First of all, I just have to say that “Dress Denise” brought back a flood of Darrow memories. Thursday night dancing was the best! Showing up to my 8:30 a.m. class on Friday morning with huge black X’s on my hands, however, was not the best.

As for the shoes, given the formality of the occasion, I vote option A with a pair of comfy sandals in your bag so you can still bust a move like it’s 1997. Whatever you choose, though, you’ll look fab.

P.S. that’s not to say you shouldn’t keep giving me feedback because I will still check this from the hotel until like the last second.

Will report back after the weekend. PLUS pictures of my children in suits, so, whoa.

THANK YOU, everybody! I appreciate all the feedback so much you wouldn’t even believe it.

I’m just about to finish packing the car and zoom outta here with my family so MWAH! Kisses until later.

THANK YOU. You are all so very wise. And with good taste.

I am going to disagree with Shoe B. I think if the guys are wearing tuxes, then the Sofft shoes aren’t sophisticated enough (although I do like them). I also don’t think they go with the dress at all. I think you should go with A. They are sophisticated and very appropriate for that dress. Sold. If you need to, someone else suggested wearing the Anne Kleins for the wedding and the Soffts for the reception. I think that’s reasonable.

Ruby earrings, and a bracelet (sparkley if you’ve got it). No need for any other jewelry!

I love Shoe B and C but I think that B would be best. I think the sparklies would be best with that dress since if I remember correctly, the line of the necklace might match the neckline. I’d agree with the pop of color and a huge brooch but you don’t ACTUALLY want to draw any attention away from your sister. SO, since the goal is to be quietly elegant, a hint of sparkles should be good

Shoe B, my friend. It seems a little vintage-y and that’s just you’re style! Besides, you’re so freaking adorable that you could wear flip flops and pull it off.

Enjoy!

Ooh, this is fun!

I vote for shoes B, as most everyone else has. They seem to be the most “you,” they’ll be comfy, and they’re also hella cute! I think they’re funky (but certainly dressy), and, frankly, I now want them for myself.

Depending on how the flower clusters look, I would vote for those because they sound equally funky. You could always mix and match, though — flower necklace, silver hoops. That might be more interesting than a jewelry set.

I am positive you will not look “vampy” in any of these combos; I often freak out a little when I dress up and keep going on and on about how I don’t look like myself, until I realize it’s all in my head. A full face of makeup is going to make you feel even more like that, though.

Now that I’ve sufficiently confused things, I’ll just back away slowly … no matter what you choose, you’re going to look great! Also, the other bridesmaids are there to advise on just such questions as these. Have a great tme!

I don’t wear heels, so recently, I was at DSW trying to find shoes for my attendance at a wedding and actually was shocked to find that Söfft brand remarkably comfortable. I ended up with a pair of Börn maryjane flats, but if I could have found a pair of Söfft in my size, I would have bought them. Go with the t-straps for sure!
