what's wrong with tights? (tights meaning something like what Joie posted except in gray or black instead of white)

here's the dress:

I think I might have to try them on the see... The pictures next to each other look iffy

i think that dress is way to spring-y for a christmas party

go with the other outfit

12/11/2009 4:35:39 PM

that looks too summery

I'd go with

"nice black slacks with a cream colored cashmere sweater"

and add a red or green shoes/scarf

12/11/2009 4:36:39 PM

Yeah good point.

The cashmere sweater is very holiday-ish I just wanted to wear a dress and wanted an excuse to wear this dress again

I like the red/green scarf or shoe idea

Yea don't wear that dress in December.

Nothing wrong with tights. I wear tights all the time. I was responding to Wolfy's question about what to wear to a wedding in JANUARY. Tights with a cute dress.

12/11/2009 4:37:06 PM

so divababy how can i have fun with a 6pm wedding? i don't want to buy anything new and i have 2 black cocktail dresses i could wear or i have a gorgeous silk dress but im afraid it might not be winter appropriate


hmm tights and a dress? not sure thats my fashion style, i'd feel weird

12/11/2009 4:37:52 PM

black can work with gold or silver cardigan....

i wore a black one shoulder cocktail dress with a gold sash and it looked very appropriate for a winter wedding

12/11/2009 4:38:58 PM

Oh I see


I spent a lot of money on that damn dress and only got to wear it like twice blah

12/11/2009 4:39:33 PM

Wear the black with some fun shoes/accessories!!!

You can add pashminas and whatnot to keep you warm. Accessories are the fun part when it's cold...I feel like I can always add one more lol

12/11/2009 4:39:39 PM

^^ save it for next season. I have a few dresses that i pull out in the summer/spring!

12/11/2009 4:40:34 PM

Don't mind the dress per se but the look I was meaning is this.

12/11/2009 4:44:44 PM

I like that style a lot

12/11/2009 4:46:09 PM

ok im going to post up my dress choices for this dec wedding. im posting everything that isn't an outright spring print

these dresses kind of look like shit on the hanger, they all look bunch better on. i prob have some old pics of me wearing some of the dresses

i have a pretty plain style so don't make fun

chunkier me in the dress




lol college formal throwback

12/11/2009 4:47:04 PM

I need a new dress for the bf's family christmas gathering

I want something a little more conservative (i.e. no strapless, knee-length or longer) and I'd also like to have it fitted at the top and really loose and flowing at the bottom. Something similar to this but less revealing up top:



suggestions?

12/11/2009 4:48:43 PM

How dressy?

And I really wish that a) I had $$$$$ and b) I was a little less fat...because I want that dress I posted as an example

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 4:51 PM. Reason : e]

12/11/2009 4:50:54 PM

^^ i don't pretend to know your style ( ), but something like this could be cute for the situation described (plus i am a HUGE fan of wrap dresses)



[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 4:53 PM. Reason : .]

12/11/2009 4:53:23 PM

his mom told me "dress to impress" so I can take it pretty dressy

and I'm game for trying crazy tights Erica

^I've never tried a wrap dress because I'm so tall, usually the place to tie it is too high and it looks funny

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 4:57 PM. Reason : .]

12/11/2009 4:54:04 PM

OH SWEET!!!! I think you can rock it And with tights you can go a tish above the knee and it still be conservative!!!

BUT I was looking at JC Penny because I have a gift card to North Hills and I want some shoes and look what I saw hahaha. The description made me laugh lololol



It's always the season for denim in this figure-flattering belted shirtdress.

* notch collar
* button-front closure
* braided, self-tie belt included


Since I'm still on the jc penny site...this would be cute with some tights! And you're tall so it's even hotter

oh yea, i can see that. i'm 5'9" and they usually work okay on me... didn't realize how tall you were

12/11/2009 4:58:13 PM

I'm 6' and my legs are pretty long, but my torso is really really long

if you remember the pic I posted of headshots of me and carson (it's still in my gallery but I don't want to post it and get in trouble haha), we're both sitting down, but I look about 3'' taller even though we're the same height

so yeah - that's why I wanted something with more of an empire cut

^^erica, if I wore that dress it would be like "HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WIDE ASS BIRTHING HIPS"

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 5:03 PM. Reason : ]

12/11/2009 5:02:10 PM

oh right.

that second one that diva posted above is really cute haha enough said

and Wolfy.

i like



and



i'm a sucker for dots

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 5:04 PM. Reason : .]

12/11/2009 5:02:56 PM

Would be fun!!!



Wolfy...I like the plain black one that Luna showed too. It would be the best for the time of the wedding.

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 5:06 PM. Reason : e]

12/11/2009 5:05:06 PM

i like that one too, the pink top with high waisted belt edit: ok guess not with the hip thing

can someone please advise if i can wear any of the dresses i posted above to a jan 6pm wedding? really trying to avoid buying new dress and all my wedding wear is for spring weddings

thanks lunak! are polka dots approps for a wedding? i love that dress haha

i have a really nice cream colored mid calf length dress with black dots but my boobs are too big for it... might fit now that i lost some weight though

i was kind of leaning toward the plain black one mostly bc i can wear a regular bra

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 5:08 PM. Reason : klsdjfkjdsf]

12/11/2009 5:05:52 PM

^i think pokadots can work for a wedding - unless it's like black tie formal.

begonias:





although you might say the same hips thing to the second one.....

