and good times and a lot of fun. She's great.</p> <p>Should I shorten it to a more flattering legnth?</p> <p>#3 &amp; 4 Kay Unger dress without Spanx slip</p> <p>#5 &amp; 6 is with. Spanx. The slip isn't uncomfortable and doesn't ride up so far.</p> <p>Should I wear black or darker pantyhose?</p> <p>Still working on jewelry etc.</p> <p>Notice no side views. Spanx does make the belly a bit less, um, prominent.&nbsp;</p>
