This sparkly skirt is actually a dress. Not just any dress, no. This was what my bridesmaids wore in our wedding. I loved the dress so much that I got one for myself and I don't get to wear it nearly as often as I'd like to. So, I wore it to work and dressed it down with a denim shirt. Kinda schmancy but it works for me!
Oh, and here's a picture of some of my bridesmaids in the dress:
Before you say anything, let me just admit that the dress is the first thing I'd change in our wedding.
In theory it was great, but they didn't photograph well in the daylight (when our group shots were taken). In fact, they looked a lot more like trash bags than they did elegant gowns of glory.
Aaaand, I'm pretty sure my bridesmaids hated me for choosing that dress so that's another reason I'd change it.
Sorry ladies! I promise I wasn't trying to make you look bad!
But hey, I was 19 and didn't know any better. Whoops!
Have a great thanksgiving y'all!
how adorable! is this space where you work? because i LOVE it! and the dress is cute too- where are your wedding pictures?! i want to see you in all your 19 yr old goodness! love the outfit too (:
ReplyDeleteok i don't get it. i LOVE the dress!!!!! At least you didnt make them look like a crinoline lady toilet roll holder!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to see all the wedding pics!
Your hair looks so pretty like that!
ReplyDeleteCan I point out the elk on your wall and how I desperately want it? I've been wanting one for years! That thing is awesome! Also, I forgot how wonderful your bridesmaids dresses were! Love them! And, LOVE that you paired yours with a denim shirt. Super cute.
ReplyDeleteI love that you paired it with the denim shirt! Such a cute look! :) We are all so silly at 19! But I think they looked adorable!
ReplyDeleteAt least its a dress they could wear again and I'm guessing it didn't cost that much so that is another plus!
ReplyDeleteI think the dresses look good! and it looks great the way you've styled it :) xx

So creative! A good way to tone down the shiny sequins.

First off, your outfit rocks! I love that the dress does double duty as a skirt. Second, the bridemaids dresses. I have been going crazy trying to find dresses my bridesmaids will love, but in the end, it's just one day, and I'm sure my friends will still love me even if they hate their dress.

It's too bad they didn't photograph well, I think they're really cute. I got married at 19 too, and I've been talking about renewing our vows because there is SOOO much I would change about the wedding we had. I just had NO idea what I was doing haha.
ReplyDeleteIt´s great! Love paillettes!
