Trying On Wedding Dresses- Part 1

It’s time to start planning for my wedding! First stop- looking for dresses over at one of my fav spots- RK Bridal in NYC. A couple weeks ago, I stopped in and tried on these 2 beauties. Not yet sure what the theme is going to be so I tried on 2 different ones: ballroom gown and laidback/flirty. I’m def more of the ballroom kinda gal, but it was fun to see the different vibes these two dresses had! Check out the pics and fun video clip : )

Styling wise, I think dress #1 works great for the traditional ballroom reception style wedding, while dress #2 is great for a chill beach style “I Do”.

Which one do you like better, Dress #1 or #2? I’m naturally drawn to #1, but would love to hear your thoughts! I haven’t settled on one that I’m obsessed with yet so I’ll be doing some more dress shopping later this month! Stay tuned!

I’m wearing: Old Navy leopard coat / Gap sweater (love this too!) / Rock & Republic faux leather pants / ASOS booties / Bkyo clutchBetsey Johnson bracelet / Capwell + Co cat ring / Mercura shades 

Lips: MAC’s Ruby Woo (one of my all time faves)

When it’s cold I always find myself reaching for some variation of a chunky knit sweater + leather pants. The look is warm, surprisingly stylish and easy when you have only those 5 minutes to get yourself together.

I’m especially loving my new clutch by Bkyo. It’s a great pop with nice African flair. Perfection.
