Wedding Wear





necklace c/o Cheerfully Charmed  Dress: Next (similar here and here *love the emerald green  )

So this would be my ideal wedding attendee outfit...
I had every intention of wearing this exact outfit for the full day/night at S's friends wedding in his hometown..
But I ended up taking off the necklace because of the stares..
In S's small town, big hats=yes  big necklaces=confused
This blogger trend has apparently not made it to the rural country part of Northern Ireland,
and as much as I typically love screaming "HI I'M AN AMERICAN AND A BLOGGER LETS BE FRIENDS"
this just wasn't the moment for making a statement.

Can I talk about how these two items are my new favorites though?
I know the bubble necklace infiltrated the system awhile ago,
but o.m.g is it fun to wear and pair with outfits.
I typically am a delicate jewelry wearer, but I might be converted.

And this dress...
I felt so fancy in it..
The train was way too much fun,
and it made me feel really feminine and elegant.
More importantly, I got to wear it WITHOUT a jacket..
because this was the ONE day in about three weeks that it didn't rain and was warm.
Victory.

And in case you are wondering,
S and I ROCKED the Ceilidh.
At one point we heard a few people say "Oh they have done this before."

No my friends,
we haven't.
Who knew an American could rock an Irish/Scottish jig?
Just doing my country proud.
Next i'll be rocking a Ceilidh WITH a bubble necklace on.
LOOK OUT.

  1. That outfit is simply beautiful. Aww and that Irish dance sounds fun...we have a similar one in Wales called 'twmpath'...it's always popular at weddings and good to get everyone on the dancefloor! xx

  4. first, hi, I'm back to blogging :) Second, that outfit is so pretty...don't understand what is so confusing about the necklace. I would've kept it on! Big hats, on the other hand...well.

  5. okay, we're wedding attire twins!! i wore the exact ASOS dress you linked to to a beach wedding barely a month ago!! the hi lo cut is so flattering and perfect for a summer wedding, if you ask me, which no one did, but i'll tell you anyway. i woulda left the necklace on though. i welcome stares of confusion and judgment.

    CupackesOMG!

  6. You look adorable. In my reader, you and momma loves papa (www.mamalovespapa.com) came up one after another, so strange, she doing a giveaway of a necklace just like this one.

  11. Oh, my. What would have happened if you had a big hat AND a big necklace? Pandemonium. ;-)

  14. I love your dress. It's so pretty! :) The train looks so fun and fancy! And I probably would have taken the necklace off too, if I felt people staring...awkward!

  15. Well someone looks BRILL. I missed Next (and RIver Island, Top Shop, New Look, etc).

  16. I love this outfit, you look so pretty! These necklaces are definitely a statement, they are meant to be noticed, but I wasn't expecting people to be so surprised by them. I got the same stares when I wore the turquoise one to my office. They just don't get it. :)

  17. You are just so gorgeous. I bet they were staring at your beauty going, "USA has it going on."

    Is there a video of the Ceilidh? That would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete

  18. i'd so prefer the necklace over the hat. hmmm, this trend needs to be shown more and talked about more...guess you are not blogging enough. LOL

    xoxo

  19. I absolutely love that dress! Unfortunately, in addition to not being able to wear yellow, I also have legs akin to a corgi. Not.Flattering. Until these stubs of legs magically grow, I'll just have to live this dress through you :)

  20. I agree with Bridget. Where is the video? And yes.. you do look hot.

    ReplyDelete

  21. We need a video stat. And you're look hot.

  22. So pretty! Can I borrow it?! :) You wear that bubble necklace and tell those people that they'd know what's up if they blogged!

    ReplyDelete

  24. that blogger necklace could be a weapon in a ceilidh if it hit you in the face.

    and love your outfit especially the blogger necklace. you look so pretty :)

    ReplyDelete

  25. Ohhh you should have kept it on! ;)

    Love the whole ensemble. I have yet to grab up one of those lovely bauble necklaces. I think I may need to soon...or I just won't be up to speed.

    Cheers.

  26. Looking so feminine, I love it. I'm loving those styles of dresses and kinda got one of my own, with stripes that is longer in the back. Any hoo, I can't wait to wear it.

    I'm glad you were able to fully wear it without a coat. Coat would have taken so much away!!
