Two of our very best friends got married this past weekend in Kansas City. It was such a beautiful wedding for an even more beautiful couple. You know those friends you have that you can always count on to be there, or can call them up on a whim for a weekend away or impromptu date night? Well they are that for Tristan and I, and we couldn't be more thankful for their friendship.
I knew I wanted to get a new dress for their wedding and all of the festivities, but I didn't feel like breaking the bank. One of my favorite stores in college was Forever 21. I always could find so many cute things at such affordable prices. I hadn't shopped their in awhile but decided to browse online at their dresses. I was stunned, they had SO MANY CHOICES!
I ended up ordering three dresses (oops) and was planning to only keep my favorite for the wedding, and one for the rehearsal. I ended up keeping all three (again, oops!).
This one was perfect for the rehearsal. I loved that it was flowy and played into the cold shoulder trend with the lace. I have a feeling I will wear this dress time and time again!
For the wedding I was left with two options. Blue navy lace, or black lacy dress. I ended up going with the black lacy dress because I felt like it was more formal. I got SO many compliments on it and people were shocked to find out it was only $28 from Forever 21. When I find such a good deal, I can't help but share it with all of you- so do yourself a favor and go buy this dress! You won't regret it. I am wearing a size small and was happy with how it fit me.
Just please, whatever you do, DO NOT wear white to a wedding. Or any type of wedding event- bridal shower, engagement party, rehearsal dinner- just don't do it :) The only exception is if it is requested by the bride.
XOXO, Jenny
