I do love the dress -- it's easy and elegant both, I think.<br />K: Like maybe take it for a little test drive, just to make sure it's perfect, right? And yeah, I'm pretty tickled that it's going to be more than a one-off in terms of use.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-73036060114716052472011-05-24T20:08:41.715-07:002011-05-24T20:08:41.715-07:00OK, I have to go look at some shoes, apparently!

How wonderful to have a dress that is so useful - so wearable - that you can use it on a number of occasions.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-60347881633025416662011-05-24T14:53:33.863-07:002011-05-24T14:53:33.863-07:00I'm late ,moving in- just had to say the dress...I'm late ,moving in- just had to say the dress is perfect, so graceful yet happy.

LPC: I&...Susan: And these are really good pockets! <br />LPC: I'm not sure Megan is thinking of a corsages at all, and I wouldn't want o wear one if the groom's mom isn't, but that's an idea -- the dress would suit it really well.<br />Mardel: It really will be a joyous occasion -- we're looking forward to it.<br />Marguerite -- I did have some pics of the grey dress from the last opera outing, but I wasn't happy with them. One of these days, if the weather stays as cool as it has been. . . Silver and yellow sounds like an unusual and quite magical colour theme; I really like grey and yellow together.<br />L'Age M: I know! I really shouldn't be directing people to that website -- it's way toooo tempting. Sounds as if you might have got close to my choice, altho' I'm not saying more while people are still guessing.<br />Lisa: Oh, it's fun to see the guesswork -- it's neither of these, but you're affirming one element of my choice. Can't say more now. And note Miss C's choice below matches one of yours.<br />Alison: I agree that metallic would be great with the dress . . . and also agree/suspect that the dress will probably be visiting the drycleaners immediately after the wedding.<br />Miss C: You and LPC/Lisa are on the same wavelength!<br />Mardel: Aren't those a great shoe? But I'm curious about your formal/dressy choices as well.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-10693348782576239752011-05-24T06:25:08.231-07:002011-05-24T06:25:08.231-07:00See, I said I couldn't pick, but here I am aga...See, I said I couldn't pick, but here I am again. LPC's first choice was one that I would consider if it were me, but then again, our taste is different enough that I wasn't sure they would be you. My other choices were way more formal and dressy and I'm not convinced that is where you are going with this outfit.<br /><br />In fact I may still be considering that first pair myself for a different occasion.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-31703482794125587552011-05-24T04:58:43.240-07:002011-05-24T04:58:43.240-07:00Ahh--just saw that LPC and I selected the same sho...Ahh--just saw that LPC and I selected the same shoe! :-)Miss Cavendishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461488799928956875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-89388619501688370112011-05-24T04:56:04.734-07:002011-05-24T04:56:04.734-07:00Hmmm.

I thought belle star were outstanding but so were the pump like shoes in divine colours. You are going to have a fabulous day in this fabulous outfit.

Was just at at an afternoon wedding this past weekend in Florida. The bride chose silver and yellow as the color scheme which was very fresh and contemporary. Can we see the grey dress as well?Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235496900839925466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-13665450011859296002011-05-23T11:20:08.424-07:002011-05-23T11:20:08.424-07:00The dress is very pretty and I can imagine you wea...The dress is very pretty and I can imagine you wearing it. I will be looking forward to seeing you actually in the dress. The Fluevog's do not surprise me, but I am curious as to which.

Somehow I had an immediate vision of some flowers pinned to you.<br /><br />I imagine it is so joyful to see your children married. I look forward to your thoughts, although I am sure some of them will need to stay private, as they belong more to your daughter than to you.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69593173604877130772011-05-23T09:39:14.643-07:002011-05-23T09:39:14.643-07:00Oh, I love pockets too.
