If you’ve got a wedding coming up, you’ve come to the right place! With summer winding down and fall just around the corner, wedding season is about to heat up even more. At 39, I’ll admit I don’t have that many weddings to attend at the moment, but when I spotted this dress last month I bought it without hesitation. I figured an occasion would come up where I’d have a chance to bust it out! There’s got to be a fundraiser, gala or cocktail party I’ll end up going to this season in New York, and this dress will have its moment to shine. With my slightly darker tresses and a fresh bronze glow from summer, I’m actually really loving this olive color on me. It’s not a shade of green I ever thought much about before with platinum blonde hair, but I do think it complements my coloring well these days!
The mirrored paillette sequins on this dress are such a dazzling detail! I love how they catch the light. The simple boat neckline is incredibly flattering, and the cowl draping in the back is an elegant and unexpected touch. Last but not least, you certainly won’t miss the straps in the back that float and dance in any sort of breeze! So dreamy! This dress promptly sold out in most sizes within just a few days, but there is still an XS available here – I’m wearing the small for reference.
