 What to wear when dressing for a winter wedding:
DO:
  • Dress for the location; wear a luxurious coat or jacket with fur accents
  • Accessorize with scarfs, gloves and a fabulous hat
  • Wear tights to keep warm
  • Wear boots or closed toed shoes
  • Wear tea length or knee length dresses in rich fabrics like velvet or long floral prints to add drama
  • Add a faux fur bolero jacket to a sleeveless dress
  • Wear wintry colors like burgundy, plum , with accents in forest green
  • Wear sparkling jewelry that contrast with your dress like a sparkly hair accessory
  • Wear layers so that you can remove a few pieces in order to dance the night away
Don’t:
  • Wear plunging necklines, sequins or high slight dresses. Save those for a holiday party.
  • Wear bright red, yellow or orange. They are more spring related then winter
  • Wear white, no matter how cute you think you or the dress looks. It is just rude
  • Wear goddy attire or jewelry. You don’t want to look like a part of the decor
  • Wear open toes, part of the ceremony may have you outside walking to the snow
  • Dress in khakis or anything to casual

Stealing from the Boys



This necktie was calling my name. So I wore it to an informal meeting at my church. Such a playful gesture but I wore it with a some attitude.  I felt artsy and creative but ready for business. It is funny how stepping out of your fashion comfort zone can be fun. I pulled this boyish look together with an untucked white button down and a blue velvet vest that I picked up for $5.99 at New York & Company.
