Indian wedding wear: blue, orange + gold

Anthropologie dress (now sold out, similar fit flare styles), H&M jacket (old) Jimmy Choo pumps (similar in 3"), vintage pearl & gold earrings (similar)
We are still loving each of your unique, personal stories (and gorgeous photos!) being shared in this post. Today's post is my outfit for our good friend's Indian wedding. As my own bridal events are still a ways off, I styled my JC pumps here with an intricate print and complementary color scheme. Against these elements, the light gold glimmer serves as a neutral. I was told to expect plenty of vibrant colors, detailed patterns, and metallic accents at the event - so figured why not join in on the fun!

I had pinned this dress a while back when most petite sizes were already sold out. While cleaning up my boards, I inadvertently clicked through the link and was thrilled to see a pop-back (customer return?) in my size. Paying for the hefty online shipping is a bummer, but the dress in 00 petite turned out to be a rare perfect fit right off the rack. Would highly recommend if more returns pop up or if gets restocked.

J.Crew belt, Ann Taylor bow clutch (old, similar)

These are one of my first pairs of true d'orsay style (with the side middle cut away) shoes and I'm hooked. They give toe coverage like regular pumps so can be worn year-round, but the open sides feel more comfy (esp. if your feet tend to balloon in the heat like mine). Despite a mid-height heel, the extra 2 inches of bared skin on the d'orsay sides also visually help lengthen legs. Here are a few more of my picks for special events, available in sizes down to a 34:
// !function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p '://' 'widgets.rewardstyle.com' '/js/shopthepost.js';d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') {window.__stp.init();}}(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); //
