What to wear to a wedding (or three)
This post is prompted by Misspotsit's post about appropriate wedding atire for guests. In 2013, three of my friends are getting married. Each occassion is different and requires a different dress style so I thought it would be nice to ponder a bit on my clothing options.
1st wedding: Marleen, may 2013
A spring wedding from a highschool friend. This will be an easy one: no dress code, so I go with this dress:
and a vest or jacket on top, paired with nice heels and jewelry
2d wedding: Annelies, august 2013
One of my intermediate students/friends, who is having her wedding in the backyard of her fathe rin law and is doing everything low key. no heels for me, probably a nice cotton dress + flats
3th wedding: Ikaiya, September 2013
I am her best men and one of the mistresses of ceremony, meaning that I need something practical to run around in inbetwen things, and a victorian gown in red and purple for the ceremony and party. Chances are that I have to drive a car and lots of practical things, a nice dress and comfy shoes for that occassion. For the victorian dress I need to sketch a design and plan the making off, have to finish it in june/july because august is probably stuffed to the brim.
Bonus!! Pictures of pretty dresses!
I haven't posted much about my wardrobe in the past year, probably because I got quite settled in my office style outfits and such. Looking at pretty dresses always cheers me up, I uploaded a couple of pictures from the dresses that I bought in the past three months for everyday/ofice wear. Enjoy!
Red crepe chiffon dress: easy to wear with black leggings, pumps and a colbert for work, or with high heels for a party. Doesn't wrinkle, light and easy to transport. Suprisingly flattering.
geisha dress! I love this, coton and bright flower print. I wear it with my purple jacket to work, and with impractical high heels for a dressed up thing. The bustline is not very flattering but hey, amazing color scheme, print and details. Who'd say no to that :-)

I'm invited to a wedding in NL in August, but I think it's a little unlikely that I'll be able to go :( I don't think travelling with a 1,5 month of baby is a good idea and I'm not sure I'll be able to 'let go' and go on my own. Sucky timing!
