what language do you speak?

Huron.

I know English well enough, but won't lower myself to speak it.

I'm going to a black tie wedding at the end of June. I don't really want to wear a full ball gown dress because it's in the middle of Summer. Is this dress appropriate or do I need something dressier? I don't really know the rules of black tie weddings in the Summer. :-/

6/2/2013 6:36:33 PM

I think it's really pretty!! But wait for diva or LK to see it...they seem to know more about that kind of stuff than me.

[Edited on June 2, 2013 at 6:51 PM. Reason : Ok "seem" isn't true. They do know more]

6/2/2013 6:50:44 PM

Thanks, I'd probably wear something over the shoulders as well. Dress it up with some jewelry maybe?

6/3/2013 5:38:48 PM

Yeah. I tend to be simple with jewelry...like wear just a necklace or just earrings, etc. but I think you can do more if you have the right jewelry and it isn't over the top. What kind of shoes are you thinking about?


I should clarify that I'm here in this thread to learn. I can give my opinion but I usually text a picture to Erica anytime I buy something I'm going to be seen in at an important event. Which is rare. So. Yeah. Lol

Ladies - wtf is up with a bachelorette party being such a freaken event! A whole weekend away costing everyone hundreds of dollars? What happened to just going out for dinner and to a bar/club to celebrate?

6/4/2013 11:27:50 AM

Ladies, a quick question.

What are the acceptable ways for a man to control his long hair?

6/4/2013 11:31:58 AM

Cut it

6/4/2013 11:43:13 AM

Cut it


Meg, mine was a beach weekend but my MoH paid for the house rentals, but even if she didn't we only would have paid about 20 bucks a person plus food and drinks. Our friends family owned the houses. The weekend was way cheaper than the original plan of party bus and bars downtown. I read somewhere that the average cost of being a bridesmaid is around 1500 dollars now. That fucking sucks.

it's so ridiculous to me how a wedding will turn the most level headed people crazy

[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 12:13 PM. Reason : ]

Our wedding cost about 7500 dollars including the rehearsal dinner. Open bar and everything. Our marriage is just as legal as the average Raleigh couples wedding which cost about 30k.

6/4/2013 12:41:37 PM

Yeah I don't think I'll have a big wedding. I've always said I'd rather use that money on a down payment for a first home or a big month long trip or something.

6/4/2013 12:42:30 PM

I'm almost turned off to having one at all. But not completely. Yet.

6/4/2013 12:43:58 PM

i want to get married at some point...

i do not, however, want a wedding...



if i do have a wedding i'm going to disguise it as an engagement party/cookout where we actually get married

6/4/2013 12:49:46 PM

I'm a fan of skipping the wedding and using the money on a house. Did just that and this house will be amazing when we are finished. You can't really get a renovation loan on a short sale, so this is the only way we could have afforded to buy and fix it.

6/4/2013 1:20:59 PM

I have a feeling I won't ever get married, which is probably good, because I like a lot of expensive stuff.

Also, bmel I'm not a fan of that dress...at all. But you can totes wear a cocktail dress to black tie...just make sure it's really dressy/fancy!

6/4/2013 2:09:21 PM

yea, er that blue/green dress has a pretty lace top but the bottom looks like a curtain in an elderly cat-woman's assisted-living condo

6/4/2013 2:13:34 PM

Also, Meg really does text me when she's shopping...I kinda love it

I think it just depends on who is hosting, age of attendees, where the actual wedding is and what kind of person the bride is/what she wants. I see the benefits of both scenarios.

I'm 30. Let's get the hell out of town and party like an adult.

6/4/2013 2:20:40 PM

^glad you're in here...


i doubt i have a dress suitable for Kelly's wedding...being evening and all

what do you suggest?

6/4/2013 2:24:02 PM

I think a cocktail dress you'd be a ok an LBD would be perfect and easy.

we're wearing tea length strapless navy dresses in taffeta.

