How do I go about coordinating style of BM dress with the wedding gown?

I cant provide a link (the dress is a Mori Lee 2103). General guidelines to dresses complimenting each other is fine OTHER than matching formality which is obvious. Hem line types, neckline?How do I go about coordinating style of BM dress with the wedding gown?
I love the top of your dress.



As for coordinating, I know there are general guidelines, such as same type of neckline, hem line etc just like you said. Also material.



But, I don't think you need to go by those. That's just my opinion.



For your dress if you want to coordinate, I would say same type of material and use halter style dresses. As for the rest, I'm really not sure. Since you have pickups on your skirt, you would probably want to use BM dresses with pickups as well if you want them to cooridinate. You can find them at David's Bridal and probably a few other places as well.



Good luck!How do I go about coordinating style of BM dress with the wedding gown?
Since your gown is so formal I would go with a full length gown. They make bridesmaid dresses now with the pick ups, you are wanting something similar to your dress.

As far as the neckline and style coordinating, any would be fine. It is best for you to ask your bridesmaids what they would feel comfortable wearing. Girls with a larger bust will more than likely feel better in a dress with good support.
I think as long as they are not overly embellished then they will be fine

  • Bridesmaid's Dresses?

    My fiance' and I are getting married next year and we are having to pay for the wedding ourselves with no help from either set of parents. I was wondering how much is too much to ask for the bridesmaids to pay for their dresses? I don't want insane amounts spent, I found this one dress that I fell in love with. When I called the store about the price they said it would be $299 but they could either get free alterations or 20% off the dress. There are going to be quite a few plus sized girls in the party, I myself am a size 18. I thought this dress would look great on everyone and they don't raise the price for bigger sizes which is rare.

    The dress would be chocolate and the trim would be cornflower.



    Is this too much to ask to be spent on the dress? Also, What do you think of the dress?Bridesmaid's Dresses?
    Well, it's really standard procedure to ask the bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses. ';Traditionally';, that's how it's done.



    It's really hard for me to say what's too much for your bridesmaids. You really should ask them, because they're the only ones who know what their own budgets look like.



    If it were me, I'd find a way to come up with the $300, but I can't promise that your bridesmaids have the same access to cash that I do.



    I think it's a nice dress...Not necessarily my style, but it's not my wedding, so my opinion doesn't really matter much. What I do like about this dress is that it looks like something your bridesmaids can use after the wedding. It's always nice to at least allow them to get something useful with their money!Bridesmaid's Dresses?
    No! Thats a great price!
    that dress is not worth $300. you could find a similar dress for MUCH less. it's a pretty straightforward design, a lot of stores should have something like it cheaper. If you can, keep it under $200 and pay for the alterations yourself as part of the bridesmaid gift.
    Numbers:



    382

    420

    440



    are really nice. I know bridesmaids get tortured with ';ugly'; dresses to not outshine the bride. Oh well, I like your choice too...
    It is a pretty dress but I personally think it is a little on the expensive side. I made sure to keep mine under $200.00. especially if you are expecting these girls to go to a salon and get their hair and/or nails done and buy shoes and accessories to match. This could easily put them over $400 which is just too much to expect.



    I also think the dress looks pretty in the picture partly because of the color. I think if you are going with a brown color, it might take away from this particular dress. I would suggest taking your maid of honor to look and try the dress on because the picture may look a lot better than it really does up close. Don't be afraid to try on dresses you normaly think would look badly as it might just be the one that works for what you have in mind. (This happened with my wedding dress!!)

    well, the link you provided took me to the main page for that site, so idk what dress im supposed to be looking at....



    but given the currant economy, i know personally that if you asked me to pay that much for a bridesmaids dress i was probably only going to wear once, i would drop out of the wedding. i cant afford that and i honestly dont know many people who can.



    because think about it. they are dropping $300+ once tax is added, then they still have to pay who knows how much for shoes that go with the dress, then they have to pay to get their hair done maybe, and possibly makeup too, then they have jewelery to think about, then they have to buy you a gift, then they have to actually travel to the wedding, and a pile of other stuff too. it could really quickly add up to $600+ for bridesmaid depending on who lives where, what shoes they need, how they get to the wedding, and some other stuff.



    im a bridesmaid in my friends wedding and my fiance is a groomsman and in our currant financial situation we are already geeking out that we have to pay $130 for his tux. our dresses are getting made and the bride told us they would be $75 each because its a little old lady who works out of her basement, but if it ends up being any more than that, im seriously going to be in debt for a wedding that isnt even mine. if i had to pay $300 for a dress, i never would have agreed to be in the wedding



    EDIT!!!!! ok, NOW the link worked (lord only knows why it didnt the first time) but i have seen dresses almost identical to that at other stores for like, a third of the price.Bridesmaid's Dresses?
    299 is a lot of money for a bridesmaid dress...maybe you can go somewhere else that has cheaper dresses..



    or see if someone you know knows how to make dresses for you and can make this dress for the cost of fabric and some for labor...

    thats how i got my bridesmaids dresses, my maid of honor had her mom make them!
    The bridesmaids should have to pay for there own dress that's what I had to do at my friends wedding
    y rnt ur rents helpin u?

    anyways its kinda expensive...mayb try a lil cheaper n no i dont think it 2 much 2 ask.
    Honestly, that is a lot of money for bridemaids dresses



    I would go somewhere else to find cheaper dresses. Who knows you might like them better.



    Honestly, I love the blue dress in the link, and the chocolate and the trim seems nice.



    Congrats on the wedding!!

    Would these bouquets & wedding dresses go together nicely?

    I'm having a beach wedding next spring with a Spanish flare, so I'd like to have bold red %26amp; yellow colors.



    I'm trying to decide between these 2 wedding dresses:

    This is the bridal bouquet that I want-cascading orchids:

    And barefoot sandals for the beach:

    *I'd like to have my hair curled and down with either a silk flower or a crystal headband.*



    I'm trying to decide between these 2 colors for bridesmaid dresses-either red or yellow:

    http://www.ultimateformals.com/images/bm284.jpg



    Bridesmaid bouquet-red gerber daisies %26amp; yellow roses w/ crystal accents.



    Also, how should I distinguish my maid of honor? Should I have her wear the same dress, but in a different color (either yellow or red) or should she have a different bouquet or sash?



    What do you all think?? Please give your feedback along with other suggestions.Would these bouquets %26amp; wedding dresses go together nicely?
    I like the first dress. It seems more ';elegant beach'; themed to me rather than the second dress. I don't really care for the BM's dresses but that's just me. I like the color red you have chosen. If you do yellow, and if you're getting married on the beach, I would shy away from the golden-yellow you picked; it would blend too easily in with the sand. I like the bouquet and it will look really nice and flow well with the first dress since you have the nice detail down the front. For your MOH why not have her in the same dress but carry a different colored bouquet? For example, say you do pick red and have yellow as an accent color. Have the BM's wear red and have red and yellow gerbera daisies and then your MOH carry yellow daisies alone. It will help distinguish her but keep the pictures ';uniform';. Best of luck!Would these bouquets %26amp; wedding dresses go together nicely?
    sure...its nice
    The first wedding dress. The second bridesmaid dress.

    Love the centerpiece.
    The first wedding dress is beautiful. You should go with the yellow brisemaid dresses (it's more summery) and put a red sash on your maid of honor. Or put her in red. The centerpieces are very nice.
    How beautiful!



    I love the second wedding dress. I'm not crazy about the bridesmaid dress, but if I chose a color it would be the pale yellow, especially for a beach wedding. I love the little foot jewelry, but you wouldn't really need it. Best of luck on your special day!
    First wedding dress

    Red bridesmaid dress

    To distinguish your MOH, I would do the opposite flowers. Red roses and yellow Gerber's.

    Your bouquet, while really pretty, doesn't match anything else. You should do white Gerber's and roses.

    Centerpieces are pretty!
    first wedding dress and the 2nd bridesmaid dress would be beautiful she have a different bouquet the rest of the stuff is beautiful
    I like the first dress better with the bouquet,

    as well as the barefoot sandals.

    [which are awesome, by the way!]



    I think the yellow would be better for the bridesmaids

    because it's lighter. You're on a beach.

    Red is very dark. Keep it light.



    As for the maid of honor,

    you can either go for a completely different dress

    http://www.edressmeprom.com/goldpromdres

    or you can add some fabric to the dress, like a sash.



    Congrats! [o:
    The first wedding dress definitely gives off a more beachy feel to me and I think the barefoot sandals (fabulous idea!!!) will go better with the first dress. I think you may want to make sure those colors go well with all your bridesmaids because I know I personally look sick in yellow...they may not mind but it's up to you. I love both the colors but if everyone looks good in yellow, I would leave the red as maybe a sash or just the accent to the flowers and decorations.



