NCEPR: Dress me for my parents' vow renewal?

[redheadbaker]

My parents' 40th wedding anniversary is in early October. They are renewing their vows in the same church they were married in, then having a reception at a hall. So, I'm assuming I should wear something like what I'd wear to a wedding.

I'm tall (5'9") and wear a size 12. I have a long torso and long legs, so I tend to avoid dresses that fall mid-thigh, because they look super short on me.

Suggestions?

What do you expect the weather to be like? What region of the country?

I would probably wear something wedding-like.

Philadelphia. The weather could be anything from high 70s to low 50s.

I like JCPenney for something like this - they're always having a sale and it's easy to find a dress for under $100, and lots of times, under $50.

I'm from the rural Midwest and if my parents were to have a vow renewal, my mom would expect me in something like this for an afternoon event: tinyurl.com/y4m74van
and something like this for an evening event: tinyurl.com/yxqc4leo

Given the weather I'd do a dress or jumpsuit that you can pair with a fancy blazer and sparkly shoes.

I'd look at Rent the Runway. They have tons of options, especially if it's an outfit you don't anticipate getting multiple wears out of.
