Earrings: Kenneth Jay Lane

I hope you had a great weekend!  With wedding season around the corner, I wanted to share what I wore to my friend's wedding in Hong Kong (or rather what I planned to wear before the rain made me switch out these shoes for a more waterproof pair...).  As much as I love shopping, when it comes to weddings, I tend to have a few dresses I always reach for, rather than buying a new dress for every wedding.   My dresses tend to be simple and elegant, and I let my accessories stand out.  I bought this dress several months ago during an end of season sale and knew it would be perfect for some of the weddings I had coming up.  The beautiful draped fabric elevates it from a basic LBD into something special.  I paired it with my favorite red shoes and new Kate Spade clutch that I found at Nordstrom Rack for a perfect outfit that I was ready to dance the night away in.

Do you have a go-to wedding outfit?   

Have a great day!

    Your dress is awesome, and I love the fun red heels you chose to pair with it! I really don't have a go-to wedding outfit...because I just don't go to very many weddings!

    First of all you look divine. The dress and shoes are gorgeous and make a huge splash. But then the earrings, clutch and bracelets take it to a whole other level. Unlike you, I usually buy/wear new dresses to weddings, for most of the time. LOL

    Very nice catching up with you Nicole. Enjoy the first week of June!! <3 Ada.

    Great outfit! It looks so much fun for a wedding. And it's cool you went to a wedding in Hong Kong? Are there different Chinese traditions in weddings?

    Love tha clutch - it adds such a fun factor to the outfit. Bummer about the rain and not being able to wear these pretty heels.
