Why didn't I notice the skirt drawstring before? Plus, it is always impressive to be able to tell others that you handmake the green sweater.</p> <p>As to the diet book? Maybe if a Weight Watchers group was throwing a shower for a longtime member? But seriously, I wonder if she was regifting, esp. since she was invited but really doesn't know you, one of those passive aggressive protests. Or she figured every woman diets to squeeze into a wedding cheongsam? Strange, but it makes for a good story.</p> <p>Glad you survived! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874710 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:59:29 +0000 Isabel 874710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yayyyyyy.....it's over ! Hahaa.. your hubby to be scored major points.</p> <p>That skirt is sooooo cool, let me get that out of the way first. You look wonderful ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874676 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:21:05 +0000 catgirl 874676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look perfect - this was my top choice outfit. </p> <p>The Vitamix is truly the gift that keeps on giving. A group of us just pitched in and bought one for a friend with a neuro problem that affects her swallowing, and she is so happy that she can drink her calories in a delicious way. </p> <p>No words on the diet book. *eyes rolling out of head* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874674 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:18:41 +0000 jayne 874674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no, I do not beieive there is ever an occasion where a diet book is appropriate! But YOU looked wonderful and 100% yourself! That had to help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874607 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:00:51 +0000 Diana 874607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone! I felt really good in this outfit and I got lots of compliments on it at the party. =)</p> <p>I'm glad that people seem to like the Vitamix! I am very excited. =) And haha, yes, I bet it would blend diet books!</p> <p>Question: is there EVER an occasion at which it is appropriate to give someone a diet book as a gift? (Unless they asked for it specifically I guess...). But yes, I will never forget that gift! (By the way, I barely know the lady who gave it to me... I think I have met her once and had to have J identify her for me... he says she is kind of nuts though.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874554 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:57:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 874554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - this was the outfit I had voted for. It's so pretty on you Diana and very "you". Love the addition of the necklace and what a lovely gesture.</p> <p>Glad you survived the hoopla and kudos to J for being by your side </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874544 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:51:26 +0000 RoseandJoan 874544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray for surviving and looking so beautiful whilst under duress.</p> <p>A diet book? Can you blend it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874540 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:48:42 +0000 Day Vies 874540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely lovely. I love the green sweater with the light gray skirt. The texture and pattern are such a nice contrast to the green. The proportions are spot on ... gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874515 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:33:53 +0000 Tina.b 874515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just a perfect wedding shower outfit. Feels very much like spring. I love that you wore the handknit, and it pairs beautifully with the skirt. Gorgeous. LOL aboutthe diet book, some people...ugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874494 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:13:48 +0000 Angie 874494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful! </p> <p>And the necklace works *perfectly* with this outfit. </p> <p>Glad you made it through your shower and good job J for being so supportive. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874396 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:41:52 +0000 Anonymous 874396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you look radiant despite the pressures of your day. This is such a great outfit to showcase the special necklace, and I think you wore it with the right attitude, on your terms. Love the skirt with the drawstring. I'm sure everyone is *still* talking about your fab style.</p> <p>As for the Vitamix, they are supposed to be the very best. Hello frozen fruit smoothies in the summertime! They can crush ice like nobody's business and I've even heard that they can chop up diet books. Just kidding (not really). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874376 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:22:32 +0000 Kalli 874376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! The outfit you chose in the end is very fitting! My sister loves her vitamix but seriously a diet book- really poor taste here!</p> <p>Maybe it's my old fashioned tastes but I actually like ethnic jewelry and besides asian influence jewelry is supposed to be super hot for spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874317 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:32:38 +0000 Suz 874317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, you are a great sport. A diet book for a wedding shower? Seriously?? But I guess the Vitamix sort of makes up for that. WOW. i inherited one of those (an old one) from my brother, who had it but never used it. I love it!! </p> <p>You looked lovely, and what a nice gesture to wear the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874310 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:26:37 +0000 lyn67 874310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved your outfit,and story of the necklace-+ congrats for surviving the shower:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874303 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:13:10 +0000 Karie 874303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these colors on you! I'm sure you made the event extra special for J's mom by wearing the necklace, and it adds an extra arty and eclectic touch to your outfit. </p> <p>I have been wanting a Vitamix blender, you'll have to let me know how you like it once you start using it.