I’ve read the phrase “dressy casual” so many times, I no longer know what those words mean. Give me specificity! Push me out of my sartorial comfort zone!
I check the dress code on the invite again, like a hiker lost deep in the woods seeking guidance from my map.“Cocktail attire,” it reads. Useless. I click on. Before me appears the Annabelle dress in Mulberry. Have I seen this one before? A thousand times? Am I walking in circles?attire feels like.
A unique dress code doesn’t have to mean wacky outfits or even a theme Even a slight turn of phrase can guide your guests out of the dense outfit shopping thicket I find myself stuck in again and again, roughly one month before a wedding.I asked my networks for memorable dress codes they’ve been urged to follow for weddings.

I’ve just seen it too many times.