6/4/2013 2:29:55 PM

well when the person hosting is poor and expected to spend $400+ for herself (which she can't afford) and $400+ (which she definitely can't afford) for the bride over the course of the weekend..... W T F


i mean, i have friends who took all their friends to vegas for a weekend (bride's and groom's) and had a huge party with expensive liquor, strip clubs, shows, fancy dinners, etc. but they could afford that so more power to them.



[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 2:34 PM. Reason : ]

6/4/2013 2:32:12 PM

this is the only LBD I own...




I don't think jewelry and shoes can dress it up enough....

suppose I'll have to buy something new

6/4/2013 2:33:21 PM

hahah oh shucks! new dresses

6/4/2013 2:39:49 PM

i suppose i may have to enlist DivaBaby19 for this...

for once in my life I want to be dressed appropriately for something

6/4/2013 3:20:15 PM

When is the wedding? I wanna go shopping haha

6/4/2013 3:22:20 PM

That's a cute dress. Does it come in a darker black?

end of August

6/4/2013 3:23:15 PM

Yes! I'll go shopping with you (if you want)

6/4/2013 3:27:39 PM

just fair warning....you have to shop on a budget for me...

not a terrible budget...but the sky isn't the limit

[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 3:37 PM. Reason : sdf]

6/4/2013 3:34:06 PM

The shoes arrived, and they are perfect.

Plus, I bought a bunch of grey tees from Wal-Mart yesterday so I'm done shopping until Fall.

Feels good.

6/4/2013 3:41:52 PM

Hey I shop on a budget! I might like expensive things, but I never pay retail for them

6/4/2013 3:43:14 PM

so far this is the only thing i've found that may remotely work....it comes in a few colors so i can choose something other than black if i want....























[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 4:03 PM. Reason : it's a "bridesmaid" dress from target...so i don't really consider it a bridesmaid dress ]

6/4/2013 3:51:58 PM

Cute! Would totally work

6/4/2013 3:58:30 PM

i didn't even know target did that

6/4/2013 4:04:52 PM

honestly I would stick with those darker colors...the lighter ones look cheap

the black, teal, purple all look like they may not have come from Target

6/4/2013 4:05:50 PM

My friend ordered a couple styles of their bridesmaid dresses for me to try for her wedding last fall. They looked pretty cheap in person so she sent them back.

6/4/2013 4:06:52 PM

well that's disappointing.

why don't you go to what'sthatplace on oberlin?

6/4/2013 4:17:41 PM

Vestique?


I can't really pull off the chevron patterned chiffon shift dress....haha



Target stuff doesn't usually work for me so I wasn't heart set on that dress but it fits my style and probably body type

6/4/2013 4:21:25 PM

Bwahahahahahaha awesome
Part of me always wondered "is everything from there chevron?" so glad you said it

6/4/2013 4:22:28 PM

^^Not to be weird, but I think you got a great bod that would look awesome in a lot of things.

You should try a bunch of stuff on in person and reflect on how amazing you look.

6/4/2013 4:25:25 PM

I appreciate that but you need to realize that I only post pictures of the things that fit me REALLY well....and they are very hard to come

[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 4:33 PM. Reason : oooo....i just remembered a dress i have that could work. i'll post when i get home if it's a go]

6/4/2013 4:28:35 PM

I hope this dress at home is so ugly.

I wanna go shopping

Also I have a decent relationship (or am working on it) with about 10 different boutiques thanks to the fashion shows I'm planning...so we can always hit them up

[Edited on June 4, 2013 at 5:16 PM. Reason : e]

6/4/2013 5:15:25 PM

I'm too full of chicken wings to try it on now....


I'll do it in the morning

6/4/2013 7:29:24 PM

couldn't get a decent picture but the dress at home would be ok...

and since i'm not going for ok...then new dress it is!

6/5/2013 8:15:33 AM

sweet! can i join this dress shopping party??
