More Keep or Toss Dresses

Rosie

After ridding myself of two dresses today, I wanted to run these past you smart ladies. Please ignore the bad hair and unfortunate poses.

Kinda old Banana Dress:

Yikes Rosie, It looks like you pulled a Rute! Your links prompted me to enter a password and I had a dialog box fight for a while before having to force quit Firefox. Care to post?

The black one (Vera Wang) looks great. I vote toss the other one

I think they are both actually pretty cute on you. Definitely flattering. I guess the real question is why you are considering tossing them?

I really like the VW dress. I think it's very flattering and the length looks perfect.

The Banana dress fits well but I'm not crazy about the print. Perhaps it just needs a cardi or jacket to break up the print. I'll defer to others on that one. I think the VW is definitely a keeper!

Oh good. These are some easy throw-on dresses.

Maya, I'm just trying to weed out. The BR one is a little old, and ok, makes me think of an ex, but I've always liked wearing it. I actually was not considering the VW one at all before this, just thought I'd throw it on and see what people thought. I do like how it looks and it's really, really comfortable.

Kellygirl - thanks! I usually do wear it with a cardigan or something.

Hm, I'd toss the BR one. I just hate it when clothes have all kinds of weird psychological associations with them. I like the VW one a lot, and it seems like you do to, so I hope you keep that one. It looks more youthful than the BR one too.

Done!

I agree. It's annoying - and that dress is one of the only things that makes me think of the guy now, so it's not worth keeping!

Please keep Vera, she hasn't done anything wrong, she loves you, she wants to be your friend! If I was you, I'd definately drop BR, gently whispering something along the following lines.... "It's not you, it's me - I'm sorry, but I just want to go out and try new things and find myself - Please know that I'll always remember you....".

(OK, I'm being silly now. Sorry. It has been a long morning dealing with cranky parents (and their children), it makes me go ga-ga sometimes....)

Katie you are too cute!! BR has been dumped!

Vera definitely isn't going anywhere! I have another dress from this line of hers that I love.

Another vote for Vera's dress! Looks fabulous. I just love that length of sleeve on you.

Are your eyes blue or green, Rosie?

Angie, you are right that this sleeve length is so much better on me. Thinking about my dresses that really work for me, they are either sleeveless or at least this length.

Good question about my eyes. They have always changed between blue and green, but as I've gotten older they have become greener rather than bluer as they were when I was younger.

I vote for keeping Vera on too! Would love to see that dress with some red or bright/hot pink shoes...

BR = Nay

VW = Yay

The BR has a busy pattern and less flattering cut for your body. You deserve better, girl! Move on.
