    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. Name: 100_1428.jpg Views: 3826 Size: 150.2 KB

    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 :)

    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. :)

    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!!

    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.
