since it’s wedding week, i figured i’d do a wedding edition for what i wore wednesday. i’m not getting married any time soon {haha!}, so these are a couple outfits i would wear to attend a wedding. wedding’s are a celebration and i love to dress up! be sure to jump over to lindsey’s blog for more inspiration!
this first outfit is kind of my go-to fancy dress. i got it on sale at anthro for $35 and it’s super comfortable. i paired it with anthro boots, belt that i’ve had forever and a cardi that steve brought me from scotland. the flower pin was a gift from debbie and shea {a gilded life}
this dress was an exciting find from ruby rose–only $18 and so sweet! it’s vintage, probably from the 50’s? I paired it with the same belt and boots and a target cardi. the colors in the dress were hard to match, but it’s okay to blend colors that are fun–everything doesn’t have to be matchy matchy.
i think every girl should have a dress that makes her feel pretty.
do you have a go-to dress-up outfit? tell us about it!
Here in Australia “fancy dress” means costume. I remember inviting an American friend who was living here for a couple of years along to a fancy dress party and she turned up in her best dress when everyone else had come as superheroes, fairytale characters and clowns! And we supposedly speak the same language!
I love going to weddings, such a celebration. You look lovely.
LOVE THOSE DRESSES!
YOU LOOK FABULOUS!
I ONLY WISH I COULD FIT IN SOMETHING SO CUTE AS THOSE.
THANKS FOR ALWAYS INSPIRING (:
that 1st dress? so girly. love it!
I need to get some dresses for several weddings I have coming up (like 8) so I am inspired. Four of the weddings will have all the same attendees so I have to get at least 4 different dresses!
Um.. right now I don’t have a go to dress but I’d love your anthro one! That is a beautiful dress!! You always look so nice!
love the dress with cardi and boots! also love your curly hair!
i love both of those outfits! you’ve got me wanting a pretty dress now. 🙂
I love those dresses! and I totally agree – you need to own something that makes you feel pretty.
Agreed! I LOVE your outfits, can’t say which one I like the best, they are both so adorable!!!

SO CUTE! Love the flower pin, love the floral dress! Super fun!
Love the vintage dress!
I LOVE that anthro dress! That whole outfit is stunning! 🙂
These posts aren’t good for me, lol. I’m thinkin I need a new cute dress for a wedding coming up in May.
I love both of those dresses…you really truly know how to dress for your body…you always look so beautiful!
Your vintage dress is sooo pretty! You look amazing in it!

You are completely adorable!
I am currently hosting a Royal Wedding Wear GIVEAWAY featuring reader bridal gowns, hats, veil and engagement rings. I’d love for you to link up.
Past posts are ok.
I love the first dress! Very pretty!
Your floral dress is sooooo pretty! I love it when you find pretty outfits unexpectedly 🙂
I like the flower dress a lot …but I guess that whatever you wear it looks good 🙂
haha! thank you, but no, not everything looks good on me! i really try to dress for my shape and compexion.
Oh boy, I LOVELOVELOVE your outfits, especially pink rose dress!! I desperately need something for an August wedding and bridal shower for my niece, but because of being a size 18 can’t find anything cute and stuff looks soooo terribly matronly. Guess I better get on my treadmill!!
I LOVE that ruffled dress in your first photo. And only $35? A steal!
Being a stay at home momma I dont “dress up” a ton but we do put on our Sunday best for church each week so I get my fill of skirts and dresses. My favorite go-to outfit is a wrap dress that I found at the thrift store(a Target brand dress) and my Brown Kady boots(Target,last year). with a long cream cardigan over the dress. Its one outfit that I feel really comfortable in.
XO,
Sarah
You are SO cute!
I want both of those outfits! I’m way more comfortable in dresses and flowy skirts than anything.
<3 you
I just love your style, I always enjoy seeing these posts! I’m hoping to hit the Anthro clearance rack sometime after discovering we have one in Nashville. 🙂
I love to dress up! I never wear jeans….I don’t know why because there are really cute jeans out there! Dressing up makes me feel good. Sometimes when I don’t feel good about myself…having a bad hair day or whatever, I always try and dress up. I have a little girl that Loves to wear dresses! Lisa…..I love your blog! You inspire me! I love how you take a ton of pictures, I love how you have such a network of friends! Thanks, Lisa! You always make my day!
Adorable! Both outfits!! I agree with the not matchy matchy & Target is a great go-to for the cute inexpensive cardi….
here’s my “what i wore wednesday” question: who snaps your cute pictures? (or maybe you’ve covered that already….)
Have a great week & week-end…..
What I’m wearing so far this Wed…..Nick & Nora snow globe pj’s…

Hi Chris-Ann! I use a tripod and set my camera on it. And yes, my family mocks me when I do it 😉
I think the green cardi goes great with the soft pinky/peach colors! I actually really like not-so-coordinating outfits, it’s more creative! When I was younger I was so obsessed with matching– to the point where it was a little overkill. Now I’m even pairing black with brown [gasp!]
I have a few Anthro & Shabby Apple dresses that I’ve gotten through the years, those are my dress ups. My 4 or 6 go to dresses have served every purpose- beach wedding, beach weddign rehearsal, small church wedding, rehearsal, company dinner party, bat mizvah…you name it!
I really dislike dressing up! If I have to it’s usually a simple cotton sun dress. This time of year in WI though, it’s usually black dress pants and a pretty sweater! I prefer simple looks.
Happy Wednesday!
