Summer Wedding Steals

While I was in Salt Lake City for AP Grading I quite enjoyed having time in the evenings to just wander through their amazing outdoor mall. (No really, it's amazing!) While in Forever21 I stumbled across this absolutely gorgeous dress. I tried it on, just for fun, and fell in LOVE! My thought process went something like this. "It's gorgeous!...But do I need it?...Where would I wear it?...How much is it?" I fully expected the price tag to be through the roof since it is made of such gorgeous material and fully lined like a gown should be. $35...I kid you not...$35!!! I texted my sister to verify that I should buy it (haha, that's what sisters are for, right!?) and walked out of the store excited to find someplace to wear it.

It's always good to have a nice dress on hand (a nice dinner date, chaperoning Prom next year?!) and since I wanted to share such a great steal with you all I thought this would make such a perfect dress for a summer wedding. I always wonder what to wear to a summer wedding and Forever21 is a GREAT place to shop for summer wedding guest fashion. Prices are reasonable and I really love their Contemporary collection. Most of the dresses in that collection seem a little longer and seem to be made of better quality materials. The dress I'm wearing above sold out online before I could get it on the blog but Forever21 has a lot of other great dresses for those summer weddings you may be attending. I will link a number of other dresses from their contemporary collection below.
