Wedding season is quickly approaching and it always seems to create such a dilemma for women, WHAT TO WEAR?! Phase Eight has some gorgeous summery dresses on their website now, perfect for a wedding guest outfit. I hadn't been to a wedding until two years ago, my cousins wedding. I simply fell in love with the romance and magical aspect of weddings, it's such an honour to celebrate the love between two people. How many other days of the year do so many people get together to celebrate something happy and positive?
Phase Eight are holding a competition to create the perfect wedding outfit and here's my creation...
This stunning dress is the 'Pauline Frill Dress' (£120.00), I think the colour is perfect for spring/summer weddings, as it's bright and stands out. The shape is really flattering for pear and hourglass figures (I'm pear shape), nipped in at the waist and below the knee. Personally I don't like my legs, so I'm always searching for pretty dresses that cover up the top part of my leg, which this dress does perfect!
I chose the 'Hayden Fascinator' (£59.00), it's stylish yet subtle colour goes well with the bright pink dress. Fascinator's are almost a staple accessory to a wedding guest outfit and I think this one is really pretty.
The clutch handbag is the 'Hope Bow Clutch Bag' (£49.00), the Oyster colour matches perfectly with the fascinator and shoes. Again, it's a subtle colour as to not clash or overpower the bright pink in the dress. The clutch has a little strap if you prefer that option too, which is nice to have the flexibility.
Finally, the 'Tia Filigree Sandals' (£89.00), I love their sophistication and small heel. I've been to two weddings where I've worn really high heels and granted they look really nice but the penguin style walking that seems to take over and the constant look of pain, isn't a good look! I would always go for a smaller heel now and a heel that has little or no risk of slipping off, as these have no risk they're perfect!
What do you think of my Phase Eight Wedding Outfit Creation?
Oh what a great wedding guest outfit..it looks like it would be very flattering on, the wrap around effect takes attention away from the tummy area, so you can eat and drink all you want on the day and yes it would suit a pear or hourglass shape, or someone who wants the hourglass shape as the wrap around would create a waist, its a respectable length, and the v-neck and little sleeves gives it such a glamorous look..great post xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know, I LOVE the dress! It could be dressed up or be a little less formal, which is great! Just waiting for someone I know to get married now :)
