I may feel anything but dressed up during the week, but I must say, I LOVE getting dressed up when the occasion arises! I’m such a girlie girl at heart.
This morning, I thought I’d give you a peek in my closet and show you what I pulled together to wear to my brother-in-law Steve and future sis-in law Joanne’s wedding today! I’m so excited for their big day!!!!
My father in law Ken, Steve, & Joanne:
My bday celebraton 2009 (remember those pink walls??)!
With Brother in law Dave…more SHOTS!
The first time I met Joanne I KNEW she was the one for Steve. I even told Eric after we met her that they would get married. What can I say, I can see love a mile away!! I’ve never seen Steve happier. :)
Joanne is going to make a STUNNING bride. I can’t wait to see her! The wedding is held at a winery in Niagara on the Lake. The setting will be breathtaking no doubt.
Here’s the outfit I put together…
I found this dress in the nick of time last night at Le Chateau. It’s pinky and floral- and if you know me, you know I love that! Luckily, it fit me like a glove, which doesn’t happen often at Le Chateau…usually I can’t find anything for the life of me in that store.
The ruching is extremely figure flattering and hugs the curves (or creates some!).
I thought I was going to have to buy new shoes to go with the dress, but my girlfriend Ashley offered to lend me her wedges. I’ve worn stilettos at outdoor weddings before and it ain’t pretty walking on grass! ;) These will also be much more comfortable too.
My gold clutch is from 2008 from Aldo. I think it was $19.99!
My jewelry is from Swarovski which was a gift from Eric last Spring.
Shimmery eye shadow is from Chanel. I bought this set in 2008 for my wedding and I just love the colour palette.
A shimmery wrap if I get chilly outside. This was a gift from my mom last year. Need to iron this!
Painted my nails with this old bottle of Revlon ‘Pure Pearl’ which goes with my dress nicely.
One more coat to go after this.
Now I‘m off to try and pack LIGHTLY. This would be a first…
See you tomorrow for a wedding recap. 
Have a great day!
Good luck packing light. If you figure out the trick to this, please be sure to let me know because I have yet to figure it out ;)
haha it runs in my family ;)
I think it runs in the human race. Or, at least in the women. :)
I love the dress cant wait to see it on you!
That is a gorgeous dress! My dad travels for a living and so I used to know a lot of tricks for packing light, but somehow they got lost over the years. Have fun at the wedding!
Beautiful dress Angela!!!! I love the ruched ones from Le Chateau that are incredibly flattering
Love Niagara so i’m sure it will be a lovely wedding
Have fun :)
Beautiful!! One of my wedding guests wore the same dress in black and white – from Le-Chateau – She got SO many compliments on it too!!
Enjoy!! :)
Stunning dress! I can’t wait to see the “final” shots – I bet those pinks and reds in the floral looked great with your colouring!
I have that same nail polish! love the shiny effect it has! cute dress and have fun. I am loving the whole outfit haha :)
Have a great time at the wedding.
Can’t wait for the recap! I love seeing wedding photos. :D
You are going to look stunning! I can’t wait to see pictures from the wedding- sounds like a beautiful setting too!
Weddings can be so much fun! Have a great time :)
Congrats to Steve and Joanne!!! You are going to look GORGEOUS in this dress and we can’t wait to see pics of you and Eric!!
Have a blast! I love days full of LOVIN’!!!
xxoo
Gorgeous dress! I’m off to Le Chateau next weekend in search of a dress for our friends’ wedding on August 20th. I bought one there with ruching last year for a wedding and I got so many compliments! You are going to look amazing! Have fun!
Can’t wait to see the full ensemble! It looks GORGEOUS!
Gorgeous dress—and I love the gold wedge heels! Being comfortable and looking fabulous at the same is the best : )
I love everything you put together! :D the dress really is gorgeous!
Have a great time at the wedding! It sounds like it’s going to be beautiful!
You are going to look dazzling, Angela! Have a blast!!!
You would look stunning in a potato sack (organic of course!) so I know you will look absolutely amazing in this ~ not to mention ~ how could not just “feel” beautiful in this. A walking bouquet!
haha thanks for the giggle!
