We had one wedding on our calendar for 2012, and it just happened last weekend. This means that I only had one “wedding outfit” to put together for the entire year. This was it! (um, try to ignore how wrinkled the dress is in these pictures.)
In the interest of being “real” or whatever- I didn’t actually wear this entire outfit to the wedding on Saturday because *wait for it* I am the worst about wearing heels. I consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance and stuff, but when it comes to heels, I am a big giant baby. I actually wore those heels to my graduation and decided that I was INSANE. Then on the morning of, I decided to go with my pearls instead, because as you can tell in the bottom right photo, the necklace was just a little too long. BUT I did wear that dress!
In case you were wondering, this ensemble is the epitome of low-low. My dress is from a J. Crew factory sale. It’s actually the same style that my bridesmaids wore at my wedding, but was much cheaper. I really like the dress, but it has some awkward stomach room when you sit down.
(now for the part that makes me gag a little bit)
Dress- J. Crew
Shoes- Steve Madden, from Marshalls
Necklace- Kohl’s
How many weddings are on your calendar for 2012? What did you wear?
I wish I only had 1 wedding this year… I think our invite count is already at like 6 or 7! Way too many! One would think at the age of 29, these things would start to slow down! Love the dress! xoxo A-
i had 6 weddings last year and NONE this year. woooo hoo!
love that color on you :)
Ah, heels…
I work on the 30th floor of my building. A few months back we had an evacuation drill, which meant the >only< way out was the stairs. After tromping down 20 floors I mentioned to one of my colleagues that it was starting to get hard on the legs. she glared at me and pointed out that *I* didn‘t have to do it in heels!
I love that dress! Only one wedding on my calendar this year, and it was Faison's over Memorial Day weekend! It was the first black tie wedding I'd ever been invited to so it was a little nerve wracking trying to decide what to wear!
That green looks gorgeous on you!
Fun! I have those J.Crew bridesmaids dresses inb like 4 colors…. I love them! And nothing beats the J.Crew factory outlet :) I am also a giant baby about heels and basically never, ever wear them. I'm a flats and sandals girl all the way! You look so pretty in that green. I hope the wedding was lots of fun!
The green looks wonderful on you! Your whole outfit looks great.
We've already been to two weddings this year (a friend's, and then my mom's!). We have two in August, so I need to figure out my dress for those – especially since one of them is in Decatur, GA and I will probably be sweating profusely!).
Such a cute dress! It's a perfect color for a summer wedding :) I can't remember the last time I've been to a wedding and have no plans to attend any this summer. Unfortunately. Maybe I should start convincing my friends to get engaged :)
sometimes i find myself wearing heels to work because i think it is good with the outfit and by 9am i'm wondering what the heck i was thinking! and i never learn!
The green is such a good color on you and as someone who loves high heels, I usually take them off by 3pm for a pair of ugly blue flip-flops to wear around the office!
P.S. – I share your love of Kino's, I have three pairs :)
Such a great color! And go you with these outfit posts — seriously thinking about starting my own! Just have to figure out the whole photo-taking part first haha.
Such a pretty dress! That colour and style are so flattering on you!

I only had one wedding to attend this year, and wound up missing it because we couldn't find childcare. Booo…. That's the only thing about being mommy to a toddler that really bites: missing social engagements! Meanwhile, said toddler agrees that you look gorgeous: he pointed at the screen and said, “Look at that pretty dress…” =)
Oooooh I've been seeing lots of green lately and that makes me happy!!!
Too funny, I wore this exact dress with nude pumps to a wedding last summer! You look great!

I love IT, with or without the heels, it looks great on you!!! That color is perfection with your hair and skin :)
Such a beautiful dress! I really adore the color! I love how simple and sophisticated this outfit feels. Sometimes less is more, especially in summer when you don't want to fuss with accessories and layers. So glad that I stumbled across your blog tonight! It's lovely!

We've had 3 weddings so far and I've definitely been showing up low-low to all of them!! I also didn't wear heels to any of them!
