STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I voted for #1 because it seems more girly and formal. I think I would pick a different top, though...I think the tie from the BR top might compete with the tie on the jacket. Cute stuff!

What are you going to be doing for your shower? Also, is there a theme?

#1 might be better if your going a little more formal/afternoon tea type deal.

#2 seems a little casual/cocktails & appetizers

I agree with halleybird.  I'm also worried that the shoes and the jacket are not a good pairing... The jacket is more of a neutral greyish green and the shoes are bright green.  I would try to pair the shoes with a jacket or cardigan that is equally as saturated as the shoes (but not in green). I could see a deep blue or raspberry blazer, the top you have shown could work or a top that integrates a couple of colors from your outfit like bright green and pale yellow, your pale yellow skirt and your green shoes.

hmmmm... I'm just not feeling it, Irene...

Ok - you have a couple pairs of fabulous shoes - that's a start.

you seem to be pretty fond of the lace top and yellow skirt... do you have some camel boots to put with it? that might look nice...

with the manolo's I could see your lace top with a red or black skirt... - you need something less soft for those shoes to work.

with the green shoes - what about the pink top and yellow skirt? I'm not too fond of a-line on a-line - but I'm just tossing out the idea.

I am assuming you are choosing clothes you already have in your closet? If not - what are your spending constraints?

ok - now for the green shoes - visited banana for this one - not too fond of the yellow skirt with it but it works a little - the top she has on definitely works with the shoes - still like the idea of a blue (not navy) skirt or pants

There is no theme for the bridal shower. And I don't have any of the clothes yet, just the shoes. But I was planning on buying the yellow skirt. -line is best for my body because I am not thin and it works really well with hiding my hips.

EDIT: What about this?

Irene, I like the one you posted with the lace top (I am so jealous, they sold out of my size!), the yellow skirt and Manolos.

Hmm, I like the idea of a round toe pump. I willook into that, however I cannot wear such a high heel like the shoe you posted. I will keep looking.
