Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post. But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress. I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway.

1.

Elie Tahari

Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type.

Kate Spade

This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on.

Milly

So fresh feeling in the color and pattern, the silhouette seems straight forward. But I wouldn't go with a red shoe, too matchy-matchy. Again, user review/pics would suggest this would be flattering on me.

Proenza Schouler

The drescription and reviews has this being in a very light and breezy fabric, BUT the neckline is questionable, may require a cami. And that isn't a big deal, but a black cami for modesty sake may take away some of the impact.

Shoshanna

The shape is awesome and unconventional lace is very trendy this season. But is this a good color for me?

Trina Turk

I wear this color combo of blue and green a lot, so its true to my aesthetic and this appears to be light, but still structured, might be a bit too informal for the event. Again, loving the statement necklace for this look.

Zac Posen

This dress would certainly deliver the va-va-voom and it appeared to flatter a variety of ladies who posted user photos, BUT then maybe this particular number has been rented a few too many times.

So I need your help and your vote. Please enter the number of the dress you think will have the most impact and be the most flattering on me in the comments below. (And feel free to click on each dress's designer name to read the dets and reviews on Rent the Runway)

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look. And now for your viewing pleasure Sweet Dreams: Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's Dallas . It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show. Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic! I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit. Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here . Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
