I need outfit advice please!

[carawestt]

What do you think of this dress? It's for Lincoln's party.

I ended up buying another one, a navy blue shirt dress, but I can't stop thinking about this one. H liked the shirt dress better because he said this one was boxy and didn't do my body justice. Buuut the shirt dress is a small and still is too big on me, so I don't love it. I don't know. I think I might exchange it and get this one. I can't decide!!!! Help me.

I'm just not a fan of this style, as I tend to think along the same lines as your H. It hides so much, which I suppose could be a good thing, depending on how you look at it.

This.  I also think it is a bit short for a kids party, unless you were wearing something underneath like leggings.

You're gorgeous. I agree though, show off your amazing figure and beautiful-ness!!

[katfco]

To be honest, it looks kind of like a nightdress, but that could be the angle and the fact that it's not my style.

[monkeybabe]

Can we see the other option?

Maybe a belt to go with it to bring out your shape?

I was going to say this too. I think it would look really cute belted! But agree with PPs and want to see the option, if possible!

[laurack]

I'm not a huge fan of a dress like this. HOWEVER seriously, you would look good in a burlap sack?!! so basically you great in it even though it would not look good on most folks IMO. And you'd probably look even more fantastic in something more fitted.

I agree with trying a belt! try it and PIP!!

[carawestt]

Here's the other one. Sorry about the lame picture but I had H take it real quick.

And I tried the other one with a belt but since it has pockets, it bunched weird.
Eta: I took the pic yesterday at the store, so I can't pip it with a belt.

[skiesthelimit]

I can see it work with a belt, leggings/tights and knee high boots.

I like the second one a lot. Gives you more shape, which is good because you have a good shape.

[skiesthelimit]

I like option #2, it's super cute and looks fab on you.

That would be perfect but in April here it's in the 100's (I'm in Arizona).

[irishsara]

See I think the first one looks better on you. You can dress it up with a cute colorful lightweight scarf. I think its really flattering. The second, I don't think, fits you as well. And if you aren't comfortable in it, it will show.

I would buy the first one. Its the perfect spring day dress too!

Ah sorry, I keep forgetting not everyone has 2 feet of snow on the ground right now!

[creamsiclechica]

Since I have no style, I have no real tangible advice, but hot damn you look great in both, and you are so ridiculously pretty, Cara. That's the truth. Pillow case could be option number 3 and I'd still have a hard time deciding.

[kdrake8]

I like the second one much better.

And you're gorg.

[monkeybabe]

I think I actually like the way #1 looks better, though it might be because you look way happier to be in it, lol. Do you have any sewing skills? I'd sew on some navy strings at the sides and tie in the back to cinch it a bit at the waist.

That's what I'm thinking too. I feel more me in it and I would wear it again. The other one is big on me and its the smallest size they have.

Ugh no, I wish! I think I'm going to get it and iron out the pockets so they sit flat and then try the belt again. Haha and my H wasn't patient enough to wait for me to smile, hence the face.

[laouli]

#2 for sure!!

Okay, you have me convinced haha. It's from Forever 21.

[lydiasings28]

Option 2 is cuter IMO. I agree with pp, option reminds me if a night shirt.

I love it. I picture it with a guazy red and white polka dot scarf and red or navy flats.  Perfect for a nautical theme birthday!

Great minds!! 

So, we either both have fantastic taste....or horrible.  I'll go with fantastic!

I actually love the first one. It looks cozy and cute and casual and great with your nautical theme.

I like the second option too, but i would go with the first one. I have been choosing comfort over style lately though FWIW.
