Both outfits are fabulous. It's great that you were there for your friend. If I subscribed to the one year idea then half my wardrobe would be gone, I'm glad you kept that dress.
I have the Sofft sandals and the bag in your second outfit on order, can't wait to get them, but I'm also hesitant because I don't know how much use I'll get from them. I never used metallics as casual wear...but I fell in love with the color. On you it's beautiful and it goes with your hair color.

Your are stunning in the dress, don’t get rid of it!

Great outfits for both events.
I remember when you got the WHBM dress, I purchased one too after you modeled it on the forum. It's possibly one of my all time go to dresses. In fact my niece is getting married in Chicago next weekend and I decided two days ago to not buy anything new for the rehearsal dinner - yes I'm wearing our dress lol.
Also worn to a 4 day wedding event in Longboat Key Florida earlier this year, its a great dress for packing.
