Finalize My Fit Follow-up: BCBG Bonanza/Wedding Recap!

By Jess

Remember last week, when I posted the four mystery dresses from BCBG, and I asked you to guess out of three friends and me (Kelly, Susie, and Jen) who would be wearing which one?

If you missed it, check out the post here!

Well, this guy got it right!

He credits his wealth of fashion insight and cocktail dress knowledge to watching endless episodes of What Not to Wear! But I'm not sure; maybe he just knows these four ladies really well? Maybe he just pays attention? Maybe he's a thoughtful kind of guy (and yes, he's single. And no, he doesn't usually wear life jackets in public. Unless you want him to.)

Nonetheless, he was right! Way to go! Thanks for guessing.

Here are the 4 dresses again:

Mr. Mason correctly guessed that I would wear the bright fuchsia princess dress :)

I accessorized as follows:

Shoes: Silver BCBG heels

Bracelet: BCBG (similar found here)

Earrings: not shown, BCBG 

Clutch: not shown, silver, from the Limited

He also guessed correctly on the three other dresses!

Here we are in our finalized fits (with an additional BCBG number on the far left too! Love it!)

Dress #1: BCBG Ink and Tan Striped Spaghetti Strap Dress (in the middle above) was accessorized with a gold statement necklace and taupe shoes.

Dress #2:  BCBG Cobalt Blue cocktail dress (on the right) was accessorized with black heels, a black clutch, and a fun, silver necklace.  The below necklace was SUPPOSED  to be the perfect accessory (find it here) but it  broke upon first wear.

Say What? Failed Fit. Must return!

Dress #3 Blue Depth Jersey Christina Asymmetrical Dress (second from left) was accessorized with limited jewelry, just as many of you suggested! The dress spoke for itself. It was paired with black heels and a black clutch .

But beyond what to wear, and what not to wear....The wedding was a BLAST! 

We danced all night, and those perfectly accessorized shoes came off quickly!

We had plenty of fun in the photo booth-

And most importantly, we were so happy to be part of this special night.

The bride and groom make such a lovely couple!

 Congratulations you two!

Finalize our Fits: A BCBG Bonanza!

By Cool J

A few weeks ago, I posted about a memorable Fits on the Road in Annandale, MN, where several of my friends gathered to toast our good friend Abby on her bachelorette weekend.

The bachelorette party was a blast, but the main event will be here this weekend! And, of course, this main event was an "excuse" for many of us to purchase new party dresses for the special occasion.

Four of us- Susie, Kelly, Jen, and I- have had a few emails back and forth, discussing said party dresses, and debating how best to finalize our fits.

And we need your advice! I won't tell you who is wearing which dress!  But I will ask you to comment with your tips as how to best accessorize these cute little numbers.

First of all, it's obvious that BCBG is the dress maker for cocktail dresses for women ages 27-36! We all found dresses that fit our personal style at the same store.

Dress #1: BCBG Ink and Tan Striped Spaghetti Strap Dress

This dress can also be worn strapless- a true functional fit! 

So...how to accessorize? 

Black shoes would be classic, but what about a taupe/tan? 

Jewelry: maybe some funky black statement jewelry?

Dress #2: 

This short and sassy number can be finalized lots of different ways.

A bold accent color, perhaps? Maybe red, yellow, or orange? The options are endless.

Shoes: How about silver or nude?

What do you think?

Dress #3

Blue Depth Jersey Christina Asymmetrical Dress

The funky and fun dress is a knock-out! 

It's shown below with black accessories, 

but again, the simple blue color allows for a lot of different accents. 

A burnt orange or red would be perfect for fall, 

but this versatile style could also work in the winter with silver or gold. 

Definitely a functional fit!

Dress #4

Tired Marina Cocktail Dress

With the jeweled neckline, a necklace is obviously a no-go! 

My thought is just a bracelet and earrings.  

Shoes: how about nude? A glittery silver? 

The bronze in the picture would also work.

So tell us readers, how should we finalize our fits for the big event this Saturday?
