What about something lighter like the color they call "Champagne".
I'm a guy & I call it off white, but it would go with the deep navy blue color much better than white IMO.

But if your worried about whatever color you pick not being 'right' go with something that shows some clevage dear...& it won't matter a bit ;)

Wow, this is embarrasing !
I spelt 'cleavage' wrong ! ! !

damn it, I should have proof read that post before submitting :\

I would definitely go for a light color, like a cream or a champagne, as was suggested, or maybe a pastel in a shiny fabric like satin. Or you could be daring and wear something bright - red and navy look fantastic together.

If I wasn't impossibly tiny I would totally mail you my wedding dress, it would be perfect, and I want it to get worn again instead of just sitting in a closet forever.

I just have no fashion sense at all. He wanted me to wear navy blue too, but I was like, no we cant match that won't look right.

The problem is that it's EXTREMELY difficult to match a color that closely, and if they were even slightly off, you would clash. This can sort of be solved by choosing a very different fabric, like a satiny fabric next to a wool or cotton fabric, that sort of thing, but it's still a little dicey.

As a guy, something shimmery... thin ,but not too translucent, is a real attention getter (for me anyhow)
Your silver/grey idea also sounds good to me.

I myself ,when I'm forced into it, always go very dark blue or black & my significant other wears a light color that goes with her natural strawberry hair color and ,fair skin tones.
She gets compliments & we seem to look ok in the photo's I've been in.

I'm still a big believer in people dressing in the fashions & colors that make them 'happy' I hate the whole 'black tie' over stuffed & out dated look IMO.

still don't completely toss out the idea of a little cleavage showing . It gets the attention of the men & it puts off those women who can't pull off that 'look' - & they look as much if not more than the men do ;)

On a sadder note a friend of mine died recently & today there is a auction to raise money for his childrens schooling, he left 2 little ones behind & his third is due in a couple of weeks !

So I'm off to help out , & offer support , he died from a brain anurism.
26+ is too damn young for people to be dropping DEAD ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! IMO...

But what can you do ?

Black DOES go with navy blue, you just need to play it right.

Example: Jeans with a black sports coat.

Example 2: Navy Blue Oxford Shirt, Yellow Tie, Black Blazer

I'm colorblind too-- the most common type, the red-green.
Which makes the "fuck the color blind" t-shirts just ironic... first time I saw it in somebody's sig, it never occurred to me that there was an actual message in it...

This is the dress I'm looking at. Local vendor has it. I may go try it on.

Hum... don't trust my color blind eyes, although I do have a certain innate and animalistic instinct / aptitude for these sort of things... And, seriously, I shouldn't be giving any sort of critiques since I've certainly lost interest in fashion for quite some time...

But, as the expression goes, my situation is like the shoemaker's son who goes to school barefooted.
Meaning, my judgement isn't bad though if you looked at me right now would tell different.

That said...
But I'm not a fan of that dress color because it makes me feel sad, although-- it depends on a few factors.

Again, I'm not sure this is shift in my own color spectrum, but the color of that dress in that picture looks like the shade of pencil lead... if it's silvery grey, then that's a different matter. Silver is lovely when mixed in with complimentary colors like grey.

A good rule I shared with my sister is to go through this:

Use whatever colors is visible in the season (spring = yellows, whites, greens, light blues, etc... autumn = oranges, browns, reds, greys... etc.)

And if you're light skinned, go for the colors of plants of the season...
and if you're dark skinned, go for the colors of the earth plus one autumnal leaf color as your make up or accessory.

Example.
Dark skin woman during autumn = smoldering browns and glinting golds.
Light skin woman during spring = pale yellows with touch of either whites or even gold.

That said,
my brown skinned sister went to her prom using an auburn and red dress that really went well with her eyes. (She barely work lipstick because he eyes were so smoldering--dark brown with gold buried underneath... my sister looked really beautiful on that day.)

Let me take this opportunity to stop sound soooo gay right now. The queer eye is overloading my brain--

At 3/14/09 02:35 PM, SevenSeize wrote: But it's good advice.

You think the champagne color would be okay then? I don't want to do yellow, but something pale I agree would look good with the navy and be okay on the pale skin.

I'm not too sure what's champagne exactly-- to me, it's either an off white, beige, or yellow color.
But if you go for the darker side of champagne, then I agree.

white and it's extensive extensions, as a dress, should be kept only for wedding dresses-- it's so boring as a color.

But it also depends on wearing several dresses, and letting your friends look at you and get their opinion. There are exceptions... if the dress makes you smoking hot, then you obviously go with it.

I haven't been lurking that often, but will you tell me what's the occasion? I didn't catch that one... cause, you know, the Smexy Lady in the Red Dress... inside the church... maybe inappropriate.

BTW, he doesn't get the "fuck the color blind" thing either. We saw it on a shirt once and I laughed and like you said, he also didn't realize there was a joke.

