Fashionista wedding pics on profile

50 replies

Mamafratelli · 08/09/2013 17:57

Hi one of my best friends is getting married and is very into fashion. The wedding is going to be full of trendy young types. Can you look at the pic on my profile and let me know if it looks ok. I was thinking navy shoes, large statement necklace and clutch. I think I look wide dh says no. Any other suggestions gratefully received I have tried on around 30 dresses this weekend and am losing the plot!

Blush It might have been viewable all along! You look lovely- super dress.
LaVitaBellissima · 08/09/2013 18:18

I think you look fab!

Mamafratelli · 08/09/2013 18:19

Please tell me that has worked!

Rather than navy shoes I would get Cobalt blue it is the colour of the season!

Do you have a necklace in mind, I know one that would look fab with it!

LaVitaBellissima · 08/09/2013 18:20

How do you feel in the dress, that's the main thing!

Mamafratelli · 08/09/2013 18:21

Cobalt would be fab please link to necklace and thanks for the lovely comments.

You have a lovely hour glass figure. In my opinion it looks like you are trying to cover yourself up as much as possible.

The dress would be lovely for going out for lunch with friends or a parent teacher meeting.

You have a figure that demands something glamorous, don't hide it in that ordinary dress.

GlaikitFizzog · 08/09/2013 18:23

Ooh and a hat! In cobalt blue would look fab! I'll be back

DuchessFanny · 08/09/2013 18:24

Great dress, you look lovely !
I agree a statement necklace and clutch but not navy shoes, cobalt would be gorgeous !

KosherBacon · 08/09/2013 18:24

Wow SundaySimmons- you must lead a very glamorous life if you would wear OPs dress to a PTA meeting!

I think OP looks great and just needs a pair of killer cobalt heels.

Mamafratelli · 08/09/2013 18:24

I feel good in the dress, I know I'll feel ok all day and night. I just got a bit dress blind I tried so many on.

If I get cobalt shoes would you get a cobalt clutch too? Sorry I'm not usually so useless!

Gorgeous. Really classy.

AntPants1 · 08/09/2013 18:32

I think you look wonderful. Yes to statement necklace and clutch. I generally wear gold so I'd go with gold accesories. Top shop, j crew all have great statement jewellery.

Have a wonderful time.

Oh and you have a wonderful figure. Gorgeous.

GlaikitFizzog · 08/09/2013 18:34

are these cobalt?

bag?

Brb with a hat

SundaySimmons · 08/09/2013 18:36

Sorry if I have hurt your feelings. :(

Your OP said a fashionista friend's wedding and I replied saying the dress whilst perfectly nice, is in my opinion not glamorous enough. I also think the OP has a lovely figure and the dress is camouflaging it not enhancing or complimenting it.

Apologies, but I honestly think you can look even better. X

dexter73 · 08/09/2013 18:39

What a lovely dress. Where is it from?

GlaikitFizzog · 08/09/2013 18:39

Ok so my links have failed epically, but go to the dune website and filter by blue. There are suede courts and a bag which may match but difficult to tell.

Mamafratelli · 08/09/2013 18:39

My feelings aren't hurt at all I'd welcome links to any better dresses.

I know I said gold. But some great silver options

I agree with Sunday you have a cracking figure and it's a little safe. Lovely and flattering, but quite traditional.

Will have a hunt for some dresses and be back
