I do, I do, I do

My brother just got married. In winter. On January 1st. Rehearsal dinner on NYE. If he wasn't my brother... 

Now, what does one wear to a freezing cold winter wedding on a holiday? I normally shy away from anything black against my face (black rapunzel hair + black clothes = terrible selfies) but changed my mind for this uber special occasion. I chose an exaggerated all over silver sequin black dress from Alice + Olivia. Best part of this glamorous frock? SLEEVES. Baby, it's cold outside.

Not just your average LBD. This one sparkles and shines!

Ladies, if you are wearing an open toe shoe for the occasion, bare leg it. Not even a sandalfoot stocking can save you here. A friend of mine told me about a heated lotion that bikers use on their legs...  

 

I could have danced for hours in these amazingly comfortable Joie gunmetal heels. I loved the combination of snake skin paired with the sequined silk.

Hairstylist I am not. I barely have time to run a brush through this mane. I'm lucky if I get to wash my hair a few times a week uninterrupted. But I decided to give it the ole college try and curl my own hair for the wedding. THAT was an experience I will never forget! (Note to self: maybe try practicing before the actual event next time.)

The wedding ended up being a huge success. I was beyond happy to welcome a new sister into my life. Her family ROCKED and seemed to love wine more than I do. (I know. Shocker.) May their lives be full of happiness and love! Mazel tov! 

 

Finished product. Voila!
