Reader Request: Unconventional Wedding Dress Now & Later

Good morning!  I was excited to get some more reader request emails this week, since I haven't gotten any requests in a while and I really enjoy playing stylist.  This week, I'm helping Abby, who is having a very low key, no stress, outdoor wedding next month.  She's purchased a really elegant sheath dress from J. Crew and wants some ideas on how to style it during and after the wedding.

I was happy to oblige, and I think the dress has great potential!

For an outdoor wedding, I think wedges are key.  I also love the idea of a special hair comb or headband along with the required "something blue" in the form of an elegant bracelet.

Then, after the wedding, Abby wants ideas on how to wear her dress to other events.  I think that the neckline makes necklaces unnecessary, but earrings and bracelets can transform the dress along with a sexier or more serious shoe. 

Hopefully this was helpful for Abby, as I really had fun making the sets.  If you'd like to submit a reader request, just send me a note!
