Junie Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 We tested this morning and then took a long lunch break. I called the testing company and a replacement test is on the way. I'm going to try to get in one more test before my nap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (((Jean))) for the stress hugs all around! dress - like them both. If it were me, I probably wouldn't get white because 9 times out of 10 I'd reach for something else in my closet first. But I think you have dark hair and eyes (right?), so either would look great! #felpful 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It's snowing here. ?? i let the girls do half a math lesson today since I knew jumping back in after a break would be less than fun. It might be a new Monday trend. Actually, a friend has her dd do half a math lesson everyday, but they school during the summer, which I don't think we're capable of. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Honest Dd just came to tell me that the previous owners of the Geometry text had written some answers in the text. I told her to check their work for accuracy and if they are right, then I guess she got a freebie on those answers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you have short hair, can grow it out easily if you hate it, or liked them in the past. My previous fashion failures told me bangs were scary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Yet I kept getting bangs for years, had them as a kid, and wasn't even allowed to grow them out until I was about 16. Now I have DDs who talk me down if I start saying bangs or short hair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 You all are no help on the dress. I like them both too (darkish hair, pale skin, light eyes). There's probably a reason I don't have much white but I can almost always get a stain out of white without ruining an item, but colors can't hold up to bleach and sun. They have free returns but only give store credit. Maybe I'll get both and return one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I like the white dress a lot more than the navy. I am a dropper and I would not buy the white dress. It would take me 15 seconds to ruin the white dress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I like the design of the white dress better (except the decoration on the belt). I'm clumsy *and* look bad in white, so I'd lean toward the navy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This resulted in a very Monday Monday. I randomly decided to dye my hair red last night. When the boys saw it this morning, they were convinced I had "gone kaioken."

How are returns if the dress doesn't fit as well as you hope? And how tight is time to get a dress? If time isn't tight and returns are easy and quick I'd go for the white, since you don't have other white ones. If you like the navy better, though, go for the navy even if you have other navy dresses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
