We are flying to Atlanta on Friday for the wedding of one of DH's cousins.
It's a 2pm wedding on Saturday, outside in a garden, and the current weather forecast is for low 70's and sun. But that could change. The reception is indoors at a different location.
Has anyone seen an outfit (dress, or separate top and skirt, or top and pants) which you would wear to an occasion like the above mentioned? Since we are flying, and planning to take public transportation from the airport to the hotel, I'd like to take just one outfit, plus accessories for warmer / cooler temperatures. Otherwise, I'd be all over the multiple outfits and decide when we get there option. (It's seriously too bad the wedding wasn't this summer because I have a strapless sun dress which would have been perfect. But I digress.)
One big condition: I don't like to wear black to a wedding even though I know it's now acceptable to do so. And a second important condition: I'd prefer something I could also wear to parties over the holidays. Third and final condition: Due to time constraints I'd like it to be at a local store, not out of a catalogue or only on-line.
Jeez. I don't ask for much, do I? Regardless, can you help a girl out?
The only outfit I own which meets those conditions is one I wore to the groom's sister's wedding last year. I think it would be a little much to wear the same outfit to both weddings, don't you?
If it helps, I'm petite with dark blond hair, and the only color other than black I won't consider is purple!

I went to Ann Taylor Loft last week and they have a BUNCH of separates there. I'm petite too and it's hard to find something that's proportioned correctly. Try there and try the suits and other business looking things at Macy's and Dillard's. I was surprised that they had such cute skirts!
ReplyDeleteHow about this dress from Forever 21? http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=dresses&product%5Fid=2043327240&Page=1
ReplyDeleteAt $22.80, it's a bargain and it comes in red and green so it would be perfect around the holidays too! You can wear a wrap or sweater over it if it gets chilly. It would look great accessorized with a pretty brooch.

Take thyself to Macy's. They have 1 million dresses. I'd let you borrow my faux pleather half belt if you'd like. It was a big hit at the party and I think it'd suit the weather perfectly. Because it has 3/4 sleeves you might be able to put it with some tall boots or something when it's colder. I don't wear tall boots so I don't know. And you don't have that dress so it probably doesn't matter. Oops. I am sticking with Macys and the brand Suzie in the City. Oh, and 3/4 sleeves too. Let us know what you get and let me know if you want to borrow the dress!
