f/u dress for SIL's wedding

Christina's response to her post below made me realize I should prolly follow-up to mine.

I decided to shy away from the $200 j.crew dress I was oogling... my CC is thankful.

Instead, thanks to Ames and her super-sleuthing, I decided on this one from Newport News, and with a pricetag of $49, you can't go wrong!

AND I bought it in a size smaller, so booyah, motivation!

Also bought these heels, on clearance, at Target:

And the wedding's not 'til November, but right now I'd rather be ahead of the game.  w00t!

  • Very cute! Is the dress strapless? I can't tell from the pic...

    It is.  Here's another view:

    I figure I can just wear a cropped cardi whenever outside or feeling chill, but strapless never bothered me much for late fall weddings, especially if there are a lot of people, a lot of drinks, and lots of dancing!

    I agree! You'll have to PIP for us when you wear it:)

  • I love the pattern on the dress, it's so pretty! I'm sure you'll look great!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • So pretty and the price tag is awesome. I'd look for a statement necklace in silver for that strapless neckline, especially since you got such a great deal on the dress and shoes Smile

    Thats what we were saying -- a vintage-like necklace from F21 and simple earrings.  I have yet to get that far because I think I want to see what the dress looks like first, and if I can even pull it off.  THEN we will start with the accessorizing. ;D

  • Oh honey, I don't think you are just going to "pull it off", I think you are going to rock that thing!  Very pretty, can't wait to see it on.
