So nice to see you and your pretty dresses again!! This one is lovely and red lipstick sounds perfect!

Beautiful

It's so nice to see you post again. And that dress is stunning on you.

Yay! So good to see you again, especially in a stunning dress. I'm sure you'll rock the dinner.

Gorgeous! Really like the light shoes with the dress. I agree with Una, any bold lip color that suits you would work nicely (red, orange, pink...) but so would a soft glossy shade.

Absolutely most lovely!
I would not go with a bold color, but a discreet yet effective lip gloss instead.

So nice to see a post from you! The dress is amazing on you; all eyes will be on you at the awards night!

Beautiful!

How pretty! That dress looks great on you. And I vote for the red lip as well. Have fun!

Lyn! So nice to have you back even if for short moments!
You look amazing in the dress and with your hair down.
I just read your other post (missed it before) - you are one determined young lady! I am proud of you and hope you can reach you goal soon.
I miss "The Boy" stories...

So nice to see you again!

I really LOVE this dress on you. The belt is awesome.

I think this would be great for your awards dinner, and I think a red lip would be suitable too. Good luck!

You have been missed, glad to see you are well and as lovely as ever.

Nice to see you, you1ve been missed! Love the frock, it's really special, and bold lips is a good idea! Congrats for the awards you'll get!:-)

Stunning! A red lip would look great!

UPDATE - Thanks so much for your kind guidance, ladies (as usual) - I picked up the one award that I was really hoping to get, so I am pretty happy with myself. My preceptor made a funny little speech about how I never wore pants - in fact, he's not even sure if I own pants ... I think it's funny how fashion and style choices touch us in ways we don't know!

The Boy and I broke up last year around this time. It was a surprise, but thank you for remembering, Sveta.

I have so many events this year, I definitely am planning on recycling this dress, so I'll go with a more neutral lip next time!

Congratulations ! Beautiful dress too!
