If you’ve been following my instagram HERE you’ll know that I frequently rock long gowns to winter weddings.
It’s something about sleek glamorous silhouettes that seem apropos for a sit-down dinner of 10-courses with bottomless toasting of bubbly in-between. Dressing for the occasion could get a bit tricky when I am merely a plus one where I’m neither friends nor family with the married couple.
My mantra for wedding wear in these cases:
The closer the acquaintance, the longer the length.
Thank god for my trusty Zara sequin shift. Can you believe I thrifted this beauty at my local Goodwill? One man’s trash becomes my total treasure honey!
The formula: Bold color + Cocktail length + Bling Bling= One haute ensemble!
How do you navigate the treacherous waters of what to wear at weddings???

What a lovely dress. Definitely good for weddings because it's not as extravagant as wedding dresses but still demands plenty of attention. Plus, it's spot-on with modern style. I like your leopard coat, also. Good mix.
