Design an outfit YOU would wear personally to a summer wedding. Not a casual backyard wedding. One in a house of worship or a nice venue.

 

Three pieces-dress, bag, shoes. One piece has to be a designer name-one that is recognizable as a designer, does not have to be high end. Less than $100 for the whole outfit (ok shipping and tax does not count towards total). Can utilize any web site and all discounts you can find.

I would wear a simple black dress that flows.   Knee length or just below with short or elbow sleeves with strappy black sandals and a very small red clutch bag.  Gold earrings and a gold cuff for the wrist.  HeartCat Happy
