So, I’m getting ready to go to a friend’s wedding in Philadelphia in May and after a review of all of the dresses in my closet, I realized that I was going to have to buy something new because nothing I currently have fits my ‘still need to lose a few baby pounds’ body.
Yesterday I was out and about and I went past a Dress Barn. Now, I haven’t shopped there in ages, but I figured they’d have a whole bunch of stuff to chose from. So I went in.
I really wanted something colorful and springy and fun, but after trying on a whole slew of dresses, I ended up selecting a simple black sheath dress. Not what I was looking for, but it looks like a million bucks and it only cost me $24.
So now I’m on the hunt for fabulous accessories to make this dress more fun:
First up, shoes. After a brief online search, these are my favorites:
Seychelles Stella Wedge Pump at DSW
$59.95
Apt. 9 Peep-Toe High Heels at Kohls
Regularly $49.99 on sale for $28.99
Bandolino Pliskin Slingback Peep-Toe Pump at Herberger’s
Regularly $69.99 on sale for $59.99
Opinions anyone?
I like the top two. The silver seems like a classier, more elegant look, and the other is more for fun. My guess is the silver ones are easier to walk in. :)
love the bandolino, very dressy. Kohl’s you can dress up or down.You can also decide by price.
Love the dress elise! You are going to look great! Apur and I are for the bandolino.
My opinion? The only one I can begin to imagine walking in is the wedge pump! I also can’t imagine what it would do to my back to wear those heals and carry a baby. OUCH!
PS. I really like the dress!
I think Alethea would most like to scoot around the house in the third ones! Otherwise, I had the same thoughts as Genna from a fashion standpoint and Debbie from a functional standpoint. I think the top ones would be more readily transfered to wearing with pants as well.
my vote would be for peep toes (either one), new nail polish, and an awesome necklace. However, you will be beautiful regardless of what you choose!
