any opinions?

I am a size 10 and pale. I am looking for an everyday summer dress- this would have 20% off.

is it okay?

I am veering towards the turquoise but worried it might be too bright- what about black?

Yes black is wearable

I dont like the turquoise, I think it looks cheap

I prefer the coral colour

Whats your hair colour?

cabbageroses · 12/03/2011 08:10

I am blonde- highlighted- and quite pale but do tan in summer.

thought it might look okay with a denim jacket or a cardi to make it more casual?

I think a splash of colour more interesting

I think the Navy is the nicest option in that dress and wearable for everyday. black is not not right for summer daytime, in my opinion.

You could be right ithaka- I just went through a hate phase with navy years back. I had loads of it and then I was colour- done and they said do not wear dark colours near my face! (Yes I know balck is dark too!)

Navy or coral, if you're pale the black wouldn't look good I don't think.

Great day time dress. Navy (I'm loving navy at the moment) or coral for me, too.

I would choose the turquoise. Don't like the others.

QueeferSutherland · 12/03/2011 09:41

OOh that's nice.

I agree the light turquoise looks cheap, but it may look better irl. I think the red looks a bit cheap too, but I have a hate thing with coral.

I would say navy too.
Or white if your complexion could take it.

Going against my aversion to navy then I might order and see what it's like in RL.
