Evening Gowns Galore

Before tackling the mass amount of superficiality contained within- please know you can help earthquake victims in Haiti through Wyclef's organization by texting "Yele" to 501501.  It's legit (I discovered through NY Times, which is publishing excellent updates online), and a $5 dollar donation which takes about 3 seconds. Now on to clothes.

So, cotillion is the third weekend in February and I recently decided to confuse the matter by ordering another dress from Sak's (it was half off and only in my size, such is my lack of willpower). Between MOH and myself, no decision could be reached! So she took some snaps, and put the decision to the world wide web.  Background info- in these pics I am wearing both grannies and tights, so excuse any lumpiness caused by such under-attire.  Also, I am obviously going to be tanned and groomed, and the dresses will altered appropriately- both taken up, and the blue needs to be taken in.













Also, excuse my messy room at my parents' house.  As MOH puts it- it's a bit of a black hole.

So ladies- I can't decide!  One is far pricier than the other, but they are both good deals.  Girls are pretty split between wearing blue or red dresses.  Red is my signature color (seriously, hahah it is), but everyone will expect me to be in red.  The things that occupy my brain are sometimes frightening in their vapidity.

  1. Two Cents: I like the blue dress - I think the neckline is beautiful and the color is great.

  8. They both look great on you and that red is fabulous, but, if everyone will expect you to be in red, I'd go with the blue. It's a gorgeous deep color and it looks like it would be gorgeous when you walk & dance, etc.

  11. I'm going to go another way from most folks and vote RED! I'm a sucker for a great red dress, and it fits you like a glove.

    That said, the blue is also really pretty.

    In other words, you can't go wrong!

  14. The blue looks fab, and it has more going on with texture and cut than the red. Plus, I feel like you'll be more comfortable dancing in the blue. Have fun!

  19. My vote is for the blue dress! That shade of blue looks lovely with your skin tone. Plus, it is a looser fit... which means you may be able to sneak in a piece of cake within the month! :)

    I noticed the "Gamma" picture in the background. Are you a Gamma Phi Beta or Delta Gamma alum?

  20. I also vote for the blue dress! Both dresses are pretty, but the blue is such a pretty shade, and I think maybe a little trendier (but still classic)...I feel like I would see this dress on the red carpet!

  21. You know i LOVE you in Red and I do love the red dress but that color blue with that spray tan you get and your eyes will be gorgeous! And, leave it to pregnant woman to think of food but...in the blue you could eat, drink and be merry without worrying about anything!!! ALWAYS a plus:) You could look hot in a paper bag, but let's just stick with one of these! Blue boo bee do is my vote. But you can't go wrong in Samma Signature either...

  22. Hey there! I came over from Slynnro's blog, as you'd mentioned you are a fellow UGA-grad! Yay! What years?

    And as far as your dress, while I would always default to red, I have to say the blue is fabulous on you!
