Ooooh. That's tough. You look great in both and both are gorgeous. But if I HAD to choose, I'd say the Lolli dress would probably be more appropriate. It's a little more grown up and a little less disco. Good luck in your choosing! BTW, I LOVE PURPLE too!!!

I want to say both since they're both gorgeous on you with your height. The tights and shoes are great too, it's all very glam. I think the shoes work better with the first dress, however, I also think that look is so much more of a statement. Hope this helps!

Both look great on you, but I would go with the Lolli. It is more minimal and somehow in this case I think less is more.

What to wear to a masquerade ball

we are having this masquerade ball/dinner for graduation. it's still a few months left but there's lots of planning to do and i was just wondering if there are any masquerade (such as clothes, masks etc) related sites/shops? and if you have any suggestions on what to wear?

 

[fashionista-ta]

Have you tried looking at pix of the famous Black & White Ball for inspiration?

shabby chic

i have to go to an invitation with theme "shabby chic"
can anyone suggest me about how to dress?
or a background or any info about this style?

i hope i'm not in the wrong sub

TIA

shabby chic to me is wooden furniture with peeled off paint in delicate colors.. things with a bit of patina, that 'worn in and loved'-feeling.. Things that excuses cosyness and 'loveliness' rather than money and class..

It's a romantic look - I'd go with some vintage lace dress in a country style..

 

[Hanne]

..or something in broderie anglaise.. as long as it's not super sharp and minimalistic.. avoid black!

 

[luckyme]

scour vintage stores for what jumps out at you. worn and loved is a great way to put it, hanne. these themes also come to mind; softly textured, earthy and slightly distressed.

to me, key elements would be a great skirt, maybe some mary-jane type shoes or socks with boots. not the bag lady look but more vintage.

 

[Hanne]

something quilted.. heirlooms..

 

[PrincessImp.]

somehow tea-stained lace comes to mind!

 

[fashionista-ta]

Should this be in Personal Style?

 

[seahorseinstripe]

shabby chic always makes me think of Blumarine ads - very romantic and lazy...
