weddings.

my friend "b" got engaged on thursday, which would make girlfriend number 3 this year. i'll admit that while i was very excited to hear the news, it also put a little damper in my day. after about 5 minutes of feeling sorry for my single ass, i decided to think of the nice dresses i get to wear over the next two years instead. no, i have no budget for these dresses, but i can dream!

some traditional fare:

oscar de la renta s/s 09 _ carolina herrera s/s 09

i'd wear this yellow dress with a white belt, i think, and certainly a longer slip under the white:

celine s/s 09

some non-traditional fare:

miu miu s/s 09 _ versace s/s 09

i know you aren't supposed to wear white to weddings, but i say: rules are made to be broken. i love how architectural these white dresses are (including the versace above) and i think the cuts are modern enough to not compete with (most) bridal gowns:

vivienne westwood s/s 09 _ salvatore ferragamo s/s 09

my other friend, may, has asked me to be her bridesmaid and the wedding will be pretty non-traditional, so i would be choosing my own dress. as far as bridesmaid dresses go, i would love to be outfitted in either of the following:

valentino s/s 09 _ christian siriano s/s 09

i am drooling over the valentino! the christian siriano dress is really not that close a contender. haha
