hi ms Leyn!
im going to attend a wedding this coming april. medyo ngayon palang nagpe-prepare nako kasi kapatid ng boyfriend ko yung groom. kabado kasi ako dahil may mga relatives sila na first time ko mami-meet. and yung bride kasi, first time ko rin mami-meet.
medyo paranoid na ko ngayon pa lang kaya naghahanap na ko ng dress na isusuot. sa dami kasi ng choices ko, hindi ko alam kung anong bibilhin. sa online shops palang naman ako tumitingin-tingin. pero i prefer na sa botique ako makabili para masukat ko muna at makita kung babagay sa kin. i really want to look nice on that day yet simple. i stand 5′2 in height. morena ako and hindi naman ako masyadong payat. im only 20 years old.
advice naman kung saang botiques ako pwede maghanap na hindi gaanong pricey pero unique yung styles na hindi pang-oldies yung dating at hindi cheap tignan, yung accesories din na dapat ko gamitin. pati yung itsura ko sana from top to toe. hindi kasi ako pala make-up eh. pati ano bang magandang gawin sa buhok ko, since summer yun? *btw, yellow and gray ata yung motif nila.
thanks so much!!

Dear innah,
I get that you’re planning to buy a dress for a wedding event and you’re scouting for stores where to buy. Well, I don’t want to have duplicate answers so you might want to check this link, which I’ve already recommended for prom dresses. (Let me just add the stores, People are People and Calliope.) I won’t suggest something bongga and attention catchy so a simple cocktail dress is a good choice. Be particular with the design so the dress would fit a formal party and won’t seem to prom-y. Just like meeting the parents, leave a good impression and avoid overdressing.
With your skin tone, yellow can complement morena complexion depending on the shade you choose. Pick light yellow (close to off-white) and avoid too much prints. Take a dress with solid color or simple design then if you want more details, add a black or dark gray belt. Assuming that you don’t have problems with your figure, then any shoulder/neckline style will fit you.

On shoes, wear a mid-heels sandals. If your dress or accessories don’t have the “gray accent”, then you can apply the color with your shoes. Come up with an entire outfit like this:

And as I always advise, a simple jewerlry set can make you look classy despite of wearing a plain dress. Borrow a set of golds or pearls. Also, everyone draws attention to your face first so make sure you have the right make-up colors – bronze, beige, and brown.
Lastly, style your hair up with a tidy knot instead of pony tail.
You still have a month, good luck!
Love Lots,
Leyn
