    Would this be okay to wear to my cousin's wedding?
    Would this dress and cardigan be okay to wear? I know it's black and white but I thought if I added the pink it would be OK. The wedding is next Friday and my mom won't take me shopping. Attachment 22784

    And what shoes should I wear, my flats or heals? Both pairs of shoes are comfy, I just can't choose.

    Thanks:)

    Definitely, it looks very nice.

    Is it a casual or formal event?
    That dress would suit for both,
    With the cardigan for less formal, without the cardigan for a more formal look.

    If you want to add color you could go for some funky jewellery ;)

    And... I like the shoes with the little hearts inside ;)

    :D thanks so much! I was a little worried because it was black and white an I didn't want to "compete" with the bride's dress because of the white. I think I'm going to wear the cardigan with it because it has spaghetti straps and I don't want to be too "showy". What other colors would go with this?

    Haha no, I wouldn't worry about that, now if you were wearing an all white dress then I would suggest you change it. ;)
    Patterned black and white is fine.
    It's a very pretty dress too!

    Competeing with the bride would be over 50% white.
    Lots of women wear black and white to weddings now.
    You'll be fine with that.

    Love the dress and shoes.. not so wild about the sweater. I wish you had it in black or even white. I think it takes too much away from the dress.

    I am sure what others say is true,but my opinion on this is a little different.

    I am thinking that the pink sweater clashes with the dress and it is such a pretty dress.
    Maybe a lighter pink or red perhaps?

    Edit;;;; or black as d&nmommy says.

    I do have a white knit cardigan, but I don't like it, it's kind of ugly :(. I'll see what I can find, I have a week anyway. Thanks guys! :)

    Very cute and very appropriate. Black for weddings is very chic and acceptable now and the shots of color and white make it cheerful and festive. I wish I had the figure for this adorable outfit! Have fun!

    Thanks guys, but the problem is the dress shrank in the wash so I need to get a new one and my mom is taking me shopping tomorrow after work. So when I get home tomorrow I will post a pic of my new dress. Thanks for the comments though :)

    Aww that sucks :(
    Can't wait to see the new dress though :)

    I'm looking on Google to see if there is any way to un-shrink it but I really don't feel like soaking a $40 dress in white vinegar, I'm playing it safe and buying a new one. :)

    They look good together (the dress and the cardi)
    And the t-shirt is very cute too ;)

    Thanks! I only went there for a dress and came out with all that stuff. I'm glad I brought extra money :). I have a feeling I'm going to be taking a big chunk of the money I got from graduation and going back there to get some more things :D. it didn't help either that the TJ Maxx store was right next to a JC Penny Outlet and a Burlington Coat Factory! :D TOO MANY CHOICES NOT ENOUGH TIME TO SHOP!!

    My only purchase recently was a Hello Kitty t-shirt lol

    You're right, except it's too much stuff not enough money! :p

    Lol you would have probably laughed your butt off if you saw me walking around the store yesterday. My mom wouldn't give me the cart and I was too lazy to get one myself so I was walking around the aisles with like 5 dresses and a bunch of other clothing in my arms :p. the pile was almost as big as me! :D

    Very cute outfit! Wear whatever shoes are most comfortable - you may be walking/standing a lot.

    Thanks! I tried breaking in my flats and I can barely walk in them :p. so I decided to wear the heals. :D