Love the dress! And totally remember that purse. Was sad when it didn’t match the wedding shoes I was trying to match that summer.
Have a great time–you’re going to look stunning, as always!
Beautiful dress…I would have never guessed Le Chateau! I love that Revlon Pure Pearl too :) Have fun!
Have a great time tonight! That dress is beautiful!
She will absolutely be a beautiful bride! I LOVE seeing such happy couples together. You will also look G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. in that dress! :) Have a stellar time!!!
I agree I was going to say the same thing for both gals! ;) I usually find it hard to put something together for a wedding b/c I don’t know if this makes you overdressed, or underdressed, etc., but this dress seems perfect Angela! Especially for such summery weather. :D Have funnnnnnnnn
That dress is beautiful! Have fun at the wedding!
I love getting dressed up for weddings!
Lovely eye shadow pallette! Do you keep yours until they run out? I can never seem to reach the end of mine, and then I figure it’s better to replace them, anyway…
Yea I tend to keep the *nice* stuff around til its gone…probably shouldnt!
Can’t wait to see that dress on you in pictures, it’s gorgeous! (hope that doesn’t sound too creepy! haha)
That’s a gorgeous dress! They really look so happy together, so sweet!
That dress is so lovely! I bet you will look smashing in it.
Can’t wait for more details about the wedding!
You clean up nicely! :) Have so much fun and congrats to your brother-in-law!
You’re going to look beautiful, naturally! Sounds like a great time for the family. I <3 weddings!
Love the dress! Can’t wait to see the wedding recap!
What a gorgeous outfit!
Enjoy the wedding and all the best to the happy couple :)
Have a great time, you beautiful Green Goddess – or should that be shimmering pink goddess? :D
Awe I love weddings! Have fun, can’t wait for your recap!
I can’t wait for the recap! I love weddings!
And I’m sure you will look stunning in that dress! :-)
beautiful dress and whole outfit, I bet you’ll look absolutely glowing! Have a blast.
I’ve never been to a wedding, but it sounds like so much fun!!
Getting dressed up + eating amazing cake + dancing = best night ever :)
OMG Joanna looks just like Penelope Cruz!
Yes she does!
have fun, angela! sounds like a gorgeous venue. my cousin’s getting married in NOTL in june 2012 at a winery…would be too funny if it’s the same one!
your outfit sounds beautiful – can’t wait to see photos!
i love that you have accessories and make-up that are a few years old…me, too!
I LOVE your dress! You’re going to look absolutely gorgeous! And I’m sure the bride will look fine too :)
Your whole ensemble looks wonderful, Angela. I love that you borrowed shoes since they are sort of a one-time need anyway and yes, stilettos and grass do NOT mix!
And Chanel eyeshadow. I posted a week or so ago that MAC is wonderful. Except that Chanel is BETTER :) It’s in it’s own price point league but it’s just the best stuff.
Can’t wait to actually see pics of you in that your outfit. The dress is definitely NOT a frumpy number :)
your dress is stunning! Have fun!
Awww, lovebirds are so cute! :) And getting dressed up is very fun, indeed!
That dress is GORGEOUS.
I have the exact opposite problem with Le Chateau.. I’ll wander in randomly and fall in love with multiple dresses. I never let myself try them on though because I have nowhere to wear their pretty dresses and I am so cheap that I can’t justify spending $150-200 on a dress I might wear once. You’re dress is really pretty though! Can’t wait to see it on!
Your dress is gorgeous!
LOVE your dress! Can’t wait to see how it looks on, I bet you will look gorgeous!
uuuuuuh Angi I love your dress, bet it suits u real well :) pictures pleaseeeeeeeee
my host family loved your homemade granola btw
I am right now touring the east coast and loving it wohooooo ! I do reviews of all the restaurant I go to and I had my first larabar (they dont sell those in Austria)
all the best xo
Aww, you and the bride are going to look gorgeous! Have such a fun time at the wedding and reception!
what a cute post Angela. Have fun and looking forward to the recap. :)
The clothes at Le Chateau never fit me well either – they’re all made for tall people LOL! But I love your dress. Great find! :)
