Dandies by the Sea...The Wedding Outfit.

Posted on 4:15 AM by follow me

I can and will honestly say I am not being vain, but seriouSLY I have yet to see a photograph of myself from the wedding I had the pleasure of attending last weekend that is of me in a full head to toe shot. I was far too busy it seems getting the bride down the aisle and dancing the night away to the greatest musical playlist ever created! I did however seem to get everyone else in a photo...dang.
It was a glorious weekend after a week of British summer (rain). The sun shone just as the Bride got to the groom it was magical.

The weekend was a biggie for me as the bride was my best buddie. The wedding theme was "Dandies by the sea" and guests were encouraged to dress to impress. However as always I took the theme and let it run off into the distance...with me.
I like to shine away from the usual suspects of "occasion dresses" and outfits a magazine deems appropriate for a summer wedding so I ended up choosing a fabulous Vintage of Holloway frock. I have worn a few in the last few years and they fit me perfectly and more importantly make me feel like a million bucks. It just happened to be my lucky day when I went online to find the VOH anchor print dress!!! £69 later...yes only £69 I was a nautical schweetheart. Visit http://www.vivienofholloway.com/ 

I love hats and fascinators and I am always looking for a good excuse to adorn some fancy head threads. After muchos googling I found the striped bow fascinator you can see on my head in the picture above at Coast. It is the perfect nautical companion for my anchor print dress and only £25. To complete the whole look I decided to indulge in some very high Irregular Choice platform shoes covered in red love hearts for £79.99. Regular readers will know I have been boring you with the fantasy of buying these shoes for an eternity. Well I did it.

Now I know what you are thinking....NB, you cannot wear three different prints...well I DID!

So what do you all think? TOO much? Have I inspired you a little?