    Hope this helps...it'll look great no matter what you choose!
    The first wedding dress and BM dress. I don't see anything that screams Spanish Flair to me though with any of these items.



    What you have chosen though, however, is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! Good luck!
    The first wedding dress is better suited for the beach.



    The first bridesmaids dress because I think the yellow will go great with the bouquet!



    I've always seen MOH have a different bouquet or a bigger one. But I think it would be neat to get her a different dress in the same color or the same dress but in a different color!
    You mentioned 'spanish flair' - I would recommend doing florals in your hair to help the theme...you could also have a spanish bridal fan accented with orchids..see the florist.

    best wishes!
    The first wedding dress is beautiful.

    The red bridesmaid dress is beautiful as well.



    I love your bouquet and all of your other ideas sounds like a great wedding to be at.
    I love it all..I would go with the maggie gown, I think the bouquet you picked would look nice with the lines of the gown, where it has the v neck. and definetly the red BM dresses, since you want to make a statement!
    I think the orchid bouquet will offset that maggie dress nicely. it's sort of goes with the beading that goes down the back of the dress. and those barefoot sandals are totally sexy. and your hair should be down, like you said. if you're doing red flowers in the bouquets I would go with the nude color dresses but in person, is it a good color they can wear again? I think the red dresses are more likely to get a second chance and not end up at the back of their closets. have the maids in red and the MOH in the same dress in the beige color.

    How attentive are you to fashion and style when dressing?

    Pick a number, state your sex and elaborate a little



    1- not at all, 'slong as I am covered and comfy

    2- slightly, to important occasions, I make sure that I'm presentable and that my clothes are adequate

    3- quite a bit. I dress to impress mostly and I try to stay in style when I dress everyday

    4- manic. I have to be in style and up to date with the latest fashions. Anything that is not ';in'; is out of my wardrobe.How attentive are you to fashion and style when dressing?
    between 1 %26amp; 2.....female.......I dress for myself, not others, I don't really care what others think as long as I like how I look I am happyHow attentive are you to fashion and style when dressing?
    3. i'm a girl, obviously. i never want to look too trendy, because it wont stay in style. i make sure i dont wear a brown shirt and carry a black bag, i try to keep my jewelry the same metal, and have it match the metal on my purse. like gold jewelry, gold decal on whatever else i have. i also try to make sure if i'm wearing a black shirt and black pants that the black matches.



    it sounds crazy but i usually get compliments from people on how i am always presentable
    I'm a 19 year old guy. I work a professional job (Button up shirt, slacks, belt, dress shoes, etc).



    It depends. If I'm bumming around the house, whatever is comfortable.



    If I'm going outside, I put a little thought into it, but not an insane amount.



    If I'm going to work or a social function, I usually spend about 45 minutes to an hour picking out what I'm going to wear, do my hair, etc.
    3, female, ummm i wear what i think looks good.. and what i think other people will like. i dont necessarily wear what half the other population of highschool students wears though.. i have my own taste. im a fannnnn of urban outfitters, scene hair, that sorta shiiittttt.
    3- female, the only exception is i dont dress in the ';in'; styles i dress how i want to dress but i make sure i look awesome and everything matches

    At proms I've been to, girls have worn lots of different styles.

    The shorter teacup type dress was really popular at my school last year. Also the big poofy princess dress (lol).

    Mine was long %26amp; straight %26amp; I got lots of compliments. Just buy a dress that compliments your shape and makes you look and feel good!



    As for hair.. just look through some magazines/websites for a hairstyle that you like.



    Keep the makeup pretty natural %26amp; make sure your eyes pop!



    Last year I spent all day getting ready lol. I had fake eyelashes %26amp; got my nails done %26amp; sprinkled some shimmery powder on my shoulders. It took a while to get the eyelashes to look good, but they helped my eyes stand out.



    Just make sure you like how you look, don't stress out - it's just prom! Have FUN!Never been to prom before, its my senior year..?

    Has anyone ever bought a bridesmaid dress from JCREW? I wanted to know the quality of these dresses from....?

    someone who has bought one before. How's the material/the fit? Do they really look as nice in person as they do in their catalogue? Any really bad experiences? Any really GOOD experiences with any particular style of dress (I mean - would you reccomend a specific style dress)? If so, please give me the name/style of the dress. Do their dresses usually run small or large? I would think they run small...bc of experiences I have had with their clothes, but I dont know, thank you!!!Has anyone ever bought a bridesmaid dress from JCREW? I wanted to know the quality of these dresses from....?
    I haven't bought a wedding dress from JCREW, but I have purchased their regular clothes and I usually have to buy a size up.



    You will probably have to expect that the material will be of good quality, but the type of material will probably be different than if you buy a dress from a bridal shop. These dresses will be more sheath-like, probably thinner and lighter.Has anyone ever bought a bridesmaid dress from JCREW? I wanted to know the quality of these dresses from....?
    I just got my bridesmaid dresses,strapless embossed beach it's nice because they can wear it again,their sizes are very true to size. I wear a 6 and I tried on a 6 and it fit. The hip area in those tea length dresses is very wide so the same size 6 fit all of my bridesmaids so that's crazy!

    (I think they almost all ordered a size up from their normal!)
    No. One thing you could investigate, though, is who their suppliers are.

    Dark wash, straight leg or wide leg jeans. Nothing that's tight around your thigh and flares out. Anything like skinny jeans that narrows at the ankles will make your thighs/butt/body look bigger in comparison to the rest of you.Best jeans for thick legs and big but?
    juicy tracksuit...............they hide everything

    How should my bridesmaids wear their hair?

    I am the bride and am thinking of wearing my hair half up half down or possibly up. My bridesmaids dresses are halter, is there a way to wear your hair that goes well with a halter style dress? If i wear my hair down should they wear theirs down so they don't look similar to me lol, suggestions please :)How should my bridesmaids wear their hair?
    I'm having my hair half up and half down (my dress is floor length and a halter).



    My BM dresses are knee length and halter as well, there hair will be all up! I don't care how its styled I just requested all their hair be up and none of them had a problem!



    haha, this way they match me, but not really!



    =DHow should my bridesmaids wear their hair?
    I am letting my bm choose how they want to wear their hair. picking out their hairstlye may make it seem like something thats not them and you want them to be comfortable and have a say in something for the day.
    I would let them choose. Hairstyles can be very personal, some may not be comfortable with their hair all the way or half way up or all the way down! No matter what their hair style is, it will not take away from you as the bride, and it will let them be comfortable!
    I think that they should have a style that suits them. I mean it depends what their hair is like and the shape of their faces - not just what they are wearing. This is what I had done for my bridesmaids (who wore halter dresses) if you would like to get some ideas...

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/25906286@N0

    I think that style would work quite well if you have your hair half up half down - it keeps the hair off their face but not as formal as an up do.
    personally i would let them wear it the way they want because if their not comfortable then it well show, but if you insist i would say up
    Let them wear it however they want. If you are going to dictate a style, be prepared to pay for everyone's hair.
    Halters usually look better with an updo.



    That being said, updos are more expensive. If you think that they will have a problem with the updo fee, then let them do what they want. If you think they won't mind at all, then ask. It really depends on their personalities. People are very different and I would have no way of knowing how they would feel.
    how ever you want them to wear it. Its your day do what you want
    However they want! Honestly, I think brides that tell their bridesmaids how to wear their hair are bridezillas.
    However they normally wear their hair when they go out. They will look ridiculous all with the same hairstyle. It won't look natural on most of them. I had a friend (who claimed not to be a bridezilla, but was totally one) anyway she tried to get her bridesmaids to have the same style and they revolted the morning of the wedding and ended up with something completely different from what she wanted because what she wanted was terrible.
    They should wear their hair however they want. Many people don't feel comfortable with their hair a certain way or because of their hair texture, style or length it looks better a certain way. Don't be too controlling.
    Let your girls pick out their own hair, unless you're a everything-has-to-match kind of bride. I'm letting mine do whatever they'd like. That way they'll look nice too, and be comfortable.
    With a strapless, I would say a low, loose bun, right on the nape of the neck. That way, people can still see your back and your hair will look classy, but not overly formal!
    what about a messy bun?

    but not too messy...

    i think that always looks nice :)

    I have no fashion sense whatsoever. My platonic female friend does. I am recently changing my ways in life and wanted to know how to dress a little better. my male friends dress like I use to so I dont want to go there.

