So you may recall me testing out some potential guest of wedding dresses recently… Unfortunately the Aidan Mattox dress did not work out at all.  It is very gold.  Like… casino host gold.  Sad.  But anyway.  Onward.  

The wedding I am attending this weekend is taking place on a plantation in Virginia.  The ceremony and reception will be completely outdoors.  It’s forecast to be 97 degrees, humidity in the 60% range.  I think I’m going to have to take a hat.  

There was Twenty. Three., also known as my birthday post.  DvF dress.  Love.  However, I think it’s not formal enough for a wedding (it is from the beach line and made out of some very nice jersey… some very thin, very nice jersey) and it is really, really effing short.  And slit at the sides.  But it’s still a strong contender.  Mainly because if I wear it I probably won’t wilt.   

I’ve axed The Print.  I would love to wear it but it needs tailoring. 

I snapped a few photos of this Rachel Roy dress, which I’ve never photographed for the blog.  It can be tied several different ways and I never seem to be able to settle on one!  I like it but it’s very volumizing to the hips, you know?  Kind of like The Print.  But this dress is extremely light, which is an incredible asset in 97 degree weather.  

There’s also Black Tie Optional + Victor Victoria, which doesn’t really need a photo as it’s my most recent outfit post, but here it is in full color.  I faded out the post photos a bit for an old photo kind of feel.  I don’t think this is a serious contender any more due to the weather forecast.  I believe it’s just going to be too hot.  

So.  Forever 21 to the rescue?  I might go look there tomorrow… just in case.
