I just noticed this post, and I say wear the dress it''s gorgeous. If you want to spend not a lot of money, I always always try DSW or Nordstrom Rack if you have one in your area. You can get great name brand shoes and pay way way less. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, that is if you don''t plan on taking them off!
funny, I am the opposite, I probably straighten 2-3 times a year, and always miss my curls dearly. I had a relaxer for a decade or so, and am so proud of my fabulously curly hair, I think straight is boring now! My hair suits my personality! I do, however, think that straight styles look more polished for big events, just because I am bad with hair!
SO likes me curly though, so I might ask him which he would prefer
