It's wedding season, and boy do I know it! I am a bridesmaid in three weddings this summer! And thankfully, all the dresses are gorgeous. Phew!
I've noticed more and more designers are offering styles that can be worn after the wedding–yet are still chic enough for that special occasion. Gotta love a 2-for-1!
I'm definitely going to make sure that the dress I choose for my bridesmaids are double-duty as well. I was recently inspired by the dress choice by my friend Daisy (see below–mine will be in a solid Sea blue), who is getting married at the end of this month in the Dominican Republic. The dresses are made by LulaKate–and I'm already fantasizing about the places I can wear the dress after the wedding.
To Work: add a wide belt and cardigan
To Dinner/Night-Out: add a pair of high strappy pumps and layer on some bold necklaces
To Brunch: add ballet flats and a jean jacket or lightweight blazer
LulaKate strikes the perfect balance between elegance and functionality. The line is based in Charleston, South Carolina and was created in 2003 by Katherine McDonald. The made-to-order dresses are inspired by the graceful charm of the South—yet, the classic styles will look amazing in any location. They are reasonably priced for bridesmaid dresses as well (especially ones you can wear again): about $285-$350. The ruffles, cinched waists, vibrant colors and whimsical beauty are just a few of the amazing details found in these dresses.
Just take a look at these fabulous frocks:

your ideas re deodorants are OK, but there is a better one than the six. most M. D.s are now aware that the aluminum in commercial deodorants are, over a period of time, a causitive agent of dementia, and should be avoided. the best deodorant (and long lasting) is milk of magnesia rubbed under the arms. just a little goes a long way, and you don’t smell like you just came out of a French (you know what) house. try it! and no alumina. you will be surprised at the total lack of body aroma. i do suggest you purchase a different bottle, plastic with a sliding head, for dispensing.
let me know your thoughts. quicker and easier. i still carry a small commercial stick when traveling for a day or two; otherwise i carry a small bottle, same as sun screen and moisturizer.

The blue dress in the second picture is the best. It is very flattering to many body types, sizes and shapes.
