Wedding dressing

Another friend is getting hitched in a few weeks and it suddenly dawned upon me i need something to wear to the wedding.

Dressing up for someone's wedding a task full of possible pit falls and faux pas.
There's so much to keep in mind.

To not upstage the bride, never-never wear white....or black (but some argue nowadays you may get away with it, especially if it's an evening do). Not too short, especially for religious ceremonies...and argh, need to still look good because hey, you never know if there's good looking cousins/friends of the groom about.

The recent summer wedding was easy- a random prom-style, sleeveless floral navy blue dress with bright leggings and sky-high wedges and pretty hair accessories did it. Nothing was new, all the stuff i kinda had lying about. I even wore it to buy bagels the next day.

For this one, since it's a malay wedding...oooh, it's hard. I've ordered a bandeau floor length maxi dress in black to wear with a hot pink kabaya top. Only problem is the chest area of the dress is in black sequins. Hmmm. Black and possibly shinier than the bride. We'll see. Im making an effort because apparently the groom has hot cousins. Im so one-track-minded, it's sad. At least there's not gonna be booze or a bouncy castle, so im not gonna get myself in trouble.

Im keeping the make-up simple, i promise.

Later:

Guess what? I've found the perfect mirrored patent leather wedges to wear with the dress. Can't wait. I'll drive myself to broke-ness if i keep this up for all the weddings i will eventually attend [that doesnt mean you shouldn't invite me, it just means i need to rewear things :( ]
