Saturday Wedding

Wedding starting at 6pm. Catholic church ceremony, though no full mass. Reception at a country club, but a casual one. Knowing the couple and the crowd, I figured a cotton sundress was totally appropriate.

Black and white print sundress from Adriana Appell. It's hard to see in the pictures, but the straps have two rings. My plan was to wear a clear strap or strapless bra so bra straps didn't show through the rings. Got home and found that my strapless and clear strapped bras wer both too high-cut for the dress and they showed. I chose instead a black knit bra from Donna Karan that has very thin cotton black straps - looks like spaghetti straps, not at all lingerie-like. I am TOTALLY against the bra strap showing, but I was in a bit of a pinch and I din't think it was too obvious. My hubby didn't even notice and he is always the first to notice things like exposed bra straps and panty lines.

Anyway, back to the outfit. For coverup, I have a black knit cocoon-like shrug from Target. Enough to keep me decent in the church and ward off chill. On the feet were the well-worn black leather thong heels from Mossimo. Silver hoops and silver bangle.

Hair was allowed to air dry on the drive to the mall to buy this dress, then when home I curled the whole thing with hot rollers and then brushed out for a side-swept sexy wavy look with body.

Makeup was Bare Minerals foundation, concealer and Warmth. On eyes was The Body Shop's shadow in Granite, touch of Soft Black in the crease and along the lash line and a thin line of Maybelline's Ultra Liner in black ont he top lash line. On lips was Sally Hansen's Diamond Lipcolor in Royal Romance.
