(I also have two bunnys with very orgional names...boy and girl!)<br />Anyway I have yet to wear my reiss dress but I will wear it with a gold and bright pink bag. I love the red shoes idea AND Id love to wear it with really chunky black gladiator sandles.<br />Good luck with yourskatharine whiteleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475882482380710656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-13529333597833274482009-03-28T17:01:00.000+00:002009-03-28T17:01:00.000+00:00Well, what mood are you in, Peonies? It all depend...Well, what mood are you in, Peonies? It all depends on what kind of ruffly rump you want to have. Pretending this is my dress, (coveting it, actually) I would seize the opportunity to display some magical, VERY carefully selected items. <BR/>My "Look how chic I am" mood would wear a pair of little, open-toed kitten heels in a lucious eggplant (with some tiny, shiny buckles on the side, if at all possible) and an exquisite piece of jewelry. What about that lovely bracelet you fashioned and planned to wear for your wedding, (I don't know if you did or not) the one with the tear-drop gems and the delicate spiderweb chain? That would be impressive. Oh and something in your hair. A flower? I don't know but something a little fun.<BR/>My "I can work this dress like you would never believe. Just watch." mood would wear delicious light brown, kinda rustic, kinda Italiany leatherish, chic boots. Some amazing, I-would-give-everything-I-own-for-these, Boots. With a thin little wispy, multicolored scarf. Oh and some effortless, dangly unique earrings. Now I really want that dress, after this whole boot thing. <BR/>Ok, anyway, tights would still be fab...in any color except yellow which is a gross color for tights. I say stick to your intuition and do the maryjane/tights/cardi thing.(If you dont like my boot thing, that is.)<BR/>As far as the t-shirt goes, if it has silk trimmings, WHY havent you bought it yet???? :)blueuncloudedweatherphotographiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900718729787211224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-83853245496993570892009-03-25T15:35:00.000+00:002009-03-25T15:35:00.000+00:00Mmm, grey and pink.

Tights only look cool with real minis, if you ask me.<BR/><BR/>Oh and jewellery with some oomph, nothing too dainty. But not much, just some big earrings, or studs with a biggish necklace, or bangles.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure a silk finish takes a top way out of the realm of 't-shirt,' if that helps.Cate Subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371172824707301749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-21210402510756091852009-03-25T13:18:00.000+00:002009-03-25T13:18:00.000+00:00i think the dress is pretty enough to be worn with...i think the dress is pretty enough to be worn with any manner of shoes or cardigans! also- the most i've ever spent on a t-shirt is 30 dollars. and i love it and it never got holes and i've had it for 5 years. so, if you have the cash to buy that t-shirt, and you won't beat yourself up about it, then i say do it. and i think you need to post a photo of yourself in your lovely new dress!Rachel Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612287376980355306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-8010761805171231412009-03-25T02:57:00.000+00:002009-03-25T02:57:00.000+00:00love the story :) you need to post a pic of you we...love the story :) you need to post a pic of you wearing it though!

If it's sleevless, you may want to try pairing it with a fitted blazer. Make sure the color harmonizes of course. Then perhaps some elegant earrings, with everyday heels. <BR/><BR/>Just have fun with it! The best part of dressing up, is seeing how to pair new things, with stuff you already own. And, if you don't own, explore and buy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-52029569265815029522009-03-25T02:05:00.000+00:002009-03-25T02:05:00.000+00:00NO TIGHTS.

I can hear it calling out for them from here!<BR/><BR/><BR/>And, uh, yeah...55 pounds is way too much for a tee-shirt, in my humble opinion. I think that there are many things worth splurging on...well-made boots and shoes, warm wool winter coats, fancy dresses, strings of real pearls, etc...but tee-shirts just aren't one of them, for me. Something as ephemeral as thin white cotton can never be worth all that money. :-)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123957715477488518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-32557781145707416432009-03-24T21:26:00.000+00:002009-03-24T21:26:00.000+00:00Love the tights (black or gray) with cardi for dre...Love the tights (black or gray) with cardi for dress down occasions.<BR/><BR/>But (speaking as a girl who only wears similarly styled dresses for special occasions), we're talking special shoes (delicate or edgy would probably work) and fab earrings to dress it up.

Or flats and a cardi if that is more your style. <BR/><BR/>As for t-shirts - I usually find the more I spend (up to a cetain point) the better the t-shirt. My favourites are C&C California or Splendid ones from Liberty or Selfridges. Except, oddly, one white t-shirt that was £3 in Primark and a whole year later and numerous washes later has neithered greyed, yellowed or changed shape.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452082852708707013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368120335140927600.post-73713389430949427342009-03-24T15:58:00.000+00:002009-03-24T15:58:00.000+00:00Lurve that dress, covet that dress and envy your c...Lurve that dress, covet that dress and envy your confidence to sport the ruffles round the hind end. <BR/><BR/>I'm a fan of the tights and cardigan idea. Also a big fan of the wedding shoes, maybe a big link chain necklace (punk it up a bit, it's very girly and could take it).<BR/><BR/>To the t-shirt, buy it.

Especially until it's warm enough to feel cute in things that are not black<BR/>2) I have spent a lot of money on a t-shirt. But a grey one, not a white one, because I am a spiller, and because I was a nanny at that time. And it too developed a hole before long.

Lies. You did it on your wedding day and I've seen the photos to prove it. Them together and a red clutch or necklace or something would be amazing. <BR/><BR/>Or... you know what shoes would be the overall winner? http://www.peoniesandpolaroids.com/2009/03/what-economic-crisis.html<BR/><BR/>In pink.
