My turn

The longer silk skirt and wrap top, right? And I will also happen to be right by the edge of a river!

I like the Boden ones best. I'm going to go shopping next weekend and if I don't find something similar or that I like, I'll order those and compare (and maybe post photos if I feel brave).

Anthropologie doesn't have the dress in the stores.

Yep, that's the one.

After trying on a bunch of different things today, I found a dress. It is similar to this but doesn't have the black band on the bottom hem. And I think the bust is different too -- no twist at all to the fabric, it is straight across the top. Let the push-up marathon commence.

[ETA: see photo below

I also got a black shrug to wear over it. It's not perfect, but of the 4 that I tried it is the one I like best.

Now I need shoes. I tried shoes like this and will probably do something similar?


And a necklace.

And this is the part where I blame Kelly. :tsk: The guilt is getting to me so I might have to take it back but I also got this skirt for the dinner we have in a few weeks.

Really like the dress. My only concern with the shoe is that an ankle strap tends to cut off the line of your leg and brings attention to the ankle. If you have long legs and slim ankles it shouldn't be a problem though.

you are going to look INCREDIBLE! Please have Bryn take a picture of the lovely couple!

Once I get shoes, I'll have her take a photo.

Vishenka, I am blessed with skinny ankles but not necessarily long legs. The shoes w/ ankle straps looked pretty good when I tried them. I'm drooling over a pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes on ebay. If I sell enough other stuff on ebay, I'll probably cave and buy them....if they are still there.

Don't you just love it when they let you dress up and leave the house once a year.

Who's they?

I think she means my kids.
