Um, you guys rock with the fashion advice. Seriously. Would you all care to move into my closet and choose my outfits on a daily basis?
Anyway, the winner by a landslide was the pewter dress, and I'm not going to lie, I was kind of crossing my fingers that it would trounce its opponents. If we are able to arrive at the airport on time, get our luggage without a great deal of standing around and waiting by the carousel, and then make the 2 and a half hour drive to the wedding location by seven thirty in the evening, I will wear the sexy red dress with gold shoes to the rehearsal dinner.
Yesterday I brought the dress in for alterations, and luckily, since I bought the dress at a deep discount, even with a $35 alteration cost, it will still come in under full price. And honestly, about 90% of my dresses have to be altered anyway, so I've made peace with the necessity.
I'm off to spend my weekend bemoaning the fact that Colby isn't here to enjoy this gorgeous weather with me and trying to work off the entire package of milk chocolate covered mint Oreos that I ate last night. What do you think--about 17 hours on the elliptical should do it?
Also?
YAY!!!
Those cookies sound like little bites of heaven on Earth.

I don't think I voted, but I love the pewter, and the comfort and ability to eat is very important!
I also had heard Ellen was getting hitched, but not see the clip, so thanks!

I never got a chance to vote, but I'm glad to hear the pewter one. You are going to look gorgeous!

I voted for the Pewter one, so Yay! I hope you make it to the rehearsal dinner though, so you can wear the red one, too.
Where do you get your alterations done? Small tailoring shops or at large department stores?
The whole poll thing is such an awesome idea! What I'd love to implement it for right now is bikinis--because I've never worn one before and have no idea what looks "normal." (And I sure as hell am not going to use the Victoria Secret models as a guide!) Only problem is I'd feel weird enough just wearing a bikini, let alone putting pictures on the world wide web!

Ooops, I seemed to have missed the dress poll here. But I'll vocalize my vote anyway - yes, go with the pewter dress! It's HOT.

Yay! for you, California, and Ellen. You're gonna knock 'em dead at the wedding.

awwww...I'm sorry I missed the vote. But I would have voted for the pewter anyway, so good choice! I am so siked for Ellen. I love her and Portia together.

You wear those dresses so well Angela. Glad you have it all picked out. :-)
Oh and I still remember Portia from McBeal days. Loved her hair!

Hey, sorry I missed the poll but I have to agree. The pewter dress is very classy. Have fun traveling on Memorial Day weekend. ;)
Just kidding.
BTW, Ace and Roxy say hi to Jack and Ellie.

Excellent choice--you listen so well:)
And HOORAY for the Cali Supreme Court! Figures something historic happens in San Francisco and I'm in Baton Rouge when it's going on! Lets just hope the super-conservatives don't muck everything up again!

yay for the dress and woo for my state for finally getting something right. :)

That clip still makes me cry. It is so amazing :)
Posted by: Miriam | May 20, 2008 at 04:15 PM
I seriously need to start taking my clothes in for altering..
silly short-heighted self.

I am way behind in my blog reading, but I just voted, and DEFINITELY the silver dress! The other two are also fantastic, but I love the silver one best, especially on you. That cut looks exactly how it is supposed to look on you! (Unlike on me. Sob! I want one of those dresses too!)
