What can I wear it with? (December 2003 - March 2010)

[boho_babe]

I am quite pale-((kind of a typical english with rosy cheeks!!)) I am going to be the godmother so I think I would have to be quite dressy, but I haven't been to many christenings before so thats why I need advice

It's a beautiful dress, boho That neckline is screaming for a gorgeous necklace as Soft suggested, although I might suggest you wear a tank under it for the Christening given that it's plunging. Just a thought since you'll be in a church. I don't think you'd need the tank for every occassion

I just went to a Christening in a rather fancy church and your dress is perfect. The Godmother at the one I went to was wearing a black pencil skirt, oxford button down and pointy toed slingbacks just to give you an idea.

i too like the idea of gold/wood accessories !
if i was you though
i'd def. go for jade & turquoise accessories . .

 

[boho_babe]

Aww, the pics gone Anyway thanks for all the great ideas-much appreaciated

 

[stevialyse]

besides jeans...what type of skirt or dress?

 

[#umero]

stevialyse, I can see those worn with a plain black skirt on the short side, a light earth-toned tank, and a Dries Van Noten-type ruffled capelet or grey checked waistcoat. Good luck!

Oooh.. that's beautiful, Buggy

I think you have lots of options with that. The obvious being jeans, but others:

- Under a velvet jacket is perfect for this fall
- Belted with a colorful ribbon in satin
- a plain bottom in any color really, but gray or burgundy would be lovely as well as black. Shapes could be a full skirt, pencil skirt, culottes , wide leg pants, skinny pants... anything I guess I would just keep the texture plain since the top has its own. Although a satin would be really pretty with it for dressy occasions...

Enjoy

PS - a nude or black cami underneath, too

Pretty! I also picture flowy skirts or dresses with it. Kind of boho meets Victorian

Yes, I like the idea of silver or pewter ... metallic evening shoes are fun I also remember seeing some Manolo pastel embroidered suede mules that would've worked for day or evening ...

Hey guys, I've run into a bit of a style dilemma so I'll post my question here:

Last year I bought an Undercover t-shirt, it's black with a print of a Buddha with its eyes censored, very cool print which is why I bought it. However, since this year I've changed my style somewhat in that I'm wearing mostly slim pants, the t-shirt looks weird when matched with the rest of my wardrobe as the t-shirt is kind of oversized - long and loose fitting, drapey almost. So I was wondering what kind of stuff can I wear this t-shirt with? Sounds like an odd question as it's such a basic piece, but I was stuck on it...and I don't want to waste the t-shirt by letting it sit as I like it a lot. I was thinking wearing it with a pair of baggy Yohji charcoal trousers, perhaps? Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated!

 

[Curious]

and if you are brave, red or dark purple B)

Be brave!! I think red goes with everything

FTB - the T sounds very cool!! Like the idea of the Yohji pants. Would you lose the effect of the T if you topped it with a slim fitting blazer or jacket? I think that would help to bring it "in" to match the slim pants

 

[Fade to Black]

Curious thanks a lot for your suggestion! You have also given me an idea about the jacket...i don't have a slim fitting, more casual blazer, but i have a drapey blazer also by Yohji that I find works well with some of my slim pants, so perhaps i can try that mixing it with that too to give it some structure and balance, as wearing just the tee with some slimmer pants can look quite awkward.

 

[pointup]

buggy, yes under a velvet [blazer?] would be great .. i'm seeing this with a pencil skirt (maybe in those bold colors suggested) ....some hot HIGH heels.. slim jeans and bold flats.. anything cause it's just gorgeous

 

[cloud9]

cdg inspired skirt...
havent bought it yet.. but if i do..
what kind of shoes should i wear?
i dont want flats.. motorcycle boots??? im clueless

 

[vintage_princess]

^ Cloud9, that skirt is amazing!! I hope you do get it..!

I'd wear heels with it. Personally I wouldnt wear motorcycle boots

 

[buggy]

Thanks so much guys! Velvet blazer is a great idea!
