I am sure I will definitely trot out this ensemble again in the future (possibly next month for another wedding, although I've not actually figured out yet if I'm even going to that one). And I am pleased that you like the makeup - since I don't wear it very often these days I sometimes wonder whether I am making a big mess of it when I do. </p> <p>Kelly, the dress is a vintage silk Liz Claiborne number from the 80's. My mom found it in her closet (not sure why, since it's to big to ever fit her, which probably explains why it still had its tags) and gave it to me. It came with enormous 80's style shoulder pads that I removed. </p> <p>Sheila, your compliment on my writing style totally made my day. =D Once upon a time I wanted to be a writer. </p> <p>Kari, the magnifying glass pendant is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry! It's just some costume jewelry that my mom found at Ross or Marshall's or something and gave to me, but it's such a unique piece. Although my fiance was joking that given the 100 degree temps at this wedding, I could start fires with my jewelry. (Reflect and focus sunlight with the concave inside surface of the shiny gold cuff, and then direct that through the magnifying glass to start your fire! Hee.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-665390 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 23:54:40 +0000 Kari 665390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, that's beautiful!<br /> (And, high five to you, as I just wore that color to the last wedding I attended.)</p> <p>I adore your fabulous pendant necklace. A magnifying glass on a chain? What a cool idea! (I could so see myself, after a glass of wine, making use of that accessory by holding it up like a monacle.) The gold cuff is incredibly elegant, too.</p> <p>So sorry that the shoes didn't turn out to be as comfy as you had hoped, though. What a pain! Heat, sweat, and swelling can totally make even the best shoes feel a little uncomfortable at the end of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-665337 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:08:01 +0000 Anonymous 665337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are stunning in the wedding outfit, and those bird shorts are just too darn cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-665214 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:39:05 +0000 Scarlet 665214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress looks so great on you!

I'll bet the silk helps in hot weather. And so lovely to see you all decked up for a special occasion! Very sophisticated, understated make-up --- which I'm partial too, I'll confess; but you look beautiful!</p> <p>Also, very impressed with the nifty, uber-stylish wardrobe rescue. Those shorts are such fun and I love the softer feminine cut --- they really flatter your lovely legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664844 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:56:54 +0000 Isabel 664844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous !! You look just fantastic. The make up is wonderful !!! I LOVE the lip color. </p> <p>I can't even imagine being at a wedding this weekend.

I want a pair! Think print mix, denim jacket, jewel tone blouses (your fav, teal!), denim blouse, a lovely handknit piece, blazer (when the weather cools down!)....tons of ideas swirling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664832 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:44:29 +0000 Angie 664832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to chime in to say that your wedding guest ensemble is KILLER!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664829 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:41:40 +0000 Jonesy 664829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful wedding attire (I can imagine that the shawl wasn't necessary :). That blue looks so gorgeous on you, and the dress looks perfect for a hot summery day. Those shorts are very cute too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664801 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 01:13:01 +0000 goldenpig 664801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you look great in the shorts--thanks for the pic. I've been a bit mystified on how to style them. And you look beautiful in the cobalt dress too! I guess we're on the same wavelength with the cobalt dress for weddings and blackbird shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664785 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:17:19 +0000 catgirl 664785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you are GORGEOUS even in sweltering weather. Your makeup is perfect - not OTT and very flattering. Love the dress color on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664784 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:16:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 664784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look positively radiant in that wedding outfit Diana - my goodness! The colour and easy drape of the dress, with the nude shoes and that long pendant all add up to make one gorgeous looking YOU! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx2-hottest-wedding-of-the-year-literally-plus-blackbird-shorts#post-664780 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 00:12:43 +0000 Diana 664780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is how I styled my vintage silk dress for the 100 degree wedding in Princeton this weekend. I chose my nude shoes and bold gold jewelry and burgundy accessories. Unfortunately the shoes turned out to be somewhat uncomfortable, although I'm sure this had something to do with the fact that it was a million degrees and my feet were swollen and sticking to the shoes, plus there was more standing/walking than I expected, much of it on uneven cobblestones. I took a closeup photo since you guys never see me with makeup on - mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick and tinted powder. No foundation 'cause I think it feels gross, plus it would have just melted anyway, and no blush since it makes me look like a clown. </p> <p>vintage 80's Liz Claiborne silk dress, Etienne Aigner shoes, ??? bag, handknit shawl (which I did not use at all), gifted magnifying glass pendant necklace, Ariane Arazi cuff.</p> <p>Bonus photo of WIW today for shopping in NYC in the morning and the bus ride back to boston in the afternoon. Photo was taken after all that, so please forgive my rumpled look! Since Natalie asked about the bird shorts today and I happened to be wearing them when I read her K/R post, I figured I should show the outfit! I started out with the blouse tucked but had a wardrobe malfunction when a button popped off in a fitting room, so after employing my emergency safety pin, I switched it to a tie front look to hide the missing button. </p> <p>Anthro shorts, Harve Bernard blouse, Naot shoes, H&amp;M bag. </p>
