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?
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! No weddings for me this summer...thank goodness, because I have nothing fancy to wear! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I love little pops of animal print :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit... especially the shoes! I haven't been to a wedding in foreverrrr (sad!) but I usually use it as an excuse to get something new.... :P Sea Marie
ReplyDeleteLove 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? ;)
ReplyDeletexo,

No fair upstaging the bride! (Only kidding.)
ReplyDeleteSmashing outfit!
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHi....new follower! I won the Bubby & Bean giveaway and received the necklace earlier this week. I love it! You have such an amazing shop, so many items I would love to have.
ReplyDeleteI posted a little pic of your necklace I took.....

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!
