Dress for Cocktail Party...

and earrings like this:

 

 

 

style #1081922style #1081923

 

and maybe wear a headband like this (or not)against my blond hair :


 

there is also this dress in black:

bow can be worn in back.  i've tried it on, it's cute and more trendy but not exactly sexy.  i think the first dress is more of a dress for the guys and the second is more of a dress for the girls (if that makes sense).

Something about the first one makes it look cheap to me, I don't know if it's the shape or what.  I love the other one though!

i'm not big on that first dress.  i'm sorry.  i hated to say that. 


but i do think that red one would be great in black.  


i always like to wear brown to cocktail parties for some reason. 


nothing else at BCBG that you like?

don't be sorry.  i appreciate your honesty.  i guess i am just finding the bcbg ones either too elegant for what i'm going to, not sexy, or too young.  or maybe i'm just sick of looking at them.    i bought some chiffon ones to wear with chunky sweaters and boots, though. 


the problem with the red one in black is that it's really poofy and i don't think my bf would like it.  i think the girls will like it, but i think that the taffeta material will get on his and my nerves. 


more suggestions/opinions are appreciated.

I agree with the others. That first one is not good. I do like the idea of the strapless, poufy number in red or any color for that matter.

IMO any of the ones Maddie posted would be perfect!  Sexy and fun, but not too young.  The first two are my favorites, though!

Love the idea of the first dress you posted, but don't like the execution.  I think the sweetheart neckline should be straight across to take away any late 80's kind of vibe.  Also the lace looks like it's cutting into her armpits--ouch!  That stinks though because it could be so awesome.


So add me to the corner for this dress:



I've never seen you, but I have a feeling this dress would look great on you!
