[adorefaith]

hey softie......this is a little bit exciting........

the white prada top is a little bit casual, i think......
i like the black top & skirt but i wonder what it would look like without the pantyhose?....

this last look is by far the best imo.....the dress...
flattering and sultry...... i dont know about the gold necklace....that picture is dark and i dont know if perhaps its too close to the neckline...?....

thx for including us in this....!

 

[softgrey]

thanks adoref...
very good input...glad you like being included...



**i just dug these out of my closet...
i think they might be perfect with the dress......
they are VERY ysl...and i the colour...

plus i think i could actually dance in these....!!
hmmm...would fishnets be too much??...

 

[fashionista-ta]

Well, let's see 'em Agree the shoes are perfect ... love the little platform ... of this moment and that one ...

...
i need to get a pedicure before you will see my feet in them......

but what colour polish is best?...red will clash...
maybe a sheer pink?...

which outfit do you like ta-ta??...

Ahhh, so much fun!!!

Love that last black dress you posted, it's slinky, it's sexy, it's perfect!

I'd personally go with the silver bag, it gives it that bit of glitz that says disco, and definitly do the sandals, I'm having a bit of a moment with stockings/sandals (and, it's very 70's.)

As for toenails, I would've said red, but that would look terrible with that shade of pink and ruin the whole look. Sheer pink sounds good though.

What are you planning jewelry/hair and makeup wise?

 

[ultramarine]

to me sexy is defenitively a dress ... I'd look for pics of Princess Caroline of Manaco pre-first marriage with all those french disco pictures ... and of course ... depending on the haircut .. a Farrah hair do ...

 

[softgrey]

yay spike!!......
so happy to get your input...since this is right up your alley...

...

so you like the dress?...
you don't think the fuschia sandals is too much with the silver bag?...
i was leaning towards the black bag with them...

as far as jwlry...
i agree with adoref...that necklace is over the top-too much...
so i will just wear my elsa peretti gold knot nklc that i have in the first pic of the dress...
very simple and bare-because myhair will be down...
**and long hair is an accessory unto itself...imo...

and my elsa peretti gold medallion bracelet...
probably a couple of rings...
one gold band (my mom's wedding band)...and a cocktail ring maybe...

waddaya think?...

i haven't even thought about make up...
as i usually don't wear any...
i just know i will wear lots of gloss...

 

[softgrey]

good god ultramarine...

...farrah fawcett???......
it's not a costume party...it's a dress code...

Here's my input, my fave look so far is the one in post 23 on the left with the sandals...... I think black sandals complete the look perfectly, wearing the red sandals can easily change the mood around and make it a bit less chic... I honestly think it would look a lot better without the sheer tights... but it's up to you really... And if you really really want to wear tights, I would suggest then wearing OPAQUE tights in black and then fun colored sandals in glittery shades of turquoise or silver.... or even the fun red sandals you posted....

Anyway, you look fab.... I think it's going to look great with BLACK nail polish.... or really deep burgundy..... I think for the makeup, you should go for the Prada F/W 05 look, with those beautiful deep burgundy lips (very very little eye makeup) and nails, it's really going to look very chic, polished and refined, demure sexiness.

But if you go for the black opaque tights and fun colored sandals, then I think CLEAR or really soft muted pink nails would be a perfect match... + the makeup would then have to be the Miu Miu fw 05 eye makeup look, and the hair too would be even better!!!!

As for the bag..... I would have looked for a more simple black clutch than the one you posted.... Something perhaps the size of a small BLACK square wallet.

Here's the makeup looks I've mentionned:

This being Texas, mine's still in pretty decent shape--wore sandals over the weekend

I think the black top from #20 is the sexiest, but also like the dress. I don't think the silver bag is too much ... you have a long way to go to get to too much for a 70s theme party I like how small it is.

As for the polish, what about silver? I would probably do that (I have a more metallic one that's Chanel, and then a more grey pearl one that MAC doesn't make anymore), or a deep rose. But we may well have different ideas about these things

 

[Kimkhuu]

I think your outfit would look good with no jewelry at all... personally...

And I think no tights is very pretty.... like this at prada fw 05 (style.com)

I don't know if you have this at home, but a little purse like this would be very cute too (miu miu fw 05 style.com)

but if you want to accessorize, a thin black belt worn high on the waist would be lovely too..

 

[adorefaith]

i like the pumps, by far.....
have you decided the silver clutch is a definite?....
i prefer the black bag.....the 2nd pic.....
and it allows for the special gold pieces you have to wear....

its a bit more 70's....no?....
the gold jewelry sounds great.....
will you have your hair up....?...i think that would be great....

 

[softgrey]

oh great...!

everyone has a different opinion......

 

[Erin]

Okay Softie, looks like you've got your options picked out.

But I just want to share...when I think of 70's, I think of a slinky silver halter, long black pants with platform heels, huge hoop/spiral earrings, big curly hair, and glitter. Glitter. Glitter.

 

[softgrey]

well...let's put it this way...
i'm not running out to buy some random thing to wear for three hours....
especially when i have THIS stuff in my closet...which i NEVER get to wear...

...

so for everyone who added random stuff....
that's great...but i don't OWN those things...

plus i don't think it would be very pretty for someone my age to wear some of the things suggested...
ie-silver halter top...glitter shoes......
yikes!!...i'll leave that to the models...

...


great ideas though!!......

 

[softgrey]

jssy...why did you delete your post???...
