Thoughts?
Permalink Closed

I tried this dress on at Saks today and really liked it but they only had it in gold in store so I just ordered it. I want to wear it to my DH's partners dinner at the Four Seasons next Tuesday. Thoughts? Is it cute, too fancy? I swear I hate these dinners, they always send me into a panic.


How should I accesorize. Keep in mind I have to wear hose of some sort since it's like 0 degrees in Chicago and my legs are so pale they are glow in the dark.

i it!! in fact, who's the designer?

i think it's perfect for the event, and i would do earrings and a bracelet (or several bracelets).  i would just do close toed pump with embellishment if you want a bit more bling.

That seems like the perfect combination of sexy and conservative.

The designer is called Black Halo never heard of them until now. The dress style is the Jackie O dress.

I love it too, Collette!  Classic, but the neckline gives it a bit of edge.

I'd do a low, smooth twist with a deep side part, and these:

(the really big suckers)
... and one of your lovely pairs of CL pumps (possibly leopard?).  I'd probably do black hose.

That dress is hotness , but still very appropriate!

I'd wear it pretty much the way Elle recommended, but me being me would probably wear black tights with a subtle chevron-type pattern on them and swap the pearls for diamond studs.

(btw, is the gold very blingy or is it nice and subtle?)

I love it. It's classic yet edgy at the same time. I think peep toe heels and some pearl studs like Elle suggested would be perfect.

I agree with the rest.  That is a gorgeous dress and is edgy but elegant.  I would keep the accessories very understated.  Either simple pearls, diamond studs, or small silver hoops and possibly a bracelet.

Definitely a wow dress.

The gold was actually very pretty however it had a bit of sparkle woven in so it's a bit too blingy for me for this situation. However if I had a more fun party to go to I definately would have considered it!

Very hot. I think pearls would look great, too.
