Backyard wedding for my kid
 

I despise shoe shopping and clothes shopping. Yet that is exactly what I did today. Actually, I did some of it yesterday through the Coldwater Creek catalog (expensive, yes, but I like their stuff and it's a wedding!).

The wedding for my kid is on Friday. It's a backyard wedding, so it's casual. Guys are wearing khaki pants and white shirts. Last year, my daughter got married on the beach. It's not as informal as that--I wore a sundress for that one!

The things I liked in the catalog were only CATALOG items, so being stupid, I ordered each thing I liked so that I could try them on and find ONE thing I liked.

Help me out here. Tell me what you think! I have a tendency to stay away from bright colors. And what I was leaning towards, the ladies at the store told me I shouldn't wear although they said I looked nice in it. It took 4 of them, but they picked an outfit out (and jewelry cuz I don't really have any to speak of) and then they forced me to go get shoes that would fit the outfit.

This one looked blechy:http://www.coldwatercreek.com/Produc...sembleid=47805

I liked this one (fishy dress):

They liked this one but said it was too fall and that I shouldn't wear it (skirt set):

And this is what they picked out for me (their choice):

The two ladies at the store said they hadn't seen anyone who had looked nice in that top and that I was the first. And there was an older man there with his wife who said that it looked really nice on me.

But....... but........ it's so BRIGHT!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I don't wear flashy colors. see: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/at...7&d=1217023809

Do you think I could get away with it?

None of the pictures show for me so I can't give you an opinion!

:p

I had to redo the links. ;) They should work now.

My kid just called. He said they were thinking of doing the rehearsal at 4 or 5 tomorrow because dinner will be at 6. They JUST decided this.

I have to work tomorrow. I can't get off until 4. So I'm going to miss the rehearsal. :(


!$^@^ #@$# !^$@#


I HOPE they change their mind about the time. :(

i can't get the links either gazelle.
safari won't open the page.

maybe you could get out an hr earlier?
i hope you enjoy the wedding.
they must be so stressful.

i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE the one they picked, you can pull it off, its REALLy pretty :)

Fishy one looks best. The one they picked ISN'T you. Nope.

Gee, are you surprised about the rehearsal? :eek:

The links aren't working for me either. Maybe they are having intermittent problems with their site. :confused:

Cherie

I rather liked the "Fall" one that you're not permitted to wear. It wouldn't suit me, but it has a nice wedding type look about it.

I agree the chosen one is a bit bright, but unfortunately I don't know you so I have no idea what would suit your personality. Did they not have the "chosen one" in another colour?

Remember.....whatever you choose, some-one's going to be taking photos! :eek:

Ok, I did it another way.

First one's the blechy one.
Second one's the fishy one.
Third one's the too fall one.
4th one's the one they picked out.
