Changeup (See Jane Switch)
I really struggled with finding a dress for my wedding rehearsal dinner. I think I bought about four dresses until my friend sent me a link with this French Connection number. I just received it yesterday (some of you may have seen the pics I posted on twitter) and am definitely keeping it!
Although I’ll be keeping it simple for the rehearsal dinner in Mexico with flats and minimal accessories (due to the sheer heat), I’m already thinking of how else I’ll be wearing it this summer. Here are some ways I plan to wear it after the wedding with similar items I already have in my closet:
Dressy
Alice + Olivia Blazer (I’ll wear my H&M version seen here)
Casual
Uniqlo Military Hooded jacket (I have this jacket, worn here)
SO glad you are keeping the dress, it looks gorgeous on you! And I love the idea of the casual look for another time! Those pieces would work so well together!!
That dress is gorgeous and so glad you decided to go with it. It's perfect and you can get so much use out of it in the summer.
It's soooooo dang cute! And you can wear it so many ways afterwards! Love that Alice+Olivia blazer and wish H&M still had yours 🙂
i adore that dress! its so pretty and the perfect shade of blush! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
That dress is gorgeous and so perfect for your rehearsal dinner. The Dressy combination is perfect for the rehearsal and the casual version is a great opportunity to wear it after the wedding is over!
