Manufacturers also think waist size is always directly related to height. Anything in my size is super long. Apparently if you're my hight you need to be size 0-4 to find the right length.

I admit I am old fashioned - I won't wear white shoes after Labour Day... But the wedding is so close to Labour Day, that you COULD get away with it. Besides, a lot of folks, don't give a hot poop about that 'rule' anymore. ETA - I just checked my calendar, and the wedding is the day BEFORE Labour Day... so if you do adhere to that rule, you're okay.

I can't wear flip flops anymore. I think I step hard forward so it always digs into between my toes and it hurts.

Those aren't white. I think they're bone/cream colored. At least it looked like it on the website. I wouldn't wear white shoes with this outfit anyway. Oh and only winter white after Labor Day

a hot poop? Ick. When I was in the dressing room the other day a woman was talking to her friend about not being able to wear sleeveless after Labor Day. Is that supposed to be true?

Me neither. Nope the only rules I know are about wearing white after labour day. I also rarely wear white slacks after Labour Day too. I just wish I had great shoulders, cuz I'd wear sleeveless round the clock, but I have small, round shoulders. Barely holds my boulderholder-straps up. ETA - and I have the largest floppy upper arms on the planet... so I guess that rules out sleevless for anyhow. But you have nice shoulders! Oh and I also have jumbo big toes and the rest of my toes are tiny. But I happen to like my toes/feet.

Kaili, I'm going to go against the grain: I think the black top makes the outfit too busy looking. I notice when watching 'Red Carpet' events that the ladies who look the best have the least amount of 'froo-froo' going on.

PS. By wearing the black top you are cutting yourself in half and it gives a bit of a 'dumpy' impression. The dress print as a whole elongates you and is very slimming and classy looking.

This is the other pair I have, but the black ones looked better with it I think.

I just need some sort of top as a just in case I get chilly thing. I like the dress on it's own the best, but I don't know how cold I'll be getting during all this. In the winter I have worn long underwear when going out because I get so cold all the time.

kaili, all those 'rules' are from way back before we were born and i can guarantee you that the younger generation could careless. and, you should too. wear what you want when you want as long as you feel comfortable doing so.

Wear the black shoes; bring the black sweater if it gets chilly... that's my vote as someone who styles people from time to time

I love those white shoes, but I totally agree the black goes better with the outfit. This is fun... thanks for letting us participate in this... Handbag/Purse colour is important too, as part of the overall presentation, IMHO.

I have black and brown. I know I can get any color, shape, and size I want from a friend at work. She's obsessed and has purse parties a few times a year. LOL

Purse parties... sounds like FUN! When I was packing for our cruise, I couldn't decide which evening bag (one black, one silver) to take so Chaplin who was helping me, tossed 'em both in the suitcase. LOL. I ended up needing them both! You're lucky, you don't really need one during the daytime, IMHO.

Stick with a purse that's not tooo formal. It will downplay the dress too much if it's really dressy. Since your dress is patterend, I'd stick with a solid color for the bag, maybe black to go with the shoes and the lolights of the dress.

Black shoes you modeled are super for that dress. So, smallish black purse to match black shoes. Black top is fine as a chill chaser unless you find one you like better in the meantime. You are going to look like a million dollars. Once when I was young, like maybe 20, after my parents had died, I went to the redneck wedding of some friends of my then-boyfriend. I had a hand knit sweater skirt and shell top that my mother had knit before she died. It was white. I had no idea at the time that only the bride gets to wear white to the wedding. The bride told me off. I was mortified, both that I had made the faux pas, and that she took the time out of her wedding day to come over and tell me off.

I like the black shoes, along with the dress. Do you have a wristlet purse? That would go nice with the dress.
