It's wedding season!

For me, this is the year of the wedding. I have been to 2 already this year, was in a wedding this past weekend, and have at least 4 more this year. Thankfully, I have a pretty good supply of dresses for all these events, thanks to the J. Crew warehouse sale that I hit up last year. A few of my faves:

The cotton cady Erica dress

The silk chiffon Evie dress (I have the Sophie version, but it's very similar to this one)

There are several other styles that I love, but alas, I can't really afford these unless I get them at a huge discount (thus, why I LOVE the warehouse sale). I also like to check out Ann Taylor LOFT, Banana Republic, and Anthropologie.

Thinking about dresses got me thinking about my ideal outfits for different kinds of weddings. One of the weddings I'll be attending will be on the beach, which requires a different kind of dress than a more traditional church wedding. So, using www.polyvore.com, I created looks for both kinds of weddings (could I afford all of the pieces here!)

First, the more traditional wedding - I love the color of this dress, and I've got to have something I can dance in and not worry about pulling up constantly! (Granted, the shoes would probably be off my feet about mid-way through the night, but I bet the bride's would be, too, judging from most of the weddings I've been to!) I also think the leaf barrette adds a little flair to a traditional updo.

This look is for the beach wedding in Florida. I would need something light and comfortable, since it's going to be HOT, and I love the colors in this dress. I don't usually wear a lot of jewelry, but these bangles would be fun, and I think these shoes are adorable, although a bit tall for walking in sand (again, those would come off soon!).
