Dress: H&M Garden Collection. Boots: Vintage Fryes
Bought both but still not sure which to return. (If you follow me on twitter here you already know about these pictures from yesterday - plus other updates I do on there).
I like the soft cream/ivory one (wearing my old caramel boots made it even more appealing), but the red... (Sod the fact that it's the colour associated with H&M's Garden Collection?).
Help! Which colour?
ps. the red one is a true lipstick red. No orange.
(Daria, as promised you'll get to keep the one that I don't).
Aside from the obvious *both" answer, the red speaks to me ... :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll wear the cream more often and for longer. The red is still fierce but the cream.... Oh the cream. Sigh.
ReplyDeletei love them both!! i would say the ivory colored one though, ;)
ReplyDeleteOne's red and one's orangey red (lol - I know that's the lighting).
ReplyDeleteI'd go with the cream...it would be as recognizable on the street (it bothers me when I'm wearing the same thing as everyone else) and I think it's more versatile for summer :)
the cream! it looks so good - it can be dressed up or down :)
ReplyDeletethe red is lovely and vibrant though but less versatile

LOVE the white one on you!

LOVE the white one on you!

i love the white.
ReplyDeletethey both gorgeous though.
The red one is more spectacular but you are more spectacular wearing the cream one:) It would be good choice!
ReplyDeletered looks good on a dark skin. But i would go for the cream one.
ReplyDeleteLove them both. If you have to return one maybe the ivory bcs it could maybe be a bit 'short wedding dress'.
ReplyDeleteThe red is so lovely on you! He suits you lovely! If I had to choose, pick the red-one!
ReplyDeleteI think you can switch up the cream one a little bit more than the red, so i say stick with the cream

i love that dress it looks awesome on you!... I love the red one over the cream ;)
ReplyDeletelOVE them!
ReplyDeleteDefintelly the white one!!!!!!!!!!!!

one more vote for the ivory :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the white. The red is festive and beautiful, but the white goes with your skin tone more. And it's much more spring. I love both, but I personally would get white.
ReplyDeleteI say cream all the way. (: You can wear it in more ways than the red, and the cream goes with everything.
ReplyDeletered
ReplyDeleteI say red because it looks great on you , yet its a color we never really see you in. :)
ReplyDeleteThe red one ;)

Well the white one looks really nice with you're skin tone, but I LOVE the red one!!
ReplyDeletethe cream looks so great w/ your skin tone
ReplyDeleteI love the white one. Red does look gorge but everyone and their mother going to have that. The white looks great against your skin tone
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to check out the Garden collection. xx
ReplyDeleteI vote for the ivory one : )
ReplyDeletethe cream!
ReplyDeletekeep both, like i did! they're cheap enough to justify having both. wore the ivory one last night, in fact!
ReplyDeleteThe ivory really looks beautiful on you.
ReplyDeleteLove the Ivory!!!

I prefer the ivory one with those boots. but i need to see what you would do with the red ones.
ReplyDeleteThey both look great on you obviously, but the cream/ivory color looks better against your skin than the red. Keep the ivory one =) xo

RED. RED. RED.
ReplyDelete1.it seems to be a colour we don't see you in much, so its good to have that one pop of colour that stands out a bit more from your tried and true colours.
2.it's a dream with your skin tone and the boots.
3. Could be worn casual as pictured with the boots, or girlied up a bit with more colour on the lips and heels.
Argh, RED! lol. end of discussion lol. The white looks just like *shrug*, something we'd always/expect to see you in
cream/nude one rocks!
ReplyDelete:p
Ivory. The Rosettes for the skirt are detail enough, you don't need your dress to be flashy red too! The Ivory is an understated color which makes the dress pop! Pick the Ivory!
ReplyDeletehttp://emilypanda.wordpress.com
cream, definitely.
ReplyDeleteI think the cream is amazing! (Especially with those boots.) You can also see the detail better with the cream imo.
ReplyDeletethe ivory looks very elegant on you
ReplyDeleteCream one definatley:)!!

