Wedding Guest Outfit Shopping

Its my (middle) brothers wedding in June. 

I love a wedding as much as the next person, but with it being my little brothers, it's an extra special wedding! I can't wait.

As much as I am looking forward to the big day, I'm just as excited in finding the right outfit, but it has to be a dress. I don't get to wear a dress often, and a wedding is the perfect excuse to wear one.

One of my other brothers wedding a couple of years ago, I wore a fuchsia dress from Coast, and navy shoes. This year, I am looking for a Navy Dress with silver shoes - I'm really into navy at the moment.

I've not found the dress yet, I've browsed a few websites, and I will hit the city in the next month, and I'm just as excited to be on the hunt for the perfect pair of ladies silver shoes - shoe shopping is so much fun.

Finding shoes, I always find, is so much easier than finding the dress. I'm petite, so this limits what is available for me (not all brands/shops offer petite). I also have my mind set on the dress being Navy, knee length, but not sure what type yet, whether it be lace, or a pencil, or bodycon - I'm not sure, and I'll have to see what choices are available.  With the silver shoes - which must be mid heel, not too high, I know I will be spoilt for choice, and will end up buying / ordering more than one pair.

I do tend to get my shoes online now adays, whereas I prefer purchasing the dress from a store - with shoes, it's straight forward, I know my size, and there will be a good range available to me, whereas with the dress, the sizes differ from brand to brand, so I need to first try the dress on. The buying process for a dress is not always so straightforward - sometimes I get lucky, but other times, no so - thus, I'm giving meself plenty of time to avoid any last minute (Lack of dress) panic.

 know exactly what I want, and I'm not too concerned about finding the right shoes, but I'm aware that finding the dress will be a little bit more challenging. Wish me luck!
