The style question I hear the most is "what should I wear to a wedding?" My response is to think about the climate and the venue, because no two weddings are the same, and those can be your best clues as to what's appropriate! This Sunday I attended Ashley's wedding reception. They were married earlier this month up north, and held a casual outdoor BBQ for friends and family to celebrate. I would usually consider a sundress to be too casual for a wedding, but for this reception it was perfect. Above I'm showing you how I would wear it to church or another indoor event, below is how I was planning to wear it, and below that is how I actually wore it (I was exhausted, so I went for flats). I also wanted to show you how adorable Ashley looked in her lace dress and cowboy boots! How do you determine what's appropriate to wear to a wedding?

ps. I originally shared this dress in my shopping post here. I claimed that it reached my knees and I must've been out of my mind because it most definitely does not. It's certainly longer than most F21 dresses (esp. for being a size S) but it's nowhere near my knees. Sorry for being scatter-brained! ;-)
