I looove that dress, where did you find it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-792067 Fri, 17 May 2013 17:36:47 +0000 mrs. bird 792067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I'm gonna head over to DSW &amp; see what they have for Jessica Simpson shoes, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-792018 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:48:28 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 792018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I'm super fair too and I found a pair of nude shoes that work with my skin tone. They are by Jessica Simpson and the color is dove. I'm going to see if I can find a picture!</p> <p>ETA: I can only find the nude color online. Those are much darker than mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791991 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:29:06 +0000 MsLipGloss 791991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: When in doubt, go for structure! Or create it with a great belt! I like the idea of a close-fitting cardi with this dress (the smooth sweater will be a great mix of texture with the texture of the dress. I think either navy or charcoal would work, but I am leaning toward the charcoal (that, with your jewelry and nude shoes will really let the dress take center stage in your ensemble!). </p> <p>I would avoid a cropped jacket so that you don't cut your body in half with 2 horizontal lines, i.e., the bottom of the jacket and the waist seam of the dress (that will make you look shorter). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791978 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:22:48 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 791978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: i was thinking blazer in charcoal! i love that color with yellow or orange to contrast if you have any fun jewelry in those colors. i think nude shoes would look good, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791938 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:00:46 +0000 mrs. bird 791938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ooooook, i always look so awful if 'nude' hose that are that orangey nude color that just looks like someone else's tan, but totally weird on me. i think i've had in my head nude shoes looking like that on me =D do you think i could do a cropped blazer? would something with some structure would be more flattering or do you think a cardi would be better? what color, charcoal or navy maybe? haha, i'm hopeless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791815 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:58:02 +0000 MsLipGloss 791815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I think silver would look striking (with your coloring), but I am also a huge fan of mixed metallics as well. </p> <p>I am (naturally) very fair, too, and as long as the nude patent isn't too yellow/orange (more brown/pink), it should work really well with your skin tone . . . it doesn't have to be an exact match! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791741 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:29:10 +0000 mrs. bird 791741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: aww, you just made me feel all mushy! Thank you for your sweet comment, it meant a lot coming from you, pretty lady! </p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I've yet to venture into a nude shoe because I'm soooo fair, like translucent! :D so they'd never be a similar color to me, would it be weird to wear a 'nude' shoe that's someone else's skin tone? Do you think silver or gold for the necklace? </p> <p>@MrsKoala: I hadn't considered a waterfall cardi with it... Hmm, that would the ultimate comfort option ;) I like the color too, it's pretty flattering on me since I'm really fair with dark hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791662 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:02:17 +0000 MrsKoala 791662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That color is really in right now! Very pretty! You could do a really nice statement necklace with that neckline. I would go with something in gold. I think a gray/black cardi would look cute if you want some arm coverage. I have a cute black waterfall cardigan from Express that has been great with dresses like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791619 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:54:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 791619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pair this with metallic accessories (like a statement necklace) and nude patent pumps-or nude patent peep toe pumps--although a pointed toe will make your legs look longer and leaner. Nude pumps do a body good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791618 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:54:22 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 791618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the dress! I think I'd do gray opaque tights and a matching cardigan. Your face is gorgeous so I really think that blue will make you look even more gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791617 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:54:22 +0000 mediagirl 791617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty conservative so I would go with nude shoes and a simple silver or gold necklace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791616 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:54:13 +0000 knittylady 791616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo maybe a light colored blazer? Like white or blush? Paired with nude shoes and then maybe a fun piece of jewelry in another bright color? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791607 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:51:51 +0000 MrsTiz 791607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oooh I love that!</p> <p>Maybe a fun headband and some peep toes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-a-fool#post-791591 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:48:42 +0000 mrs. bird 791591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a dress, mostly 'cause it's super comfy :D and I'm thinking all wear it to my mom's graduation this weekend. I need help accessorizing though. </p> <p>The dress is royal blue (think Kate Middleton blue), a light jersey but looks a bit more substantial than it is, comes to ~1" above the knee, the top is cut pretty high and the bottom has some volume to it. It looks better on than it does on the hanger (as much as anything on my body could) :P I'm kind of a chunky monkey, so points for anything that will make me look slimmer. Also I have to wear something over it since its only gonna be in the upper 60s &amp; we'll be inside. </p> <p>And.... Go! :) (or suggest another dress if this one is totally heinous!) </p> [attach=2301/13/mmyhpz.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=2301/13/mmyhq1.450x600.image_1.jpeg]
