Nope, a wedding outfit that is not.

I have absolutely been to weddings where that would be perfectly appropriate, even a bit fancy with the pumps. Not in the US though ;-).

I like the outfit a lot, but in no way is it wedding appropriate!
In Sydney, I go to the occasional beach wedding, but people are still frocked up, just with flat shoes!

Huh. Yes, I've been to weddings of people who married very casually, some of them frequently. Varying levels of costume. One was pajama themed, venue furnished with fancy beds. Lots of drawstring silk there!

But really I only logged in because while on-line shopping I came across a shop with a collection of shoes that reminded me of you, Anna. Probably you've seen it before

and some of them are tamer than your taste.
Lazy as I am, I'm tacking that link in here. Cheers!

I have never encountered a "city chic" dress code, so who knows... what does that mean, exactly? Even the beach weddings I've dressed people for are dressier than a pair of joggers.

Pretty outfit nut not wedding appropriate in my world:). Having seed that I have seen many outfits at weddings that made no sense to me:). Anna we can be OLDZ together xx

Indeed - definitely not a wedding outfit! But I do love it for other occasions. I think those are the Zara sweatpants I meant to buy and didn't and then they sold out.

Love the look. Wear track pants out to dinner with abandon. In silk. With silk tops. Chose to wear a dressy pants/tuxedo jacket look to a spring wedding due to footwear limitations.

And yet, yellow heels and all, I would not wear this to any wedding I have attended. That said, there are a lot of casual weddings these days, though the phrase "city chic" doesn't come to mind as a descriptor. Interesting perspective.

I've attended weddings this summer that have a similar level of dressiness - some people in jeans, and most in casual skirts or dresses. She would have blended in just fine - maybe it's a mid-est casualness thing? That said, I'd be more comfortable in a skirt or dress at a wedding (and that's what I wore to the ones I've attended).

I've found Un-fancy interesting...I like her style, but I agree with others that it's easy to look cool & effortless when you're young, thin and pretty!
I would also never wear that to a wedding. I'd look ridiculous! In fact I don't find a lot of her outfits to be very relatable, but that's fine as I do not think I am her target audience at all (older, not thin, etc!).
What I find most odd abt her blog though is that I think she takes ALL of her capsule outfit photos at one time, but then posts them day-by-day. I'd love to know what outfits she *really* wore in everyday life. Is she really sticking to that capsule?
Obviously my musings on some fashion blogger's habits are not at all important, just thought it was curious...and it actually makes me like her blog a lot less than I otherwise would have.

She admits to wearing mostly lounge wear at home. I think she mostly works from home.

There are not nearly enough fancy occasions in my world - so if there is a wedding, you can bet I am going to dress up!

I do love Un-fancy, though. This blog is on my current list of top five, must-look-at-daily favorites I just think this outfit for a wedding is stretching an idea a bit thin. She's got other stuff in her current capsule that would be more appropriate.

@Sheila - I nearly snorted coffee out my nose at the half-time tractor pull comment! <3 <3 <3

Coming in late here, but I like the outfit. As so many have pointed out, wedding attire isn't a cut and dried affair these days. Also saying I personally wouldn't wear that outfit isn't much of a evaluation because I'm considerably older than this blogger.

We say that rules regarding age appropriate dressing are fluid, but are we stricter when it comes to festive wear? To me, thinking about this outfit as wedding attire is more about age-appropriate wear for a wedding than anything else.

The lounge wear thing makes sense...I think I might have seen that too.
Basically, although her capsules are well put together and I like seeing the process, in the end I prefer blogs that show what the blogger actually wore during their daily life as that is where I struggle the most ... outfits for my everyday life!

Plus, for whatever reason, I find the "pre-made" outfit idea somewhat disingenuous.

I would not wear that to a wedding, even a casual one. But I'm old

Just a comment on her wardrobe size...I believe that each season she has some carryover from the previous season so her total count is probably a good deal less than the 148 (37 pieces per season).

I love her blog and her outfits but I haven't been to a wedding where that outfit would fly. She has a gorgeous maxi dress in her capsule that would be way more appropriate (and a white dress that would be OK in some settings, even). I can't get worked up about that one sentence, though.

