No, I didn’t get married. Or, rather, not recently. But I did go to a wedding the last weekend, and I’ve got the fancied-up OOTD photos to prove it.
It was fun. I say that as someone who typically hates weddings. The bride looked lovely, and together with her new husband, very happy. More importantly for my selfish purposes, they threw a nice shindig. I especially appreciated the fact that it was a kid-free wedding. This, on one hand, makes the logistics of attendance a wee bit more difficult; but, once that’s all sorted, the actual event is infinitely more fun. Don’t get me wrong: I love my kids, and spending time with them is always generally a blast. However, keeping two little ones in check for the duration of a sit-down plated dinner isn’t really my idea of a good time. Especially whilst wearing a fancy frock. Which I rarely get to do. Or whilst attempting to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in years. Which, obviously, I rarely get to do. So hurrah for kid-free weddings!
And mazel tov to the happy couple!
Stunning! You look just like Jessica Chastain, which has to be the biggest compliment ever because she is gorgeous!
Thank you! You’re right, that is a great compliment.
That dress is striking and you look so glamorous!
Thank you! I rarely get to feel glam, so that’s a lovely compliment 🙂
That dress looks completely amazing on you! I remember seeing that and thinking it was really pretty, but never getting it because my Target didn’t have my size left 🙁
You can find lots on eBay for really cheap! I would definitely recommend it for the price ($20-$30) – it has a lot of little details that you would normally only find in more expensive brands. Plus, the main fabric is a cotton-silk blend (if I recall correctly), which is pretty incredible for a Target piece. It has a lining AND tulle! Can you tell I’m a fan? 😉
I love the print of the dress with that shawl. It really pops against your skin tone!
Also loving the centerpiece pic. #weddingporn
Thanks! I loved the centerpieces, because they combined 3 of my fave things. It was a very nice wedding.
Lovely outfit! That colour – especially in the wrap – really suits you! Also, did you help design the wedding centrepieces? 😉
No, I can’t take any credit! I think the bride made them herself though. Kudos to her, everything looked lovely.
Gorgeous dress for a gorgeous lady! I’m glad you had fun!
Thank you!
