WEDDING SEASON: The Perfect Wedding Guest Look!
Yes it's around that time of year when you have a stack of wedding invites and potential dresses you need! It's always a pain in the ass trying to figure out a dress that is not skanky but still makes you seem a little sexy, especially if you're a single lady at the wedding. Follow the these tips and you'll be sure to look super sass and stylish as a wedding guest!
1. Where is the wedding???
This is super important, I mean so much revolves around the atmosphere and location. For example, you're probably not going to want to wear a heal to a wedding that's outside on a lawn (you shoe will get stuck in the grass gf!). Make sure what you wear will make you comfortable at the location, like wear a wedge to that outside lawn wedding!
Also your dress matters too. For example don't wear a maxi dress at a wedding outside (dirt, grass stains). In fact I don't reccomend a maxi dress because drunks asses spill drinks on the floor and your super cute maxi dress is going to sweep that crap up like a high school janitor.
Also hair matters on where this wedding is too. Example, you get invited to a wedding in on the beach and you plan on straightening your hair because you look sassy, but that isn't going to help. HELLO, pay attention to the weather. If you're going to be in a moist or humid area plan on wearing your hair up or locking it tight with hair spray, because that shit's going to frizz. And remember, you are not going to a disco, so keep the hair polished and classy, show some respect sister!
2. SHOES
It kills me when women don't go with comfort at a wedding and then you see random heels thrown under tables and classy women with dirty rough looking feet. Wear some shoes you can walk and dance comfortably in.
Ladies, meet "the wedge." Rock that wedge because any dummy can walk and dance in it. It's going to give you more support than a thin heel and you wont up your chances on a sprained ankle while doing the electric slide with the bride and groom.
Trust me, the wedge is the way to go, and you'll wear it with anything else, like some cute skinny's or bell bottoms, wicked chic.

3. THE DRESS
The most important factor to looking sassy and chic at your friend's wedding. When looking for a wedding dress, try finding something that you know you'll wear again to something else. Which is why I recommend a solid dress or something with subtle pattern.
I say solids because it's so easy to play with and jazz up with accessories. Also solid leave room for more interpretations. But that doesn't mean white, black, gray or any other dark colors. Weddings are supposed to be a joyous occasion, so leave you Wednesday Adams look at home.
I like this Rebecca Taylor dress...
It offers a simple look with a pop of color that's not going to be freakishly bright. That with a cute bangle and simple necklace will get you a sexy groomsman to dance with you.
Also play that down for a night out on the town with a smoky eye, black bootie and cropped moto jacket or leather. See.. VERSATILITY.
Don't ant to spend $395? Use this as a guide with my other tips. Bloomingdales has a sale right now with insanely good deals.
I like these others as well...

4. THE FACE
Keep the face simple, go for a natural glow that says classy and not Snookie. Remember you're going to a wedding, this is a time where you dress elegantly and not slutty. Do a simple liner, soft shadow, with a rosey cheek and you're good to go. Honestly, a great tip is to go through a magazine and pick a good face and take it to a girl at the Chanel counter or MAC counter and have her paint you up!
Last Minute Tips:
Rule number one is comfort, and to make sure you are loving your outfit because you're going to be photographed in it and dancing all night long. Make sure you LOVE the dress especially if you're going to be spending a lot of money on it. If you happen to fall in love it a $500 Elizabeth and James dress or DVF cocktail frock, print a picture and walk the mall with it. Chances are H & M or Forever 21 is going to have a knock off or something similar (they always do).
Happy wedding season! Look fabulous and have fun!
