I recently helped my friend accessorize for her son’s wedding. She picked a gorgeous one-shoulder dress and I helped her choose shoes, a bag, and jewelry. It was *so* fun.
If you have a formal event to attend soon, I found a few gorgeous dresses to consider! I love a dress with sleeves so I don’t have to worry about adding a layer for warmth. And for shoes and a bag, a formal event is an easy reason to lean into the silver accessories that are on trend right now.
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen.
The best advice I can give, though, is to find a seamstress or at least a recommendation for one! It can be difficult to find a well-fitting formal gown so having a seamstress you trust to make adjustments is key!
