So I have been shopping in all of Tampa's 5 malls and I quit. There is nothing out there that fits me and I like.

So I have this dress...

but in a turquoise color (no hot pink for me!) It's silk and from VS. Do you think with jewelry and heels it would be ok?? His homecoming isn't that exciting, I just walk into the hanger at the command and there they are... but I want to look nice for him!

I'm so sick of shopping and I never thought I would say that! There is just nothing out there. If It wasn't summer and 100 degrees I would go in a coat and heels I swear! :lol

So whadya think?

I think it's pretty!

If you wear jewelry, I would keep it extremely simple. A bracelet or a necklace. As far as shoes go, I'd have to see.

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should just go simple with a pair of brown heeled sandals... cause I have some earrings with wood and turquoise. Or If I should od metallic or colored??

If you already have brown stuff, I would just stick with that. (I'm not a fan of metallics, but that's just me). You could always just try it all on together and see what looks best.

I think you look cute! It's not super dressy, but not super casual.

You look extremely happy by the way.. :D

Very cute :), are those the shoes you wearin? I think maybe a lighter color shoe would be more summery and would go with the dress better :)

That is adorable! I might wear a simple necklace with it, but I always like to put a necklace with anything that has a low or plunging neckline.

:yes
Very flattering - very cute dress- you look great in it! Like this idea! (wood, brown) but any kind of medium heel like you have on in pic works fine-- he probably won't notice-- & how long will you have it on anyway? :hehe

Thanks all for your input... i think I'm going to go with this dress and just use whatever accessories I have. I will be leaving the States in a couple weeks and I'm tired of searching! I know Christopher will not even notice what I'm wearing anyways, I just want to look presentable.
