When dressing for a wedding weekend, it is important to ask yourself these questions:

1. Is it an afternoon or nighttime wedding?
2. Is the reception indoors or outdoors?
3. Was the attire specified on the invitation?

If the ceremony is in the afternoon, more casual attire is acceptable. If she’s walkin’ down the aisle past 6 pm, a cocktail dress is the least you can do. The shoes for an indoor wedding are probably very different than the shoes you would wear to an outdoor wedding. And finally, when in doubt, go all out! I would much rather be the over dressed girl than the underdressed guest.

This dress by Adelyn Rae is simply chic! The hip hugging silhouette is ultra flattering and the lace fabric could pass as couture. Plus, it is thick enough that it still provides full coverage. As far as the straps, it is a huge bonus for a petite girl when they are adjustable. I am happy to report this dress has just that! The length is suitable for tall or short gals, but if you are under 5′ 2″, wear your nude heels to lengthen the appearance of your legs. See you on the dance floor!

There are a lot of things to consider when dressing for a wedding. To begin, check the forecast. There is nothing worse than over heating or freezing your behind off. Second of all, research the venue. Is the space dressy or casual? Will you be indoors or outdoors? What is the terrain? Will your stiletto heels sink in the grass? It sounds like a lot of work, but if you were invited to the wedding then the bride and groom are either relatives or good friends of yours. Ain’t nobody got time to be uncomfortable during the celebratory event! Plus, it’s way easier to find such answers nowadays. Rather than texting the bridezilla bride regarding your outfit, check out the venue and what guests were wearing on Instagram. From the app, simply tap the search box and then hit “places.” Type in the venue name and a slew of photos will populate. Reason number 9,559 to download Instagram.

Now that you know how to do your research, let’s get to the outfit details. I know I know it’s 2017 and the chances are greater than ever that the bride will not be wearing a white gown. Regardless, do not test your luck. Stay clear of all things white. I often dress in jewel tones and so far so good. But even if your color choice is limited, it does not mean you should dress untrue to you. Rather than a statement garment, gravitate towards accessories. In other words, do not show up wearing an avant-garde dress with leg-o’-mutton sleeves. Keep the dress and/or skirt simple, and go all out with the shoes, jewelry or hair.

Today we feature a cobalt jumpsuit. This piece truly exemplifies what I am trying to convey. It is simply chic and will not overshadow the bride. With the right details, this little number is a showstopper! When working with a bold hue, it is very fashionable to stick with a monochrome scheme. How do you like the matching cobalt pom pom earrings?! Act now because they are 50% off until Thursday at Baublebar. If you do not have shoes in the same color, nude is always a safe choice as seen here. Now send in your RSVPs and get shoppin’ for that wedding guest attire!

After brunch last week with blogger gals Jenna and Stefanie, we jumped at the opportnity to see the merchandise in person at “The Stylist SF.” Located at 1980 Union Street, this popup shop is packed with festive attire perfect for your New Year’s Eve celebration. My featured dress is a beautiful geo sequin number by the popular designer, Adelyn Rae. It dazzles in all of the right places and the long sleeves make it comfortable for December wear. I paired it with nude pumps although black would work also. My friend Jenna stunned in a beaded shift and OTK boots. We are officially party ready! Order your NYE outfit by 3 pm PST Wednesday and ring in the new year in style!
