what to wear: late summer wedding

You have an August wedding to attend and you’re sick of your current stand-by dress for such occasions. What to wear when fall is around the corner but you still need to dress for the summer weather? Here’s a great ensemble that works now and later.
Stretch cotton dress in a vibrant blue. Sure, it comes in black but this blue is perfect for warm days and the style looks good on small-busted hourglasses, rectangles, or triangle silhouettes. If you have broad shoulders and a larger bust, I’d stay away.
Pair the dress in an analogous harmony with these gi-normous peacock feather earrings from Betsey Johnson and this cute green wicker clutch that is now half off.
For shoes, check out these Reese heels by the new line, Dana Davis, which was made specifically for women with bad feet. Her shoes are outrageously comfortable — and you certainly pay for it — but, most of the styles are hip so it makes it worth the expense. (So much cuter than Taryn Rose in my opinion.)
And, if you’re looking for the perfect summery eyeshadow that is easy to apply and works for any skintone, check out the Glimmer Boomstick by Cindy Joseph. It is this great champagne-y color that isn’t over the top sparkly – super neutral and lovely. It’s been my go-to for the last year so I thought I’d share the love.

I adore that blue dress, but the link isn’t working for me. Where can I get it?
It should be working. Sometimes closing the wardrobe911 bar at the top of the new page works. It’s at Nordies.
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, where can I find a dress like this in Canada (specifically Toronto)?
Hi Andrea! I don’t! Maybe Holt-Renfrew? I would check to see if Nordstroms ships to Canada as that may be the easiest.
Just recently discovered this blog and I LOVE IT. For the fashionably inept I love having outfits put together for occasions.
I have two weddings–one late September at 3pm and one early October at 7pm. Would this be appropriate for both of the weddings if I changed the accessories. If not, do you have any recommendations for fall weddings? Thanks!
This is a beautiful look!!!! LOOOOVE the color of the dress, and wouldn’t have thought about the peacock feather earrings if I hadn’t seen it put together this way. Beautiful!