Be sure to tell him that we have the best advantage at hunting or foraging. Color blind people are able to spot things that people with a regular color spectrum would obviously miss... we can spot the camouflaged things...

Which is probably one reason why I've spotted more bird nests than the rest of my family...

When I think of "Navy Blue" I think of a Dark Blue color, not unlike a Thalo Blue, but I understand that there are navy blue colors out there that are so dark as to be almost black, which is what (I'm guessing) Skunky is thinking of.

If he's in a black suit, and you're in a blue dress, I don't see what the problem would be. But now if he is in a blue suit (as is what I'm reading the situation to be), then I could see how a black dress would look a little bit wonky.

Me neither, so I can't offer any help like the others I'm afraid. I hear from some buffs there's like, a whole science behind fashion. I'm lost with it really. I only buy new clothes if I really need to, and it's usually the first things I see on the shop when I walk in.

I think it might be easier to dress for formal occasions if you're a guy (not that those are particularly helpful words for you right now :S). Last year, I needed formal gear for something. I just got a black jacket, black trousers and a white shirt (with black shoes). My parents said, "Get a tie.". I got a black tie. They also suggest I tie my hair back. I came out looking like Mr. Scarab, of the smashing new Reservoir Dogs collection.

But yeah, good luck with finding the right thing. Although I'm admittedly confused by some of the above posts, they seem to know what they're on about. I dare say Malachy has found someone else from the last page to brand with the "worst fashion sense" stamp.

but...but!! Yellow ties go with EVERYTHING!!

There's been some issues on my road here lately with attempted breakins and tresspassing, so here lately I've been looking into buying myself a firearm.

I live in the country, down long winding roads, at the edge of the city limits. So how quickly the cops would respond is debateable.

However, due to a family history of depression, I've been a little bit leery of buying a firearm. I've been researching exotic shotgun shell loads, when I came across this page. If you can read the descriptions of these rounds (the Terminator and Piranha rounds specifically) and not flinch, you are made of stouter stuff than I.

They do sell rubber bullets, by the way.

We've got both, but that didn't stop two guys from pulling up on the property last week, blocking mine and my mom's cars in, and attempting to make off some equipment my dad has in the yard.

Do you really need that many ways to hit someone with a shotgun? What I love is how they describe the armor peircers

This awesome round houses enough power to penetrate the thickest car doors, commercial steel doors and most objects up to 1/4" steel plate.

How many doors are they figuring you'll have to go through?

They do sell rubber bullets, by the way.

Like on the X-files when that guys power to pass through objects had to do with their electrical conductivity. Mulder brought out the rubber bullets. Oh yeah.

"They pack a punch EXTREMELY heavier than a standard .12 gauge and the results are both devastating and exciting to see, hear, & feel!"

am I supposed to feel sexual pleasure when my home is being broken into?

half of these rounds sound like they'll never make to to your target. 2 slugs?? wtf, they swoop 1 foot apart from each other.

What use is that lead balls connected by steel crap? it spins...and has the most erratic flight path ever?

I don't think these guys ever plan on hitting anything. And what will you actually hit... well, you can pulverize all of your doors, windows and walls when you're shooting at your teenager who is sneaking in past curfew.

Like I established with the armor peircers, these people really do not like doors.

Australia would accept me for a temporary work visa with an option for permanent visa and citizenship.

A few of those rounds can be made cheaply with a trip to your local hardware store, when you think about it. Flechete rounds; just open up the shell and pour in some some long finishing nails (or an equivalent volume of sewing needles). Same goes with the pepper shell (just replace your shot with cayenne pepper) and the Pirahana round (glazier's points, or carpet tacks).

What I'm curious to see in action is the Exploder round, and how exactly you would use such a thing indoors.

How many doors are they figuring you'll have to go through?

Agreed. A sledgehammer would be cheaper for that purpose.

I cringe just thinking about getting hit with a rubber bullet. Owwie.

At 3/14/09 06:31 PM, Malachy wrote: What use is that lead balls connected by steel crap? it spins...and has the most erratic flight path ever?

The idea is that the weights pull the wire straight, and then the whole mess flies through the air lacerating the target. But yeah, I could see how ineffective such a thing would be.

My old friend Bruce (the ex-military dude who disappeared from work) once told me of a similar round, but it was constructed using screws, nuts, and a short length of lightweight chain. Basically the intent wasn't to damage someone with the chain itself, the intent was to create a projectile that would rip flesh as it hit.

Yeah, that guy made me look at the hardware department very differently after talking with him.

I miss that bastard.

But why is the question. I mean stun rounds I can understand but how many things are going to come through your window or door, fucking door was probably in on it, that a regular 12 gauge won't kill?

"special" does not necessarily mean more firepower...

Part of it (I think) is the novelty factor, to be honest. It's not so much that the round will kill the target, it's the idea that the target will suffer that much more a painful death. Which is kind of fucked up in my opinion.

Somewhere I was reading about a hollow-point deer slug round. The words "over-kill much?" popped into my brain as a response.
