where would you shop for this?

[saraandmichael]

my BIL is getting married in mid-october in maryland.

his wedding starts at 1, with reception immediately after.

i don't have anything that isn't too dressy for this, and i was thinking of beginning to look online for something.

where would you look?

[LLL]

maybe macy's, what's your budget?

[saraandmichael]

i don't really have one. i don't want to spend a bunch of money if its a dress i will likely wear once. if its something i can see myself wearing again for some other reason, then i don't mind spending a bit on it.

its going to be pretty chilly up there in october, so i am thinking i should have something that doesnt make me look like a floridian dumbass.

ATL or Banana

This is the part that is tough because it could be 80 or it could be 60 at that time of the year.

[saraandmichael]

hmmmm...maybe i will just get something that i could wear again down here and buy a cardigan to match it in case its cool.

What the hell does one wear at 1 in fucking October? I'm not sure why this would piss me off but it would. Normally, I'd say sundress and jcrew has an awesome one that I adore. But not for October. Hmmm.

This is a rarely-mentioned place, because it's hit or miss, but try Maurices.

I am a cheapskate so I tend to hit up Dressbarn or the local consignment store.

I have an unholy love for Maurice's. Pretty much everything I own that's dressy and not handmade comes from them.

I would look at ATL, Macy's and Banana. I would bring a cardigan just in case.

[eightangryreindeer]

You'll definitely want layers.

A nice sleeveless dress in a lightweight wool blend would be good, with a jacket or cardigan.

Also you fuckers better tap a day on the front or the back of this!!!

[saraandmichael]

habs, yes! who the hell gets married at 1 pm?

laptop, its going to be such a quick trip and michael said he doesn't want to have to take off work for it.

Nice!

I love looking at their themes. When I'm feeling particularly girly, I give them a gander. My wedding shower suit was purchased there.

Hmm, we could be here all day if I listed everything I own from them. But last I remember, I'm up to at least three dresses, 10 tops, four pairs of dress pants, two skirts, three cardis/sweaters, one purse, one wallet and untold amounts of jewelry.

I was once called by the store to let me know that since I was one of their top 100 customers, I would be getting 20% off my next purchase.

I couldn't decide if I was more embarrassed or excited.

[underwaterrhymes]

I am a fan of White House Black Market. I have also found some super cute dresses at The Limited.

[Nicole]

nordstrom. you could definitely find something under $100 and afternooon wedding appropriate.

[tacokick]

Layers are a must! Like someone said, it could be summer temps or cold that time of year. By cold I mean 65-50, not freezing.

[scotty]

I'd be excited. I have my eye on a purple floral t-shirt with purple cardigan. It's in one of the themes.
