Hey everyone, I need a bit of help. I’m heading to the wedding of one of my very best friends in a little over a week. (WHEE!) The invitation showed up with a requested attire of “Black Tie Optional” (I knooooooow) … and the wedding is in Houston.
Houston, Texas. In July.*
In an effort to not die from heat exhaustion, I’ve decided to wear this sassy little number:
Nice, right?
So here’s where I need help … I’ve got the dress, NOW WHAT? Seriously, jewelry, shoes, hair … pretty much everything. Do I dark stocking it, or go bare-legged? And do I need a shawl to cover the open back (it’s lower than it looks on the model) for the ceremony (being held in a chapel)?
Gah! Decisions decisions!
Any and all help is appreciated, guys. I’m totally open. A couple of things to keep in mind, though:
1. My hair, in humidity, goes CRAZY. Oh frizz, how I loathe you.
2. I’m staying with the groom/groomsmen (My “roommates” from college!) the night before the
wedding, so my get-ready plan needs to be quick, as there will be one bathroom for the 5 of us.
(Oh, so you mean JUST LIKE COLLEGE?)
3. Because I’m hoping on a plane in 10 days, Etsy ordering is pretty much out of the question. I
KNOW, right?! It gives me the sads.
And that’s about it. So, lovelies … any ideas? How would you rock this at an event where you’ll be with people you haven’t seen in 6 years?** Photos and big thanks to come. =)
* How the EFF is it nearly July?
** And an ex. Who I’m on good terms with, but haven’t actually seen in 2 years. Is it childish of me to say I MUST. LOOK. GOOD?
