Wedding Wear... Day one.

With many weddings coming up this summer, I wanted to find an appropriate "wedding dress". These weddings range from formal evening weddings to morning outdoor weddings. My hopes is to find a dress that will be appropriate for all of these, and maybe even versatile enough to spill into other areas of my wardrobe.

Day 1 of shopping:

I have this idea in my head of what this dress should look like, and obviously its blue. I was looking for something in a thick satin (like a prom dress). Short, but not too short. Pretty and sexy, yet still moderately modest. Blue must be a big color this season, because there was no shortage of blue dresses.

This was the first dress I tried on. Honestly I absolutely love it!!! It fits great, the length is great, the cut is adorable... But... it seemed a bit too "prom dress" for a wedding. The last thing I want to do is look like I am trying to weasel my way into the wedding party. And I have no clue where else I'd be able to wear this dress. But so far, it is the cheapest. What do you guys think?



The next dress I tried on looked great. It hugged all my curves in all the right ways. The shade of blue was gorgeous against my dark hair and the style was conservative enough to wear to business functions and work with a blazer thrown over top. This one did come in at that top of the budget, but it is stunning. My only complaint, it did gape a bit in the back, but it wasn't that noticeable.
This last one ALMOST came home with me. It was the last dress I tried on for the day. It was a very reasonable price and a nice cut. The fabric was very soft, yet very durable. The cut was modest, and with the rushing across the breast, it was very flattering. (as I'm typing this, I kinda wish I would have gone ahead and purchased it). It was dressy enough for a wedding, date night or any fancy event, but I think if I put a pair of sandals with it I could have worn it as a sun dress... maybe.

The hubbs and I are driving to ATL to be with my parents this weekend. We plan to stop at the Georgia Mall and take a look around. Maybe I will find a suitable dress.

What do you guys think. Am I headed in the right direction?
