OHMYGOSH! Every single photo is SO fabulous! That dress is AMAZING; you will look so beautiful!

Every choice is incredible! I wish I had more occasions to dress up for lately; you look wonderful!

Tracina, LBelleD, Adelfa, and LoveSarahDub -- Thank you!

I have to keep myself on a tight leash to keep from buying "fantasy life" clothes, so as much as I went "ack, nothing to wear!" and then did my Goldilocks thing, it's great to have an excuse to buy something impractical.

Maybe if I had more special occasions I'd buy more versatile items, I don't know.

By the way (attn LSDub?) while looking I got seriously fascinated by RenttheRunway.com -- even if it meant realizing I'm more of a prude than I thought about dress length, ha!

Seems like customers are super-happy with the experience, and I loved seeing the same fancypants dress on different women's shapes/heights etc. [Sound familiar?] I'm just too much of a control freak to use them for a huge occasion, but for something like NYE it could be fun.

ps Beth Ann, so interesting, especially the part about noticing how your students' posture strengths/weaknesses have changed pre- to post-computer society.

Well I know what I'll be checking out today! Thank you!

Vix you are STUNNING! Pic #1, just breathtaking! You look like a runway model! I love the vintage clutch from Whiting & Davis (I have a couple in my stash)

Words can't express how fabulous you and the bride look! Vic, I'm sure all eyes were on you.

Ah! You're killing me -- too too gorgeous. Old Hollywood is green with envy standing next to a star like you. My goodness everything looks so yummy. I hope you enjoy the festivities and post some pictures of the event.

Hi DayVies -- I think Joy's sweet words were meant for my update (wedding) thread. Many thanks for your compliments!

ETA too add link with some "color story" snaps: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ly-wedding and thank Joy more properly. Though eyes were glued pretty firmly to the bride (and there were lots of lovely, festive outfits I wish I'd been able to photograph) I did get lots of compliments on my Sparkle Barbie dress. It's just a fun dress to wear and I think that translated well!
