Another dress question

[oceanchild]

I've now been invited to two weddings toward the end of March. They're totally different circles, and I have no problem wearing the same thing to both, but what to wear? Does that count as winter-ish or spring-ish?

I was thinking something like this: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/i ... dID=503784 (but "inspired by Rachel Ray" - really?)

I like the idea of sleeves, as one of these weddings is in Minnesota, where I imagine it will still be cold.

Other ideas? Figure wise I'm kind of a straight line (ie, not curvy), and my style is definitely more boring than flashy.

Thanks.

Re: Another dress question

I'm crazy for wrap dresses. They are universally flattering and easy to wear. This is a great daytime dress and could be worn to the office or for a dinner out. One thought though, you should determine how formal the weddings are just to be sure it's not too informal.

I love a good wrap dress. It will add curves if you don't have them. And yes, you will want sleeves in Minnesota in March!

Re: Another dress question

I have nothing against wrap dresses but this one seems a bit too officy to me. Unless both weddings are informal, I would go for something a bit fancier. What's your budget?

Aha - my thread lives!

My goal is around $100 or less. And not black.

I like this one a bit better. It is black, but has a pattern, so it isn't boring.

This doesn't have long sleeves but I'm assuming the wedding isn't outside.

Would this be too much for Minnesota?

Re: Another dress question

What time of day are these weddings?

Both evenings. One's at an (indoor) botanical garden, and the other is at a funky art gallery. This is going to put me into two different dresses territory, huh?

Thanks for the ideas! Orange looks terrible on me, but that shape is intriguing.
