What I Wore: My Cousin's Wedding.

So I just wanted to post a quick photo from the wedding!  I didn't get too many photos because I was busy socializing grr!!  I realized I didn't get one with my parents or with Michael--and we coordinated!!!!  Oh well, I got ones with my cousin's which is the most important!!  It was a really cool wedding, it was at the Mint Museum here in Charlotte, which was a new experience for me!  I'm more of a classic southern wedding gal myself, but this wedding was perfect for my cousin, she's always been very unique and off the beaten path.  The venue worked surprisingly well I thought!!

I was worried about what to wear for a six o'clock wedding, black tie?  But I learned when in doubt... ASK!  So I did, and I certainly would of been overdressed in a cocktail dress!  I found the dress I wore at Vineyard Vines.  Normally I find it pricey, but the dress was reduced from 165 to 57... So YES I needed it.  I love the blue madras, and I think the laceyness around the color and hem dress it up.  Paired with pearls, my white Jack Rogers, and a Vera Bradley clutch, I was pleased with the result!

Plus my cousin looks beautiful, as does her brother!  Love them!

Hope you're having a nice week so far!!

It's wedding season!!

Oh how a preppy girl loves a good wedding, plus all the festivities that come with it!  Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending my cousin's bridesmaid luncheon + rehearsal dinner!  How fun!  I met lots of new people, lots of cousin's from "the other side" haha, and various people who knew my late Aunt (cousin's mother).  It was lovely!  And today is the big day!  I hope to have some fun photos of the event!  And I'll get to catch up with some family members I haven't seen in a while!

It got me to start thinking about preppy wedding outfits/accessories.  There's certainly a range of dress and style at weddings, so what is proper style for a preppy southern girl?

Easy!!

The outfit should be simple and classy.  (No brastraps, or cleavage showing please!) A simple shift dress or a classic dress with a lovely classic pattern such as seersucker, madras, or florals will do the job.  Add a Cardi, pearls, and Jack Rogers Navajo sandals and you're good to go!  It's an easy look, and a flattering one.  Looking classy at a wedding is super important, after-all it's the brides day!!!

Have a great day!  I'm off to watch my cousin get married!!!
