WIW : Neice's Wedding

Hi Ladies,

Well the day finally arrived and I wanted to thank you for your help deciding on what to wear:) I was very happy with my outfit and the dress is just so comfortable. I felt as fresh in it at the end of the day as I did at the start.

#1
A quick photo before we left for the 2 hour drive.

#2
Given I wore red pumps and red necklace, I chose my black and cream bag as I didn't want too matchy matchy.

#3
Didn't get a photo wearing it, but this is the trench I wore over the dress until the reception. It was very cold and the coat provided alot more warmth than I expected.
My old back trench was retired recently so this is a new purchase and it's first outing.

Outfit details:

Jacqui E Dress
Shoes of Prey Red Pumps
Diana Ferrari Bag
Limited Editions Trench
Red beads, Thrifted

#4
Family photo. DH, MIL, Master 9 & Moi. I didn't realise until I looked at the photo that we were all quite well co-ordinated. It was DH's sister's daughter who was getting married.

#5
Master 9 & Grandma. My MIL and I went shopping for her outfit a couple of weeks earlier and instead of going to her usual shops she was keen for me to take her somewhere a little more modern:) She is wearing black pants, flat shoes, a black and white pussy bow blouse and red jacket with ribbon trim, both from Noni B. Her bag is a LV inspired cherry bowling bag, which she loves and uses all the time. I thought she looked lovely and she was complimented on her outfit by a number of people during the day. Red is her favorite color, and at 84 she still LOVES clothes.

Thanks for looks, and again thanks for helping pull it all together:)

xxx Deborah

    You look chic and gorgeous, Debs! That outfit is an 11 out of 10!

    How fab Master 9 looks too - it's fun to see him match dashing Dad :). And Granny matched you! Just look at her sweet cherry bag. I love it!

  • christy replied 11 years ago

    You look stunning! Love the choice of the black and white bag, which I'm sure looked *amazing* with that fab trench! The family picture is so sweet - you all look so great and fabulously coordinated, intentional or not. Your boys are quite handsome and Granny looks great - love that cherry bag! :)

  • pil replied 11 years ago

    Deborah, you look perfect. I'm with CJH and am looking forward to seeing your new jacket.

    Does Master 9's numeration change each year as he has birthdays? I love that nickname.

  • jayne replied 11 years ago

    Gorgeous Deb! But you must take the most credit, you have impeccable taste

  • JR replied 11 years ago

    Another thumbs up. You look wonderful.

  • replied 11 years ago

    You all look so wonderful! I'm glad you felt comfortable and fab all day long in that superb outfit. The bag was the perfect choice with your red shoes and necklace. I LOVE your new trench!

  • Scarlet replied 11 years ago

    Gorgeous, perfect, elegant, stunning, my word! I love the finishing touches with the bag and the trench. Fun to see the family too and to know MIL is still having fun with her outfits.

  • Vicki replied 11 years ago

    Deborah, you look so amazing and stylish and I loved "meeting" your family and must say that together you brought a fantastic, coordinated look. I hope your niece, her now-husband and everyone had fun at the reception.

  • merwoman replied 11 years ago

    Perfection Deborah! Love all the individual elements you have so carefully chosen - and the result is truly greater than the sum of it's parts.
    Gorgeous family - thanks for sharing!

  • Parsley replied 11 years ago

    Oooh, that dress and the whole ensemble are just perfect on you- you look beyond stunning!

    And what a pleasure to see your whole lovely (and color coordinated!) family.

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    You look beautiful in your outfit and I love your family portrait. You should be very proud!

  • Deborah replied 11 years ago

    Wow thanks for your kind and lovely words about my outfit and my family. They are awesome! My MIL is such an incredible woman. She worked most of her adult life in the commuity sector and is still very committed to her local community as well as overseas projects. My mum lives nearly 3 hours away and I am really blessed to have my MIL close, we get on extremely well, share a lot in common and as much as I love my own mum, MIL and I are quite similar, my Mum and I are very different :)

    DH was getting over the flu so it was a long day for him. He was the MC for the Reception, and Master 9 was a little legend. There were only two other children a the wedding, one in the wedding party and the other a toddler, so Master 9 occupied himself, chatted to people and was a joy.

    Yes pil each February Master 9's number rolls over:)

    May I say that prior to YLF, I would have worn this dress with sheer black hose, black pumps, black handbag and black coat... you have brought light and color to my life:) Thank you :)

  • Jonesy replied 11 years ago

    Gorgeous! I love that you are now wearing some red, Deborah! Hubby is looking quite sharp despite getting over the flu, your MIL looks fab (and what a gift to get along so well with her!), and Master 9 is looking delightful in his sneakers and racing jacket.

  • Krista replied 11 years ago

    WoW! You look fabulous. Thanks for sharing such lovely pics of the day - looks like it was wonderful!

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    What fun to see the whole family! You all look terrific! My mom has great style, too, and relies on me to help her cull through older items and make the best choices.
