Laura and any other shoppers :-)
June 25th wedding. Ceremony is Catholic but the reception is pretty laid back. I don't want to be overly formal since it's MT and we just aren't that way. Any helpful directions? Something kneeish length.
Re: Laura and any other shoppers :-)
I really liked a few things when I was looking at the Limited sale section, including this:

You could put a white shawl/cardigan on for the ceremony. If that is too formal, they have some other things that are probably good for both church and work. I will look at my other usual places, too!
I don't know if they have it in your size, but this dress from BR is seriously my favorite going-out-to-dinner dress, and it's on sale:

It's maybe a little casual for a more formal wedding, but I think it's church appropriate and might work for what you're describing.
This may be too short and/or low cut depending on your body type, but I think you'd look hot in it:

If you like lace:

I'm really all over the place with these picks, I know:

Thank you!! I favorited the first one! I should have said I was a strapless whooore :-)
love love LOVE the last one that laura posted!!
this might be too short, but it seems appropriate (and maybe you don't have a 38" inseam like me...) http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lush-blouson-dress/3147792?origin=category
i would also look at the nordstroms junior section of dresses in general--some of them are a little immature but they are affordable and there are some very cute dresses!
just remember that you should wear a shawl to a catholic mass.

This is pretty, but maybe a little boring?

but neither of them is probably right for your event!

I love that dress. If I hadn't bought so many dresses recently, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Along with the leopard-print one from ATL or the zebra CK one from Nordstrom Rack. I don't know where the heck I'd wear them, since they're sort of business-y, but I love them.
