f/o Dress me for a wedding

[starvingscientist]

So I went to the mall and tried on what seemed like every dress in every store imaginable and almost gave up. Then my friend came and convinced me to check out JC Penny and picked out some things I would never have chosen for myself. I ended up buying this, but in dark navy Blue. Do you think its too much for a wedding (The sequins?) I am also curvier so it hugs my body a little more flatteringly than the model www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/month-long-values/one-sleeve-dress-with-sequin-strap/prod.jump?ppId=1e0371e&selectedLotId=2290347&selectedSKUId=22903470075&rootDimName=product%20type&navState=navState-:catId-:subcatId-:subcatZone-false:N-%204294966491:Ns-:Nao-0:ps-24:pn-1:Ntt-sequin:Nf-:action-guided%20navigation&topDim=Product%20Type&topDimvalue=dresses&dimCombo=Product%20Type&dimComboVal=dresses¤tDim=Product%20Type¤tDimVal=dresses&searchCount=81&sortType=Best%20Match&searchTerm=sequin&catId=SearchResults

Oh, so now Im looking for shoes if you think the dress is okay. Id rather not get some glitzy silver because of re-wearability plus I dont want to look like Im going to the prom. Any shoe ideas?

You can tell me if its ugly, or inappropriate for a wedding. It wasnt something I would normally buy, but it looked so good on and was unusual for me. I felt great in it, but I dont want to look stupid haha

I don't think it looks stupid or inappropriate for a wedding. The sequins are just on the shoulder so it doesn't look prom-ish.

And most importantly, you feel good in it. So screw what other people think!

I like it. I'd probably go for silver shoes because I would re-wear them, but if you don't want those, then nude shoes would be pretty inconspicuous and let the dress shine.

I shoot weddings, so believe you will not look over or under-dressed! Just right... I would with a muted silver shoes or nude... keep it simple.

I think it's cute and if you like how it fits your body, work it!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I was getting nervous that I would be the skanky wedding guest. Even though I want to make a statement, I dont want to make THAT kind of statement

I have nude shoes but I was worried they would read "brown" and clash with the silver?

Depends on the shade. I was thinking a pinky nude, not a beige nude.

Gotcha, I have two pairs of nude shoes, one a pinkier shade and one a beigy shade. Ill try it on with the pink pair and see how it looks- they are pumps which Im not sure are fancy enough for the dress.

I also really like these and would rewear them (I think?) maybe not... piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=19831&vid=1&pid=285660&scid=285660002

Silver shoes are fine as long as they arent too shiney or glittery!
