Do you wear purple IRL?<br />I love trying on clothes most of the time. Although sometimes it gets depressing especially when I find something I adore and it has princess seams which I cannot wear any more. There are times when I try on something outside my comfort zone just to see if it would work. I tried on an abstract print top last week and ended up buying it as it was just so cool looking.Debbi@SheAccessorizesWellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888489368256761571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-60104296469723473292012-02-26T02:16:58.858-05:002012-02-26T02:16:58.858-05:00The gown is a beautiful color.

At one time my closet was filled to the brim with things I only dressed up in temporarily. I've had to get rid of most of it since moving a couple years back, but I've also bought more 'special' everyday pieces to make up for it.<br /><br />But nothing can compare to how a gown makes you feel.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-51426371431417401512012-02-25T12:39:24.006-05:002012-02-25T12:39:24.006-05:00That dress is gorgeous.

You could wear opera gloves with this kind of dress, or a pretty shawl.<br /><br />Would you consider wearing this to your party? After all, you'll be the Belle of the Ball!<br /><br />I try on clothing in stores to stretch my boundaries. It's a great way to try a new trend with very little commitment. If skinny jeans or the color orange looks lousy in the dressing room, I give myself permission to pass on the trend. <br /><br />But occasionally I'll be surprised by something that works. As a small example, I always chose rounded neck tops. I'm pretty flat chested and thought that v-necks didn't suit me without any cleavage. But something shifted when I tried on some v-neck dresses "just for fun" and now it is my preferred shape neck line.<br /><br />I almost always try on formal/dressy outfits when I get a chance. Discount stores like Marshall's and TJMaxx often get a big batch for the holidays. If your dress had been on the rack, you bet your sweet bippy I'd have tried it on! I'll try the slinkiest strapless numbers and the gaudiest beaded ones, the stately satins and the fuzzy fur collars. Usually they make me smile, sometimes wince, and every once in a while I score a great bargain for a future soiree.<br /><br />One needs to swan about in a gown, even if just in a tiny dressing room, just for fun now and then!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-83709530088564909242012-02-25T01:44:35.111-05:002012-02-25T01:44:35.111-05:00Absolutely.
