What to wear??
My husband's cousin's wedding is this weekend. She is having it on their horse ranch. She's big into horses and while I believe she is wearing the standard white dress, she is not a girly girl. Their whole family is real laid back and they'd rather be in jeans with mud than at a formal wedding. So, it was no surprise when the invites came and they said, "Ladies, leave your heels at home and wear your best western attire." Here is the thing, I'm not buying cowboy boots for one day, if I did I could still wear a cute sundress and call it a day. So, what would you wear? Do you think jeans are acceptable? It's so difficult to know since MIL says jeans, but she wears Dockers to every other wedding, even formal ones! It's going to be pretty cool it sounds like this Sat. too. I've waited to the last minute since I'm packing for SC and now I only have a few days to figure it out. I was thinking jeans, pair of brown boots, and maybe a button up shirt??
Re: What to wear??
Do you have some sort of skirt/boot/shirt combo that you could pull together? Like, I'm thinking a medium to long plain brown or black or tan skirt with the brown boots and a cute top would be perfectly appropriate. Throw a casual cardigan or scarf in there for warmth, or go for a cute light sweater and I bet you'd be fine.
I mean, jeans might be totally fine, but like you I'd be nervous about actually pulling it off. I think I'd rather be the overdressed one (in a business casual ensemble) rather than the underdressed one feeling like a slob in jeans.
The worst is I'm sure your hubby can pull off jeans since men automatically look nice in jeans, decent shoes, and a plain button down collared shirt. But if a chick wears that it is somehow so much more casual.
I think you could pull off jeans. I have seen some women wearing jeans, with a nice western shirt, cowboy hat, and heals, and they looked great.
I would say if you had some nice boot cut jeans, wear the ankle boots, nice button shirt, and dress it up with the cowboy hat, and I bet it would work. I am sure (by the sounds of the theme of the wedding) there will be other woman their in jeans.
Of course that is what I would do because I am not a dressy person either.
