Shimmery Goodness, or Hot Mess?

It's taking everything inside me to not break down and buy this dress from this morning's HauteLook sale. Am I crazy??

VOOM by Joy Han

So I have this tendancy to be tacky and gaudy at times, but no matter. I love it anyway! I think it is super shimmery, bow-laden, gorgeously colored, and precious. And 71% off is such a great deal! I have a VOOM dress at home that is super fun and cute; a little kistchy, but that is what is so unique and great about it. What do you think? Pretty or pretty disasterous?

    I really like that dress! I have the same love as you for things that other might find tacky...I love anything with a little sparkle and bright colors!

    MeggyD: I totally see what you're saying, but I don't know. Maybe it's the whimsy I like. Lawandfashion-- Oh thank you I'm not alone! hehe...

    I definitely couldn't pull it of- too much shiny/bows/poufy sleeves + big boobs= disaster! I think that any piece of clothing can be pulled off it is done the right way, like pairing this dress with some harder edged accessories (studded heels???)

    *sigh.* Show me an affordable pair of studded heels a la Christian Siriano and I'm yours forever. :)

    I have been on the hunt for the perfect studded heel that won't leave me broke for the rest of the year. Will let you know if I find one!

    Actually- have you seen the preview Chistian Siriano for Payless shoes that are supposedly coming out this month? They are pretty "fierce" in true Christian form and shouldn't be more than 40-50 bucks...

    Ohhh nice gucci find! Those CS for payless looked great on the runway, but I heard the ones he actually plans on selling in the stores are not as fierce. I'm not kidding, i'm wanting like spike-studded heels. Am I crazy??

    Definitely not crazy- the ones with the spikes are kick ass! I am going to keep my eyes peeled for these to hit. I will be on lookout next Thursday in Manhattan, I will be shopping on the big Fashion Night Out event.