    She said she would love ot go shopping with me to show me how to improve my dress style . My question is that would a guy be less manly in your eyes if he asked you to help him shop for better clothes ? I guess bringing you along for a female's opinionLadies If a guy you knew asked you to help him shop for clothes do you think any less of him?
    no! i think its fun and cute at the same time were men asked about fashio. hehe. its very rare for men to asked about this kind of stuff..but if i were to be ask for some advice..then i would be overwhelmed and appreciate the guts he have. lolLadies If a guy you knew asked you to help him shop for clothes do you think any less of him?
    No, I love shopping, no matter for whom. And everyone knows a lot of guys need a hand with such things.
    Nope. Absolutely not. I love to help my platonic guy friend shop for clothes. It's fun to 'dress him up'. Lol.



    Not less manly at all! In fact, I would actually admire him for ignoring his pride and asking me because he wants to look presentable.
    no i would toatlly luv it... not only are u saying that u need her help but u are also complementing her sense of style by saying u want to have a good as style as her
    THATS MEAN HE JUST WANT TO LOOK GOOD FOR HIS GIRL!!!!
    NO WAY BUDDY!!! take her with you!



    shopping has always been ';female'; department, so if anything you are sticking with the male stereotype.



    dont worry, i drag my boyfriend to the store too.



    Besides, its nice to ask someone for help, and nice to be able to help someone.



    :)
    i wouldn't it would be FUN!
    I'd enjoy it, and actually think more of him.
    No, it just means that he apparently values your style and opinion, be glad.
    it shows that you are MORE of a man because you have asked for assistance.
    If I didn't care about the guy, I'd go shopping with him. But don't let her dress you like a girly-man.
    No way... I wouldnt think less of him at all!!! Id be greatful for the opportunity to help him out! My best friend Roy cant shop for himself AT ALL!!! And every few months he asks me to go shopping in exchange for lunch, so I go with him and help him pick out stuff... Its really fun and I get free lunch. I wouldnt worry about it at all! Good luck
    There is nothing wrong with that at all. I am a female and am not that great at picking out nice outfits but that's what friends are for!
    Absolutely not less manly!!! Wow, men really don't know women. I think it's great you asked your girl - friend to help you. That in itself is manly.
    No, if a guy asked me for help with shopping for clothes, I would jump at the chance and wouldn't think any less of him and make it fun. It's not showing weakness, it's showing strength for what what you want to do, which is to better your style. Good Luck!~!
    I have helped several of my male friends shop for clothes. I was flattered that they asked me for help. I certainly did not think any less of them for it. We had a good time together.

    In fact I think I thought more of them because they were wanting to better themselves.
    no i dont think so its pretty co0l
    no!! actually i think more of him
    u r on right track

    How should I dress? Or what style best suits me? Read on to know more about me, and help me pick a style?

    I'm 26, male, 6'2, 210 (muscular). I don't work a white collar job (so suits and stuff are out) and I live in the inner city. I am a latino male.



    Obviously the two styles that would suit me which I have incorporated in the past are either hip hop (early 90s till most recent) which I do not like since I grew out of it ( no offence), I can however dig some of that kanye or common ';urban preppy style'; ( I don't know what its called) The other alternative would be the spanish pretty boy slacks, shoes, colorful shirt (read ricky martin) look, which I used in my latin salsa dancing club days (coming to a close..hehe). The new style that is being incorporated in my neighborhood (nyc) is the reggaeton style thing (its kind of hip hop with a spanish twist--the clothes that is). I'm still kinda young, but not as young as I used to be and I wanna start phasing out that era of my life. I don't wanna be 37 dressing like a teenager.



    So what do you think? What style should I use? thanksHow should I dress? Or what style best suits me? Read on to know more about me, and help me pick a style?
    No one can go wrong with this look: polished, urban prep.



    (aka Kanye West, but avoid the super large sunglasses and blinding chains around his neck).



    To get the look:



    1. Comfortable bootcut jeans in a semi-dark color



    The best color is darker than stonewashed, but not a rinse color. Whiskering and fading at the thighs helps the jeans look modern and more expensive, but avoid the kind of whiskering that's very obvious, and the excessive fading that makes your knees look white.



    A traditional bootcut ends up being too tight on thicker men, and look awkward on tall slim men. Gap carries a style called “relaxed bootcut” that I have seen look great on tall men, short men, stocky men and slight men. It has the stylish cut, but the room in the thighs and rear so that they don’t look too cowboy or too hipster.



    2. A v-neck sweater in black, ivory, and a deep vibrant colour that you look good in like a ruby red, or sapphire blue. Also, you'll need a crew-neck sweater in a black or a dark grey (whatever your v-neck doesn't have), to have a bit of neckline variety.



    A lightweight black sweater can look refined, elegant and even dressy. With a collared shirt and suiting trousers a man is ready for a party or dinner out. With a white tee and jeans or khakis, one is ready for a trip to mall or a business-casual office. The lightweight merino wool dresses up nicely and doesn’t get lumpy over collared shirts.



    3. I know you said no white collar anything, but even blue collar guys can still wear stuff like that...



    If you're up for it, try a white, button-up oxford shirt (doesn't have to be stiff, just go for a casual, washed, rumpled style, like what J.Crew has for guys), and wear it casually over graphic/printed t-shirts with those jeans I mentioned above. OR, even under your v-neck sweater that you're going to run out and buy right now.



    I beg you to try it, but I can't force you so...... at least look at the pin-striped oxford button up t-shirts as an alternative to plain white.



    At the very least, buy the graphic printed t-shirts that make it look more urban. Look for paint-splotch t-shirts, or industrial looking dark faded patterns and designs to wear casually over the jeans, or under your sport jacket.



    Sport jacket you say? What the hell is this?



    4. Sport Jacket.



    It looks like a blazer, but is a more casual material like a dark blue or black denim, dark chocolate brown or black corduroy, etc.



    It will spiff and dress up any wardrobe you own, when you go out on a date (and when you wear your v-neck sweater with that button up oxford under it), or can be dressed down when you wear it over your printed graphic shirts and jeans, and add that extra bit of polish. I dressed up a guy friend in a sport coat over a plain white shirt and jeans, and girls couldn't stop staring at him. But don't take it too far, or heaven forbid, you'll end up in super tight jeans and pointy cowboy boots and look too hipster for your own good.



    I think I've covered the basics for guys.. who are a lot easier to dress than girls.



    5. To top it off, wear an urban sneaker (no, not Nikes..) but something that looks like an old-style, Euro sneaker. This will keep the look casual, not too fancy (like if you were to wear slip on loafers), and are comfortable.

    How about starting something different?

    Start a trend.



    The sexiest thing for guys to do...go back to the 50s! Trust me, this style is making a huge comeback.



    Tips

    www.daddyos.com
    Don't worry abou what's going on around you. Pick clothes that you're comfortable in, in colors that flatter your skin tone, and are cut to accentuate your body type.
    maybe a little baggy pants, NO sweaters, ummmm.....T-shirts, not to dressy, ummm.. striped collar shirts. hope it helps!
    This will never go out of style. A button up shirt with a T- shirt underneath or Polos or Graphic Tees and some jeans and sneakers or shoes. My fave men's store is Century 21, Gap, Oldnavy and Kohl's... Footaction for sneaks.

    How soon should I?

    I am about to get married and i am so confused over the time scale of everything. I mean...when should i choose my dress style? when should i get fitted? when should i book the reception hall? when should i book the flowers? when should i choose/fit my bridesmaids? what do i do if i want to get married in a garden? when should i order all the food/drink? when should we sort all the suits out? when should i do all the invites? when should i get the stationary sorted? when should i do the seating plan? there is so much i haven't even covered everything. I NEED help with this...i DO NOT want to mess this up!How soon should I?
    Dress Style = 6-8 months before wedding

    Dress Fittings = 2-3 months before

    Reception Hall = at least 1 year depending on location and availability

    Flowers = 6 months

    Bridesmaids = Choose now/Fit 2 months before

    Order food and drinks = 4 months before

    Suits/Tuxedos = 2 months before

    Invitations = choose/Proofread/Print=3 months before mail = 6-7 weeks before wedding

    Seating plan = 4-5 weeeks before (as you get the RSVPs back)



    Now if you want a garden wedding you may want to check the weather reports of previous years whereever you're getting married, is it rainy season or windy season. Look for a location you want and always make sure you have tents rented just in case you need to use them.How soon should I?
    about to get married and you haven't done of that yet? Do it all now, can't be too soon.....
    I was just like you but I found the perfect site...theknot.com....itll help with everything...go there
    You should check out www.theknot.com. Sign up and enter your anticipated wedding date and they have a checklist of what you should do by when.



