Fancy fancy

Filed under: — Aprille @ 3:10 pm

The bad news:  the Anna Sui dress from Ebay was way too big.  Fortunately, the seller was very gracious about accepting a return and offering me a refund.

The good news:  Anthropologie has some new stuff in their summer collection, including this snappy little number, which I love.  It seems good for summer weddings:  dressy but not awkwardly formal, not black or white or red, cute and fun for dancing but not too revealing.  Plus it looks like it would pack well, which is important considering  that some of the weddings are in distant locations.  And I love the little upside-down flowers on the hem.  Woot!

    How the hell is that not too revealing?? Or are those actually just flesh-colored panels under it, not actual flesh??

    Yes, it’s lined. I am not going to show my nipples to horrified parents of brides and grooms.  Though it doesn’t show up so well in that picture, but the lining is pale orange.  That should make Denny happy, because he always thinks I have a bad attitude about the color orange.

    It doesn’t bother me because the color is mostly blue.

    My wife has a bad attitude about the color orange. Why do women hate orange so?

    I guess I just don’t think it’s a very flattering color on me, and given your lovely wife’s coloring, maybe she feels the same way. It does look good on people with dark skin, like many people of Latin/Mediterranean/African ancestry.

    But white girls run the danger of ending up looking like this.
