Well, I’m sorry to say that this Cincinnista has little advice to impart on this post….but more of a complaint! As many of you know, I am getting remarried in July to my amazing fiancee, Tom. As many of us know from experience, with the second time around, so much less emphasis is put on the whole wedding “hoopla” right? I mean who wants a complicated, time consuming, costly event that only a 20 something has the time and energy for! Anyway, still being a very aesthetically oriented, visual person, I want to look great on our special day.
Which brings me to the dress: I refuse to wear a long white gown. We are not getting married in a church, but feel like something summery and white (ish?) would be appropriate. Lord knows I have plenty of black but on my wedding day? Hmmmmmm. My fiancee Tom says I have a great poppy colored cocktail dress that should fit the bill, however, I just still can’t get the need to wear white out of my head. Hence, I’ve been looking for white (or off white) cocktail dresses that would be elegant, yet a bit sexy. My waist line might not be tiny but my legs are still trim so I want at least show them off! So far, I’m having no luck. I did order a light pink lace number online from Neiman Marcus only to look like a bridesmaid from the 80’s. So that round was returned. I google women’s white dresses only to find they are either boring, too long, or too lacy….sorry just not in to this white lace thing.
Well, here’s my final shot: a trendy white off the shoulder dress my Milly. Definitely not your typical wedding dress. But have I ever been typical? Anyway, it’s in the mail now and let’s pray it works! Cheers!