    Best of luck!
    oh honey, you ve got lots of work to get done, its gonna be so busy, ohh men
    Here's a link that has all sorts of wedding checklists on it. Hopefully this should help.

    http://www.theknot.com/keywords/sc_156_5



    Here's a 12 month breakdown of what to do when

    http://www.theknot.com/ch_article.html?O
    I would at least have things ordered in advance so you will know what you have and don't have like maybe 3 months in advance as far as the food i would make sure it's ordered and ready for that day about a month a head incase you need to order more and it's ready by the time you need it. as as far as the invites maybe a month to 2 months a head so all those people your inviteing will know and not have plans. As far as were to get married thats something you need to figure out on your own a garden wedding would be nice and very pretty as well. if your planing on getting married soon then you need to be decideing your bridesmaids now. give your self time and if it's going to be a soon wedding then I would be getting on the ball of things .. WISH you luck.
    You want to book the site about 6 months in advance, especially if it's a popular place. Pick out the dresses now, but you don't have to actually order them until about 8-12 weeks before the wedding. You don't want a fitting until about 2-3 weeks before the wedding, incase you lose/gain weight, and the same for your bridesmaids. The suits I'd say order about the same time as the dresses. The flowers you can wait til closer to the wedding, maybe a month or two in advance. The invites you want to send out about 2 months before the wedding so out of town guests can make plans to come down (take time off of work and whatnot). You should have the seating plan finished a few days before the wedding (since you won't know for sure who's going to come until you get all the RSVP cards back). That's just what I think. But if you go to http://www.theknot.com and sign up they have a little checklist for everything you need to do. You just put in the date, and then it gives you a month by month checklist. I hope this helps you out a little!
    Buy some bridal magazines they all have time tables in them. Also it depends on where you live. On the East Coast you have to book some venues 2 years in advance, heck some of the university chapels are booked 5 years in advance. I'm sure you won't have that problem. Take a deep breath this is easy. I've done it three times now - my wedding, my brother's wedding and my vow renewal. I never used a wedding planner but it might be a good idea for you if you're getting really stressed.
    Calm down....first how long is your engagement?? If you have a long time to plan, take your time. Start emailing reception sites...get some basic info on them and then meet with them and pick your site...same with your photographer....start early just geting info. I found that once the big stuff was outta the way I was a lot less stressed. I think they say to order your dress about six months out, but again start looking early. The sooner you get some stuff done the better. Bridesmaids shouldn't be that hard....when you have a date set then ask them. I know i've seen it on here a dozen times, but theknot.com really does have some excellent tips as far as timing and when to do what.



    Good Luck and Congratulations.....relax it will all be fine :)

    People raised by gay parents, how do you feel your life turned out and why? What are your pros and/or cons?

    Also, I have more questions below, but please don't take offense to this, I'm just an outsider to this community trying to learn. I'm sincerely not trying to be offensive in any way.



    1) For the guys, have you had successful sexual/loving relationships with women?



    2) For the girls, have you had successful sexual/loving relationships with men?



    3) Are any of you gay/les/bi, or sexually confused? Do you feel your parents effected this or not?



    4) Do you feel you were raised well enough to understand the world and how to survive in it?



    5) Were your parents fair with gender while raising you? I ask this one because I wonder if some lesbian couples get their daughters to treat men unequally, or are they fair, %26amp; do the gay male parents teach enough about women so that their kids aren't biased?



    6) Did your parents try to talk you into fitting the opposite genders dress style, actions, etc, as a way to show you it;s okay to be either or?



    Just questions from a nosey person.People raised by gay parents, how do you feel your life turned out and why? What are your pros and/or cons?
    i had a friend with a lesbian mom and he turned out very straight and a really nice guy. His mom taught him to be a decent person -- which is much better than being a jerk. I think more people need lesbian moms.



    I guess he is kind of walked on but it doesn't seem to bother him much -- no use fighting for the sake of fighting. when i said more poeple need lesbian moms i guess i should have not been so general -- just most people have pyscho parents that are completely self obsessed with their jobs and money and themselves and give no time to their kids and his mom was always there for him. good parenting skills aren't dictated by who you are attracted to. For the most part i think it takes a village to raise a child and most kids don't even have one decent parent --People raised by gay parents, how do you feel your life turned out and why? What are your pros and/or cons?

    I don't actually think you can find a person raised by a gay couple that is in his/her teenage or older, most of them are still just kids...so maybe you'll not have accurate answers to that question.

    Personally i think a person raised that way will have a lot of conflicts and will be kind of confused about relationships with the opposite sex and other stuff...but that's only my opinion.
    kinda loading a gun here aint ya?



    you really have no clue about gay people have you?



    i was raised by straight parents, shouldnt that of made me straight?
    yawns....
    Hey.. i'm a lesbian, kudo's to you for asking such a question. It seems like you really are sincerely wondering how things go on with LGBT relationships and families.



    Well, to tell you the truth it isnt much different from the heterosexual ones. For instance if you reversed your question and directed it at heterosexuals... the answers you get there would sum up to wut would happen in our relationships and families as well.



    FYI, I was raised by staright parents, My older brother is straight as can be, My second brother is a transvetite, I am a lesbian, and my younger sister is in a very happy heterosexual marriage. So, i really dont think your parents sexuality derive's your's. Parents however have an influence on the kind of person you are... not totally but to a certain effect.... mind you, we become whoever we want to in time no matter how much our parents mould us or not.



    Thanks for trying to get to know us. If i have hurt you in any way, i'm sorry i didnt intend to.

  • How do I get my mind right when I'm in a bar so I can compete with taller men or just get over it?

    I'm about five foot six inches - pretty short for a guy. I consider myself however to have good dressing style and a cute face (I've been told so on many occasions), and for my size I got a nice body, however I'm short. The problem is at bars, I don't even really feel like getting off the stools and going to other groups and meeting people cause I feel so short. I'd like to get over this, and feel attractive at the same time (which is how I feel when the place ain't so packed. I wanna walk freely and talk to whoever, yet feel I am constantly being judged and compared. I wanna get this out my head, and I know its possible cause I've seen other short dudes who just don't care and go wherever. Like what kind of mind state, what do I tell myself, waht should I learn to believe so I can just mingle like I wanna? Sorry for makin this so long, but your opinions really countHow do I get my mind right when I'm in a bar so I can compete with taller men or just get over it?
    Don't worry about it, she's out there!



    But just a bit of advice, you won't find the right one at the bar most likely.How do I get my mind right when I'm in a bar so I can compete with taller men or just get over it?
    Don't compete. Be secure in yourself and you will win every heart! Height doesn't matter, it's kindness, character and personality that will win the day!
    Self-confidence is very sexy no matter how tall you are. You have to realize that height might matter to some women, but not to all. You need to be happy with yourself and I do mean truly happy and confident. When you are with a man who is confident, you don't even notice flaws in him. My bf is the opposite, he 6' 6'; tall and really ';stands out'; in a crowd. He was a bit shy when I first met him because he felt that people were juding him like you feel the same way. Just be yourself and don't worry about it, no one else really cares how tall you are!!
    It's called The Napolean Syndrome.. Just start acting like your'e the President.. Or you you saved someones life or something. I guess ego is everything!
    well first of all let your hair grow so you can spike it,it will make you look a bit taller,and then maybe you could get a different pair of shoes with thicker soles.
    Look, friend.

    I'm short too, but like you, I have a nice body and nice face. I've been told I'm cute a hundred times over. There is no problem with women about a short guy, really, trust me.

    First, learn to accept yourself and know that being short is way cool. Do you know some tall guys also have a complex about being tall?

    Some others have a complex about their nose so on and so forth.

    Women pick up on an intuitive basis the guys who have complexes and the mean women like to tease those guys, maybe you've been so teased?

    Once you learn to accept yourself the way you are, no tease will be mean, they will be funny and when you genuinely laugh at those things, women admire you for it.
    Stop focusing on your height so much. Women will pick up on your insecurities before they even notice your height. Everyone has their preferences even you. There are going to be women in the bar that are more attracted to the taller stature individual, if they are there... then don't go for those women. Play up all of your positives; make your personality more positive, and no matter how tall you are ';everyone'; is going to want to be around you.
    If she brings up your height, just tell her, ';babe, when your on your back, my height will be the last thing on your mind!';

    Mormon moms: appropriate toddler boy attire?

    I'm curious about how Mormon moms dress their toddler boys for church.



    I see little girls in nursery that have a variety of dress styles: some very casual and some very frilly. Is it expected to dress boys (nursery age) in a white button down shirt, or any button down shirt for that matter, or is a nice polo shirt (with dress pants) okay?Mormon moms: appropriate toddler boy attire?
    There isn't really a dress code. Little girls tend to wear frilly dresses because little girls have horrible taste and like that sort of thing (let's just be glad that dresses don't often come with glitter or unicorns, because I'm sure that's what we'd be seeing at church otherwise). Some of those little girls just have smarter mothers who refuse to cater to that and insist that they wear normal dresses (my mother is a failure in this department--you should see the dresses my little sister wears to church...So. Much. Lace! It hurts my eyes).



