some fashion advice, please {and the lucky lady}
My cousin is getting married in just a few weeks {see her darling invitations here} and we are all so excited.
What is a fun party without a new fun party dress, right? {at least that is what I’m telling Ryan}.
But I need some help … and I have a few considerations to think about before selecting a dress:
1. The wedding is outside. In October. In Washington. Hopefully we’ll get one of our gorgeous fall days when the sky is blue and the leaves are turning – but that also means the air will be crisp. So I need to wear something that will be warm-ish. I’d prefer sleeves.
2. We’ll be walking on grass, so pointy heels will be challenging. I’d like to wear my brown boots, so the dress needs to be nice enough for a wedding, but casual enough to wear with boots.
3. The bridesmaids are wearing navy. I’m loving navy right now, but I don’t want to look like that girl who is trying to be part of the wedding party even though I am not.
Here are a few dresses I like and I’d love your opinion.

My fave so far is that dotted one. My sister thinks it might look like a sack. It is navy, but at least it has dots.

What do you think about a fun skirt & blouse? Too weird? And I love the red dress, but it doesn’t have sleeves and I’d need a sweater. Hmm …

These are both cute. I wasn’t wanting black, but I like the ruffle neckline. And I love that lace one {although it is nearly $300} and lace is not necessarily a warm material …

Please help me! I’d love to hear what you think or any other suggestions you might have.

I think the green Zara dress will look amazing on you, the green will go great with your hair.
My second choices would be the red dress.
Let us know what you picked.
