  Maybe I'm not seeing something you are, but both dresses are fantastic on you! Plus, they're a different silhouette from most of your dresses, right?

  Sorry that you're going through unpleasant things, hope everything is ok soon.

  Holy smokes, those dresses look incredible on you!

  I hope everything is ok...

  The pink dress is stunning! But I do understand that yo have to be 100% happy. Take care of yourself:)

  What? You walked away from those dresses? They look great and fit like they were made for you.
  Maybe you should look at these pictures again.

  Thanks ladies ...

  @ Pink dress - I just don't think a hot pink dress has any place/business in my wardrobe which I'm trying to slim down to more mixable pieces. I can see it also dating quite quickly due to the colour. If I'm gonna plunk down over $100 on a dress I want it to last me for a bit.

  @ Blue plaid dress - I really really wanted to love this dress, but I thought it was a bit too long for me (I suppose I can take it to the tailors) - and I guess this isn't the best pic to show it, but I didn't like the mini-sleeves much because they stuck out :)

  ADORE your jeans outfit. The big dots are a terrific on you. And I think that plaid dress -- and I know the type of sleeve you mean -- needs to come home with you.

  I hope whatever's going on, you're coping better with it. That fun, bold top does you proud for dressing to distract from less-fun things in life.

  I have to say I love both dresses on you too. I understand your reasons, though, and if it's not working for you, that's that. However, I wonder if 'distraction shopping' results in the best decisions sometimes, in the long term.

  You look super cute in both dresses - the hot pink is a great colour on you! I get your beef with the sticking out cap sleeves, that drives me bananas. I love your polka dots & jeans casual look, too.

  I hope a bit of shopping made for a pleasant diversion and that all is well with you.

  Just found these on my phone ... a second look :)

  But #3 is something else I'm in love with :) It wasn't there to try on; and if I buy it online it's a final sale ... but it's soooo Stella McCartney (#4)

  #3 is gorgeous! But I would wonder how low the neckline is in person... Is it Le Chateau as well? Their return policy is the worst, especially for online purchases. It really bums me out.

  #2 really is beautiful... I would be leery of the hot pink, though, too. Does it come in other colours? I wonder how it would look layered with navy?

• lyn* replied 11 years ago

  Le Chateau return policy drives me >:( too!!! All three of them are from Le Chateau; I think they had the pink dress in black as well, but I don't want another black dress.

• ManidipaM replied 11 years ago

  Oooh, #3 is extremely pretty and fun-looking!

  I love the plaid one on you! The tucking detail reminds me of Vivenne Westwood's clothes. Are you sure it's not worth a second look? I know you like the fit and flare silhouette, but this more streamlined shape is lovely on you too, very sophisticated. And the length looks fine too. I like the way the model shows it, with opaque tights and flats. I wonder if you could layer a very thin sweater underneath for another look. I like dress #3 too, but don't think I'd take a chance on final sale. That neckline could be tricky!

• Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

  First off - you look fantastic in jeans and boots lyn! You should wear these more often :)

  The hot pink dress is gorgeous on you but I hear you about it possibly not being the most versatile.

  The plaid dress though is FABULOUS and I really wish you'd reconsider that one. I can see it with a variety of cardigans and jackets over top, with shoes or boots. I love the colours and the unique neckline. Plus, if I may say so, it shows off your beautiful figure but in a refined way.

  LOVE the pink and tartan frocks! Both 10s.

• lyn* replied 11 years ago

  Oh darn. Now I might have to take a second look if they're 10s from Angie and all of you ladies like them. :p

  The Tartan is also a final sale.
