I'm wearing black to at least two wedding this month.
Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
They're nine, Aimée -- will that work for you?
I love the dress -- I was grateful for the slimmest of excuses to buy it. My wardrobe is very geometric, and lacking in pretty (although I like pretty -- it just never showed up). That dress is both geometric and pretty (you should see the silk move).
The shoes -- well, if I'm going to integrate delicate shoes into my wardrobe, I need baby steps.
I think I want this in vintage rose.

Yes'm. Specially in Caparros.
Nice, Betsy.
This [link] is what I'm wearing to my upcoming weddings. [ETA except without the freaky hair and facial expression.] Both are afternoonish ceremonies with dinner reception. I'm trying to figure out options for a wrap or coat of some sort - it's supposed to be about 50 this weekend, and god knows what it'll be like on the 29th. Ideas? Shoes for the first one at least will be strappy black sandals, a lot higher (and less delicate) than ita's.
ita you liar, you have loads of pretty dresses in your closet. Still, why not add one more?
I have only one pretty dress, okay two, but only one that fits me at my current boobage. And even so, I have way more dressy dresses than I have opportunity to wear them.
My problem is that I look at those pictures and love the dresses, but I can't see them on me. I completely lack that ability to transfer a dress from a reed thin model to what it might look like on my size 18 bumpy body.
Blarg.

I have going-out dresses that I'd describe as ... well, words that imply less delicacy than pretty. Hot, perhaps, or eye-catching (I don't shop by occasion, but rather because I passed something in a store window), but NSM with the pretty. The dress I wore to the LA F2F is probably the prettiest I had before this, or maybe the blue I wore to last year's weddings.
Let's just say -- this was the first time in 26 years I've needed delicate shoes.
Aimée, they're yours (as of about 11pm Saturday night, I suspect).
Damn, ita. Please take a picture when you're wearing that dress.
ION, the existence of Graeters pumpkin ice cream (back for the season) is proof enough of a benevolent deity. Sweet lord, is that stuff amazing.
ita, I love that dress! I hope we get pictures.
