DRRRESSES: WANT

(this is actually quite true - xpost to laurel - even one of my close friends, who is pretty observant and fashiony was really surprised when i mentioned once how i was feeling lacklustre b/c my skin was crappy that day - she said she thought my skin always looked good! it certainly does not! but i do usually wear at least some sheer foundation or cover-up tho. on the other hand, i'm sure that there are some people who totally notice - and of course their opinion counts the most right? LOL. ugh. silly.)

i prefer dark grey to light grey

Next time I get my hair done it will be a magentaish red, which will really screw me - I've got a red hoodie that compliments this shade of red perfectly, and will probably be unwearable when I have pink tones. Sigh. Dressing really was a lot easier when I had blonde hair, but I'm only young once!

I am confused about the possible Saleisha.. she looks a LOT like her but I haven't seen those pics before, and the Livejournal ANTM community is very thorough about posting any that are found..

probably her. hard to tell w/out the tootie cut. if it is her, she lookin haggard.

these were on an invite only site for a specific collection. maybe theyre not anywhere else?

I think I am the only person in the world that thinks red & pink look fucking AWESOME together (except if it is a pale pink).

Do you dye yr own hairs, ffm?

Sorry to derail DRESS LUVV.

i like it!
xpost

that 1st dress is so pretty sunny, the blue n black

isnt it??

It is BADASS but I feel wicked self-conscious in sequins.

I love the one at the top, the red one, the best.

oh man i LOVE wearing sequins.

no my mouthy hairdresser (see umm Manbag drama thread) does! She uses some awesome stuff called... uh, Elumen which I would use if I could buy & use on my own hair but I think you have to be licensed(?) to buy/use it. It's organic and crazy long lasting!

I actually do link pink and red but being tall, heavyset and awkward, the last thing I want to do is attempt to pull off daring coordinations. :D

As long as this thread is for completely unobtainable items:

OH HELLO PHILLIP LIM DRESS THAT IS DELECTABLE AND ALSO $650.

http://www.lagarconne.com/data/item/2306/zoom/fan%20dress%20front%20kate%20w.jpg

oooooooooooooh!

oh goodness, that's perfection

It looks a bit drapey and unexcited on that model but I think it needs a) some curves, and b) a really matte red lipstick.

so now all we need is ...$650

yeah curves + lipstick OTM

god, laurel, you would rock the hell out of that dress

Haha actually it would never fit me but I'd love to try.

OH AND MAYBE A HAT WITH A VEIL, IT NEEDS THAT TOO.

So anyway. Next?

Next

Does that wool jumper show up? I'm not sure if it's just in my cache....

hey yah thats super cute where is it from?

hey yah thats super cute where is it from?

Oooh a hat with a veil.. can we add long satin gloves and a cigarette holder?

It does show up for me. I could ROCK the hell out of that outfit!

Here

$339! grrrr

Step off FFM, you are not 'heavyset,' if you meant that euphemistically.

hey, I'm almost 200 pounds!

l, don't know if you noticed, but you can get half that dress (aka a blouse) for just $375...

I have a killer beer belly :P

you are also 6'1"!!!!
xp

i think you could totally pull off daring!!

bell, perhaps <a href=http://cache.net-a-porter.com/images/products/35161/35161_in_l.jpg>;this dress<a/> could solve your jumper quest, for a mere $1,795!

ah crap semicolon!

thanks tza, Abbott :) I used to be 150ish though about three years ago so I am feeling very ...different.

Oh god that $1700 jumper is divine. Why weren't we born filthy rich?

I loooooooove that zipper dress. Predictably enough. I bet you could make something very much like it for about $50. Not a luxury brand, obv, but who's going to know that you or I hang out with??

seriously! it's only michael kors anyway, i don't understand why it's $1800

laurel,
please make me one too. kthxs

<3 these colors

Arrrrgh I need to move so I can sew without rearranging my whole room temporarily.

Tza, those colors are very you! I think they look good together, too. And that's kind of a nice dress.

Hmmmm.

$325 :(

also where would i wear it?

also does that hem look sewn weird?

I can't tell from that photo but satin is REALLY hard to hide anything on because of the sheen. Hem stitches almost always show a TINY bit, even a $325 dress isn't hand-made.

i need a job so i can buy clothes

honestly, i'm (ridiculously, and i know it) depressed about my wardrobe (or the lack of it). i threw out most of my clothes before moving here, came with just a suitcase. not that i had much wearable stuff anyway. but i still haven't got work, so gotta be careful with our moneys till then, so no shopping for me :( :( :(

this isn't really anything to do with dresses, i just needed to vent and i thought you ladies would understand my anguish.

milwaukee is super cool! as is the dress. LL otm re: shoes.

I've visited Milwaukee and loved it. It has a flying art museum (sort of - it has flapping wings), a great market, nice buildings...

I've been to Milwaukee one other time also for a wedding.

I was just in Delaware last week.

I bought the dress btw.
