Dawn in OH Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like the 2nd one, a lot. I don't think it's matronly at all. I'm jealous that I can't get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like the second one. I don't think it is matronly at all. I think it's elegant and classy, and would be just beautiful for the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can do a classy little heel with thin rhinestone straps if you go with the silver shirt.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscopterdoc Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I personally like #1. I would not have the figure for it so I wouldn't wear it. :( I do not think it is too *young*. #2 is perfect for just about anything, but for Christmas it would be spectacular in red.

Brigitte Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 #2 is nice, but *yawn* a bit on the blah side. Yes, you could accessorize it etc, but .... I like #1 and if snazzy is your style, I say go for it. It is not young looking, but not matronly either. Just right. #3 would be my first choice. You can make it snazzy with the fancy pants. I think it is simple and very elegant. I wore a gold sleeveless top with a linen skirt that had a bit of a shimmer to it for our annual convention this year and I was really pleased with the results. It was comfortable, yet elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like the black dress. You could accessorize with a nice Christmasy pin and earrings, and wear it at other times. No 1 doesn't look Christmasy enough, tho I think it'd be a smashing dress. I don't really like the top alone, unless you had a fabulous jacket. If you have the legs and need a black dress, go for 2! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like #1 the best..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Mac Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I vote for number 1. I love the colours :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calledtobehome Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I vote for number 1. I think it's a nice dress and no you are not to young to wear it. It's also different. Not the same old red and gold glitter outfit we see every year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHisGrip Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 #3, except I would choose a dressy, nice-fitting pair of black pants that weren't shiny or flimsy. Just a nice blend with a nice weight to them. Pick a good pair and you can wear them all year long, almost. High heels. I love the look of pants with heels and a dressy top. With #1, even though I am petite weight-wise and height-wise, I would worry about the layers of the fabric "adding weight" to me. Oh, I just realized that one of the reasons I love pants with heels is it makes me look taller. So, if you're tall and self-conscious about that, you might want to avoid that look. Have fun choosing!

Barb_ Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'd say try them all on and go with the one that suits your figure best. Filling out a dress or top the right way will make it go from *eh* to amazing. Any one of the three would work beautifully, but #2 would be the best investment since you could work it for any season.

Barb Exactly what I was going to post. *Except*... that I think option #3 is the best investment because you can wear the pants all year long with assorted tops several times a week and it will always look different. And the top would look great with a pencil skirt, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melora in NC Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think #2 is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I like them all -- number one is different and I like that -- it is easily a stunning dress for the holidays with the right acessories. Number 2 is beautiful and classic -- same comment as number one as far as accessories -- you will blend in a little more with the crowd in this one. However, if you select this one, please make sure it is hemmed and your knees show (not too much) otherwise it will look matronly. Number 3 - comfortable -- and the same 'blending in with the crowd' comment as number two. So, I guess that if you want to make a 'splash' go with number one!

Starr Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dd 15 and I vote for #1 or #3. #1 is not too young. Styles are changing and this is a fun one to go with. You can wear it all year. For a sparkle holiday look and less money #3 would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I like the first one...I was just at Penney's as dd needed to exchange the dress i got her for her birthday. The first one is NOT too young for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'd go for number 1. I am also over 40 and would wear it with no hesitation. The other 2 choices are nice, but number 1 sets itself apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Number 1 is my vote, but I dress for my dh, and he would love this on me. I'm thinking of getting it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well I'm 45, and if #1 looked right on me once I was in it, I'd get it! I should also say I like your taste, as all of them are quite nice choices! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
