Courthouse Dress Shopping: Take 1

When it comes to my courthouse ceremony ensemble, I am absolutely lost. I love fashion and I want to look my best on my wedding day, but I don't want to wear anything too traditional. I'm going to save an actual wedding dress for our celebration in October. So, I hit the mall last week in an attempt to find a short spring dress. These are all from the Juniors Formal Department at Macy's....

The new trend must be this faux-one-shoulder look. The dress was a pretty cream color but didn't feel right for the day.

This dress was almost the one... I even put it on hold as we walked around the rest of the day but decided against wearing white. I only want my wedding dress in October to be white. The cut was adorable, though and I LOVE a dress with pockets!

I was goofing off in this one because I felt like a bridesmaid or Homecoming Queen rather than a bride.


This was another perfect fit, besides the color. I just couldn't get over black reminding me of the office or a funeral. If I could find this exact dress in a print or spring color, I'd be so happy!

  1. I'm totally digging the dresses with pockets. you look beautiful in all of them, but i really like the last, black one. but...you're right, you may want something less...funeralesque.

  2. Agreed, pockets for the win. But I also thought the black one looked a little like you're a lawyer at the courthouse, not a bride.

    Dare I say thrift store/vintage shop? There's a pretty good one in Towson called Ten Car Pile-Up. Also, the skinny-mini French teacher at my work goes to Plato's Closet (http://www.platoscloset.com/index.html)every payday and she always looks fabulous.

    Lastly, J.Crew's website has some lovely dresses in their sale section right now.

  3. I know nothing about fashion, but the dress with pockets (both the white and black version) suits you well:) I'm sure you'll find something you love almost as much as Rose if you keep looking;) Good luck with your search for something springlike/in print...Peace n love.