    As for little boys...well, few of them seem to care about their clothing, so it all comes down to the mothers. My brothers just wore nicer shirts and slacks until their teen years. Some of the toddler boys I know wear vests, and some wear dress shirts and clip-on ties. One little boy comes in a full Armani suit, which never fails to amaze me. It really just depends on what their parents want, though.



    Still...nursery age children? I think any mother with a nursery aged child is just grateful if their child is wearing something free of stains. The way I see it, as long as we wear our best for the Lord, nothing else really matters.Mormon moms: appropriate toddler boy attire?
    Yeah, that sounds fine to me. I had three little brothers. Just cute little khaki pants or dark pants and some shirts with buttons and no logos or pictures.



    I love little kid church clothes. They're just so adorable. ^_^
    LOL @ my ward (we have a ton of little boys for some reason) they mostly wear a variety of shirts, both button down and polo, with or w/o vests and jackets - nice jeans or khakis, or dress pants.......mostly their moms are just glad if they get their kid back with a semblance of the clothes he started out in --- including the shoes.



    my fam usually gets those little shirts that look like button downs with a vest, but go on like a t-shirt for simplicity's sake.
    My son is 2 and he has a couple button down shirts, but they are casual. For the winter, they were long sleeved, for the summer we do short sleeved. He also wears polos. For pants, I like khakis or cords. That seems to be the norm. There was only 1 child in our biggest nursery that wore the shirt with attached vest and dark dress pants. Khakis and polos seems to work.
    Nice polo shirt with dress pants would be fine.
    I have put all kinds of different clothes on my son. When he was a toddler he wore polo type shirts to church. It's hard to find dress clothes for little boys, and hard to keep them clean! I found that simplicity was the best policy.
    Heh. When we used to take my nephews, we'd put them in a clean pair of pants that looked in good condition, and then a shirt with nothing on it if possible, one with a collar was even better.



    For a while though, we had this tiny little suit that one of my nephews wore when his mom married my brother (he was from an earlier marriage.) With a bowtie. It was for about a 3 year old. The boys sort of went through that, as long as we had it. :P A little overdressed, but it was too cute not to.



    My daughter wears casual type dresses to church because I worry about stains. If I was to take her cousin (9 months older) then I would just want him to wear something like a polo shirt and nice pants. Until they get older, there's no point from my point of view.
    OH NOW LAWDY FO U HAVE FO-SAKIN DA LAWD
    Stop teaching your kids all that mormon stuff.

    How would you lay this out ...?

    I'm in charge of making the Prom Pullout section for my school newspaper (2 pages) and Im having some trouble thinking of ideas on how to lay it out...



    The main story will be ';top dress styles.'; i have 6 pictures of girls in dresses with about 5 sentences for each. i laid them out next to each other with the text underneath and it looks so boring!



    anyone have some ideas for how to lay out this part

    and any suggestions that i can use for other things?How would you lay this out ...?
    Get a stack of magazines at the library and look at how they lay out pages of photos and information. Concentrate on weeklies (Entertainment Weekly, People, etc.) that feature best/worst lists of celeb fashion at award shows. Photocopy the ones that you think will work for your newspaper and use that as a template.



    Good luck!How would you lay this out ...?
    try 2 put the text over the pics. u kno, make the pics a bakground

    How can a bride be an Anti-Bridezilla?

    I'm a bride to be, trying to keep my Matron of Honor, my Bridesmaid, and my two stepdaughters in mind with my decisions for my wedding. I am NOT paying for their dresses/shoes/etc (I can't afford it, sorry)...but I've just given them a color at David's Bridal and I'm having them each choose whatever dress style they want in the same color. This way they can be comfortable in their dresses, and choose something that flatters their different body shapes.





    They are going to all wear white shoes in whatever style they like...they can buy the shoes wherever they want, so they can have shoes to wear again in the future.





    I'm trying to have fun with this...the wedding isnt so Serious and if something goes wrong, so what? As long as I'm there, the JP is there and my fiance is there, everything will be fine.





    I'm looking for other ideas to make it more a pleasure than a chore, to be part of my wedding party. What do you consider an ';Anti-Bridezilla';?How can a bride be an Anti-Bridezilla?
    The way your handling your bridesmaids is exactly the way I'm doing it and it was what I was going to suggest. I don't understand how brides can sometimes be so demanding of their friends and family. I'm sure you already have this covered, but also let them decide how they will wear their hair. I've seen cases where brides want everyone to wear their hair in a certain style of up do! How ridiculous. There is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable in a dress or hair do ESPECIALLY when you have to get up and stand in front of a bunch of people you don't know.





    Also, I might add sometimes brides are terribly mean to their mothers. I know moms can be a little crazy about their daughters weddings (i know mine is!) but we ought to cut them some slack. As much as you have been dreaming about your wedding since you were a little girl, your mother has been dreaming about it too. It's not just ';your day';. It's for you parents and close family too, otherwise why would you want them to be there? That doesn't mean you have to cave on important issues just because your family wants something or doesn't want something, we should just be a little more considerate of their thoughts.





    Good luck and best wishes my fellow anti-bridezillas!How can a bride be an Anti-Bridezilla?
    Just treat all as you would like to be treated cheers an good luck!

    While I disagree it is anyone's day but your fiance and you, I also was very focused on not straining my bridesmaids. I did many of the things you did, and treated them to hairdos (their choice) on the wedding day. I wanted to make sure their best wishes for my day didn't mean their discomfort.

    I'm getting married in less than a month so I understand where you are coming from. I also did not pay for my wedding party's attire. I also disagree about it being your family's day. It is all about you and your fiance and it is your special day. I think you are off to a great start. Good luck!!

    My husband and I had our wedding at my parent's house. We only invited close friends and relatives. We had zero stress and it was so fun. We have close friends that married each other and the bride was so worried about perfection that she wasn't able to enjoy herself.

    Report Abuse



    my husband and i got married 1.5 yrs ago. we did it in a park with only 4 people in the wedding party, the other 4 were guest. i told them we were wearing blue and white. it was small and enjoyable for all. but i invited all the family to the reception. all together under $1000. no stress, no mess

    It sounds like you're off to a great start...just remember it's a day of celebration and that the people surrounding you are there to love and support you.
    i know you cant afford their dresses, but maybe take them out to lunch to sit and just discuss how the wedding plans are going. it doesnt have to be an expensive place, but i think they would appreciate it.


    %26lt;3
    You're on the right track! Don't make demands of everyone and keep on considering them in decisions that need to be made. Yes, it's your day, but that doesn't give any bride the right to be, frankly, a *****. When it comes time for dress fittings, make a party out of it. Have lunch with the group that day.





    It's great that you have the attitude that if something goes wrong, so what! Things can go wrong. How you respond to issues that come up makes a difference to everyone concerned.





    Good luck to you!
    It's hard to keep everyone happy, but at least you have taken into account that people may not all feel comfortable in the same dresses. I'm also of the mind that no matter how much planning you do, something can always go wrong, and there is little point in stressing too much about it (even though we all want the perfect day) I say you're doing fine, keeping it chilled out and not getting yourself all panicky about everything.
    I think a gal becomes a bridezilla when she obsesses and becomes demanding about the tiniest little issue...she makes a thing over the hairstyle others will wear, their clothing choices...I've even heard of brides requiring the bridal party to all wear certain fragrances! Don't get caught up in the minute detail, enjoy the overall picture, and I'm sure nobody will think you're a bridezilla!
    Sounds like there is no way you are one. A true Bridezilla doesn't care. Kind of a dictator if you will.
    That's great that they're allowed to pick their own dresses. I was a MOH a while back and was allowed to pick my own dress as well - even the colour. (She couldn't make up her mind on colours and said whatever dress I pick would be the colour of her wedding. Haha.) Sounds like you're off to a great start!





    But watch out that you aren't *too* accomodating. Sure, you don't want to be bitchy about stuff, but you don't want to turn into a ';yes woman'; to please everyone around you. Make sure you say no sometimes and do what you want to do!
    I'm going about it the same way as you! You're doing just fine. I also let my bridesmaid's pick out their dresses and shoes - paid for by them. As a bonus, I'm going to buy them their jewelry and clutch-bags as gifts. I told mine to wear their hair however they like - I don't know if you've done that yet. I can't think of much else you haven't been already saying - but I guess just remind them how honored you are to have them with you, and ask for their advice, and laugh with them, that means much, much more than anything!


