Dear Laura,I love attending weddings, especially when I know the bride and groom well. You might remember this dress from the last wedding I attended in Mexico. I’m wearing a few different accessories. It was definitely cool enough for the jacket, but I spent nearly the entire evening without it as I deemed it not quite formal enough to wear until the afterparty.

Nearly everyone wore black to the wedding, which I found puzzling (May, country club, etc.). Even most of the men wore black suits. Well, whatever. This dress just ended up being a little bit flashy.

OOOO lovely dress!!! I love the colors and the big floral abstract print. I think it’s easy for most people to throw on LBD and go…since it doesn’t take much to style.

New look on the blog, love it! Also, love the way you styled this dress, will definitely have to copy and do the same…..though need to make sure it still fits over the bump!
Alexandra Shook says
I bet it will fit the bump! I think there’s pretty much room in the waist in this one.
