Dress U pool party

[robinsnest]

I kind of forgot about the pool party. D'oh! I have nothing to wear and I sure as heck am not adding a bathing suit to the pile. I don't care that much...so there are two I might buy.

This one off Etsy:



Perks:
no one else will have the exact one, or it's far less likely
it's only $40.00
I do think it's cute.

Cons:
It's not a dress...is that unflattering?

other option:



Pros:
Short sleeves and skirt
I do LOVE the white

cons:
Will I get white dirty in seven seconds?
more expensive
mass produced more likely someone will be in the same one.


Thoughts?

Buy the white and dye it blue or something! (glad you're not going for the black, 'cause that's where I'm headed!)

well there IS a navy one, I just thought the white was fun and summery.

And please I'd never look as good as you in the black, thus I'd never attempt it ;-)

I like them both! (Unhelpful comment is unhelpful.)

I hear you on the pool party being low on the priority list, though - I decided I'm going to wear my vintage early 1960s bathing suit! Because that's how much I care, lol. Can't wait to see everyone else's, but I don't wanna waste any of my carefully hoarded fabric on a costume that doesn't get me all excited!

oooh vintage bathing suit is cool! If I had anything even remotely pool related...but alas I don't.

Oh man, I totally forgot about the pool party....crap. Honestly, I like them both, you can't really go wrong. If you get the mass-produced one you can accessorize to make it different?

[sewloud.livejournal.com]

yes probably. hmm still debating. I'm not sure why I'm finding this choice so hard!

The white one is super cute... BUTTT!! I know I would get it dirty without even walking out of the hotel room. SO two options.. Get the white te one and dye it a fun color. Or get the other one... and maybe add a cute belt or some bows.. or some vintage buttons.

thanks for the reminder... I totally forgot about the pool party.

I think either would look cute on you, but I like the white one a tiny bit better
