After work yesterday, I headed to the local (huge, massive) mall to get my mom’s birthday present (it’s in October…I can’t believe it’s almost October already!), and I walked around a little bit because I had some time to kill before heading to Princeton for the night. I wandered into Macy’s and just happen to look at their dresses. I have multiple weddings coming up, so for the past few months I’ve had my eye out for a new dress to wear to at least one or two of them. However, I’m a bit picky and hate spending money, so I better really like what I buy! It is also a little known fact that my mom is my favorite (and only!) person to shop with, which makes shopping a bit difficult when we are 650-some miles apart. I narrowed down my choices to two and decided to buy both and then ask for opinions. So, here we are! My two options are:
So, which one do you like better? I really like the black/red dress, but I think that the black/blue one is more versatile. It can be dressed up with heels or dressed down a little with some flats (or flip flops, as the case would be in my line of fashion). Also, it seems a little more wedding-appropriate, if there is such a thing. The black/red one seems much more formal to me, but I like the bottom on it a little better. Thoughts? Opinions? Hate them both?? One wedding that I would be wearing this dress to is on Saturday (yay!), so I need to make a quick decision…totally not my style! I look forward to hearing your picks!

Taking another day off of running…I don’t remember the last time I went five days without running! I don’t understand how people can sit around all the time since I feel like such a slug! (It probably doesn’t help that I’m still eating like I’m running fifty miles this week…oops?) I iced last night (with a bag of green beans, if that counts), and I’ll ice today before work and then when I get home. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try heading out for a short run…we shall see. I’d rather play it safe for the time being.
I really like the blue & black one! It's super cute. Sorry to hear about the injury :( I'm on day 4 of no running due to my SI joint messing things up with my left leg.
ReplyDeleteI meant to make this comment awhile ago, but I went to the Maryland vs JMU football a couple weekends ago. My dad has season tickets. Well, the marching band ROCKED!! It was probably one of the best half time shows I've seen them do. :)
LOVE the red/black one. Even though it is more formal, it just suits you :)
ReplyDeleteRe: last post with IVs. I LOVE starting ivs. The most challenging and fun part of nursing in my opinion!
Have fun at the wedding.

I've missed so much this week! Love the cupcakes, wow. I vote for the dress in the top pictures. It's unique, yet classy. :)
ReplyDeletei vote for the second one!! LOVE it :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the red detail on the first dress, but I agree that you would most likely get more use out of the second one. Plus the second one is super cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are both REALLY cute! I'm drawn toward the first one though. Seems more kicky and fun.
ReplyDeleteblueblueblue!!! so flattering
ReplyDeleteYou look hot in both. I think the red and black has a very classic look so you may get more wear out of it than the blue. I vote red!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the 2nd one! Love them both but the 2nd one looks especially awesome on you!
ReplyDeleteThey are both so cute... I think the first one is more formal so maybe judge if most of the weddings you have to go to are at night/more formal versus during the day/casual? Sorry not to be more help :)
ReplyDelete- Stephanie
they are both so cute! i like the first one better (LOVE color-accent type stuff) but i think the second is more wedding-y. they both look fantastic on you though!
ReplyDeleteI love the second one! It's very modern. I don't like how the red on the first one breaks up the dress - it seems too high.
ReplyDeleteI hate feeling like a slug too. I hope you can start running soon!
the blue looks way more modern and pretty/flattering. #1 looks too...80's prom
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you're playing it safe. 5 days off is nothing compared to months! I LOVE the red+black dress!! It is SOOO cute on you! I also like the blue one :) From the looks of it, you can pull off any dress!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of those dresses are great! You do well on your own! You're right about the pop of the red in dress #1 and the bottom is really fun, BUT I think you should go with #2. It looks great on you, especially the colors. Plus I think it is more wedding-ish and seems like you could boogie in it a lot easier! Hope you can get back to running soon!
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous, but I love the second dress with the blue skirt.
ReplyDeleteWishing you speedy healing! The icing + resting will definitely pay off in the long run.
I am definitely voting on #2 (black w/ blue) - that is very classy :) and you're right, much more versatile! i.e. worth your dolla's !
ReplyDeleteI think everyone seems divided. I LOVE red anything, but I think the blue looks a little more "wedding guest-y".
ReplyDeleteBoth dresses are super cute. I think you could get more use out of the blue dress. But, you look great in both. You can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe black and blue dress!! I love the floral print on the skirt and the way it falls on our body. Super pretty :)
ReplyDeleteooo i love the blue one on you!
