BB you have totally turned me on to Kohls!! Here is a dress option, and my outfit for a rehearsal dinner on Thursday! http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/lclaurenconrad/apparel/dresses/PRD~913509/LC+Lauren+Conrad+Pleated+Dress.jsp

Question: Can I wear a black dress to a wedding??? It is either this dress or black for the wedding day.

Ahh that is such a great find! Perfect look for less. :-)

I say you can always wear black to a wedding, just pick a festive style and fun accessories to keep the look from being austere.

Love her outfit!
But...Is it just me or does she look unhealthily thin? Or is it just the picture?

I have a blue and white strip dress in my closet that I’ve been figuring out how to wear for over 2 years now! This helps!

Do you have any suggestions for those of us who are tall and therefore unable to fit the teensy sizes at Lily Boutique? I would have to weigh only 100 lbs at my height to fit in the largest size that place seems to carry. I really didn't need the ED trigger this morning, BB. :-(

great feedback, i'll try to include a better range of options. i'm tall, too, so the majority of dresses at fast fashion chains are too short on me. thx for the reminder :-)
