Y’all, TGIT (Thank goodness it’s Tuesday)! Between the time change, possibility of a snowstorm in the mountains and hours of travel, I can’t even begin to tell y’all how happy I am that Monday is behind us. During my work conference yesterday, it started to lightly snow and a small feeling of panic began to set in my head and the pit of my stomach. I started to worry that I would have to travel again to complete the work conference training, that my dog sitter wouldn’t be able to watch my pup for extended days, that we would be stuck in town without a weekend hotel reservation and so on. After worrying myself up and down for about an hour, I finally look outside and realized how blessed I was to witness snow at the place at this time in this way. Thought the snow didn’t stick and isn’t a real threat to anything here or home, I felt so foolish spending time worrying about a problem that didn’t come to life. Does anyone else get this way? I’m trying to kick that habit this year and get my positive thoughts reinforced in my head as much as possible.
So if you’re anything like me (millennial, recentish grad, 20’s), you have probably been receiving tons of Save-the-Dates, bridal party invites, baby shower invites and so on. We are about to enter the major wedding and party season and like everyone else, finding the perfect outfit to wear to these events (especially weddings and engagement parties) can be a true struggle. Many times my friends are wondering if the wedding attire rules apply such as: not wearing white, not wearing the colors of the wedding, not wearing sequins/sparkles, and so on – with no real explanation. However, instead of worrying about what we “can’t” wear, I am trying to get myself and my friends focused on what we can wear. When I found this scallop fitted dress at PinkBlush, it immediately caught my eye for the perfect spring celebratory event dress. The color is perfect for spring and the scallop details add a hint of ultra feminine chic. With the fit, I chose to size up and have room to spare versus going for the form fitting style. In this post a few months ago I talked more about why I chose to size up most of the time for a looser fit of trendy, fit styles. I also wanted to snag this dress because it can easily be worn for date night or a night on the town with friends. With my #1 fashion rule: Rule of 3, I only get clothing items that I can think of at least 3 different places/occasions to wear that item before adding it into my wardrobe. I just ordered these rockstud heels about two weeks ago and think they are the perfect hint of fun and style to add to this look. With my favorite silver accessories such as my KS watch and DY cuffs, I am ready for this season of weddings, bridal showers, engagements parties and more. What are some attire rules y’all have heard about attending weddings? If you have heard of some, do you think those same rules apply when going to wedding related events? I would love to know your thoughts! Leave me a comment and let me know how you go about getting around the many wedding and related celebratory events attire rules. -xo, Azanique <3