ReplyDeleteLove,

Keep the white. It looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteboth look gorge but i think the ivory you can dress up and down!
ReplyDeleteThis dress sold out in my town before I could get it! I absolutely love the red one, without a doubt

I love them both! Both are amazing, but I think that the cream one is absolutely amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI would say "both" in a heart bit, but if u must then the ivory. It is closer to the new palette of nudes after all...
ReplyDeletei love them both, but if i had to pick the color for i think i would choose the white - it looks stunning against your skin, very beautiful. red is my favourite color, so if i was choosing for myself i guess i would choose the red, but i'm not sure they both look very lovely :)
ReplyDeleteIf you decide to keep the red one..
ReplyDeleteyou would make my graduation if you would like to sell me the other one? I have been trying to get the white dress in all sort of ways, but no success.. please help me, I'll pay the shipping and stuff, of course!
Love Lovisa
I love the soft cream/ivory dress!
ReplyDeleteI say both. But if I had to choose I say go with the cream. It looks gorgeous against your skin and rocks with the boots.
ReplyDeleteCREAM!!! no question (:
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteDid you get a size 2 or 4?
while the cream one looks amazing on you, i think you should get the red one. it makes the dress more special, plus its something you can pull once in a while :)
ReplyDeleteI like the red one on you. It accentuates beautifully your skin tone .
ReplyDeletethe cream one is stunning on you!! Go with that one!!
ReplyDeleteI would say the cream one. For some reason the red one just seems like a typical choice. Let us know what you pick!
ReplyDeleteThey both look great, but I say the Ivory!
ReplyDeletewww.poolovesboo.blogspot.com
keep them both - you know you want to! they both look great and can be styled in different ways. Plus, H&M - not going to break the bank. I think you might regret it if you take one back...
ReplyDeleteI personally like the cream on your skin. It looks phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind my asking, how much did it cost?
The red one! I love how it looks against your complexion. And I'm sure you have a ton of dresses, no need to get another because you may wear it more often: cream one. So get the red one!
ReplyDeleteBoth colours look adorable on you - but I think red would be the option you wear more, but the ivory would be *the* dress to stand out in. Especially on your skin tone, with those boots...ahhh i want that dress!
ReplyDeleteThe cream, I think it would go with more,you'll see less people in it and I just love it.
ReplyDeletePS is anyone else getting the white/ red queen vibe from Alice in Wonderland? I almost feel like someone has painted half of the cream stock red ... just me?
RED!!!
ReplyDeleteboth are divine, however the ivory gives me life. Go with ivory!
ReplyDeleteTHE CREAM ONE! THE CREAM ONE! <33
ReplyDeleteivory. sooo spring
ReplyDeleteWooow, hard choice. I prefer the ivory one though, it looks more expensive.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the cream one! It goes better with your skin tone.
ReplyDeletehttp://champagneandmarshmallows.blogspot.com/
the cream one for sure!
ReplyDeletethe cream one!!
ReplyDeletewww.bighairandbikinis.blogspot.com
I would choose the red for myself. However, the ivory makes your skin look amazing. I love the contrast.
ReplyDeleteCREAM!!! you can dress it up/dress it down, wear it grunge/posh.... blah blah - it looks fantabuloser on you :)
ReplyDeletemagdaleneloves.blogspot.com
IVORY. looks so good with your skin tone, and it's a neutral so you can wear it with a lot more things (including a red leather jacket or red boots or red heels or red cardigan or something!!). but with the red, you might not have as many chances to wear it because it's such a bold color.
ReplyDeletedunno, that's just me!
For you, the Cream looks so much better! :) Just pops more. But i know what you mean about red being the main color.
ReplyDeleteCome visit for Food & Fashion (French Frosting)
cream compliments your skintone so much better!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, clearly both look fabulous on you and provide different looks. If I absolutely had to pick, I'd go with the red because it just speaks out and can be gorgeous for dress-up but also bold on a summer day in the city..

The white one! So pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteRED. FOR SURE. NO QUESTION.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at H&M's garden collection, so I think it was very coincidental when I stumbled upon your post. Personally I like the red dress, but ultimately it is your decision to make :D

ReplyDeletehttp://wonderwool.wordpress.com/
I thought Red at first, but cream is definitely a bit more versatile!
ReplyDelete-Jane @ Brunch at the Beach
cream! just look at it with your skin tone! and imagine it with all kinds of brown and black shoes....
ReplyDeleteI have the red one too, I think that red looks better than white :)
ReplyDeletewhite ofc !
ReplyDeleteI prefer the cream one!

The white one just took my breath away, it looks so romantic! It looks great on you!

