It seems like all at once, everyone around me started getting married. I guess thatā€™s what happens when youā€™re in your thirties (Iā€™m now 31 and still canā€™t get used to saying Iā€™m in my thirties); everyone is either engaged, married, or having babies. I am not good at changing diapers or properly holding a newborn baby (my family always makes fun of me for that), but I do love a good wedding. So, maybe you should wait to have me babysit until your child is a toddler ā€” after that, I can be your go-to girl ā€” but I will happily attend your wedding and bring you a nice gift.

Speaking of go-tos: I have a handful of wedding guest dresses for such occasions, depending on the time, place, and level of fanciness. And by handful, I mean three: a little black cocktail dress, a vintage 60s pastel chiffon number, and a fancy 50s midi dress with a nipped in waist and crinoline skirt. What I was missing in that rotation, however, was a more casual dress for a daytime, outdoor wedding. Being that Iā€™m originally from sunny South Florida, there are a lot of thoseā€¦and hereā€™s what Iā€™ve learned to avoid: synthetic fabrics, skinny heels, and restrictive garments (aka leave the shapewear at home). I picked up this ModCloth ā€œField Day Offā€ dressĀ and Ā ā€œFloat You Forget About Meā€ heels from ModClothā€™s Wedding Guest section, with the intention of filling that void. It may not be your usual wedding guest attire, but itā€™s perfect for those summery, outdoor weddings because 1) the dress is 100% cotton, which means itā€™s breathable and 2) the heels are just sturdy enough so that they wonā€™t sink in the ground, and are comfortable enough to dance in. And whatā€™s a wedding without dancing?
