Hey. So. Dress me for my audition.

[vicky]

I'm short, size 12, and going for "quirky."
I still want to look pretty and not too costume-y.
I was thinking of going vintage shopping, but that's sort of hit or miss.
AUDITION IS THREE DAYS AWAYYYY AHHHHH.

Budget?

Are you wanting a dress?

Let's say $100. I think so! But something I can do warm tights because it's going to be 41*.

[iamali]

This is a just a jumping off point.

WDYT of this?

I like the cut! But the pattern is sooo not me.

[vicky]

Jenny! Yes, more my style. I'm going to go with Cooking with the DINKs. Play up the quirky, cute, funny.

[iamali]

This one comes in petite.

I love it when you can read the contestant's POV from their style. Emma Frisch was so cute as the sexy farmer, and Loreal's retro look was very identifying. Personally I thought Lenny's "costumes" were obnoxious, but then he went and won. What do I know? LOL

I'm new to the board, but ridiculously excited for you. I hope that's not creepy. We watch every season, and I'm so excited to see how it goes for you!

[vicky]

Is this lame?

[cville]

If it's three days from now, you need to be able to go in person, right?

How about this, with funky jewelry/tights:

How is shipping with Modcloth?

If you need to shop in person, this store has some cute Modcloth retro style stuff. I'm a 12 and they've always had my size.

what about this?

[vicky]

[textbookcase]

I have no recommendations but just wanted to say I AM SO EXCITED!!!

[vicky]

Also, should I get a blow out? or rock the curls?

I say rock the curls.

And I like the black dress w/ the white at the bottom. The gray and pink striped one looks like it would accentuate your middle, even with the ruching.

This is so exciting!

I'm not sure that this is all that flattering on the mannequin.  All that business around the belly could be hit or miss.  I like the one with the city that you posted! 

[vicky]

[candreco]

I am so excited for you! Rock the curls, you want to be your cute self!

[floridakat]

You need to be careful with black, red and white on TV...and small patterns (checks, houndstooth, etc.) can "vibrate".

[vicky]

floridakat, good point! i'm not sure if there will be cameras at this stage yet.

[sugarbear]

I have no fashion sense, so I'm no help.
BUT, I'm super excited for you. Good luck!
