We are attending a few weddings this summer so I’m on the hunt for one – two perfect dresses. Does anyone agree with me that shopping for dresses to wear as a guest is super stressful? I of course steer clear of anything white, cream, off white, etc., but then I also worry about showing up in the same color as the bridesmaids, or being “that guest” whose dress was too short, too tight, or too [fill in the blank].

I probably worry more than the average nuptials party-goer (no surprise there) but it’s out of respect and love for the bride. Which is why I really need to get off by butt and into some stores to start my search. The first wedding is one month away in Santa Barbara!

One frock captured my attention last week via some online browsing but the price is really steep. Like, we could finish off the guest room and still have some leftover money for a rug upstairs kind of steep. But c’mon, wouldn’t you covet this dress too if you knew it would be PERFECT for both weddings this summer?

I’ve never tried anything from the Elizabeth and James line but it always looks gorgeous. Just the right blend of chic, trendy and classic. I adore the cut as the length in the back adds elegance while the front keeps it young and flirty.

What dresses have you been coveting lately, and if they would be perfect for outdoor weddings in Santa Barbara AND Colorado, would you be so kind as to share the love?! I’ll owe ya.
