Outfit opinions

[twinmomma]

Ok ladies. I need opinions. I bought this on a whim to wear to a daytime, casual outdoor wedding. But I am so conflicted on wearing it. Am I cool/trendy enough to pull it off? Is the color ok? Is it just weird? Real life friends are split 50/50 on feedback. Lol
First picture is website model. Second is me (poofed it).

I am not a fan.

I think it’s cute on you, but I don’t love it for a wedding. Maybe I’m too old though.

No on a wedding. Yes for a back yard BBQ, ball game, kid party.

[mommyatty]

I think it’s even a great date outfit!

It's cute!

But for a wedding, you'd really have to glam it up a bit. I'd add a necklace, bangles, and a thin waist belt to pull the look together. Also, consider a strapless bra to make the look fancier.

you look really cute!! (Disclaimer, I don't like extra straps so I don't normally wear spaghetti straps nowadays but that's a personal thing. You look cute.)

When you say outdoor casual, how outdoor casual is it? I've been to weddings where that would definitely be ok. But think: in a back yard, groom in jeans, bride in a sundress rather than a wedding gown. BBQ buffet line and kegs of beer. In that case, yes, it's totally fine.

If it's more formal than that, I'd go more with a sun dress or some such.

+1 to all of this.

It looks fine on you, but I don't think it will work for a wedding.

I’m also team cute, not wedding.
Also team strapless bra and necklace.
I’d also like it better if it was just a dress, but that’s because I don’t take fashion risks like this because they make me nervous!

Wedding is super casual, backyard style. Bra in picture is definitely not what I'd wear with it. I was thinking I need a lacy bralette thing, since the top is surprisingly baggy and I think meant for that? I have no idea. I have some chunky fun necklaces I could pair with it.

2chatter, I don't take fashion risks either. I have plenty of sundresses to wear instead, but caught this on the clearance rack and decided to bring it home and try it out.

I will likely wimp out and not wear it, especially since it will require bra shopping.

twinmomma - I am good at buying fashion risks and not wearing them!

I do think a bralette would be cute too!

[erinshelley21]

I think that totally looks better on you than it does the model. I'm going to be the odd ball and say it looks fine for a casual backyard wedding if dressed up a bit with the right jewelry and the lacy bralette even sounds appropriate.

[ilovelucyvv]

I could go either way but I probably lean toward going for it because you only live once and you pull it off way better than i could especially if you wear it with the right shoes and jewelry

[sunbutter]

I think conceptually it makes sense and really flatters you. However, the way that the material is falling and draping looks cheap. So I would save for something even more casual than a casual outdoor wedding.

[twinmomma]

Thanks for the feedback all! I think it's going to be a game time decision on whether or not I wear it.

[HeartofCheese]

I didn't see the pic of you in it, but if you added a light jacket and a wide matching belt with a sophisticated hairstyle, I think it would fly for a wedding.

ETA: Pics just as ideas. I am so not good at fashion...

[divanerd]

Not for a wedding
