I love when reader’s write to me with a specific request… One reader asked, “Can you do another post about what to wear to a wedding but this time for fall weddings? I’m going to one in Illinois in Nov. BRRRR! I want to look fashionable and in-season. Most of my dresses are more California Summer appropriate…” {If you missed my summer wedding post, look at it here}.
The fall wedding look is all about the art of layering {and, of course, if it’s freezing cold… add some cute opaque or patterned tights… very on point}. Trends to incorporate: {faux} fur, the return of the ladylike glove {yay!}, necklaces that look like you must have inherited them from a distant and uber-wealthy relative, clutches that feel like jewelry, and booties with a serious high heel {that keep feet warm, but still look wedding-ready}. You can use all of these tricks with a dress you already own {try to lean toward an autumnal shade and an appropriate length hem}. As for makeup, matte skin with simple black winged liner and a bold lip {red or maroon} are all you need. There’s a serious 1940s revival happening; to keep the look from being costume-y, wear your hair in a sleek pony, stick straight, or in the classic sock bun… It’s an instant way to throw a modern twist on a timeless classic.
