    I’m a big fan of your site. I have a question to pose to you girls. I need help finding the perfect outfit for a wedding weekend in New York City coming up in August. Here’s the deal. I am looking for an outfit for the wedding rehearsal (I’m a bridesmaid) which is in the early afternoon. Then we’re heading to the rehearsal luncheon. Followed is a 5pm bridal shower and then a night out on the town with the girls. These events are all happening on the same day. It will be a busy day and I need something that will not only look pretty, but be really comfortable since we’ll be walking all over NYC…. especially comfortable shoes (no uncomfortable high heels for this one). Can you help me find something that is comfortable without looking too casual, and that will go from noon to nighttime. ????
    Thank you so much!

    Beth, I love this dress and how bright and cheerful it is! For day use I would wear the belt around the waist without the cardigan. And for the evening I would add the cardigan and the belt over the cardigan. Hope you have a blast!

    city-bridesmaid-copyHi Beth!  I found a few dresses that would work and would be easy to accessorize with black shoes and accessories (I particularly love the dress that looks like a top and skirt – it’s the comfort of a dress with the chicness of the blouse/skirt combo!)  The first dress would look great with a cardigan for the evening, and I would put a wrap with the black dress.

    But, then I saw the blue floral dress on Charlotte Russe and fell in love with it.  Unless you’re petite and/or have a supershort torso, then this dress will be too short so I put a white eyelet slip underneath from Vintage Hem and a J.Crew cardigan on top.  I love white in the summertime, and I love how this look is fun and flirty, and would be crazy comfortable.  The shoes may not be comfortable for when you’re having fun out on the town, so stash a pair of cute flats in your bag for that.  Have a great night, it sounds like so much fun!  Love, Emily