    Some brides go nuts over every detail, I agree! You have a great attitude about it and it's nice to see someone else that feels the way I do! You're right - if something goes wrong, oh well! It may be something to look back and and laugh about. I just can't wait to say '; I do'; while looking into my fiancee's eyes!


    So have a happy, beautiful wedding and congratulations! Stay happy!
    Read this; I think you might enjoy it.


    The act of becoming a Bridezilla has gotten a name; a psychological disorder called, Acquired Situational Narcissism





    http://www.slate.com/id/2167299/?GT1=101鈥?/a>





    Sounds like you have everything in the right perspective. Good luck %26amp; congratulations!
    Professional Advice --- Since that Tv show came out so many brides are worried about their own attitudes. It is a great wake-up call to many people. But ultimately if you ahve watched one show after another you'll see that these Brides took NO consideration into how the people around them were treated. Constantly ask them what they think, dont be afraid to. The point of attendants is to have that back-up when you are unsure of what you should do. Not order them around like a drill sgt. If they think that something is too pricy and that they could something simliar for cheaper, go with them on that. They are not trying to be cheap, they are looking at ways to save you time and money, as well as themselves.
    just remember that its not all about you but its about you and your fiance coming together to get married which is a really special time what you can also do is do NOT get your expectations that high or you will blow!
    good idea.
    sounds like you are doing great to me... I have seen brides that make their bridesmaids go on a diet just to ';look better'; for the wedding and more crazy things. as long as you let them know you appreciate them I think you are fine

    How would I style this dress?

    http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?cat





    I tried it on and it looked great, I just dont know what to wear with it!How would I style this dress?
    I would say a few bangles, a necklace, and definitely earrings.How would I style this dress?
    try this:

    http://www.rue21.com/Merchandise.aspx?Ge

    Blue high heeled sandals..

    http://www.shoebuy.com/pi/camut/camut251

    hmm and maybe a scarff?
    arm band
    This is a super cute dress! A very fun print! Depending on the occassion, I wouldn't let colorful accessories over power it. Stick with black to make sure the dress stands out. A black clunky necklace (choker like, but not an actual choker) and matching bracelet. And some nice black kitten heels. If it's chilly, you could add a light shawl or wrap in some kind of dressier knit. OR...if you want to make a statement...no jewelry, and bright pink pumps to match the flowers in the print.
    pink peep toe heels, light pink flower ring/necklace %26amp; curls :D

    fricken cute dress btw
    A pear choker, and flats. (:
    I honestly see hoop earrings or kinda chunky ones at least, silver, with kinda of multilayered necklace and a few bracelets and if your the ring type a chunky ring with flip flops (can you tell I'm from FL, haha) or flats..
    If I were you, I would go with black flats and a chunky pink or light blue bracelet you can get at Target or Forever21 for a few dollars. I love the dress! It's super cute!!!



    Hope that helps!
    a cute cardigan that matches one of those colors on the dress and some cute bracelets
    black pointy heals and a black small hand bag
    oh that dress is gorgeous!



    I personally have these great black leathery pointy toed kitten heels that i would wear, and matching big black leathery button post earrings. they're like an inch in diameter.

    no necklace, and i'd wear hair up to show off my earrings and accentuate my neck, which i like.

    also, pink sheer stockings. or black ones would work, or whatever color that you like
    aww first of all very cute dress..its soo summer-ish..lol

    i think u should have this reallly thin material pink scarf around ur neck..like u know those really thin ones..n u should put mousse on ur hair n scrunch it..so that its a lil wavy..%26lt;%26lt;very cute n casual

    n then u should wear pink gladiator sandles..i think its gonna look very cute..

    o yes n also sum cute bracelets...
    highheels black or faded pink not a fan of heels use flats



    big faded pink bangle



    cuteness :)
    hmm.. i love that dress by the way. You could wear it with rounded or pointed toe stilettos, chunky black bracelets like the plastic kind that you can buy pretty much anywhere walmart, claire's in the mall, kohls, hot topic,,anywhere!! And maybe a nice necklace to go with it and if you want to a black or other colored clutch purse if you want to be super glamorous!
    You should wear black heels like these:

    http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?ca



    a clutch like this:

    http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?ca



    Golden bangels and a colourful necklace!

    hope i helped! (:



    Steph.
    cardigan -n- heels :) goody goody
    Black, blue, pink shoes? Flats, heels.

    Basically anything for jewelery.
    Wear black heels, a cute black purse, and curl your hair.
    How bout some regular black heels or sandles. and a big buckle on the waist because it looks a little bit empty there.



    *Best Answer* hehe %26lt;3
    thats a cute dress

    black handbag or clutch

    high heels a light pink or another color that matches with the dress

    or sandals (depends what you are wearing it too)

    a necklace

    makeup-smokey eye

    i dont know if this helps but good luck!

    call a friend!
    Cute! I love forever 21!



    Since there is pattern you'll want to keep accessories fairly simple. I would do a few silver bangles on one arm and on the other do a big statement ring. Some simple earings too! About the shoes, I would do something open toe because it looks so cute and summery!

  • I want to make a dress?

    I have a skirt that I want to make into a dress. It's orrigionally a skirt to a two piece Indian-style dress. The style im looking to make it into is a strapless with a natural waist(on the hips, I dont know what thats called in dressmaking terms) and a full skirt (like if you twirl the skirt makes a small circle around you) The skirt is floor length, and when I hold it up to my shoulders where it would be as a dress it falls to my knees.



    How do I do this if it can be done, will it cost a lot, and will the length change? (It's a very big skirt, making a circle on the ground when I sit)I want to make a dress?
    Saying I want to make a dress is not a question.I want to make a dress?
    make one with red all red
    u mean ur skirt is ghagra choli kind as per indian terms .. the main beauty abt the skirt is it overflows in length.. so dont worry to make anything abt it .. coz u try to transform it with something else it generally becomes v bad .. i have 3 skirts of that kind ..

    Sorry the pic is so bad. It's a simple strapless dress with *kinda* iridescent contrasting purple/dark purple polka dots.

    How would you style it for holidays?

    Fashion forward answers please, no matchy matchy stuff, if you don't think purple is a holiday color then there's no need to answer :)How would you style this dress (pic) (10 points)?
    try a black waist belt, black ribbed tights and a black cropped cardigan. And black shoes. Then wear a purple necklace and/or earings. Make sure theres an equal amount of purple and black.

    The link for the pic wont work but thats what I would do.

    Men, how much do looks matter to you? Who would you rather be with?

    In my school, there was this average looking girl with good dressing style, was really popular, hung out with the popular crowd and had a lot of friends, outgoing, fun and did well in school. Some guys liked her.

    And there was this good looking girl who had long, soft hair and was very pretty, but was shy, was nice but awkward, and only had a few friends. But many popular guys liked her.



    Based on the description, who would you like and why?Men, how much do looks matter to you? Who would you rather be with?
    They both sound interesting enough to me.



    I don't see the difference on balance. One is prettier, but the other is more outgoing -- both are nice, so what's the problem?Men, how much do looks matter to you? Who would you rather be with?
    both and in the end any will do.
    the second girl





    there are a lot of uggly girls

    who are poular and make themselves pretty by having a nice body,nice clothes,nice hair.....nice personality
    i would like the shy girl. i guess its cause of the fact that the more popular girl has a lot of friends.
    that sounds alright

    How to get rid of the guilt feeling after breaking up with my EX?

    I and my GF broke up 3 months back. But today if i see her, she has changed herself. She looks very different and pretty. She has changed her dressing style and her looks. Its not that im not happy to see her like this. But i feel that she never enjoyed her life with me. And then i start feeling guilty, and i started making myself let down. I feel i never deserved that in my life. What can i do to get this feeling out of me?How to get rid of the guilt feeling after breaking up with my EX?
    I think that's her way of moving on,starting a new life,starting a new look..some people do that especially in girls,we divert our attention in our personality after break up.

    Dont feel guilty if you think you have not done wrong in your relationship,but if in some ways you think you did then try to learn from it.it will not just give you a good thing in your next relationship but will also help become a better person.How to get rid of the guilt feeling after breaking up with my EX?
    Well, maybe you still care for her, however it's natural for your ex to start looking reallly goood after the break up! However, im not compleatly clear on why u feel guilty....im assuming its because you didn't have complete closure with her at the time of the break up. Good luck!
    get over it and find some one else if possible
    Accept the lost!
    You have some self esteem issues..... why would you feel guilty because ';you did not deserve her in your life';???? SHE chose to stay with you...!!! For a few months or for years, I don't know, but no one compelled her to stay by your side, right? She was with you because she wanted to, for as long as she wanted to. Now if you really were a jerk and she was unhappy with you, that was still her choice to remain with you (I don't understand such choices but there are soooo many ppl who like to live that way.....). You don't know if she changed so much just to give you a lesson and for you to see what you're missing out on..... it doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't enjoy life before and now she does. Chill and relax, if she's happy now just be happy for her and move on with your own life, and be happy yourself. Whatever happened with her it's in the past and keeping it alive is not going to help you in any way........ good luck.
    You need to relize where you gone wrong during the relationship if you feel that way and make sure to learn from you mistakes.



