WHAT TO WEAR: A WINTER WEDDING

This weekend I'll be attending my first ever winter wedding (not usually a popular choice up here in the Northwest!), so I've been flipping through my closet trying to create a look that balances a bit of holiday sparkle without going over the top. Something like this...

I like to shy away from dark colors for weddings unless the invitation says black tie, so for winter it seems like jewel tones or muted neutrals are the two best options. When I spotted this Halston dress, it immediately struck me as a perfect style for a casual wedding because of its jersey fabric with a little shimmer. Keeping with a tone-on-tone palette, the accessories add some fancy sparkle and beautiful texture! Who wouldn't feel fabulous draped in this goodness?!

    Beautiful!! You know, I have yet to go to a winter wedding!! Can you believe it? Every single wedding I've attended/been in has taken place in the summer, spring, or fall...

    I adore that dress---shimmery loveliness!

    I had the same dilemma and finally landed on this gold dress from Miguelina: http://thevoguecity.com/wp-content/uploads/images/Miguelina2-1811538.jpg

    With black patent platforms, tights and a vintage clutch I figure I'll be set for a new year's wedding in Seattle!
