Back home and need your help!

WARNING: GIRLIE POST UP AHEAD

Guess what?! I’m home! I flew into Toronto a few hours ago and hit the ground running. But in truth, I am exhausted. I left Chile last night at 10pm, took an overnight flight to Dallas, Texas, where I arrived in the early morn. After gorging myself on a stale McDonald’s Egg McMuffin breakfast and indulging in the consumption of few trashy gossip magazines purchased in the airport, I embarked on the last leg of my journey, boarding a plane to Toronto.

Now that my trip is over, I can safely say that I really adore Chile. I saw only a bit of this vast, extremely diverse country, but I loved it. I raved about it to my mom, Liebling, and anyone else within earshot.

Needless to say, I can’t wait to share the rest of my trip with you. More Chile updates are forthcoming.

But first, I need you to help me. I have a wedding to attend on Sunday (my cousin is getting married!) and I am in a bit of a pickle with regards to what to wear. Could you, dear reader, perhaps provide me with a bit of input?

I am hesitating between two dresses. Both are Karen Millen dresses that I purchased a few months ago while living in Hong Kong, so I was able to find photos of them online. One is silver and one is red (although I could only find the black version of the dress online). They are both ruffle-y.

Exhibit #1:

Exhibit #2 (Keep in mind that the dress I own is red):

Which one should I go for? Keep in mind that I am a lot shorter and squatter than the model/mannequin pictured. While the silver dress is gorgeous and makes a statement, I worry that the big ruffle around the neck might be too “much”, too ostentatious. It is also a bit low cut.

As for dress #2, I have reservations because, even though it’s fire engine red, I worry that it may be a bit boring. It is made of a crepe-type material that has absolutely no sheen. I really love the dress, but I’m wondering if maybe I should wear something that has a little more “oomph”.

So, I put the question to you, readers, which dress should I pick?!
(and guys, don’t be shy, would love your input, too!)
