But enough mushiness, let's get down to business- the business of fashion. Since I never miss an opportunity to discreetly size up the style of guests that attend celebratory events- a wedding being no exception- I have begun to amass a list of Fashion Do's and Don't's for these vary occasions.
The number 1 rule to abide by, as a woman, who is attending a wedding but not as either the bride, or the groom, in some cases, is to NOT wear white. Let's be honest, the marriage is about the couple, the wedding is about the beautiful bride! Frankly most of today's brides shouldn't technically be wearing white either, but throw them a bone- it's their day!!!
While Pippa was only doing her maid of honor's duty and wearing what the bride requested, it would have been more appropriate if her dress was a blush, champagne or mauve. Let's not forget what was most remembered from the Royal Wedding- Pippa's tush as she walked up the aisle herself!
The next fashion don't is to NOT wear an inappropriately short dress if you are above the age of 45. If you think back to the last wedding or fancy bar mitzvah you attended, wasn't there at least one crazy, party-animal of a 60+ year old woman, dancing so violently you could see her spanks.... I mean the top of them??!! No one wants or needs to see that at a wedding or a bar mitzvah for that matter! We're celebrating young love and entrance into adulthood, not silver puma slut night! Jeez.
Finally, the best fashion DO that you can do at the "I Do's" is to wear something classy, something fun that reaches to at least the knee. You'll look appropriate, stylish and be comfortable enough to do some serious dancing!
