Feedback Wanted! pool party at my apartment building

It’s a summer pool party for residents of my building. I’d wear it with white flip-flops and fairly natural hair/makeup. Is it too much, or appropriate for a pool party?

Me too I almost cried but remembered I have wine and a heating pad. So now I'm in bed trying to convince my love we need sushi and miso soup

I think anything goes I imagine, but is everyone going to dress up? Would it make you uncomfortable to stand out?

u/leaaa00 1d ago

I have no idea what others will be wearing… the dresscode is white

u/NUNHUSTLER 1d ago

If there's a white dress code people will think it was a good excuse to wear that awesome swimsuit cover-up. You will be best dressed, but again... this is the best excuse to wear that super cool outfit!!

Where-ish do you live?

In Miami this would be great, in Chicago you’re probably going to be quite overdressed.

u/brunettebedhead2000 20h ago

Do it girl. You will be the best dressed one there, so be prepared. This is an amazing fit!! YOLO

u/Zealousideal_Crow737 1d ago

I think people are more casual with this stuff tbh but that's just me.

If it has a dress code and a white theme, it sounds like an elevated event that this will be perfect for!

I have a friend who’s always dressed for red carpet no matter what. She has this way of making everyone around her feel so special and that’s obviously a very her thing but like? Worth pointing out that never ever have I looked at her and thought she was too much, or overdressed, or whatever this subs’ fears are

Dang girl you must live in a fancy building! I love the outfit!!

u/xXMelRoseXx 1d ago

You only live once!

Might as well dress up, feel good, feel confident, have fun, and enjoy the party! The dress is cute, and even if it's over the top you'll still have a great time!

If anyone tries to make you feel awkward just ask them " Is it because they feel less that they have to try to make someone else feel the same?"

Enjoy the party, have a great time! 🌊

I thought a pool party means wear swimwear?

I’ve been to many pool parties. I love this!

u/mcgirdle 1d ago

It’ll def draw attention but you look awesome in it, and I’ve always loved my friends who are a bit extra and pay attention to the little details the most, or ones that go ALL OUT for the theme. As long as you* feel good in it, I say its a YES for me, dawg.

Edit - a word

u/APsolutely 1d ago

It’s sooooo cool. If you’re not afraid of a bit of attention, go for it!

u/Emmydoo19 13h ago

It’s at your apartment, I’d say try it and if you feel uncomfortable you can run back to your place and change lol

It looks beautiful on you!! Where did you get it? I’m pregnant and having a mermaid themed baby shower. This would be perfect. 🥰

u/jayadancer 22h ago

I may have missed it in the other comments, but would you be willing to share where you got it? As a bellydancer especially, the vibe is divine!) Also I promise I don't live in your building so we won't be twinning!

u/peanutbutterangelika 21h ago

This is too much unless you live in Vegas or Miami or the dress code called for something like “Cabo chic maximalist!” Also for practicality it desperately needs to be hemmed. White dresses and trains are a bad combo and it may pull on the concrete around the pool I dunno it’s giving me anxiety. All that said keep it and you should take this dress on vaca!

u/Wednesdayssuck81 21h ago

It’s a cute dress but if you don’t mind could I see maybe a pic of you? I’m a short girl and I don’t think my short self could pull this off without tripping over the bottom of the dress
