Dress for wedding in mid-December

[Anonymous]

Any suggestions? I'm 5'7, 135lbs (size 6), light brown hair and eyes. My style is pretty classic.

The wedding is in Northern New Jersey, so it'll be cold. I haven't had occasion to really dress up in a very long time, so I'm not really clued into what's new/in/out in terms of wedding attire.

time of day? How formal?

Presumably you won't be outside (at least not for long, and you'd wear a coat), so the temperature isn't a big deal. But wintery jewel tones would be nice, if they are good colors for you.

I would wear a cocktail dress like most weddings I go to and just closed toed shoes. Maybe black tights if they go well enough with the dress and add a shawl.

The fall wedding I was at last weekend had 90% of women in black dresses.

black dresses.... I guess it saves money, as they can also use the dresses for funerals, but it doesn't seem much fun. They probably all arrived in grey cars.

I wore a dark blue dress to an evening wedding recently. I had on some sparkly earrings and a necklace so it wasn't too drab. I was going to do something interesting with my shoes/purse but I just wound up going with black because that's what I had on hand. It looked nice enough.

This is my go-to wedding dress for fall and winter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/138-JS-Boutique-PLUM-Draped-Jersey-Gown-/231079251578#ht_231wt_1141

Bought at Nordstrom - if you search their site for this brand, there are several very cute long dresses that would fit the bill.
