I went to a wedding. It’s the first wedding I’ve been to in years. Weddings are lovely aren’t they?
It was also fun to wear some dressy items in a dressy way. It makes a nice change from wearing my dressy items dressed down.
Dark gold is my colour of the year. I wore a dark greenish gold metallic skirt that has a blackish patina. An open knit metallic top in light gold, with a mustard coloured top underneath to give it a slightly darker hue. Bag and shoes in a darker gold than the knit top, but not as green as the skirt. Three different tones of gold, not including the necklace and bracelets. There was also a subtle pattern mix: the patina of the skirt, the mesh of the top, the reptilian scales of the bag, the chain mail necklace and the striped bangles.
Pic 1: The wedding was in the country and we would be away for few days to attend. I wanted to make sure that I was happy with the outfit beforehand because once there I wouldn’t be able to access my wardrobe to make any changes. So I did a full try on and took some photos in the week before the wedding (to quote Angie: try it on!)
I did make some minor changes after taking the photos. I decided to wear the knit top back to front so the scoop is at the back and the high side is at the front. High necklines always suit me better. I also ended up wearing gold nail polish on my toes and fingers and some gold shimmer lotion on my shoulders.
Pic 2: This shows the jacket I planned to wear if it was unexpectedly cool. (Weather predictions were 30C+ so it was unlikely.) I ended up wearing it loosely draped over my shoulders to the ceremony (which was outdoors on a farm - no cover). Initially it was hot and sunny, so it was good sun protection. Then the heavens opened up and it rained quite hard. So I was glad to have the jacket for rain protection. Fortunately for the happy couple, the sun came out again shortly afterwards.
Pic 3: At our motel on the day. This shows the top back to front.
Note: the find for my sandals shows the colour before treating them with gold metallic polish.
