Last Minute Wedding Invitation: Forever 21 LBD

On Saturday, 20 minutes before walking out the door, Justin asked me to attend an old friends’ wedding reception with him. As happy as I was that he asked me to join him, I was also in a state of panic. Weddings usually take prep work and I’d done nothing. With just enough notice to put on something that was hanging in my closet and some makeup, he was ready to go.

I stood in the doorway of my closet for a few minutes hemming and hawing over what I should wear, what would be most appropriate for the temperature, what would match Justin’s attire, etc. Annnnddd there it was! Luckily I had just recently scoured the clearance racks at Forever 21 and found an adorable little black dress that was going to work perfectly for the occasion! (It was a $22 dress that I got for $11.99!) Nice, thick material and so comfortable. Also, with it being 90 degrees these past few days, the spaghetti straps and low-cut front made it nice a breathable.

I wore it with my Chinese Laundry heels that I have written about in my previous post What I Wore: Express Dress & Chinese Laundry Heels. 

Here’s a photo of this weekend’s LBD from Forever!👇

What I Wore: Express Dress & Chinese Laundry Heels

Hi friends!

So, Justin and I recently went to his cousins wedding. Such a gorgeous day down in Charlottesville, Virginia at the Veritas Winery! Just wanted to share #whatiwore!

First off, the dress is from Express! $30 of black, off-the-shoulder goodness. The material is stretchy and snug, but really hugged me in all the right places and none of the wrong ones! I suggest this dress to absolutely everyone. I don’t think you can possibly go wrong with this versitile piece! Everyone needs their LBD and this one is certainly my new go-to!

My shoes are Chinese Laundry and I bought them for $50. Great quality and very comfortable! I got so many compliments on my ability to dance for hours in them, but it really wasn’t that difficult as they are such a comfortable shoe! Such a simple dress needed the different heel to jazz up my look a bit! (The big, blonde curls didn’t hurt either though, I suppose!)

Had an amazing time at the wedding and loved my outfit!

Thanksfor visiting!