    Every girlfriend to me i have learned things like what not to do and what to do.

    Teenagers: How do you dress? Brands/style?

    I'm just wondering....



    I used to be very casual and laid back, pretty much a cute hoodie from a ';preppy'; brand every day with jeans and boots but now I'm more unique....



    For example my daily outfit might consist of:



    -Skinny jeans

    -Fringe boots

    -Flats

    -Cute socks

    -Bow headband

    -Bird necklace

    -Long sleeved t-shirt

    -Cardigan

    -Scarf sometimes

    -Belt sometimes



    And I like shopping at Forever 21 and Target and Walmart and Wet Seal and I like some stuff from Hollister and Abercrombie....My favorite store is Forever 21. I like vintage and boho ish stuff. Also, I make my own jewelery sometimes.Teenagers: How do you dress? Brands/style?
    i dress the way everyone else is too afraid to... :P



    -salvation army, goodwill

    -marshalls, ross, tj maxx, nordstrom rack

    - nameless secondhand stores

    - estate sales

    - etcTeenagers: How do you dress? Brands/style?
    I dress scene
    Im like the darker prep. I like darker color more than all the bright ones. But I wear A.E, Hollister, and Abercrombie. I shop at Forever 21, Rue 21, and Sometimes Wet Seal. I usually wear corsets and skinnies. Sometimes flats mainly converse



    -WTF? Leena copied what I wrote?
    Most people would consider my daily outfit somewhat plain.



    What I wore to school Friday

    - T-shirt I bought from a place... Souvenir type.

    - Black jacket.

    - Jeans.

    - Suede gray Adidas.

    - Pinky ring, and ring on my middle finger, both worn on my left hand. [both silver]



    I don't really buy new clothes often. I don't really like shopping.
    I also LOVEE forever 21. Your wardrobe sounds rly nice (skinny jeans :D especially). I don't know what your price range is or what you have access to where you live but I love Guess, Smart Set, Jacob Connection, etc...... Open up to stores that look plain or wtv, you can usually find deals on tops that you can dress up with oversized belts or other accesories.



    Happy shopping!! :D
    Haha





    I have no style. Seriously, i wear converse and a gray fitted T and bootcut jeans. Thats an outfit, for ya..
    I just shop anywhere I can get what I want. I got my favourite blazer from Goodwill for 5 bucks. My style is kind of a cross between punk, shoegaze, and Gen-X 1992-1997. I don't wear jewelry and I don't wear hats. I wear blazers, cut up shirts or band t-shirts, skinnies, and vintage Doc Martens [traditional UK punk boots]
    welll; i go to any store, really,

    like,

    i loooove second hand stores. they've got neat stufff; but i also shop at like, AE, and Hollister, you know, all the label's.

    i wear a looot of skinny jeans. they fit me well; and i've got a variety of shoes. flats, converse, moccasins, you name it. (:
    On days that I just wanna go casual I'll wear:

    Skinny Jeans.

    Sweater

    Either uggs, sandles, or flats.



    On days I wanna look cute:

    Skinny jeans or shorts.

    A cute top from Forever 21 or Buffalo Exchange or Urban Outfitters.

    Flats are sandles.



    :D
    It really depends on the day, how I feel and where Im going.



    Usually I like wearing leggings or dark wash straight leg jeans and a cute top and possibly a cardigen. If Im feeling lazy Ill just wear a comfy t shirt or a hoodie. Since its winter I always wear my grey knitted Ugg boots, but in the summer I wear flats or sometimes flip flops.



    If Im dressing up for something I like wearing dresses though. Like last night, it was my moms birthday so we went out for dinner and I wore:



    - A grey knit dress with interesting sleeves

    - A thick black belt around my waist

    - Black tights

    - A long necklace with pink bobbles.



    And I brought a big grey cardigen incase it got cold in the restaurant.



    Usually I shop at Winners, but Ill buy something from any store as long as I think it looks cute :)
    I wear a lot of band shirts, Doc Martens, and torn jeans (not skinny jeans, by the way). As far as where I buy my clothes, I get a lot of things from secondhand shops and sales racks. I do not like spending lots of money on clothes.
    I normally just wear skinny jeans with a studded belt, converse, a band t-shirt and a zip up hoodie. Most of my clothes are darkish colors. I don't tend to wear jewelry but I always wear a studded dog collar type of thing, if that counts as jewelry.. I get most of my t-shirts and some hoodies at concerts. I like Champoin Sports (I only get hoodies there, its like a sports shop, I love Nike hoodies so I get them there), New Look and Pennys (Those are where I buy my jeans), Trip (They have super awesome hoodies), Schuh (They have all the converse I could ever want) You've probably never hear of any of these shops, thats okay.. They're all UK/IRL shops so naturally enough, you won't know them..



    Man, I'm bored.
    When I'm just hanging around home or going out (which is rare) I'll usually wear track pants, cargo pants or straight legged jeans as pants. As tops it's usually a loose fitting t-shirt and I love hoodies a lot - I'll wear ones that are two sizes to big for me just so I feel snug. I love to wear leather jackets, too. I rarely wear jewelery as it irks me. Shoes are usually dunlop volleys.



    If I dress up (which is again, rare) I'll either go for a halter top and skinny leg jeans with cute flats or shoes with a small heel, or I'll go 80s style (I love this) and wear either an off-shoulder top or a dress, leather jacket and converse. The latter option is my favourite, but I very (very) rarely wear it.
    A typical daily outfit:



    Skinny jeans

    Grey or white singlet, or a nice t shirt.

    Ballet flats

    Cardigan

    Various bracelets

    Scarves, especially patterned ones



    Brands i like:

    Mooks

    Sass %26amp; Bide

    Don't Ask Amanda

    American Apparel

    Wrangler

    Mink Pink

  • Married Ladies - Have you let yourself go since getting married? The way you dress? Your style? Your weight

    I have been married for almost three years and I am realizing that I look and feel totally different than I did three years ago. I have never been a glamour girl, but I used to try to keep up with the latest fashions. I would keep my hair done and I just cared about life in general. These past three years have been hard for me. I don't have the energy to go anywhere. I moved to another state, met my husband and we were married in five months. It has been a very rocky marriage I must say, but I think we will make it through the rough times real soon. I am very depressed with myself. All I do is go to work and come home. My husband, however, has a life. He and his friends do things together about once or twice a month. Because I don't know anyone here except relatives, I am always at home or at my brother's house (he moved here a couple of years ago). I feel like I am not attractive anymore and I don't know how to get a life. Anybody in this situation or have been?Married Ladies - Have you let yourself go since getting married? The way you dress? Your style? Your weight
    Get out there and meet some friends girl.....have some fun! You've lost confidence in yourself and fallen into a rut.



    You've gone through a lot of changes, which is stressful, and stress can lead to depression....which can cause low self-esteem, lack of energy and motivation.



    You can get your old self back! Just start making baby steps toward looking better...take time for yourself, fix up your hair, paint your toenails, buy a fashionable outfit, meet some new friends, and start thinking more positive.



    Stop feeling sorry for yourself, it only makes things harder. Start loving yourself again because you are an important, beautiful woman that has a lot to offer the world!



    Follow your husband's example and start living again....you can do it!Married Ladies - Have you let yourself go since getting married? The way you dress? Your style? Your weight
    i have

    all you need to do is take a day off work once

    then spend the day somewhere where there are a lot of people

    and while your there you might find a friend(s)

    and if you do hang out with them =)
    well i have always been the stay at home read a book type. i have been married twice and that didnt change. here lately i have been going out twice a week or so to go fishing or just out to window shop or what ever strikes my mood at the time. find a couple of women that you have things in common with and go have fun. you dont have to do the bar thing to have fun
    I've been married for a while. I haven't let myself go. It just takes more work. I always dress in the latest styles, and I feel sexier then ever. I felt like you did for a short time. I have 3 children, and I've been married for 10 years. Don't forget who you are, live ! Join a club or go to the gym, you'd probably find people with the same interests. Your marriage isn't going to get better with your depression. Good luck !
    I am divorced now, but the answer is yes. I was married 6 years, and slowly my appearance became a lower priority on my list. I think it is attributable to how much social activity you remain involved in and what sort of dress code required for your line of work. The less attention your husband gives to you when you look your best/worst also matters, however, it shouldn't. Dress the way you are most comfortable and happy.
    Not by choice. She is struggling to lose the weight, but it doesn't want to go
    There are so many things you could do for yourself to get a life. You could do a course in whatever, go to the gym and meet people, volunteer for whatever is going, join a club. You may also consider changing your job as you sound as though you are not interested in it if you don't take care of your appearance. If you can find what you like doing than you will feel better about yourself and your marriage. It may not be easy but it is worth the effect no matter how tired you are
    Glad to hear you quit the clubs and bars. Great for you!!!