ReplyDeleteI prefer the red ones. I want that dress, but is was sold out!
ReplyDelete/Chau
Keep both! I would wear the red one for nights out, and ivory to a wedding perhaps. Don't return :-) I wish I had H&M.
ReplyDeleteI think both dresses are gorgeous but, if you can't keep both, I think the red one i a bit more special! Good luck choosing! :)
ReplyDeletego for the cream one, it's beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteWhite! Its stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe red, definitely the red! It works beautifully with your skin tone! The cream is lovely but the red is spectacular, and it really looks lovely on you. In fact, why don't you wear red more often? You look great in it!
ReplyDeletecream
ReplyDeletethe red is really hot
ReplyDeletelove the red! makes me think alice in wonderland painting the roses red. however i say both.
ReplyDeletewhere in new york do you live?

ReplyDeleteThe red is stunning! And those dresses look divine on you too lucky girl.
ReplyDeletethe white one is perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteWHITE WHITE WHITE! It looks so great against your skin, whereas the red just doesn't do anything for you. You have to keep the white! I love it!
ReplyDeletedefinately the cream one. it goes great with your skintone and i can see you combining it with other stuff than the red!

CREAM CREAM CREAM! :)
ReplyDeletesorry but I want you to keep BOTH
ReplyDeleteDitch the red. The white looks sooooo much better on you!
ReplyDeletehttp://prettyshinysparkly.com
I'd go with the red one because other nice white dresses are easy to find. Saying that I mean that nice red dresses are hard to find, obviously :P
ReplyDeleteThats actually a hard one. I would definitly go for the cream anyways, but I love it simple, so maybe that's just me, but I think it looks a bit better on you!
ReplyDeleteThe red dress is gorgeous! By the way I left you a lovely blog award on my blog so go check it out and keep up the good work!!

Definitely the red dress, gorgeous and I think it is unique. Great red dress!
ReplyDeleteI BOUGHT BOTH! it was just too hard to decide!
ReplyDeleteif you were to decide, i think i love the beige one on you more!
(i am wearing the beige one in my latest post, btw!)
xoxo
The ivory one, it looks fabulous on you!
ReplyDeletego for cream!!!
ReplyDeleteIVORY!
ReplyDeletei think the ivory color contrasts with your skin the best! it looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTake the red one! it´s soo beautiful
ReplyDeletethe ivory is definitely better! xx
ReplyDeletehttp://jadore-fashion.blogspot.com/
I just bought the red one- it's amazing for spring, I had a hard choice choosing between teh two though- But I chose the red- but Im blonde- so the cream one looks better on you than it did on me..
ReplyDeleteIf I were you I would keep both. :) Which one would you wear more? Do you already have a lot of cream dresses?

Cream!
ReplyDeleteCream of course! You look so delectable in it :)
ReplyDeleteivory !!!! even though red is my favorite color, i'd still go with the ivory. fa sho.
ReplyDeletethx EVERYONE FOR THE VOTES!!!! I read them all as they were coming in.
ReplyDeleteAnon - i got 2 in the cream and 4 in red. Both fitted perfectly (weird H&M sizing!!).
For those who said to keep both, for me I have way too many clothes to want to have 2 of the same distinctive dress styles. Best (for me) to just enjoy one only in that one style only. Hope that makes sense. Plus I promised my gf Daria she could have the one that I let go ; )
I really dig the red one!
ReplyDeletethe red one!
ReplyDeleteI love red, but the white dress looks totally hot on you!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for red. It looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeleteIvory works amazingly with your beautiful skin tone, the red is a great colour but I don't know ... I'd go ivory.

Red is your colour... you must keep it and wear with some nude pumps.

ReplyDeleteThe red one look SO MUCH better in your skin color, you need to use more colors so your skin will start look so much full of live .
ReplyDeleteI like the RED. It would be nice with some turquoise jewellery...
ReplyDeleteI would choose the RED dress. It would be nice with turquiose jewellery
ReplyDeleteWow its def a split on which colour everyone like's more. Being that I have a few cream/ivory dresses though, I am letting this cream one go to a friend of mine who wants it.
ReplyDeleteThis will be the one little red one. For me, it makes a change.
Blandina - yea I see that.
return the red one
ReplyDeletebeautiful dress!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to buy the red one on ebay for quite a lot for my prom... is the red vibrant and not washed out?
ReplyDeleteI think both look amazing on you by the way. The red is unique but the cream looks fab with your skin... :)
BOTH!!!
ReplyDeletei know this post is way old and since made a decision but I just have to chime in. CREAM! Oh my! It's to die for. love it with the boots. which one did you keep???
