The MFA Wedding

Warning: cleavage looks more prominent here than it ever normally would (unless you're a camera trying to get a close-up of a St. Christopher medallion and this dress's amazing scallop/ruffle details). Trust me on this. You'll see in the next photo. With that said, I broke down a little while ago and nabbed a cropped cardigan from Target in my favorite: teal. I'm so glad I did, because even though there's still a window to transition from summer to autumn, it was absolutely freezing on the wedding morning.
Luckily, one of the most amazing and creative couples known to man (he whittled her an engagement ring when the one he'd ordered didn't arrive on time!) opened the (full) bar minutes after the wedding and things warmed up pretty quickly after that.

I love this dress (courtesy of the lovely and amazing LHdM!) for so many reasons. Little details like the scalloping AND polka dots around the bust and in the v down the back (not pictured. Too cold). It reveals little (or a lot, depending on the angle) and creates a nice, flowing line with great length. I feel comfortable wearing it around the department and at weddings, which is great because a faculty member officiated and many other faculty members were in attendance.
And here's how the dress went with my trusty grey Kenzies.

Hope everyone else has had a wonderful weekend! What do you normally wear to academic weddings?
