Petite Fashion Challenge #16: Summer Wedding

This month's Petite Fashion Challenge is being hosted by Petite on a Penny. The challenge is:

Summer Wedding: Create an outfit for a Summer Wedding. For Bonus points, try to make your outfit, head to toe come under $100 (or exclude shoes and accessories to meet the $100 mark).

I have been so behind on the blogging world that I almost missed this challenge. Thanks to Jessy tweeting about it, I was able to squeeze in at the last minute.

A word of caution if you are interested in this dress (I believe it's sold out online but it's recent- style #278117), the fit is very wide. I also bought the refined jersey dress in mystical green but that is also too wide- see here.  I have this dress pinned for the sake of this post but the waist and sides will need to be slimmed.  I really like the color and don't have any sheath dresses with sleeves so I'll be getting this tailored. This is my second attempt at layering a collared shirt under a dress. It was much easier because of the material - it doesn't show the lumps as much and it helped that the dress was loose. See how I layered a chambray blouse underneath my Loft sweater dress here.  I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with:)
