Anniversary dress - something old

Shopping my dress collection, I found a dress that always makes me happy to wear because I bought it to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary with DH 5 years ago.

We went out to a flash restaurant and had a baby sitter for our then 5 year old.

I wore my dress to work with my pink faux fur and blush bag and 6 year old mauve heels.

My 25th wedding anniversary is in December - I have posted a picture of the silver wedding anniversary dress. I am planning on wearing silver heels with the dress. Apologies about looking dishevelled, I was in a rush getting changed, as I had to get out of my work clothes and into my exercise gear to make a class.

Photo 1 - 20th anniversary dress - RED Valentino (bought on discount from The Outnet)
Photo 2 - with pink faux fur (from Target), Samantha Thavasa bag (Japan) and Ecco heels (old)
Photo 3 - new 25th anniversary dress by Moss and Spy with magenta heels, but planning to wear with silver heels for the occasion.

Oh WOW, both dresses are gorgeous Bijou! I love the structure and neckline on the red dress (stunning colour on you too, and perfect with the pink and lilac). And that floral print, and again, a fantastic neckline on your new anniversary dress!! It's going to look amazing with silver shoes (but very fun with the magenta ones too).

The square neckline of the floral dress (last photo) is a wonderful frame for beautiful you!

I'm amazed at your ability to pick dresses that are perfect for your body type and that are unique and make a statement. The second dress is particularly stunning !

Bijou

Inge - it is always so great how you analyse why things work and notice the details.

RobinF - glad you like both dresses. I can see both having longevity because they are classic styles.

Mirjana - I am glad you think the silver shoes will work, as it will be nice to add a silver touch to my outfit.

Runcarla - that is such a lovely thing to say, thanks so much.

Cardiff Girl - 25 years is sooo long, but it was the best decision I ever made. We met as teenagers and grew up together.

Taylor - thank you so much.

Joy - you are too kind. I am lucky to marry my best friend.

Bella - thanks so much. I just fell in love with both dresses at the time and as luck would have it, both fitted perfectly.

Lisa - I think I am lucky to have a few brands that have a good fit for me. On the other hand, there are plenty of brands that do not work for me at all. I tend to shop in smaller boutiques and get to know the staff who recommend styles that they think will work for me.

i like the 1st outfit outfit, just not really feeling the shoes w it. the dress is really pretty. just switch the accessories and you can wear it to many occasions.

2nd outfit is straight from red carpet. the dress is absolutely gorgeous & i actually like it w the heels you're already wearing + some silver jewelry, looks great in my head.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, Bijou. You have THE most amazing wardrobe, and it shows how much you enjoy it! It's a pleasure to see your dressy, rich, maximal, elegant, glam, and playful outfits - and I always look forward to them

Your lilac Kate Spade satchel would look gorgeous with #1 too.

The 25th anniversary wedding dress is KNOCK OUT. Congrats!

JAileen

Both dresses are fab on you. The flowered one is especially lovely.

Katerina

WOW, gorgeous dresses on you! I adore both of them. I love your glamorous style, it is so special and unique.

Well Bijou you look stunning in both dresses. I like the new one even better, so glam! It’s your romance though that makes me extra happy this morning, how lovely to find your soul mate young. We had our 33rd anniversary last Friday and just went out to dinner locally this year to a new restaurant. I wore a dress but nowhere near as fancy as yours And flat tall boots not heels.

Jane

Congratulations, lovely to celebrate. Such beautiful dresses!

Christina F.

Stunning, times two! Happy anniversary!

Janet

Gorgeous! I wouldn't let that dress go either. You have the BEST glam dress collection. Happy anniversary!

rachylou

Pretty! And this year’s dress - vavoom! I’m off to go look up the brand!!

Sara L.

Great dresses! I love the neckline on you 25th anniversary dress. It will look gorgeous with silver heels.

Windchime

Both dresses are gorgeous on you! DH and I had a silver anniversary last spring; how did I not think to wear an outfit with silver?!

Sal

Congratulations!! Both these are stunning and beautiful dresses.

What a nice idea to buy a dress for this reason too!! We went to a horse riding beach and then mountain biking for our 20th wedding anniversary so in the pics I am wearing a raincoat AND a puffer.

Roxanna

Well I love the idea of getting a dress for your anniversary - especially knockouts like these ones! I echo Lisa - I so admire your ability to choose dresses that are so perfectly made for you! That second one in particular is a stunner!

Jaime

Both are gorgeous but I think I like the new one even better. Beautiful even in a rush.

Gigi

So beautiful! The red in the first pic is a perfect match with your complexion.
