What I Wore: Wedding Guest

Actually, this is cheating. I won't wear this outfit until Saturday when Hubsey and I go to a wedding (at an art gallery-fun!), but I know I'll be scrambling around and forget to take a picture that day. So let's just pretend this already happened:




dress: Ann Taylor
shoes: Kensie
purse: Coach
brooch: vintage, wore it to get married!
earrings: I made them

I will be honest: I didn't know what to wear at first. I actually looked up the venue to make sure it wasn't so fancypants that I'd have to go buy a "real" cocktail dress (which would have been a TRAGEDY, I know), but it was fine for what I already had. Hubsey is relieved.

Have you been to any awesomely-located weddings this summer? I went to one last fall that was at a former nursery (of the flower variety, not for babies). Do you have a go-to wedding outfit? Maybe you like to get something new for each one?

  1. Love the outfit, especially the shoes! I am such a sucker for a good pair of shoes. We had one very lovely wedding this spring in which I wore my go-to wedding outfit: Banana Republic black and teal print dress, black heels, black cardi. Always looks good.

  2. I love your outfit! I have not been to any weddings this spring or summer. I also love the brooch! I really do not dress up that much and so I tend to wear something cute in my closet for formal events.

  6. Love the cut of that dress, and the brooch looks amazing with it! I haven't been to any super unique venues for weddings lately, but we're getting married at a nature center/museum. Does that count? ;)

  9. Cas, I used to be the same way. Weddings were always an excuse for a new outfit, but that was because I worked at a radio station and just wore jeans everyday. Now that I have to look marginally presentable at The Day Job, I've found that dressing up is easier in general.

  10. I love the dress! Ann Taylor has some great finds. I have a bunch of weddings next summer, so I might splurge on a really nice cocktail dress (I don't really own one now) and then wear it to all of them!

    I have only been to one wedding this summer and it was my mother-in-law's wedding. She got married at her house in the backyard. It was small and intimate with only about 25 people, it actually turned out pretty nice.
    And I love that dress.....I love Ann Taylor!

  21. Many celebrities are already fascinated with the retro looks of due to the fact, for instance, Oprah, Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson etc.
    People of each class and level can simply get these because
    their prices are of every range. The unique qualities from the sheepskin mean which they will keep
    your feet warm in even coldest of weather, but if you use them in summer
    they will not overheat your foot.
