It is very likely to be lovely and springlike, BUT you can also easily get a cold and rainy day. I would take two options — one more like that dress in 13, and one that will suit a chillier day, with a trench coat if you have one. Of course you can just track the weather as the day gets closer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384577 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 15:21:39 +0000 Jenny H 2384577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the conflicting advice on this one because my takeaway is that you have a lot of great options.</p> <p>But I do love the version you added with the green top and silver shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384568 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 14:19:05 +0000 JAileen 2384568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a cousin who was married five times. &nbsp;I jokingly called him Zsa Zsa. &nbsp;I went to the first wedding, and met and loved the second wife. &nbsp;After that, he never even told his parents he had remarried, until he had children. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384556 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 12:31:13 +0000 kkards 2384556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well gosh, I hope no gift is required! &nbsp;I have a couple cousins on round number 4 and sorry I have a no gifting policy after # 2!&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Anyway, sorry back to the actual question …I love # 6, but I see the appeal of adding the tie.

Fab combination; black, green and silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384538 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 03:40:51 +0000 Jenni NZ 2384538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tulle skirt for texture but also really like the other (tulle?) skirt with the big either white or silver flowers around the bottom. I can’t quite tell the colour. Especially with the black top and silver necklace in pic 9. That outfit might also benefit from the silver shoes. The silver accents lighten all the black.<br /> I remember going to a wedding in I think 2009, an infrequent event for many years, of the next generation down (son of a cousin) and my 16 year old DD2 said at the time “But Mum, why are you wearing black to a wedding?”<br /> I didn’t have so many clothes at the time so was just thinking of my more formal clothes, there wasn’t much choice. But Miss 16’s question has sort of stuck with me since. I know that many people do wear black to weddings but I guess it doesn’t feel very celebratory. Now I have more choice I don’t. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384533 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 23:38:09 +0000 Cookie 2384533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL re: fifth wedding.

And will not be difficult to put into the bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384523 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 21:56:29 +0000 Cookie 2384523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orrrrrrr what about this green top … ?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384479 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 08:08:28 +0000 Sisi 2384479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like # 3 - merry and&nbsp; festive.

This is perfect for a NYC wedding in central park. Just make sure your shoes are good for walking. You can end up doing a lot of walking in NYC. Those city blocks are LONG!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384464 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 23:52:45 +0000 Angie 2384464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver shoes look a lot nicer to my eye! &nbsp;</p> <p>Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384463 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 23:52:26 +0000 Jaime 2384463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just me but I would pack #2, #7 and #13 and decide on the day. I think #2 is actually excellent for a Central Park wedding, but if it feels cool you might prefer longer sleeves - and it could be that you would wake up and not feel like wearing black at all (projecting obviously). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384451 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 21:03:59 +0000 JAileen 2384451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s funny, I was thinking that silver shoes would really jazz up an all black outfit. &nbsp;Also, pile on silver jewelry. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384448 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 20:20:03 +0000 Cookie 2384448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m loving the lack of consensus on this thread and appreciate the input of everyone!</p> <p>(Brooklyn breakfast cafe, basement punk show, outdoor wedding, opera sounds like a pretty optimal agenda, really.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384442 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 20:02:31 +0000 Carol 2384442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having lived in NYC 6 years, I have opinions!<br />All these clothes are great, but I find the tulle skirt&nbsp; in 2 and 3 best. Paired with anything.&nbsp; NYC is all about a studied irreverence, and this does blend in with the culture. It has a flexibility that makes it appropriate (in NYC) for: an outdoor wedding, being the owner of a Brooklyn breakfast cafe and greeting patrons at 8 a.m., going to a punk show in an unfinished basement, or getting to the opera.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384440 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 19:51:56 +0000 Cookie 2384440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sadly can’t wear #1 because it doesn’t fit! Even if it seems all right in the picture. It is hideously uncomfortable.</p> <p>I could wear the sleeveless top (though it is velvet), or some other short sleeved or sleeveless black top, but it could well be not that warm out.</p> <p>Here’s the outfit with silver shoes and pinkish/my skin tone shoes. I have other more interesting shoes but they are not comfortable enough to bring to NY. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384439 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 19:18:51 +0000 Stella 2384439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look gorgeous in #1. Full stop.</p> <p>And I think you’ll be hot and uncomfortable in anything black with long sleeves at 3 pm in Central Park. If you’re not going with #1, #13 is lovely, and weather and venue appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384437 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 18:55:42 +0000 Carla 2384437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tulle skirt! &nbsp;No contest. &nbsp;#7 with silver accessories (shoes and bag.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-guest-dilemma#post-2384435 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 18:26:25 +0000 Angie 2384435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>No need to loose weight for the dress!

I’m going to a wedding in NYC two weeks from now. It’s in the afternoon in Central Park, so outdoors. Given that the weather at this time of year can be just about anything, I’ve really only just started thinking about what to wear. Current forecast is 71F/22C.</p> <p>#1 is what I thought I wanted to wear (this is the vintage dress I’ve never worn), and I think the weather would be just warm enough, but tragically it does NOT fit (I bought it about six years ago). I managed to zip it up but it’s really a nonstarter. Boohoo!! But onward.<br /> #2 I could wear the new tulle skirt! Perhaps with this velvet top. (Of the three skirts, I think this might be easiest to dress down for other occasions, and I do want to pack light.)<br /> #3-4 And possibly this lovely silk velvet shawl thing that my mother brought me from Paris once (maybe I’ve never worn this either?). BUT maybe this seems too evening-like.<br /> #5 Maybe this wacky obi made of neckties makes it more daytime (and also, I really don’t love wearing all black to weddings).<br /> #6-7 With a long-sleeved top<br /> #8-9 A different tulle skirt! I rarely get a chance to wear this.<br /> #10-12 A brown/black lace skirt … I like this better with heels or boots but could live with these or similar shoes.<br /> #13 OR, heck, it’s 3pm on a spring Wednesday in Central Park, I can just wear a cheery cotton dress.<br /> #14 Wearing today … debut (to the walls of my own home, haha) of the newly thrifted purple sweater. </p>
