Wedding Wear Wednesday

Remember when I was shopping for some peplum?? Well I caved in and bought this dress that I had posted awhile back.

ASOS Peplum Dress In Floral Print

By the way, these photos are kind of long over due. It's been a crazy couple of weeks!

Beautiful newly wed couple! One of which was my roommate for some time. Thank you for having us!! :)

These are some of my old roommates from college. Everyone one is married and/or a momma! When did we all grow up?!

The friendboy and I...

More photos of the friendboy and I in the photobooth. MUST take photobooth photos!

And I leave you with the silly ones.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!

Wishful Wednesday :: Peplum

I'm still in search of a strapless peplum dress that's not white. I have a couple of weddings to go to and I wanted to wear peplum to the last one in Maui, but just couldn't find the right dress. I don't know what it is but when I am looking for something, I become very specific about how I want it to look. Do you ever get that way? Anyway, two more weddings ahead. One in less than a month!!!

ASOS Floral Peplum

I could go really floral. Or is that too busy for a wedding? And, it's no longer strapless.

Mollie Peplum Dress

During my search, I found THIS!! I don't actually like the above dress in Taffeta. I just had to put this up here because it's kind of funny. Reminds me of the 80s. Makes me feel like I should crimp my hair, spray it down with Aquanet, and put it in a side pony tail. Anyway, moving forward...

Alice + Olivia Victoria Peplum

Maybe I ought to go very conservative? But then again, I like the idea of having no straps/sleeves because it's going to be hot. It's summer!!

Nasty Gal Wrapped Peplum

I thought this was cute too. But that deep V worries me. Especially at a wedding.

Dorothy Perkins Stone Lace Top Peplum

Is this too matronly?

ASOS Bandeau Dress w/ Peplum

This might be a little loud, right? Yeah...

Topshop Peplum Scuba Pencil Skirt

Is that too boring and BLACK for a wedding?


Do you see my dilemma here? Suggestions? See a peplum dress that you think is wedding appropriate in the month of July? Please share. I need some shopping help.
