Hiya!
Hope this isn't too random, but had to ask...
First... I kinda already know what my style is, and I'm not very *showy*, and I'm very anti looking sl*tty... I thought I'll share that info first so you'll get my reasoning behind this question...
It's a good friends birthday tomorrow, and she's having a party, I can mostly guess what most of the other girls will be wearing (think herve leger - short bandage/tight and heels), I wont ever wear that, not because I don't think I'll look nice, but because I'm very tall (5'10), tiny, yet shapely, and I think I'll feel a bit sl*tty if I did... It's just as simple as mini dresses will always be extra mini on me.
However... I've been asked to wear a hot dress.. And want to wear one of my favourites, but as its very short, I always wear them with tights... But her request also included - its summer, please don't wear tights. Shes one of my best friends and just moved to london from la, so its sort of a fair request.
Anyways, I wish I had a camera to show you, but using google I found pictures of alexa chung wearing said dress with tights, and model on runaway without tights.
I dont know how tall alexa is, so cant compare on that level, however all our bodies are similar, and the dress fits the same on me, ie: slouchy-floaty, but its still only like a four inches below my crotch, I have been known to wear it with jeans!
So question... Night time party, cool bar, like 11pm-dawn, should I ignore my friend and wear tights especially as I am going to be wearing high heels, or listen to my instinct which says its too short not too?
Ps: I'm 22 and live in central london, so its not like I'll make anyone gasp.
Here are the pictures:
Thanks, in advance... Will be refreshing this page, until I start to get ready tomorrow lol.
(Please don't tell me how over that dress is - I don't care, I like it! lol)
