What to Wear to a Wedding: Winter 2020.

*I’ve had this photo pinned to my Pinterest account forever and I wish I knew who made this dress because it is quite possibly the most beautiful item I’ve ever seen. Does anyone know?!

One of the most frequent questions I receive via email is — “What do I wear to a wedding with xyz constraints?” Below, a guide to my favorite finds for evening/special occasions. I’ll preface this by saying I have nowhere to wear this dress, but I need it. So that’d be high on my list — love the nude color and the fit is very me. Beyond that…
