what should i wear & how should i wear it

by @according2kelly on July 12, 2011

i’ve joined a movement – a fashion movement that is. sweats, work out pants & sometimes even pajamas have become the norm much to often. so i’m linking up with the always fabulous lindsey to document what i wore & how i wear it. there’s nothing like having a little outfit accountability to get you motivated to actually get dressed each & every day.

but this week, i’m playing the game just a wee bit different. instead of showing you what i wore & how i wore it to the 2011 evo conference this past week… i’m asking YOU what should i wear & how should i wear it.

my brother is getting married THIS friday & i’m in wardrobe crisis. i still don’t know what i’m going to wear! i’ve have narrowed the choice down to six mustard-colored outfit possibilities. shoes & accessories have yet to be decided, but i’m hoping that maybe with your help i can find the perfect wedding ensemble.

so, without further ado, please help me decide what should i wear & how should i wear it…

what-i-wear-wednesday

{option a}
sweater: anthropologie
skirt: anthropologie

{option b}
dress: anthropologie
sweater: j. jil

{option c}
sweater: anthropologie
skirt: anthropologie

{option d}
jacket: talbots
skirt: talbots

{option e}
dress: anthropologie
sweater: j. jil

{option f}
sweater: anthropologie
skirt: anthropologie

so now it’s up to you. please, please, please tell me which outfit YOU think i should wear this weekend, to my brother’s wedding. option a, b, c, d, e or f?

together, we can make amazing wardrobe decisions. may the force be with you.

so what did YOU wear this week?

Hi. My choice would be D also. Classy, yet it says fun. Maybe some dressier heels. Hope this helps. Good luck. Look forward to seeing what you decide on.

Okay, you are adorable and so is your blog. How have I not seen it before? I vote for E! Can’t go wrong with an Anthro dress! Though I’d maybe wear it with the heels from C? Either way, you’ll look gorgeous– they’re all great choices!

Amber Scurlock July 13, 2011 at 6:23 am

I think A or D depending on the type of wedding – if it’s less formal, I like A best, but if it’s a formal church wedding, I think D might be more fitting! Have fun! :)

I vote the skirt from F, the shrug from E & add a tank or camisole underneath – ivory, pink, pale blue or yellow. Love that skirt!

I am in the minority and think A is best. It is fun and colorful and cheerful for the happy day. Also, the full skirt is playful. And I just think I’m digging the bright colors on you–looks best to me!

I think D is the most classic, if you’re going for that look. C also seems more dressy than the rest of the choices, although they’re all fabulous! Is that sweater in the store currently?
