ela: i dont know why u gals didn't wore these dreeses but i think i can easily wore them and feel comfortable with it..........i think u all are from paris..a big fashon area but i m form india and its easy to wear them
Xannyyy: Mary, I totally agree with you on that!!!
MARY: You have to live in the right city and run with a certain crowd and have a lot of $$$..It would be fun.
Tavia: Hi Sheila! Wooow.....after looking at all these photos I know for sure that I will never be a Diva :). These outfits are so elegant, chic and stylish I could never see myself wearing them. Well I guess not everyone can be a Diva. :)
Xannyyy: Most of these outfits are really for Divas. I can't imagine myself wearing some of them to some of the places I usally Go. To overdressed, but fashionably and outrageous in a good way. Nic clothes to watch at a fashion show. :)
