Preppy Dresses to Wear to Summer Weddings

Alongside what to buy for a baby shower, I also get lots of questions about what to wear as a guest to summer weddings. Since most are outside or require at some point being out in the hot sun, I say go with a short dress in a fun color or print and metallic shoes.

Personally, I would always want to be overdressed and not under dressed, so here are a few favorites that you can dress up with accessories for a wedding and dress down for everyday life. Keeping that in mind, think a fun color, a classic shape, a cool fabric and a fun jewelry or shoe.

Pazzi Dress from Calypso (ON SALE for 95.00)
Erin Louise has this dress and I love it, super cute shape, a dressy fabric and it has POCKETS. Love the flame color. Pair with these shoes in brushed gold and these earrings.

Shoshanna Trapeze Halter Dress (ON SALE for 210.00)
Love the print and the universally flattering neckline. Pair it with simple gold shoes like these and some gold hoops. Note to readers: Have these shoes and love them, but they do need some breaking in.

Banana Republic Wrap Dress
This is for petite gals like me or gals who like to cover up a little and not be so exposed on top. I really like the splash color, I would pair it with this bracelet, these earrings and these shoes.

Hope this helps - do you readers have a favorite summer wedding dress? Do tell.
