Keep and wear the shoes on the far right. :)

Thank you Laurie!

I vote to keep! Really love the print and drop of the dress...the shoes I really love those Miu Miu or the second ones from the right..jmho...:)

Thank you! I appreciate any input:):)

I think I've said I'm having a difficult time with this age thing and dressing nicely, but appropriately...VEXING!!!!

Keep or return? This is the Tracy Reese dress; not entirely pleased, but sort of loving the Boho vibe:

Thoughts? Shoes? I like the Miu Miu flower shoes best

My choice would be earrings but no pendant. I think the neckline is eye catching enough that any necklace would compete.

ITA, a pendant would detract from the neckline (IMO)

You could do some sparkly bobby pins in your hair

Hey everyone,

Thanks! You made me feel more confident about wearing those dresses!!!:):)

I've been dress hunting for a few weeks now, for my upcoming cruise, but I did not find anything that I liked or that fit me.

 

I always wanted to try and wear a long and princessy dress, so I ordered one on internet, that would be custom made because i'm 5 feet tall so all dresses are too long for me.

 

And... I received it today ! So I tried it on, so I'll post a picture for you all to see the result of my shopping. It feels strange to me as I never wore this long a dress.

 

It might be a little large around the bust, but I'm still happy with the dress, I like the color of it. I intend to wear it for the 1st formal night on my upcoming cruise on the Allure of the Seas.

 

I will wear a green pendant from Swarovski, with matching earrings to go with it. I do not know what to do with my hair though, I never know how to style it.

 

So this baby will be in my suitcase in less than 2 weeks, en route to Fort Lauderdale !! can't wait...

I hope to find some nice dresses in Fort Lauderdale also...

So what do you think ? Will it be ok ?

Any advice for the hairstyle, or for a purse ?

Love the bodice and the drape of the skirt!!! Very pretty. I think a loose wave would be lovely on you. As for a purse I'd go for a small metallic envelope

Possible dresses:

Orange is Trina Turk, green is Ralph Lauren Black, shoes Charles David

Love the tween dresses! It's so fun for young girls to dress up, experiment with heels and makeup:). Cruise is the perfect place to try on your 'almost adult' persona

hotcarib,

Next time you are on Roatan please tell Debbie and Bob at Made in Roatan "Hi" from Tom and Gerry from Yuma. Thanks

Have a great day,

Gerry

Will,do be back home in March!

I live on Roatan 1/2 the year so Jams World fit my life perfectly!

They are the perfect island wear~easy wash, no iron and easy, breezy:) I fell in love with the line about 20 yrs. ago on Anguilla and have been collecting them ever since!

First Post - hope it works :) This is a photo of me, husband & son in Alaska 2013!

 

Love the colour and I think tiered dresses are so cool!!!

What a great website...was just browsing and the prints and colors are so pretty..I have to book mark that one!

 

Michelle:)

They also pack REALLY well!!!, and are wash and wear. Jams does some pretty decent online sales~~~~but!!! You can score some amazing deals on ebay!!!

I bought most of my Connie dresses and Hattie skirts either at the Jams outlet in Honolulu or ebay!!! You can find new and barely worn dresses for under $20!

2 other great silhouettes are the Hattie dress and the Marilyn (a classic aloha sheath dress)

I LOVE color!

These are my cruise 'day' dresses

And when I'm on the island I live in these, F21 camis and Havaianas:

BTW, I'm 56:eek: and still unfraid of colour, or bikinis!!

Love everything about this dress! Have a great cruise!

 

Michelle:)

Thanks, it was just so,perfect!

Newest dress: Tracy Reese silk frock

We leave for Florida 10 Dec., getting worried as slacker that I am, still doing a bit of Roatan unpacking....need a few new bikinis too!

Chris,

Loving all the info, but most especially the videos and photos!

I appreciate all the time and energy this requires!

So, a HUGE thank you!

Janice

Wanted to share the Activity pages from the Dailies that Risa scanned and emailed to me. Thanks Risa!!!

Awesome! Thanks to both Risa and you!

BTW, love how these PDFs open in iBooks!:):)

We always call it the Sunny, Sun, Sun. I can't wait to read the review as we will be on the same itinerary, leaving Dec 11th.

We are cruising with you :)

Loving the pictures and videos!

Claudia seems awesome!

I love these too! And if they are comfortable, great! If they JUST had rhinestone embellishments I'd like them EVEN better. I just looked and they have them in black and silver, red and multi metallic. Now the question, my outfit is black with small silver rhinestone embellishment on the top. DO I choose black or silver? Help:)

What jewelry are you wearing and what length is your dress? Offhand I would say if your dress is floor length I'd go black anything shorter, silver.

I bought this top yesterday for $15.95 at SteinMart. I was going to wear it with my trusty carwash pants, but looked in the back of my closet and found a brand new with tags still on it, floor length black satin skirt that has not fit me in over 5 years...well low and behold the skirt fits perfectly...:eek:...I just dropped 56 pounds and still losing! :D

 

The top is a very shimmery bright gold...I just love it! ;)

Gorgeous top and it will look awesome with a satin skirt:)

However, HUGE, HUGE props for the weight loss!!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Drew's Wife,

I love all your dresses! You and your husband (Drew?:D) make a lovely couple!!! Thanks for sharing

Also really like the gold heels, a very manageable height, it seems all my new heels are 4+ inches (and spindly stiletto!) which makes me about 6'2"

So difficult to read ALL the posts - but the dresses are so beautiful! Been admiring for days now, now I'm finally posting!

 

I will get one with me in it, but here is my new dress that I LOVE!!! It's navy and off-white.

I just need Navy heels, or do you think silver strappy shoes will work? I won't wear navy as much, so I don't know if I want to buy a pair for just one dress. What about jewelry? There is a sequin band in the middle that is navy, but it has a purple shimmer to it.

I think silver strappy sandals or silver d'orsays would be lovely.You might also be able to wear off white satin sandals~although that might look to colour-blocked. I'd probably stick to simple jewelry~perhaps pearls and simple diamond studs?

Absolutely!

Happy Friday!

Laurie is always kind and helpful to everyone. Did you not see her apology or did you choose to ignore it. Your post is just as rude....if not worse. Why people feel the need to "scold" people is beyond me.

I guess we have different definitions of 'apology'

Also, the original post should never, ever have been posted.

I stand by the rule: if you have nothing kind to say, say nothing

However, mazel for defense!
