Gorgeous dress and you! I probably am blinded by the beautiful dress .... Because I don't see any waist issues here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254965 Sun, 18 May 2014 17:46:43 +0000 Anonymous 1254965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! The colors and pattern of the dress make you look so radiant and the accessories add just the right touch without competing with the bold print. And I don't <i>remotely</i> see a large waist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254860 Sun, 18 May 2014 14:41:07 +0000 carambola 1254860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!

And thanks for being supportive. I know my perfectionism can put a damper on a good outfit sometimes, so I'll continue to work through it. Again, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254818 Sun, 18 May 2014 13:44:48 +0000 jackiec 1254818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look drop-dead gorgeous! Every detail is perfect - so cute that the give away glasses work as well! Hey, I totally get it on the self esteem issues so big hugs on that. BUT you look amazing and not for a minute did my eye zero in on your waist! All I can see is total fabness. My mantra these days is "just be perfectly imperfect...." (So much good info pulled from Torontogirl's self doubt thread last week). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254814 Sun, 18 May 2014 13:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 1254814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, MsKatieKat! &nbsp;The dress is so elegant, and I love the dangly earrings with it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254808 Sun, 18 May 2014 13:39:26 +0000 neonginger 1254808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress!

So lovely!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254714 Sun, 18 May 2014 11:16:11 +0000 missvee 1254714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is beautiful on you. I'm sorry you felt a little self conscious, but you looked wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254681 Sun, 18 May 2014 07:32:05 +0000 MsLuna 1254681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>With regards to my waistline - normally I wear the dress as is without any shapewear and it's usually ok. I could be feeling extra self conscious due to bloatedness or because the shapewear underneath was suffocating. I've always been very self conscious of my (lack of) waist, so I guess that's what's running in my head as I had this photo taken. I also hate this because I shouldn't care now that I'm in my mid-30's but with this particular group of friends, I felt self-conscious about being physically larger than most of the women there. So I guess they're just triggers - I did stick out a lot, but I feel it was in a positive way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254680 Sun, 18 May 2014 07:26:36 +0000 fuzzylogic 1254680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, MsKatieKat! That dress is to be admired and you wear it so well! Well executed and bravo!!!<br /> It is difficult to feel comfortable if you think you stand out (in any way!). If you can feel comfortable in your skin and have fun then YOU are the winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254669 Sun, 18 May 2014 06:37:53 +0000 Dee 1254669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab dress! Beautiful print and it fits you really well (and does not make your waist look big). You look lovely, and I love the "fashion blogger" photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254665 Sun, 18 May 2014 06:27:51 +0000 lyn* 1254665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is so pretty on you! I don't know what disappointment you are talking about - I see that dress fitting you so nicely, with an elegant drape. Also; sunnies are a fabulous colour ... and even your toes match! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wedding#post-1254661 Sun, 18 May 2014 06:08:37 +0000 MsLuna 1254661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be taking a bit of a YLF break for a while as I need to recharge on Sunday and spend the rest of the long weekend (Monday) working on my project and paper for my part time studies. Juggling full time work and part time school can be so challenging sometimes!</p> <p>I attended a wedding today and really prided myself over this outfit. You may recognize this dress in a previous WIW as my no-fail dress:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-fail-dress-new-camper-booties" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....er-booties</a></p> <p>And LOOK!!!! The photo was taken in the weddings "photo booth" backdrop... And my boyfriend took it! I feel like a typical fashion blogger now. (Heh). </p> <p>So why I like this outfit a lot: I found that it's very well executed. The hair, makeup, shoes and accessories worked out exactly how I envisioned it. I felt good in it, for the most part. I wanted to achieve a slightly 1960's Mad Men Meets Mod vibe, but modernizing the look to bring it to this time. I've always wanted an excuse to wear the dress on its own so I did just that. The new Aravons surprisingly worked with this and I was so happy that my feet never even ached once! There were also so many colours in this dress so I went with magenta nails, turquoise clutch, and a cobalt jacket to keep me warm outside. I chose pewter and silver metallics for the jewelry and wore statement earrings and ring instead of my usual statement necklace. The glasses were not part of the accessories I selected: it's a giveaway in the wedding and I selected magenta to match my outfit. I felt good, I felt like myself, and that's what matters.</p> <p>My only disappointment is this: I wish my waist isn't so big I had just finished eating a lot here so my wide waist looks a lot wider than it already is. Many of the women there are tiny women with defined waistlines, and I seriously felt like the largest woman in the room. I know - I have severe self-esteem issues with regards to my physical appearance, and I'm still working through them. Despite this though, I did not let my size and body type ruin how happy I was over my well-executed look. </p> <p>Dress: Cynthia Rowley<br /> Shoes: Aravon </p>
