The DEATHMATCH has come into being because I have a horrible habit of buying clothes that are too similar to each other, and I can never decide which to keep. Which is where you come in -- you get to vote which to keep! I will post photos of the dress, and list their pros and cons, then I'll put it to a vote.
Let's begin!
Dress #1: Classiques Entier grey sleeveless sheath, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
I have blogged about this dress before, but I haven't yet worked up the nerve to wear it. So even though I bought it at NAS in July, it still has its tags and can be returned.
Pros:
-It's gorgeous, and fits me great.
-Heavy enough material will make it wearable through the winter.
-Looks very professional and still sexy.
Cons:
-To wear through the winter, I need to wear a sweater over, or a blouse underneath. I don't think the dress looks as good when I do that.
-It was expensive. I can get 4 other dresses at Marshalls or Target for the price of this one.
-The fit is not as good as it could be while I am up these 10 pounds.
Dress #2: Grey short-sleeved faux-wool jumper dress, Target
Pros:
-Looks great with sweaters over or button-downs underneath, making it perfect for fall/winter
-I much prefer the versatility of this versus the statement style of the NAS dress
-Cost me less than $20
Cons:
-Bought it on clearance at the end of last winter, too late to return it
-The front has a weird pleat right at my belly, which is good because it distracts from the size of my belly, but bad because it poofs out whether I'm bloated or not
-A little too short, and a little too tight (which is okay since I won't wear it until it is tights weather, and it should be looser by then)
-Not as pretty as the NAS dress
Vote early and vote often!
(I have two other DEATHMATCH sets of dresses I will be posting shortly. And probably a couple more once my Target order gets here. Told you I had a bad habit of doing this, LOL!)
Adorable outfit but ditch the boots or add black leggings or stockings with black heels would really sleek.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anon! I hadn't actually tried to accessorize at all for these sets of photos; I just threw on the boots for all the shots. It was 75 degrees all day here -- a little too soon for any kind of leggings or hose, even just for posing. :) But I will once I wear them outside the house, not to worry.
ReplyDeleteThat entier sheath is amazing and fits you so well! I think it's better to have one amazing dress than four run-of-the-mill dresses. I do like the target one a lot, but it's just not as special and has a different, more casual vibe.
