What would I wear to Christmas dinner at my bf's house?

I mean his parents are really .. informal .. but I don't want to underdress or anything. I just don't know what's considered formal/informal with them, so .. what's something "safe" to wear?

welll ..... I would wear a skirt with tights and a blouse and some flats, and nice jewelry.
but i also wear that to school, and am always over dressed.
just wear something cute and comfy
and NOT sleazy! go for something more conservative.
i say better to be overdressed than under, so go for it
lol

What should I wear to my friends' Sweet Sixteen? It's semi-formal, and dresses and heels are encouraged. I just don't know where to get the stuff! Anyone have any suggestions?

^A nice dress that's not too over-the-top. Definitely check places like Want Boutique, Holt Renfrew, Le Chateau, Laura, Fairweather, and Nordstroms.

Thanks so much for that! I can't believe that I haven't heard of that shop before. Shocked

I shall definately check it out!

Do you have an idea what the price range for the clothing is there? I mean, for a typical dress?

I just don't want to spend millions on something that I only wear for one day. I kind of want it to be casual as well so I can wear the dress on a regular day.

Laurenne · Beauty Queen Joined: 27 Dec 2006 Posts: 241 Smiles: +4 36

Anything else? Shocked

treecow_ · Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:48 pm Post subject:

1. VICTORIA'S SECRET Clearance $26.99
2. VICTORIA'S SECRET Clearance $16.99
3. URBAN OUTFITTERS $48.00 ONLINEONLY

I'm not really sure if they're formal enough, especially the second one but I was thinking maybe add some accessories to make it more formal. Confused

No! They are so perfect! I love the second one personally, but sadly I live in Canada, and I don't have Victoria's Secret anywhere near here. :/ But I do have Urban Outfitters. Unfortunatly, it's online, and I need it by Friday. Plus, it costs like 30+ dollars for Canadian shipping. :evil:

But thanks for your ideas! They are truly adorable! I'll try to see if they have any similar ones around here! :333

Lil_PinkBunnie · Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 1:50 pm Post subject:

^Sorry I didn't reply earlier...the dresses from Want are about a few hundred dollars each I think.

Why don't you just go to the UO store downtown Toronto? They have some cute similar ones. And did you check our Fairweather?

If you're still sad about the knit dress from Aritzia, they just got a new one out at Urban Behaviour. It's a lot cheaper at 29.50, but I still think mine is cuter. But that's just me. It's not on their website yet, I checked. But they also hd this dress at the same price:

^^ No, not yet. I'm going tomorrow since I don't have any school. :3 But I will! I'm going to be ripping through all the stores just to find a nice dress. XD But all your suggestions have been helpful! I'll definately check out UO downtown.

^ Oh that is cute, but I still really like the one from Aritzia a lot better. :/ But I'll check it out when I go downtown, and hopefully they'll have it!

Thank you everyone for your input. It's been great and extremely helpful!

Do they? I don't know. Icon_ups

I always thought there wasn't.

But never mind I got a dress already! Thanks guys!

^YAYY! You got a knitted dress or a semi-formal dress? And from where?

^Congrats! Glad you finally found one you liked Very Happy

Ok, so I'm going to my friend's sweet sixteen and it's a night where it should all be about her. I want her to shine! But I'm always one to overdress and she dresses really really casually. It's just a casual thing at her house, so how do I dress so I can impress (I'm going to meet new people over there and I like to make a good first impression) but not so that I take anything away from her?

Hm...go casual but stylish. A simple outfit to overthrow them? Like, a tight black hoodie, flirty henley, gorgeous skinny jeans and boots? Icon_ups

I'm wearing this dress on a cruise for one of the fancier evenings. It's just a cotton dress, so I need to dress it up. I'll be changing the belt for sure, I'll most likely be wearing flats and I'll be wearing a necklace. Basically my question is: What colour accesories would you pair with this dress?

My mom says red, so like a skinny red patent belt, "Dorothy" shoes, and a red necklace. But I dunno. I need more opinions!

white or red like china.doll and your mom said but maybe you could do like red belt and shoes and white or silver jewelry

^ I agree with china.doll. A small white pearl necklace would be really cute. Red may be a little loud against the blue and white. That is a beautiful dress though!

Have fun on your cruise! I'm so jelous!!

seasunsky · Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 12:15 pm Post subject:

thanks for the opinions, guys. I'm definitely not going to go with red, I've decided, because it might be too Fourth of July... and that's not cool. I want to look into colours, like yellow or green, to add some spunk, but I'll probably end up going with a metallic. I'll just have to see what's out there tomorrow!

^^Well since it's V-day, wear pink OR red! A think a cute pink dressy top would look really nice with your skinnies. Maybe like a pink silk cami/blouse in a looser fit. Or in red and then silver flats. Have fun =)
