Do black and blue jeans go together? Definitely!
Do black and brown go together? Depends on the outfit, I guess.
Is it okay to wear short socks, flats, and capris? No.

Love the skirts, De_De and wild rose.

The Rose-Tree Dryad- both pairs of shoes are really cute and the red dress is really pretty.

I've been bit by the Etsy bug and it's Scarlet_Trefoil's fault. She bought a pair of earrings on Etsy a couple months ago and today she and I found this pair of purple earrings. As most of you have probably guessed I love purple and I couldn't resist those earrings, especially since they should go perfectly with the outfit I'm wearing to my cousin's wedding that's in a couple of weeks.

I have an enourmous etsy addiction. Last winter I would check it several times a day, searching all my favorite keywords in the Vintage section ("nautical", "60's mod small dress" "Twiggy" "scottie dogs" "dirndl") Unfortunatly I don't have that kind of money anymore, but here's my favorites page for anyone who's interested to puruse through:

This dress, I am GOING TO BUY. Oneday I don't know when, but I absolutely LOVE everything about it. *sighs dreamily* I've almost bought it soo many times...

http://www.etsy.com/transaction/51561538 I love this etsy shop's tote bags with interesting/random quotes. I have the one pictured there.

I LOVE those Justin Women Lace Up Boots!! I saw a pair of leather brown ones (I don't know the shade. It looks like a chestnut-ish horse. I'm trying to think of the color. ) and really liked them. They look so handy yet stylish in a sense. *reallyreallywantsapair!*
Here they are. Except, I'd fold it up so the flannel isn't visible.

I love the horse pendant/clock with the ClothesHorse dress. So vintage and pretty-looking.

Saw these questions by, I believe, Patterwig's Pal.

I am in no way a clothes expert, so these are just personal opinion.

Do black and blue jeans go together? I wear that all the time, when I have a nice black shirt. Usually I wear a tanktop underneath to layer because the shirt is a little short.
Do black and brown go together? It really depends. black shirt, brown skirt... I don't know, it's a little plain and might not look that good. *shrugs*
Is it okay to wear short socks, flats, and capris? By short, no-shows? This looks fine, in my opnion. I'm thinking not fancy ballet flats, but the flat-gym shoes. It looks fine in my mind's eye, minus the socks. I'd feel awkward wearing it, but I've seen people wear the capris and the gym-shoe flats and they look fine because it's suits them. (Most of them were short. I don't know how it'd look on someone tall.)

I thought i might get this for my ball dress next year but i don't know

what do you think and what shoes would go with it?

I love all your links, Rose - thanks for posting them! I REALLY want those boots, the red dress is so classy, and adorable shoes!
That's the cutest dress ever, ILF!
I'm really starting to experiment a little with fashion, and stretching my usual outfits to something more exciting. Lately I've been pairing a short, brightly patterned skirt with black leggings, a sleeveless tucked in shirt of a neutral color, and then a black hoodie. I'm really trying to make more uses for my leggings, and finding some new different kind of outfits. I love fashion.

That is an AMAZING dress, IlF!! You should so get it. If I were you, I'd try to find gold shoes to go with it. I feel like gold and green would go really well together!

Sure wish I could help with Twig's questions, but I'm kind of hopeless when it comes to fashion dos and don'ts.

That's a gorgeous dress, IlF! Ditto Val on the gold shoes! A gold bracelet or necklace would really set it off, too.

That sounds like an awesome outfit, Elanor! I'd love to see a picture of it sometime!

Oooh goodness, the wonderful world of Etsy. If I let myself go on that site, usually I'm stuck browsing it for hours. Which, in fact. . . was what I was just doing.

Just a couple links. . .

Really beautiful floral gown.
I love the hood on this, and the fabric! It could look awesome with a whimsical white blouse underneath, methinks.
I love style of this one!
Love the colors on this gown and the sash.
I love this style of dress, though I would probably wear it with some leggings.

Yep, I really like floral fabric.

I really like the last 2 dresses, if i were to get one i would go with the last one.

Thanks for your comments everyone. The dress is also in my price rang of 250 dollars.

I will have to find the shoes at a local store because i have trouble fighting into shoes because sizes always vary with high heels.

IlF, I could'nt help but think of these shoes from Modcloth:

http://www.modcloth.com/Modcloth/Womens ... -Life-Heel

Those are nice shoes, i might be able to find something similar in store. Last time i had a horrible time finding shoes, they ever had sizes that were to big or to small in all the shoes i wanted. The sizes change so much a size in one shoe was to big and the same size in another was 2 small.

Maybe sometime I'll get a picture, Rose.
I love all your links again! I agree with ILF, the last one is just stunning, I'd love to have it. I really like the second to last as well.
I hope you find some good shoes, ILF! Again, that's a gorgeous dress!

I think the ClothesHorse dress would look very good on you, Val!

That's a gorgeous dress, ILF. I guess I must be boring, because I would have suggested black shoes. But gold would be stunning.

I like your first two links, Rose. Very pretty!

What do y'all think of this dress? I'm considering making it, or at least the skirt...

I think I vote for the second pair of gold shoes, if pairing them with that cute green dress. Some chunky heels would look great with it.

Oooh, I love that dress/skirt, Meltintalle! I've always been rather enamored with the idea of a stained glass-inspired dress myself; I'd love to see pictures if you ever get around to making it!

Okay, these are the last links, I promise. . . for this week?

Really love the colors and the pleated skirt.
I really like the print and the 40's style of this one, but the neckline is a little weird/low.
I love this necklace!

Meltintalle you should make that dress and if not the whole thing the skirt.

I have sent the maker an email about the dress , she should answer in September since the shop is on vacation to then, my ball isn't for a while but if i get the dress early there will be less worry then there was this year.

are you going to put some coins in that necklace pouch? rose?

I like some of Georgie Henley's style, it's cute because it retains some fun, but it's mature at the same time. I wonder what would be a good way to go about peicing some of her looks? Thrift stores might be fun.
