You girls have NO idea how long I have been trying to make this thing let me upload my pics! It says they are too big.. then they aren''t recognized, ahhhhhhh

BUT i think I may have figured it out.

OK - update.. I ordered two Betsey Johnson dresses off Ebay last week. I got both of them in the mail..all had their tags still attached and I thought they were beautiful! Well, then I invited my mom over and tried them on.

Her response, "Oh, they just don''t do annnnnything for you at all." I was so upset. My mom is in her 60''s and doesn''t have the same fashion sense as me at all. I would have much rather her say she didn''t like them rather then say they don''t do anything for me at all. ANYWAY, I am going to try to post some pics. The first dress can be worn with either the straps up or down, which do you prefer. And which do you prefer out of the two dresses. One, I will wear to my rehersal dinner and one I will wear to a rather fancy cocktail reception I am going to in August.

Also, I had my Chanel makeup trial run today. Overall I like it, but I think I want something more dramatic for the big day! I am having a winter evening wedding and want a natural glowy look but also dramatic eyes! What do you think!?

Send em to admin.
 
ooohhhh....I was hoping you would show pics of the dress. I thought it looked great when you got it in your other post!
I wish I could help with the picture sizing, but I can''t figure that out either...
 
I would take the original photo (the large sized one), right click on it in Windows Explorer and choose Send To Mail Recipient (provided you have Outlook on your computer). it will then ask if you want to make the picture smaller. choose that and then copy the new smaller file back to your hard drive. that''s how I do it.
 
I prefer the blue one for your rehearsal dinner because I think it is less dated, thinking of looking at your wedding album in twenty years ;)


Both are really cool and look great on you! I think I prefer the straps up because the straps down reminds me of an eighties movie. It is hard to tell with the pictures being so small though.

I like the color of the first one. Don''t worry about your mom... my mom makes me feel awful when I show her dresses because I feel like her eyes are piercing me as she checks me out. I think it''s leftover anxiety from being 13 and nothing fitting because my mom is actually very helpful and nice when I ask her opinion!
 
Noe - I would but I''m on a MAC and I have iPhoto! I don''t think I have outlook. Let me check! I will try to figure something out!
 
hey I have a Mac and this is what I do, Open it in Preview, adn then go to tools and adjust size..its work PERFECT!! :-) iphoto stinks for resizing!! I was hoping they would get bigger, I saw when u first posted but I was like uhh too small and was hoping you''d catch it :-)

Hey your makeup looks great!!! I also like the blue dress (haven''t seen the other one big yet). Are those the shoes you are wearing? This is picky of me, but I think a pair of shoes with a horizontal strap across your foot and possibly ankle strap or slingback in the back would look better with the belt. That''s just my personal preference though, so feel free to ignore my unsolicited advice!
 
The left side is down a little too far in this one!

HEY! Definitely not the shoes I am wearing! I haven''t gotten my other ones in yet! These are just a pair that I''ve had for a couple years and threw them on because the heel is pretty big! Thanks so much for the feedback! I think I want a little more eye makeup for the wedding though!
 
I really like the blue one on you. I would wear that for the RD. The makeup is great! You could do a little more of the dramatic eye for the wedding, and that would definetly look nice also
 
haha, good. I didn''t want to hurt your feelings if those were the shoes you were wearing, but I think your dresses deserve something fancier!


I can tell from your fun dresses that you''d be the the type who would want snazzy makeup

I think the skin and lips look great, and adding some eye makeup would be great without worrying about looking overdone since everything else is just fresh and understated.
 
I think your eyes are dramatic enough. a bride should be look sweet and romantic in her photos, not like a rock star. that is my humble opinion.

I like the first dress better. I like the lace on the black one but am not thrilled about the straps either way you wear them.
 
yes i definitely like the blue on better :-)
 
I like the makeup!

I also like the first dress a lot. The second dress I don''t love the neckline too much, or the sleeves.

Nice calfs by the way! I''m always noticing muscles, I love the way they look, especially the ones I don''t have any of. haha
 
Your makeup is beautiful! You are a stunner! My fave is the blue dress.
 
I happen to think the make up is awesome.

And I love both dresses, with the proper shoes and accessories. You are a very pretty woman and I like them both!
 
Wow you''re a beauty! I love the blue dress and the makeup, although I think you could use a more saturated lipcolor, or a shade that isn''t so close to your skintone -- your lips seem to fade into the rest of your face in the full-length shots. I know a very natural look is in right now, but I think you could pull off more of a glamour look with a red lipstick, especially since you''ll be having a winter wedding (pale lips seem more summery to me).
 
Your makeup looks completely beautiful and I LOVE the blue strapless dress. . .honestly, I''m kind of with your mom on the other one though - I don''t think it flatters you very much. Just my $0.02
 
Thanks buttercup for the honesty! Its just sad because I am stuck with it - damn Ebay!! But, I don''t hate it, definitely dont love it, but I will wear it and get my moneys worth!! I think it could look okay if I accesorize correctly! At least thats what I''m hoping!
 
Yah, I''ve been waiting for these pics

Okay, so here''s my two cents...I love your makeup and I love the blue dress on you! I think it fits you perfectly and will look great with your Paris Hilton''s

To be honest, I''m not a fan of the second dress. I agree with your mom that it doesn''t do much for you. So now that that''s settled, let''s talk accessories

I love the blue dress, and the make-up is great!
 
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

I love the strapless Betsey!!!!!

What a chic and sassy (yet classy) dress! LOVE IT!
