{outfit} Odille Artist Rendering Dress

This past weekend I went to my college best friend's wedding! I hadn't seen her since we graduated 4 years ago because she lives quite a while from me and we could never connect. It was great to see her on her special day and get to share it with her and was like no time had passed! We went right back to making crazy faces at each other from across the room. She and her fiance got married in the English Garden at Wickham Park and, since we were in nature, I thought it was the perfect day to wear the Anthropologie dress Lydia got me for my birthday last year after I saw it in a consignment store.  I'm sad it's taken me this long to actually wear it, but I wanted it's first outing to be perfect! It was only fitting that Lydia take my photos for me, so I had her take them a couple weeks before the wedding. It got some compliments, so I think I made the right choice!

It was a small wedding, less than 50 people, but I only knew one other person apart from my friend and her fiance, and that was the maid of honor. I also went to school with her and it was fun to catch up with her too! Although I stalk everyone on Facebook frequently, it's more fun to chat in person.  She even got me on the dance floor a few times which, if you know me, is a major feat! We were the crazy girls slow dancing together with all the couples.

Dress: "Artist Rendering" Dress by Odille (Anthropologie), Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Net-A-Porter), Necklace: House of Harlow c/o South Moon Under, Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Gilt), Bracelets: Ten Thousand Villages

  1. GORGEOUS dress. Your college best friend's wedding sounded like a blast. Glad you were able to see her after so long. It's always nice when you see someone after a long time and you go right back to your old friendship like no time has passed.

  8. It's a wonderful thing when you haven't seen someone in ages and when you finally do get to converse with them it's like no time has passed at all! So glad you had the perfect opportunity to wear your Birthday dress!

    I guess it doesn't matter how long it takes you to wear it -as long as you wear it amazingly well. :)
