    What I Wore: Mother's Day Edition

    For all of you that have sent "Ask Emily" questions about what to wear to your friend's summer wedding/graduation/baby shower/ etc, LISTEN UP because this post is for you! The Alice & Olivia dress I'm wearing in the picture I posted of Ricki and I leaving church on Mother's Day is the perfect, universally flattering dress that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.

    For an event that is more casual you can just throw on some flats, a cross body bag, and some fun jewelry like I did. But if you're going somewhere that calls for something a little fancier, I'd pair it with some nude heels, a little clutch, and a sparkly necklace. Do you have any fashion tips for summer weddings? Leave it in the comments!

    • Emily, I love this blog!

      Ok girl, i have a question, it's kinda personal, but i hope you know where i am coming from.

      how tall are you? what pant size do u take and how much do u weigh. Now, normally i would never ask a lady this, but you are my ' need to work out, to look like emily' role model!!! And if i looked like you i would have no problem saying.. hey this is me.. here is am. It drives me crazy when people mentioning no names, say they are now a size 2 and weigh 120 ( when clearly they are not )... so can u be honest and help us out!!!

      I LOVE your sunglasses! what brand are they/where are they from? I need a new pair of shades this summer.

      Super cute, Emily but A) it's sold out and B) it's expensive... It would be awesome to do a post with similar options that are less expensive. Like a splurge and save.  

    • Emily,you sure do take a beautiful picture,ricki too,,love ur pictures,always..have a grt day..  

    • For weddings I always think it's important to wear colors that will not clash with the color scheme of the wedding! Neutrals usually work best.

      Love the dress! It's definitely universally flattering and paired with a great statement necklace is perfect for a wedding (or Engagement photos with Laurel Belle Photography!). Loving your blog Emily! Keep up the good work! :)

    • Where did you get Ricki's dress??? Brand? Thanks!  

    • love the sunglasses! brand name?!  

    • Thank God for Mothers. If it weren't for my Mother, Loving you would be impossible.

      So cute. Love the pop of color with the turquoise...I wear that combination often and it just makes me happy. Ricki is so cute!  

    • I have two tips for summer weddings....1) NEVER wear white, white is for the bride only and you may offend her or look like you are competing wih her. 2) consider the location, if the wedding is outdoors and you will be walking or standing on grass wedges may be a better option than stilettos :)

      absolutely LOVE that dress, emily! you look stunning!  

    • Hot pink is perfect! It was my go-to color in middle school - and now its back :). I love those wedges, and would love a shoe post with your favorite wedges. I am researching for that "perfect" one, and can't find it! I love the nude one you posted - but am also looking for something a little more casual. Any preferences?

      I love your sunglasses! What brand are they? I'm loving neon pink right now, and it looks fab with the contrasting turquoise necklace!  

    • Love the outfit! I can't wait for your jewelry line to come out, definitely going to pick up this necklace :)

    • Emily, This note is for you. I hope that you enjoy the song, lyrics, and the romantic meaning. A former, famous entertainer sings the song, and while it was written decades ago, it still has a moving message. Love to you and Ricki, always.
