Now let’s get into this month’s questions…
QUESTION // I’ve got a few wedding events coming up in Italy this May and I’m really having trouble finding things! There’s a welcome party on a rooftop in Florence, that requires cocktail with a “Something Blue” theme. There’s also the wedding itself, which requires black tie and colorful attire at a villa in Tuscany. I’m currently wearing a 14/16 unless it’s flowy, and would prefer no strapless styles. Would also avoid a minidress unless it’s phenomenal. I’d love some Italian vibes, but would like to avoid too on-the-nose Dolce & Gabbana style prints. A really gorgeous plain dress is fine if there’s enough room in the budget to buy an Hermes scarf from The Real Real or something! My budget for each look is $3,000. I just want really cool dresses and am willing to cast the widest net!
ANSWER // Sounds like a fabulous trip you have coming up! I’ve rounded up a bunch of options below for you to consider for both events. I left no stone unturned in my internet search this past week, so hopefully there’s enough variety here for you to find something you love!!
