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!!!

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!

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?

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

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!

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.
