Help dress me!
Permalink Closed


Alright ladies, I need some help!  One of my good friends is getting married in Jamaica in June.  I have no idea what to wear.  It's a sunset wedding at this resort:

(More pics at www.rockhousehotel.com if you're interested.)


Anyway, I just don't know what to wear.  It's going to be hotter than hell.  I have this dress, which I'd wear w/ different shoes and I'd be tanner, obviously:



And I also have this dress, but I feel like it's a bit too conservative, or at least not as much fun:



So, the question is, should I wear either one of them, or should I get a new dress?  I love some of the JCrew dresses, but I'm not sure how to accessorize them so that they're more fun looking.


Dress me!  Please post pics or any ideas you have!  I'm looking to spend about $200 on a dress if I have to.


ETA:  I just found this one on Bluefly for $169, plus I have a 15% off coupon.  What do you think?  Would it be easy to accessorize?


style #1069386 available sizes: 6

Oh my gosh, I am so excited for you.  I love Jamaica and was right near this resort on a recent trip!  It is so beautiful, you will love it.


Any of those dresses would be great, but I really love the second dress and the one from bluefly.


For accessories, since it is a wedding, I would probably wear simple gold or silver, but on the other hand when I travel to Jamaica I don't bring anything that is worth anything, so how about something simple and beaded.  What options are in your jewelry box?


 


PS.  I have been to Jamaica six times, and always to Negril, so if you want any tips, suggestions, or otherwise, just ask!  Although, I must say, usually when people go to the cliffs they tend to stay right there, but I hope you will go check out Negril beach at least once.  Just ask to be dropped off and picked up at Da Buss and then walk up and down the beach.  The beach is all public so you can swim or lay anywhere up and down the beach, but if you do want a chair, just pick a restaurant type place; they love people laying out in front because it attracts patrons.


You are going to have so much fun!

i love these two the best:


style #2010736 available sizes: 0 2 4 6 8 10 style #1069386 available sizes: 6


 


the blue one is probably a little cooler, the fabric appears to be more breathable. and cheap beaded necklaces would work with either. perhaps, if the budget allows you, you should just take the plunge and get both...im sure you will need two dresses for a vacay to jamaica.

This one looks so good on you!  You can definitely accessorize it to make it more fun, too... I'm thinking big earrings and a cool cuff bracelet.

I really like your second dress option!  Or the first bluefly dress that HeatherLynn posted.

I also found this one at Nordies:


Maggy London Chiffon Dress with Sash


What do you all think? 


I love that pink/red one from Bluefly, but I think it might look a little on the casual side.


As far as jewelry goes, I'm not going to bring anything I care about.  I'll probably go to Express or Target or something to get some cheapie stuff to wear.

I like the pink one... it's probably my fav. of all the new dresses that have been posted so far, but the second dress that you already own is my still my pick.  The neckline and the length are so flattering on you!
