Outfit #7

I hate to bore you with the same topic of me trying to find an outfit for this wedding I'll be attending in July, but it's really the only excuse I have for shopping this summer so I'm trying to make the most of it. I'm going to put together a few outfits, over time, that I could feasibly buy. Most of the dresses I picked out earlier are already sold out so I'm starting from scratch.

I really like the color palette of this dress and the detailing around the collar.
Honey Bee Collar Dress $52.99
source: Ruche
A clutch would work wonderfully with this dress and a white one would fit quite well into the neutral color palette. Plus there's a wrist strap which is essential if you don't want to lose your belongings.
80's Cream Leather Purse $11
source: Lady Emerald Boutique
This is going to be a super casual wedding so I'd be tempted to throw on some shoes I could wear the whole weekend.
Cocobelle Para Ti Snakeskin $69.99 (on sale from $99)
It's going to be outside so I can't neglect my sensitive eyes.
F1970 Sunglasses $5.80
source: Forever 21
A big, fun ring would be just what I need to finish the ensemble. I'd choose a cameo, in this case, since it's a romantic event.
Large Blue Lady Cameo Ring $5
source: Cameos and Such
Base price for the whole outfit (not including shipping + tax) is $144.78!
Do you enjoy dressing up for weddings?

Totally digging those shoes... and that dress would be great for a wedding. I do love dressing up for weddings, but then again, I like to use whatever excuse I can to dress up!

Love the outfit!! I do enjoy it. I haven't been to a wedding for someone I actually know that I haven't been in and haven't been able to pick out my own dress! I think it's fun to dress up every now and then!

Very classy outfit... I do enjoy dressing up for weddings when I've pre-planned it. I absolutely hate it when I don't give a thought and then have a complete clothes crisis trying to get ready.

I really love that frame/pedestal used in displaying the clutch... So cool! And those glasses are a steal.

Lauren said...

I enjoy dressing up for anything! Maybe it's because I live in a casual city and work at an uber-casual office. So I've come to terms with always being the most dressed up. It makes me happy, so.
I think this is a great outfit for a spring wedding- I can already see you with a glass of champagne in hand, at a garden reception!

That dress is gorgeous! Love it, love it.

makes me want to do one of my one-stop-shop posts--i have not done one in a while.

Diana said...

for sure get something that you can wear all year round!

Gabbi said...

Great outfit post! It's all in my kind of budget and I actually have a wedding in June that I've been sort of stressing over what to wear too... also my excuse for dress shopping. :) Looking forward to seeing what you decide on!

I love this outfit! ...especially the ring. I adore cameos.

And I do love dressing up for weddings, but I always stress out about whether I'm going to be under or over -dressed.

Rachel said...

I always dress up for weddings!! Why not? Everyone else is?!?

This is a great outfit. I love that dress and saw Kim Kardashian wearing it while I was flipping channels one night. It was in a different color though! Cute though!

Aline said...

I love it!!!! totally perfect...I am going to go check out that first dress:)

Bromeliad said...

I love it now that I have an all-purpose little black dress that works (second-hand, naturally). Before then it was stressful.

Cute cute cute! I am in love with the honey bee dress.
