So, I need some advice on a dress I ordered online. I can't decide whether or not to keep it. Kevin says it looks like I'm a zebra or that I'm wearing spider webs. Personally, I kinda like it, but I'm not sure the black waistband is all that flattering for me, since I barely have a waist and the contrasting band maybe emphasizes that. It wasn't a particularly cheap dress either, so....I'm stumped. I need opinions! Too bold? Not quite my style? Unflattering? Tell me your real, honest opinion. (I know I can count on at least Alicia to tell me what she really thinks. :) )

Opinions, please

I think it looks fabulous! Definitely keep it. Kevin's never been known for his high style anyways. Where'd you get it from?
Whenever I put something on and ask Marcelo's opinion I do the EXACT face you're doing in that picture. And you basically are ASKING for us to tell you it looks crappy. BUT IT DOESN'T!!
My honest opinion is that there is nothing wrong with having "no waist" (I have plenty for 2 or 3 people) and so you should show off your teeny-non waist. It's really REALLY cute. And that is my honest opinion.
So wipe that look off your face because you are only asking for the downer comments.
(I kinda see how the "spider web" comment got made. But the pattern's much too abstract to be a spider web. And DEF not zebra. Animal print is one step up from glitter on jeans for adults.)
Sarah, it's from Sierra Trading Post
Oooh, did you get it with that coupon you sent out awhile ago? We almost used that! I think it looks GREAT and that you look fantastic!
Maybe the bottom half of the part below the waist is what looks spider-webby to Kevin but the rest of it is obviously flowers.
You are hot. YES. You are.
I think the dress is really, really cute! I did not think either zebras or spiderwebs. I thought, hey, cool pattern; and you can so totally pull that off (though Alicia's right; not with that apologetic look on your face!)
Not like I really know anything about accessorizing, but I think that could make the outfit -- a splash of red somewhere (or maybe multiple somewheres?) I'm thinking a big chunky necklace and/or shoes. According to Stacy and Clinton (confession: I spent Josh's breastfeeding days parked on the couch watching What Not to Wear), a splash of color is usually what an outfit needs.
Hey there. This is the fastest way I know how to get a message to you because I'm not sure what your best email address is right now.
What is the name of that website/service that you and your husband used to rent books on CD? I have to give a gift to someone for Christmas and I thought that might be a good one to give. Can you let me know? Thanks!
Hi Alicia,
We use audible.com to buy audiobooks. But, they are in MP3 format, not CDs (I don't know if that matters to you or not.) How it works is you pay a monthly membership fee ($15) and you get a credit a month. Then you buy books with credits--some are 1 credit but some are more (especially new releases). I've seen giftcards in Target for audible.com before--I think it was $15 and was good for one audiobook. Hope that helps!
