stephinika
Okay fashionistas and whatnot...I need help. Sooo on Dec. 6 I'm going to this big work, Christmas party thing and our group is going all in white...and I need a dress. I went to the big-ass mall out here (Metrotown) and found NOTHING. Blah. I'm gonna go downtown soon but if that fails, I'm thinking online. But, since its not that far off, I need somewhere within Canada or the US so it'll get here on time...

Website/store or dress suggestions? HELP. The only one I found online I like so far is this one from BCBG

A bit outta my price range. =p But oh well. But yeh.


HELP. pinch.gif

Did someone say White Party? :D Fast forward to 4:30. I watch it whenever I lose hope in wearing the color white. -.-

Looking through Forever 21 nao for white. :x

Thats such a pretty dress, though the price is a bit of a downer. I always hate how pretty dresses can be so expensive.
Have you tried delias? They have had some really cute dresses.
espressive
try white house black market! EVERYTHING is black or white. granted most of them are a mix of black&white, but there are some solid colors (mostly black tho...) like this one
misoshiru
you guys have to keep in mind that Steph lives in Canada since some US stores don't ship to Canada.


steph, what's your price range?

the first one and the last one are too expensive. and the one in the middle is too long and is a bit casual.

BEST PLACE TO GO IS... Macy's.
It's the nicest dresses at a great price.

a cute dress

This might not be what you're looking for but its cheap and there are other dresses too. Plus Nordstrom ships to Canada! And if you find a dress you like online but they don't ship to Canada, you can always use BongoUS. You set up a US postal address on their site, they recieve your clothing and put it all in one box, and then ship it to you!

I don't think they have Macy's in Canada.

Online shopping? I don't know if they ship it there though _unsure.gif

Heres the BongoUS website telling you the info about shipping from the US to Canada.

I just googled it and they don't. That sucks, Macy's is pretty awesome.

^ imo there are a LOT of cuter dresses on Bluefly for around the same price.

Best thing about Bluefly is that you can browse by price and colour. :) Although they really ought to use a different colour mannequin when showing their white dresses. =_=

...this one maybe? There aren't many white dresses under $200. :(

I have several $30 off $150 coupons for Bluefly if you decide to purchase a dress from there :)

I get charged duty whenever I purchase from there, though... and shipping is about $30..

Only the first one would actually be considered a cocktail/party dress though. Plus, Stephanie and I are both petite, and I know that the second and third would not look good on me, just because of the cut and style.


The first windsor one looks a little more casual/party, rather than cocktail/party, but it's definitely REALLY CUTE. eyebrowes.gif

I had bought a cute cute cute dress from here:

Yeah especially since the second one even reaches lower than knee for the freakin' giant model. It would be mid-to lower calf for us petites. And that is probably the most unflattering length in the entire universe unless you're Heidi Klum.

Love that first Windsor dress.

do you mean jennys dress?
it is sooo cute!

I checked on Delias and these are more ivory than white, but they're also super cheap (less than $50):





stephinika
Hey guys, thanks for all the help and I promise I didn't disregard your suggestions, I actually quite liked a lot of them...but that godamn BCBG dress hooked me and I got it off eBay for like...$100 cheaper. rolleyes.gif

Woohoo! Just got it in and yeah I'll take a pic with it because I need suggestions on shoes from my shoe collection. =p Cause I can't afford to spend more money on this night haha....

Love you guys. throb.gif
stephinika
K double post but I don't care.

Sooo I am debating...which shoes look better?
Gah I want new ones but broke so yeah. pinch.gif And I know I have weird lines/shadows on me...there was a mirror next to me that the flash hit, so yeah...


K, shoes #1


#2

Gigi
OMG the dress looks so good on you!

Personally I like the peeptoes, but I'm partial to peeptoe pumps over any other kind of heel, so take that with a grain of salt. =p
hi-C
Peeptoes, definitely. OMG, red shoes would be gorgeous with it, something different from basic black.
Smarmosaur
i disagree. i like the first ones.
they sort of balance it out. you have all that skin showing, why show your toes? wink.gif
moorepocket
put your hair up though.
misoshiru
do you have rounded, close-toed shoes?
stephinika
^^
Not in the right colour... sad.gif I have gold ones, thats it and they just don't go.

Bah I want new shoes so bad, but soo broke. But thanks guys! More opinions please! tongue.gif Cause yeah those were the only shoes that really went with this dress...but you can't really see in that pic, but those peeptoes have red underneath.
Gigi
Yeah peeptoes > the first pointy ones, but closed toe and rounded > peeptoes. But since you don't have the right ones, peeptoes it is!

Ehh, you're short, you can get away with showing more skin than the average girl. And what's a couple of toes? ;)
hi-C
Red shoes [/peer pressure]
stephinika
^^
Lol I wish but hey the bottoms of the peeptoes are red... so thats halfway there. =p

I'll look around and if I find cheap ones maybe but I doubt it. You guys seriously don't understand how broke I am...should not have bought this dress but I couldn't help it. pinch.gif Hahaha
karmakiller
That dress looks so good on you, though. I like the peeptoe shoes better, too.
Just_Dream
I'm also partial to the peeptoes - they look super cute! You could always doe white and plain french tips on your toes wink.gif Also I've always thought peeptoes are more visually slimming on the legs than closed-toed pointy shoes - I'm not sure why. It happens to me.

Damn, that dress is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Especially on you, Steph! throb.gif
misoshiru
red bottoms like christian louboutins?
stephinika
Yes. They're pretty much knock-off's of these Christian Louboutins. rolleyes.gif

But I didn't know they looked exactly like a pair of Louboutins until after... tongue.gif haha
Joanne
Oh my god.
stephinika
^^
Lol what? tongue.gif
Joanne
I know they're not the actual Christian Louboutins, but...

I hate how I love your shoes. sad.gif
stephinika
^^
Lol, Le Chateau. tongue.gif
Just_Dream
Dude, even if they're fake, I'd still wear them because they're HOT! Are they also really comfortable, Steph? lol shh don't let Tung know that you got fakes.
stephinika
^^
Unfortunately, not really. Well...its messed up. One fits perfect, the other one hurts. But they're the same size. But fit different. I don't know. Whatever, I sacrifice my feet for pretty shoes all the time so whatever. =p Lol
Just_Dream
Haha yea I have some shoes that I cannot wear for a long time but I do anyways, but fortunately I bought some that are comfortable... which I end up wearing everyday lol. Actually, my right foot is slightly bigger than my left. It's a fact, since all the shoes I've tried on have felt tighter on my right when compared to my left! ^^;; But it's not a big difference though.


/thread hijacking
misoshiru
it's okay if they're uncomfortable. haha.
i believe in pain is beauty at times.

Exactly, haha. rolleyes.gif
