Okay, I am obsesssssssed with your fashion blog. And I also love your taste. So I am asking your opinion! I got this gold Milly dress for a very fancy blk-tie NYC wedding I have on May 1 (http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/62122). Here is my question. Can I also wear it to a Amelia Island (northern Florida) wedding in April? (It's my husband's little bro's wedding; I am not in the wedding party but will be in lots of family pics, etc.) That wedding is not black tie, but the bridesmaids are wearing long navy dresses and it's dressy. I was thinking maybe with gold Jack Rodgers flat sandals and my hair in a styled pony tail, maybe this dress wouldn't feel TOO dressy? Thoughts? I just don't want to look, you know, over the top and uber-glitzed out.
First of all, I am beyond in love with that dress! Seriously I want to marry it and have its babies. So clearly I recommend wearing it more than once.
Only a couple questions that would inform my advice:
1) is this a daytime or nighttime wedding?
2) indoor or outdoor?
I think the maxi flowy-ness is great for Florida, but if it's a more casual daytime wedding than the gold may be too much. But if it's nighttime and indoor and fancy (full length gowns on bmaids = fancy to me), I think flats may be too casual.
Plus, if you're wearing the dress with heels in NYC, I'm guessing it's too long to be worn with flats, and you'll be tripping all over yourself. I would recommend a cute heeled sandal. A heel never hurt anyone. But if it's outdoor, there's the whole sinking into the ground with a heel issue and then I would recommend flats.
As for hair, I think a nice softly waved down look would be a more casual look. Though I am a fan of styled ponytails for weddings, but it has to be styled! No just pulling it back with a rubberband.
But I can definitively say you are going to be so gorgeous in that dress! Good thing it's sold out or else I'd have to buy it for myself... :)
