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
http://www.bcbg.com/product/index.jsp?prod...rentPage=familyA bit outta my price range. =p But oh well. But yeh.
HELP.

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.

you guys have to keep in mind that Steph lives in Canada since some US stores don't ship to Canada.

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

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!

^ 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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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

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

Nov 27 2008, 10:39 AM
Peeptoes, definitely. OMG, red shoes would be gorgeous with it, something different from basic black.

Nov 27 2008, 10:55 AM
i disagree. i like the first ones.
they sort of balance it out. you have all that skin showing, why show your toes?

do you have rounded, close-toed shoes?

Nov 27 2008, 12:49 PM

Not in the right colour...

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!

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
Nov 27 2008, 12:54 PM
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? ;)

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.

Hahaha

I'm also partial to the peeptoes - they look super cute! You could always doe white and plain french tips on your toes

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!

red bottoms like christian louboutins?
stephinika
Nov 28 2008, 01:54 AM
Yes. They're pretty much knock-off's of these Christian Louboutins.
http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/309...XNPRVfUhCrzY3Q#But I didn't know they looked exactly like a pair of Louboutins until after...

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
Nov 28 2008, 05:09 AM
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.
