Yeah, I know...hmm

So I've just been keeping my eyes open for any other potential dresses because, much as I like this dress, I know I will not wear it very often.  I don't love the fact that I spent $148 on a dress that doesn't really work with my lifestyle.

I was in Anthro and I saw this dress that I really liked just for kicking around. It's on sale for $80 and I know I would be able to wear it again and again because the styling is more flexible. I also like that it has sleeves, because I hate my arms. Could I get away with wearing this dress to the wedding? I absolutely cannot keep both dresses, so if I can't wear this to the wedding, I will return it.

thoughs on dress #2 and its casual-ness are greatly appreciated.smile

I like the second one a lot more!
I think it could work great for a wedding with some heels and a clutch.

I still love #1. What about selling it on ebay after? i bet you could recoup most (if not all) of what you spent?

I think the first one is 10 times more fabulous. IS there anyway you could make it more casual to incorporate it into your daily life? Like pairing it with a jean jacket or simple cardigan? Maybe adding a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

I saw dress #2 at Anthro today and while it's cute, I personally don't think it's dressy enough for a wedding.  That said, I agree with Kitty about making dress #1 more casual by throwing on a denim jacket or cardi over it.  I think you could totally make it work with your wardrobe!

#2 looks really good on you, and it seems like something you could wear often...but #1 looks better for a wedding.

i agree. both are cute, but i really like #1 more, and would be more wedding appropriate. i can totally see you lilykind-ing the dress to a new, funkier level.

if you're uncomfortable re: the sleevelessness, styling etc., you could always take ilovechoo's advice and ebay the dress. i still think you'll look positively darling in it at the wedding!

eta: the new TB flats! i luuurve that color!!

I like both dresses on you, but #1 is so flattering and so pretty and perfect for the wedding you're going to. I agree that #2 seems a bit casual for a wedding. I'd wear #1 to the wedding and then see if you can sell it on ebay or find a way to work it into your wardrobe--I mean, you're Lilykind! You can work anything into your wardrobe!

ditto to everything. i love #1 on you so much, and think it's better for the wedding than #2. i hope you are able to make it work for your regular wardrobe because it's so pretty on you.

I agree with NCshopper. I love #2 as a casual dress but the fact the sleeves are so puffy makes the dress less flattering for almost anyone. I would buy #2 still if I could afford it. but wear #1 for the wedding.

#1 still.  side note- i was watching the sound of music last night and the drape clothing that maria made for the children looks very similar!

i like the idea to keep only #1 and just pair it w/more casual pieces to fit into your wardrobe-i think it would be much prettier for the wedding, plus you could always get a cardi or pasmina to cover your arms if your are worried about it, but personally i think it looks great on you!!

Both dresses look adorable on you but I agree that #1 is better for the wedding. And it would look so cute with a cardi.

Dress #2 is cute, but I love dress #1 so much better.  It looks fabulous on you.  By the way, did you say you are going to be in Disney World next week?  I am going to be there the 16th through the 20th.
