Third installment of 'What the heck am I wearing to the wedding?'

Now here is a dress that I L-O-V-E.
I love the texture, I love the funky hem, I love the shape. This might be the winner, but there are still two more days to see before you decide. I am a little concerned about the length, because Bloomingdales (where I found the dress) doesnt show how long the dress is, but it looks like it hits the model just above the knee, and chances are- because I am short- the length will be fine.


I would wear the dress with a nice form-fitting shirt:

Only in black. I wouldn't want to have a contrast with this dress. Because it has an interesting shape at the bottom, I would want the eye to be drawn there, not at my arms. So if I wore this top in black it would look like it was part of the dress.


For shoes I think these:

Are AMAZING! I like how the ruffle on the hem is repeated on the shoe. And I also like going for an all black look. Actually, that is my one problem- is it too much black for a wedding? I almost wonder if it is too fancy. But I digress.

The jewelry would be this bracelet: And these earrings: What I like about these pieces is the 'harder' look that contrasts with the softness of the dress and shoes. It keeps the look from being too prissy (plus, if I want to look soft, I would wear outfit number 1 from Monday's post). I think this is a really great look, but I am concerned if it is appropriate for a wedding. What do you think?
