Narrowing it down

Alright. First off, a big THANKS to everyone for your input. It means a lot :)

Second, I've now narrowed it down to the top 2 songs: "Smile" and "Fooled Ya Baby." Which one I end up singing may be a complete last-minute decision (like right after I say "Hi, my name is Ashley and I will be singing "_______________").

Third, from the advice of Erica, and from my fairly bare wardrobe that completely needs a makeover, I was able to put together a little "outfit." Now, I could be totally crazy in thinking this is cute. So this is where I need a bit more advice. Does this look completely hideous?


Before you say "yes," read on.

All of these things are currently in my closet. I do not need to pull money out of the area I like to pretend it comes from to buy more. So keep that in mind as you are criticizing.

Ok, so I figure that red is a power color, which is good. And the red and black are pretty cute together. I would probably get some really cute red/black earrings. Now as far as shoes- I can't decide. Do I want to be dressy with the Jessica Simpson shoes or should I be more casual with the punk-ish shoes?

Or should I bag the whole outfit and start from scratch?

This shirt dress is cute, but not really an audition outfit, imo.... it's not bad, but I vote for a new top :)

I agree with your mom...something that will leave more of an impression. Those red shoes will definitely leave an impression. :)

I don't think it's bad. I think they know that you are not professionaly dressed. So I think, "why spend money on something that you are just auditioning for?" Do you really think the outfit has anything to do with it? Hmmmmm, maybe it does, maybe not. PS I really like the red shoes.

The judges are also looking for "the look" ... so you do want to impress them in the audition.

I can only speak from my experience. and if it were me and I wore high heels (which I have never done), I KNOW, I just know that it would end with me flat on my face and the red color spilling onto my face. So, having said that I would go the safe (and still really cute route) and go with the black shoes.
But I know nothing so don't listen to me. I am sure you are already asleep. I am really good at boring people.

Hi Ashley! I'm so glad you are auditioning again! Best of luck! As far as what to wear, not that I know anything...I like both shoes. I think it comes down to what you feel the most comfortable in. Which ones fit your personality/mood the best. I know, for me, sometimes that needs to be reaccessed on a daily basis. :)

Cute! Maybe something a little more dressy would be cute too, like without the leggings. But whatever you're comfortable in will be best. I vote for the heels if you chose this outfit.

sorry have to say I dont like the outfit at all...shoes are both cute depending on what look you want. With that being said...I am a totally geek when it comes to clothes!!!
