Bella, I like this combo!!!!!!!!

exoticarbcqen · 11-11-2007

C, I like the red dress..but if your doing a true cocktail party then you need a bling blingy dress!!! and yes, for a medium, depends on the bust though. im a natural 38dd. My measurements are 38-27-38 and I took a small (I liked the tight clingy look HAHAHA). I have a small frame, narrow shoulders blah blah, so hopefully my measurements help. I think a M would suit you well since your 5"11! omg with heels how tall are you women!!!

exoticarbcqen · 11-11-2007

ps. I dont know what your style is usually, but bebe has really cute blingy cocktail dresses. I normally buy my dresses from them, they are made well for the most part and are super sexy and trendy!!

Ciao Bella · 11-11-2007

Thank you aris and exotic...

Aris, thank you so much, I just love the red dress and with my new YoYo's it is so sexy!!

exotic, thank you for all the great advice...I love the idea of blingy, sequins and such....will be looking into both suggestions

Here is my true concern.. my husband and I were invited to this cocktail party. My husband is good friends with the host/husband whom I have met...never have meeting his wife or their circle of friends...is 'blingy' too much? The red dress is incredibly sexy and with a criss cross low back (shown below)...plunging neckline...

I am thinking the red as it is sexy yet still not too over the top... sorry to be so indecisive.....thoughts?

hi CB - how are you my dear?
i like this combo, but i think you should try to wear your sedaraby. they are the perfect 'holiday cocktail party' shoe. also, you can't go wrong with a LBD or as exoc suggests a little bling. i would go short - show off those sexy, long legs!

how about something like these....

and a personal favorite (if you want to go a little more conservative - since you do not know the other guests) - i think the silver sedarby looks fantastic with blue (and this color would look really nice with your coloring)

hope this helps!

Bella, I think for Europe 'blingy' too much, and since you are that tall you'll always get the attention and envy! I love red dress with nude shoe.
Also red is sooo in this winter - what about red dress and the red rolandos? - that would be so

If I had to choose I'd get something more close to the body but knee lenght:

what would you wear with these shoes
bally - my picture

luckyme · 12-11-2007

^ you could do a wool pant, either wide or straight leg but with a cuff, and maybe some funky knee socks.

aris · 12-11-2007

thank you! Luckyme! I'm thinking of wide dark grey!

Butterfly* · 12-11-2007

^^ Aris - Any type of heavy material would go great with them!

Ciao Bella - Love that you decided to go with the yoyos!
I know how a red dress and nude heels sounds a bit boring on paper, but IRL, it looks gorgeously discreet!
You're going to go with red painted toes, as well, right?

aris · 13-11-2007

thank you butterfly!
have you seen the very wide YSL pants F/W 2008? I'd love t0 get them for these shoes! can't find picture!

Ciao Bella · 13-11-2007

Thank you *butterfly*.... I am really looking forward to the night...and of course, red toes!