[Edited on December 11, 2009 at 5:08 PM. Reason : .]

12/11/2009 5:07:45 PM

I think this is adorable


I'm trying to look for styles that are conservative but aren't matronly


Wolfy the dots look a little summery to me. Like I said before, I'd personally go with the plain black one with the buckle or broach or whatever detail that is lol.

12/11/2009 5:09:35 PM

I too like the black one, wolfy.

I think I'm going to go to j.crew and white house black market and try some stuff on

I'll let you know how it goes

12/11/2009 5:12:36 PM

I wanna goooooooooooooooo

12/11/2009 5:13:36 PM

mmmkay when are you free next week?

I was going to wait until after the swap just in case I could get something there

12/11/2009 5:15:22 PM

this may be a totally stupid question

are black sling back peep toes not ok to wear with that dress for the wedding? the next best thing i have is some sandal heel thing

god i suck at dressing myself lol

i vote for this one

You can wear slingback peep toes

OH...Linda I'm free most evenings! Just holler and we'll figure something out

12/11/2009 5:18:29 PM

i love the green dress too but honestly my boobs are out of hand in it and prob not good for a wedding in which i plan to drink heavily. its best for like, standing around and not moving much

its also been 4 years since ive worn it so maybe i'll put it on and see how it goes around the house. but i also dont have the right shoes for that dress, ideas?

12/11/2009 5:20:22 PM

^ i like the black one or the black one with polka dots


and can we have a thong discussion? i don't get thongs. i mean i do obviously. but are there people up in here that ONLY wear thongs? i have friends that do. i don't dislike them but i don't LOVE them either. i wear them when necessary. my hanky pankies are comfy but who wants to buy $$$ underwear? no one.

i just know people that wear them all the time and i dunno. given the choice i'd rather wear regular underwear (you know, if there weren't panty lines and what not)

12/11/2009 5:27:14 PM

I don't like wearing underwear at all

12/11/2009 5:32:05 PM

Thongs are yuck. I wear bloomers or some other full coverage undergarment. I also try not to buy pants that would show off pantylines either.

12/11/2009 5:37:52 PM

^^i didn't want to be the first to post that, lol

12/11/2009 5:38:12 PM

I wear lace thongs from VS like it's my job. I swear by them. They sit comfortably and look great. I can't remember the last time I wore regular underwear. I'll have to look up the thongs I wear but I love them.

12/11/2009 5:38:13 PM

** I'm happy for other people who

# like thongs
# like wearing thongs
# want children

I just don't want it for myself.

12/11/2009 5:40:19 PM

i feel incredibly uncomfortable the entire night if i wear a thong. i would wear them more often if i didn't feel like i had something up my butt every time

12/11/2009 5:53:48 PM

^ well that is what i'm saying

i feel like i have something up my butt

maybe if my butt was less rotund it wouldn't get all stuck up in there

12/11/2009 6:38:01 PM

I have the biggest butt in this thread and I'm ok with thongs if they're cotton or another natural material. I like the lack of panty lines and I think they make my butt look good I also buy em a size larger than I buy normal panties so they don't fit the same way.

Gstrings, on the other hand, I HATE, but Victoria Secret Pink line thongs are FTW.

I don't think I could go pantiless while wearing jeans, that seems like it would rub the wrong way

12/11/2009 6:43:36 PM

NCSUWolfy, a 6 pm wedding is plenty formal, so the following is my pick. the wrap is too casual, and imho the polkadot is too summery.

12/11/2009 6:58:56 PM

yea i don't dislike thongs (obviously i wear them) just given the choice (if panty lines weren't an issue etc) i would wear lacy boy shorts all day long

however that isn't an option. i was hoping i could learn to love thongs as mucha s the thong lovers

but i also agree underwearless is the best

12/11/2009 7:05:33 PM

Lace boy shorts shouldn't be too bad about panty lines, but I guess thongs are better.

My favorite is when people try to squeeze into thongs that are too small and have thong bulge lines.

12/11/2009 7:19:22 PM

lol i know

that is just as bad as regular panty lines. maybe even worse

12/11/2009 7:29:10 PM

It's most definitely worse. That's why it amuses me so much.

12/11/2009 7:31:42 PM

I go commando alot, but I think I've noticed that I get butt acne more, maybe from rough jeans?

12/12/2009 9:30:27 AM

alright ladies

i wanted my tights to come in today but it looks like it won't be until monday.

so i need some help....where cvan i find some like this:

I LOVE THESE!!!!! I wish I could afford J Crew bc I think thse would be flattering to my weird body.

Joie, I think I saw the doily tights in target, Anne Taylor Loft, Banana Republic or Charlotte Russe...I think. I can't remember. I have been to those places recently.

12/12/2009 10:15:33 AM

Target had an awesome selection of tights last time I went- and they were only about $6!
