summer wedding
No, this is not going to be one of those "OMG here's my picks for what to wear to a summer wedding" posts. Because honestly, I had no idea how to dress for this occasion. For someone who literally loves buying clothing for any possible event, including working out (something I do like 10 times in a calendar year...) formal wear is a category that stumps me. Not that I don't love looking at pretty dresses as much as the next girl, I'd just prefer not to wear them. Maybe it's cause while in theory something with prints or colors or embroidery fits the bill, I'd naturally wear something more simple. This sets the stage for me rummaging through various boxes in my closet in hopes of finding something to wear, and settling on my senior prom dress with a a half hour to get dressed, sort through a mess of tangled hair, and slap on some makeup. Wearing it for a second time, albeit two years later, makes me feel a little less bad about how much $$ went into the dress.
This is part one of two posts, since Indian weddings are REALLY LONG. Like, REALLY REALLY. If the all caps and repetition didn't do it for you, I don't know how to properly emphasize this point. This is what I wore to the ceremony in the morning, and in all honesty, I felt a bit underdressed in a sea of saris and salwars. But it was humid and I was not in the mood to drown myself in a precariously draped piece of cloth.
