Desperately need help picking out my outfit for dinner. I have two options. They're similar best different. They're both a sweater dress and they're both a shade of red. Five for dinner is, like, casually dressed up, and I figured these would be perfect. Okay? I'm gonna try both of them on. I think they're both gonna look good, but it's a matter of which one. This is option one. The color is absolutely beautiful. It fits me like a literal glove. It's so comfortable that it almost feels like pajamas. This is from Abercrombie. Highly recommend. I I love this. It's beautiful. But let's try on option number two. K. This is option two. This is beautiful. I actually this is bad. This is a tough decision. The neck on this is this one is also extremely comfortable. The color is stunning. Do we like the neckline? How it's kinda turtlenecky. This is not easy. You see, this is why I asked to help because I like both, but you guys see better than I do about which one looks the best. I don't know. Let me add a shoe. Makeup is so angelic today. Okay. So the bag doesn't really match, but I'm traveling, so it's all I have. And I have a white heel on, so I feel stunning in this. Like, stunning. Let me get my friends' opinions. Oh my god. You look incredible. How do I look? I'm ready. I'm ready. Is this the one? Oh, yes. I mean, you need to see that one. Yes. Jeez. Talk about a second. I got it. That's a thing. Right? You look incredible. On the bottom. It's really cool. Oh my god. Thank you. So this is the one. They they've said their piece. Sorry. Who goes? This might what was the other option. You may never know. Thank
