chopstix2000 Posted June 15, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I love asking for opinions on this board cuz y'all are so open and honest here (but not rude about it!) :) So what color shawl should I get with this dress? black, camel, or cream?

lucygirl Posted June 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I would go with cream. The dress is very pretty,enjoy.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperatehousewife Posted June 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Not black... IMO. Any color other than black... it would be too dark and bold, overpowering the dress. Gosh, it would be hard to say w/o knowing what you were wearing it for? Evening dressy or an evening more casual... because I think it could go either way!;) If it were an evening dressy, you MIGHT be able to even to a silver wrap?Can't really tell w/o bigger pic of fabric. You make me giggle b/c it looks like you have been doing a lot of shopping or LOOKING. ( I hope shopping, it's more fun;) ) Keep the pics coming, I love to see what people are buying! Nosey I guess!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperatehousewife Posted June 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2006 BTW... very pretty dress! Is there a web site I can see a bigger picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyzoo Posted June 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Of your three choices, I'd say cream. Certainly not black. It's a very pretty dress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had a Shopaholics Anonymous, I'd probably have more than one sponsor to keep me in line. But all the dresses I post are from Ann Taylor cuz I work there part time. Employees get a super duper discount at all Ann Taylor affiliated stores (half off!). So, of course, most of my cruise wardrobe is going to come from there :D. I'll be like a walking advertisement for them. Hmm....I should get paid for that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted June 15, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I vote for camel, especially if you were earth-tone shoes. Certainly not black and I'm not sure creme would look right since the dress looks white/aqua/grey to me. Have you thought about a bright aqua?

SuzMate Posted June 15, 2006 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2006 How about an open weave sweater in ivory rather than a shawl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopstix2000 Posted June 15, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Yes, actually, I did try an aqua shawl b/c Talbots had a sale on shawl's. It didn't really seem to look right so I passed on it. I'm going to wear light gold strappy heels with this dress, if that helps. I'm narrowing down to cream or camel. I think I saw a shiny, camel colored shawl on ebay.

chopstix2000 Posted June 15, 2006 Author #10 Share Posted June 15, 2006 How about an open weave sweater in ivory rather than a shawl? I tried that, too. But it looked kinda strange up top around the neck area b/c of the halter top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted June 15, 2006 #11 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd go cream. But if your wearing gold sandals, why not a goldish color...oh, wait....shiny camel is sort of gold isn't it? Maybe that one then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted June 15, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Another cream vote. Nice dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted June 15, 2006 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I would agree, not black. I think cream would be best. Also, I would consider what I could wear the shawl with. I am of the nature of over buying and see what looks best at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted June 15, 2006 #15 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Are you still wearing the other dress you posted? The black and white one? I ask because I think I'd go with just one shawl purchase, in black to go with both dresses. You may find that you are not really all that cold on the ship, or the only time you want to cover up is in the dark theatre. To me, black is just more dressy than cream or camel. And then, I'd go with a sheer fabric. But, then again, I'm hot all the time, so I don't think I'd want to cover up your pretty dress at all :) I'd probably do something like this, in black: http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=65943&CategoryID=1705&PageID=1705*1*24*-1*-1*-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted June 16, 2006 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Love the dress! I suggest cream...definitely not black. As another poster mentioned, black would be overpowering. You want the dress to be the focus and the shawl to complement. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll look lovely!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