I noticed the same thing as Tierra--she takes all her photos at once. It makes for a very cohesive feel and for lovely photographs.

I suspect that her blog is set up in a very calculated way, as an attempt to get a book deal, and I think there's a good chance it will work. (NB: I don't see that as a bad thing at all.) Her outfits, her "look" and her approach are head and shoulders above most of the fashion bloggers who are aimed at the everyday, average-income, casual-lifestyle 18-35 market, IMO. Kudos to her.

I think I'm close to her age and that's definitely not wedding attire!
I do love those heels though.

Chuckling at Rachy's comment! I like the outfit but in my context/area that would seem disrespectfully casual.

Yeah, no. Not wedding attire.

But I'm also drawing a distinction between general festive wear and attire to celebrate a major milestone in the lives of people you care about. Also, I'm an OLDZ (very funny, Anna!).

I can see expectations being generational, but they're also regional and cultural in a million different subtle ways. I've never seen jeans at a wedding, and I don't know any younger people who would would wear anything this casual. But then, I live in a very traditional east coast area.

That said, she looks fantastic and I'm really enjoying looking through her blog.

I don't go to enough weddings to waste a true "dressy occasion" on drawstring pants! And I seriously doubt she is working a wedding in that outfit. 8-10 hours on your feet in those shoes? If she did it once, she'd never do it again! :).

I'd wear it out to lunch, maybe a casual dinner though.

Tierra, Ariadne--how did you figure it out that she takes all her photos on the same day?
Oh and doh--(smacking my forehead) of course the blog is set up to serve another purpose. It doesn't feel like a blogger's blog to me, either--and now I get it. Thanks. And yes, hats off to her.

I'm going to a wedding on a beach tonight and people were advised to wear shorts.
I'm not wearing shorts (make room for me, team OLDZ).

I guess beach weddings have different rules because of the sand. This outfit looks about right for a beach wedding.

It all depends on the wedding, for sure. I would respect the wishes of the bride and groom. If they say casual, I would dress casual. If they say dress like a superhero, I'm dressing like a superhero (which I did). I dunno what "city chic" is, though

Please don't let weddings become this casual so that there is not one occasion that you look forward to dressing up for...I tag myself OLDZ but I hope this is not the style of the future...
(Don't cry COCO...)

Actually this outfit would be terrible for a beach wedding....those shoes would sink in the sand.

I've been to all kinds of weddings. A camping wedding. An outdoor wedding in a park during a Michigan. In February and we had to climb a fence to get from the backyard to the park where the ceremony was! A wedding in a pasture. A wedding in the middle of a bike ride. And then the regular church, hall venues.

All have been fantastic celebratory occasions. As Cciele, I dressed for each according to the bride and groom's wishes. It is their day, their celebration. I love these occasions!

Cute outfit, but for a wedding? No way.
ITA with Rachylou. That's serious biz. Everyone in attendance should have their mind on supporting the great commitment the couple is making.

I'm not familiar with that blog, but I find it interesting that no one has commented to her that they think her outfit is wrong for a wedding.

Alana, at some point in a post she mentioned that she and her boyfriend took all the photos for her summer capsule in one afternoon.

Nice outfit, and I am guessing that it was just an off-hand comment not fully thought through at the time.

The last wedding i went to was a cousin's wedding were the bride was oops pregnant, we were worried the dress (in white) wasn't going to fit having been bought a trimester before, i found myself in costco between the wedding and the reception buying flowers to dress up the wedding banquet venue which was the backroom of the a greek restaurat/diner. I still dressed to the occasion, which was decidedly not city-chic.

My eyebrows went up at that too. But I am a Southern girl and haven't experienced "city chic" much at all, let alone weddings so I chalk it up to I am a country bumpkin who dresses up for weddings.

I have really enjoyed her blog but I have started to question whether her capsule is fantastic or if it is just possible that anything at all looks good on a beautiful, skinny, young girl who has an excellent photographer at her disposal. Either way, I have definitely taken some important lessons from her blog and it is very well done.
