Hi Bees!
I have this yellow dress... it's BRIGHT yellow (EVEN BRIGHTER IN PERSON THAN THE PIC BELOW). And I can't seem to find a pair of shoes that goes with it that isn't bright and sunny too! I plan to wear this dress with these shoes & clutch for my bachelorette party tomorrow night... but was also planning to wear it to a friend's wedding next weekend... and I dont know if the fuchsia shoes & clutch are "too much" for a guest to wear to a wedding, since they're so vibrant... thoughts?!?!
The shoes might be a little over the top (at least for my taste) but I wouldn't consider them offensive or inappropriate.
i personally would not mind. the only color that really irratates me is when women wear white. i am seeing a new trend on that lately..and here in the south you would think they would know. and i am talking WHITE dresses, not just white AND accompanying colors.
btw, you have a fab figure girlie!!
Oh girl...you know how I feel about this dress and shoes. LOVE IT! I would not be offended.
My basic rule of thumb is if you have to ask, don't wear it. Not because it *is* too flashy-but just because you might be uncomfortable if you are already thinking it's too much.
That said-I think it's cute for a more casual wedding. if it's black tie optional or something I would go a little more formal.
@joeysgal, thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate it!! I have my dress fitting in 2.5 weeks and am in overdrive on the workout plan!!
The shoes are coming in the mail today, and I am HOPING (because I ordered them online) that they are a darker "watermelon" type color than the NEON pink that it appears. Either way, I think it will be fun for the bachelorette, but just wanted some other opinions on whether it was okay to wear as a guest to a wedding, because I don't want to be "that girl" that other guests talk about as wearing something not "wedding appropriate!"
It's not a black tie wedding, so I think I should be okay on that front - it's an evening wedding, which is why I love the satin dress, I have a cotton yellow dress that I wore to a wedding on Cape Cod last month, but that's TOO casual for this wedding.
I think you would be fine as long as it's appropriate for this specific event - I think the bright fun colors make it just a bit more casual, so if it's a more formal wedding you might go a little dressier. If not, though, no, I think the only thing you have to watch for are white / ivory and, for very old-school crowds, black.
Also, if you're worried, you could always bring a more muted colored pashmina to drape over it, if you find you do feel uncomfortable.
Hahaha! I just noticed my cat is in the background of that picture licking her butt!!
I think the fuchsia shoes are awesome, but if you're looking for an alternative for the wedding, I think silver would look really good as well.
@stephinPA, you're my biggest supporter when it comes to these shoes! Thank you! I really cannot wait for them to come in, just because I can totally wear them again for other events too!
I guess it's funny - I wouldn't be offended or upset if someone wore this to my wedding next month, but I am trying to be so sensitive to other brides' feelings because I don't know what they would think is too much, or if they are only insulted/offended/iritated by the guests in white/ivory!
I'm very conservative, but wouldn't be at all offended if you wore that to my wedding! It's a great dress; very flattering. I agree that silver would be a good alternative!
Well, I will say I'm really glad to see that no one has (up til right now) chosen the "YES do not wear that" option!
I would totally wear the dress, but choose a more conservative shoe and clutch. Otherwise, be gorgeous!!
I'm in love with the dress... I can't wait to see the shoes/clutch when I get out of work today!
I think it's great! Personally, I don't know that I could pull off the strong colored dress and strong colored shoes (I usually do bright dress/neutral shoe, or neutral dress/bright shoe) but if you can rock it, then go for it!
In terms of if it will be too much, I say not at all! I love seeing people in bright colors at weddings because it looks so festive and celebratory. The only time I think someone looks attention seeking at a wedding is if they're wearing something way too casual (khaki shorts at a semiformal wedding, indoors in October), or super hoochie (you know those plunging, mini, strapless, backless & frontless numbers), or really bridal. A cute tasteful dress in a bright color like yours just looks happy and fabulous to me.
I like the dress... I don't think it's inappropriate. But I agree with some of the others who say ditch the shoes and purse for the wedding. I think navy or black accessories would be perfectly fine with this dress and that way you wouldn't be drawing quite so much attention to yourself.
I agree with the others. LOVE THE DRESS, especially on you! But with the fuschia accessories, it is more telling of "clubbing" than "wedding." I would ditch the shoes for some gold or bronze heels to formalize the look.
I think you could definitely wear that dress. I love the bright shoes and clutch with it for your bachelorette party, but I might tone down the accessories for the wedding.
I was thinking, what if I found a nice fuchsia flower clip and pinned it to the dress too, so it brought the dress and accessories together for the wedding? thoughts?
I think a fuchsia clip might be a bit much! If your goal is to tone down the accessories, I don't think a flower clip would do it. If your goal is to make sure they're coordinated, I think they already coordinate because the clutch matches the shoes. If you wanted to add one more piece, I'd do earrings or a small hair clip or something like that.
That dress/shoes are perfect for a bachelorette - - I would wear the dress for a wedding but I wouldn't wear the shoes or clutch, too much for me. I would probably wear nude, camel, espadrilles, or brown shoes...
Ooh, I have to say I love the idea of wearing navy shoes & clutch with the yellow dress. It still keeps the fun festiveness of the yellow, but it adds that touch of polish that makes sure it looks classy and not too party-girl (if that's what you're worried about). Just look at Mrs. Gloss' wedding - the fun pop of the yellow and the classy touch of navy were stunning! Or white heels and a clutch could work, too. It'd be very summery without being as eye catching as the vivid pink.
I think it's awesome for a more casual wedding. If it's a more formal affair, I would say pass. But you are totally rocking it and it looks great!!!!
It's a little much for my taste & I would probably have a double take if someone walked by in that dress. But i'm just being honest. I don't live in a very "trendy" upbeat area either. Small Town America here.
It's too clubby for a wedding. I would not be upset, I'd just be thinking wow what was she thinking and there would probably be snickering. just being honest. really cute outfit for bachelorette though and you pull it off nicely!
Okay, I voted "not sure." Because I'm not. While it's super, super cute, you'll definitely be noticed. In general, that's not a bad thing. I guess it just depends on what kind of impact you want to make?
For the record though, you look amazing, and it was an awesome purchase. :)
I might pair the dress with black shoes/accessories to the wedding to tone it down a bit, but that's just me.
I love the dress and it looks great on you. I think you should go for it. Shoes and clutch are cute too.
I didnt vote because I vote for the dress and against the shoes and clutch. The fuschia makes it over-the-top.
I think it's fine. I see brightly colored dresses and shoes worn to weddings ALL the time around here. Last time, a girl wore a sapphire blue dress and it was really gorgeous. I'd maybe go with nude colored sandals though? I've been DYING to find a dress that fits me that well! Where'd you get it??
I think it's an awesome dress and perfect for a wedding! I'm actually kind of confused as to why some people are objecting to it, seems good to me! Also, I think the pink shoes/clutch are good for the wedding as well, I think it will look very cute and colorful, which are perfect for a wedding!
SUPER CUTE. I'm sure you know the bride very well... if she'd think it's cute too, then go for it! :)