    It is no life for a marriage. Smart move on your part!!

    Yes, i have been where you are at. Yes, you need self esteem and keeping yourself attractive certainly helps with that along with having a wise husband that tells you , you are beautiful to him . Good luck, God bless.

    Get your hair cut a different way, color it, lose some lbs. if needed, eat more properly to ensure energy, try to make some friends, attend a church,pray about it,do some volenteer work.
    Your name says ';Change Me Lord'; well ask God. We do change after getting married. It says in his Word that we must put away old things. It also says that a Man is won over by not by adornment of Jewelry or braiding of hair but by the actions or (something of that nature) of their wives. I too got married and don't know anyone where I live, not even family. I feel that when I made this decision to move to a far, far away place with my husband then things were really going to change. However, we need to pull out the old tricks we used while dating sometimes. I know they never forget them and probably miss them sometimes. I also know that self-esteem has to come from within first. I'm sure that a hot bath and new undergarments will assist, buy some lavender scents as this I feel uplifts me and I'm sure it will you as well. Please keep us posted.....God Bless sista'!!!!!

    How can I dress hip hop style without looking like a wigger?

    Like I don't want to wear oversized jerseys, etc. I want to have a slightly hip hop urban look, but not over doing it.



    How can I go about dressing with a hip hop flavor without looking like a wigger?



    I'm thinking more ';prep hop-ish';..How can I dress hip hop style without looking like a wigger?
    Combine Ralph Lauren and Sean John and you'll probably be close to what you are looking for. That would give a look of successful, modern, %26amp; urban.How can I dress hip hop style without looking like a wigger?
    it doesn't look right anyway........try a different look=)
    You can't. Try something else.
    Wear a geeky shirt, beige shorts, knee high socks, and a pair of sandals.
    WTF? I don't like the word ';wigger';. I don't think hip hop music has much to do with Black culture. Music is music, right? Hip hop is a style of music, not a label. Why don't you try being yourself? See how that works.
    sorry but there is no such thing as ';prep hop-ish'; you either got to dress preppy or like a wigger.....my suggestion don't try it if you can't come up with your own sense of style.
    uhm... WOW.

    anyways...



    try stores like urban outfitters.

    and karmaloop, too.

    if you dont have one locally, look at their sites to see what the guys are wearing!

    but i think i know what you mean.



    happy shopping!
    idk man, i think its pretty hard to dress hip hop without looking like a wigger. not that there is anything wrong with looking like a wigger.
    old school look....



    big black hoodie and bent caps good whit shoes all white ...

    and relax
    you can't. sorry.
    I think that Is so hott if a white guy dresses like that...look at John Cena and Paul Wall there some Hotties not to you of course since you sound straight but to me Dang I bet you would look cute...
    Kanye West kindof dresses like that.

    How do you tell a guy nicely, to back off?

    I am 19, in college, and chill being single. I wanted a guy, but the thing is, I am content to enjoy my life without the drama. Well fate decided to entervine and sent me a guy- be careful what you ask for- that I could never see myself with. I am not attracted to him. But he seems to be into me- he makes comments about me being funny, liking my dress style, and keep touching me. I hate that. Touching is personal, and he keeps grabbing my hand, touching my knee, mussing my hair (annoying!) and I can't stand it anymore. I don't want to hurt his feelings, I know where he is coming from, but he keeps inviting himself places, trying to sit next to me. I don't know what to do to make him understand, I cannot ever, ever be with him.How do you tell a guy nicely, to back off?
    Trust me, you'll hurt his feelings more if you don't just come right out and tell him you're not interested in him than if you let this continue.



    Just curious, if you don't mind me asking, why don't you like him? If you tell me, it will further my research. Please, be honest. If it's because he doesn't have the looks, then say so. If it's because he came on too strong, or whatever. The more I find out about these things the more I'll be able to help give advice.

    Since when did freedom of speech become saying what you want without consequence?

    Ok, some of white america is saying that Imus constitutional rights were violated. There was never a time that he could not say whatever he wants to say. When you are working at any job, there is a certain amount of professionalism.



    Some whites say that they would never start a campaign to get someone fired. That is nonsense. I have gone to a resturant and a young waiter had his shirt out along with a young white one. A white table called for management saying how unprofessional that it looked and only pointed out the young black man. We left him a $150.00 tip with a note that said be encouraged. I have been through it, when it was said that my pants suit was too brightly colored, and if I could not subdue my dress style that I need to work elsewhere. This was a client that had a real problem with camel toe. Some try to go after us all the time. We fight back. If people are so angry where is your picket signs, people should be shouting rehire Imus. I do not see that.Since when did freedom of speech become saying what you want without consequence?
    You said it perfectly. Imus' rights have not been violated. But he was insulting black women so that makes it not only Ok but a very good thing for many in the white community.Since when did freedom of speech become saying what you want without consequence?
    your question has nothing to do with freedom of speech.
    That was really good. You're right.
    Imus works for the folks that advertise for his show.



    Imus is very bright and funny.



    There was nothing funny about calling those young ladies ';nappy ho's';.



    advertisers withdrew support



    Imus was fired.



    I expect that he has enough money saved that he won't die of starvation.



    I've long believed that comedy is like baseball---if you can hit .333---get a good laugh out of one third of your lines---you can play in the big leagues. But....Imus broke the rules. He may catch on somewhere else, I suspect that after making apology rounds, kissing up to the Jacksons and Sharptons, he will get back on the air in some capacity.



    but that's not the point. There are some insults---when directed at one's OWN race and ethnicity, that are funny,



    Nappy ho's---not funny.



    Imus needs to be sent to his room. Don't know how long his time out will be---but---he deserves it. And---it won't kill him.
    Seems you enjoy the issue. Just wait a while soon you will laugh no more. Humans are getting sick of beastly whine.

    Equal with special privileges is about to end.
    give it up.
    I am black and what Imus said doesn't see like a big deal but our black leaders trying to make something out of nothing maybe they want their pocket full I don't know but I can say one thing they are making something small which he was saying something many of our black youth and men are saying about our women but they too need to put a stop on this in order that white or other race will not say black men say it and we have a right to say it to. No one have the right to disrespect anyone I hate to see other race say bad thing about theirs women ,white,spanish,etc... should not be done
    Freedom of speech, like all constitutional rights, go as far you can take them so long as you violate no one else's freedoms. Imus didn't violate anyone's freedoms. It is only a matter of fact that what he said is far less ';racist'; or ';racially insensitive'; than what most rappers and comedians say and never are fired for. Carlos Mencia was made by his ';racially insensitive'; jokes, Richard Pryor is a legend and had a huge repetoir of ';racially insensitive'; jokes, the list of ';racially insensitive'; hip hop singers is innumerable. There's a saying in law; Qui Bono, which means ';who benefits';. Don Imus had a comedy show, the only serious man on the show was the guy who regularly told the news and the guy who did the sports. Who benefits from this? Al Sharpton. It's an exercise in strength, in all honesty. To feel that you are the victim of racism based on the speaker's skin is racism itself. These same Rutgers students won't try to get Snoop fired. (I hope not)

    I would tell him that you enjoy your personal space and that you are not interested in seeing someone. It depends on if you want to keep him as a friend or not, it is best to be blunt and to not lead him on. If he doesn't get the hint after the first time explain yourself in a different way how you are not comfortable, etc.



    Best of luck.How do you tell a guy nicely, to back off?
    if you can back off please!
    tell him your pregnant !! works for my couzin everytime !





    and touching when you say no or cut it out is harassment.
    Just tell him rather bluntly (but gently) to stop. Him touching you (to me) is enough to get a vibe that he is at least kind of attracted to you, so the next time he violates you say that you don't feel comfortable with him touching you. I don't don't think there's any other way to wrap it all in sugar...you just have to tell him that you don't like being intimately touched. If he keeps on ignoring you then you have to start getting more and more stern with him.
    Tell him straight up to back the Fu** up that he is too close...