</p> <p>You survived, diet book gift and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874278 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:45:32 +0000 Thistle 874278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad you survived! You look terrific. And it was very sweet of you to wear the necklace, and the necklace is lovely. I always liked lotus flowers but never knew the symbolism. Big kudos to J for understanding and staying with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874241 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:11:38 +0000 Anonymous 874241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I am glad it wasn't too horrible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874236 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:36:07 +0000 TraceyLiz65 874236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice for your outfit and so gracious of you to wear the necklace, which is beautiful. As a mother of 3 sons, I can say if that happens, it's turned out really well for me! Big kudos for J for staying to be your protector and to the lovely friends who took you out to decompress afterwards... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874222 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:19:09 +0000 Kristin SF 874222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really look beautiful, I love these colors on you, esp that green! And I love the outfit that you ended up with, great picks!</p> <p>How nice that your fiance stayed at the party, love that!</p> <p>The Vitamix is a revelation. I remember looking at my husband like he was crazy when he brought it home, but it truly is worth every penny. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874220 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:42:29 +0000 Ornella 874220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice of the outfit Diana, you look your usual beautiful and lovely self. Your style is so fun and creative, I so like what I can "read" about you from it. I'm glad it all went well, that's one thing less to think about. And c'mon, diet book is a great gift, how else would you have a quick anecdote from the bridal shower story to tell?</p> <p>How thoughtful of J. to understand you needed him with you, he sounds like a keeper... but wait, you already know that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874214 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:06:53 +0000 Katiepea 874214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely! I particularly like the fact that the necklace has special significance. I think this makes your entire outfit extra special.</p> <p>(As an aside, I have always adored lotus flowers - I'm now wondering if this is why I ended up with three sons?! ;-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874199 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:45:40 +0000 ramya 874199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on surviving it Diana :)</p> <p>And you looked beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874190 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:29:25 +0000 Deborah 874190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful! Great outfit and the necklace looks great. You are very sweet to wear it. The blender sounds like a fantastic and thoughtful gift. The diet book... hmmm, hate to say it but I can't help wonder if was being regifted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874184 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:10:54 +0000 AJ 874184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you look beautiful! Kudos to J for staying to protect you! You're very sweet to wear the necklace. </p> <p>I didn't know that skirt had the drawstring hem feature...so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874147 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:21:51 +0000 Beth Ann 874147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you displayed great grace under pressure, and you looked great! I love the necklace, and your willingness to wear it in part to please family.</p> <p>Your arty/eclectic is shining through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874146 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:20:45 +0000 CocoLion 874146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A Diet Book for a wedding shower? People's lack of social skills amaze me. Your outfit is lovely, perfectly styled and if you have a son your aunties can tell you, see, the jade necklace works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bridal-shower-edition#post-874139 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:05:33 +0000 Diana 874139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I survived the dreaded bridal shower yesterday, and it was not too bad,although I was very glad to go out for drinks and tapas with friends afterwards to unwind. Also very glad to have a very quiet day at home the day after (let's just say that some of the ladies there were... a bit loud, to say the least). Oh, yes, and J. was nice enough to stay to protect me from the "aunties" the whole time, so he gets big points for that!</p> <p>Anyway, here is what I wore. I ended up choosing this combo over my other favorite (floral/dot tulip skirt + grey "frilled lizard" top+blazer) because of the necklace. It only works with a plain neckline like this handknit top and collarless blazer. Anyway, the necklace belongs to J's mom, and she wore it at her engagement party &gt;30 years ago. It is apparently a lotus flower (I think), which is a chinese homonym for "having a lot of sons" or something to that effect. Now, I'm not at all sure how I feel about that particular sentiment, but on the other hand I also don't believe in this kind of stuff, so I figure it's all in good fun and makes her happy. Plus it is a very nice necklace. </p> <p>PS - best shower gift: Vitamix blender, woohoo! (this was on our wedding registry, it was given by a very nice lady and her family who can't make it to the wedding so it's really more like a wedding gift; still, very extravagant and very nice!)<br /> Worst shower gift: diet book. Seriously. </p> <p>Aqua blazer, handknit top, Komarov skirt, AT tights, Everybody Galla booties, Maxx New York handbag, borrowed heirloom necklace. </p>
