black tie event in 2 weeks
Permalink Closed

so you all know and love butthead, right?  well i do love him, but may want to strangle him sometimes... this is one of those times.


um, we are going to a black tie event next FRIDAY !!!  what to wear !?!?  mind you, i live in stupid south carolina where there are no stores but will be a bit warmer, so i will have to buy online...  i don't know where to begin.


here's what i've come up with in the last 5 min.



 


to casual??  i haven't done the black tie thing in years.. the reason i started looking at BCBG, is i know what fits...  i think i may cry.  and i'm fat right now.

i work at bcbg so i'm really familiar with how those dresses look on...the first one is cute on, but you must have a chest.  the second one usually makes people look wide (even when they are not) due to the hem at the bottom.  the third one does not look cute on anyone!  the way the colors are placed accentuate the stomach and fits weird on top.  i love your choices and you seem like you have a bright personality, so this dress...


BCBG Max Azria Beaded Silk Halter Dress


may not be what you are looking for, but it looks amazing on everyone!  it has sequins on it in a flower shape.  it's hard to see.  unfortunately on bcbg's website, you can't copy and paste dresses.  so this was the only one that i know looks great on everyone.  i hope this helps.

what BCBG do you work at?  maybe you could help !  i have a brown deep v halter dress that i got on sale about a month ago...  do you think that could work?  i can't find a picture online.  i do have big boobs, so maybe i could try #1. 


BTW, on the BCBG website, you can click on mail a friend and copy and paste that picture ;)

i can't think of any brown halter dress that we've had recently except for this one
but in brown..

if that is the dress you have....then it would be perfect.

I think the last dress (the one you have in brown) would be great! So pretty! :)

the one you have is hot!!  you will look great.  i still say that you might consider wearing gold heels with it.  it's a great look.  anways, i love that dress and i have it in red from last year!


btw....angelina jolie wore it in blue as a bridesmaids dress.

I love that dress is brown, my friend just wore it to a formal wedding and she looked amazing.  She wore it with turquoise jewelry and I thought it looked great.  The turquoise was so pretty with the brown but it was also a little different and unexpected.  Just a thought...

i just have to be careful while dress shopping.  i'm a curvy girl.  so that brown dress doesn't just hang on me like it does on the model...  i have to try it on again tonight.  i have pretty gold strappy bcbg shoes, and a brown sequined clutch...  so i'd be set, but butthead said he'd buy the dress for me since he forgot to tell me until today... 


wonder if i should take him up on it?


i also really like this one, but i'm wondering how it would look on someone with boobs...

I like that last dress you posted but the model is small chested and I can see where you'd be concered about boobage.  I really, really love the first dress you posted



I think it's awesome.  Since you have boobs, you should go for it, especially since he's buying.  If you don't like it, it's not a big deal because you have the brown dress (which sounds beautiful) as a standby.
