Its been raining non-stop in KC, but I am waiting for sunshine and warmer weather. I am waiting for special occasions to finally start happening again. The last year has been rough, with the special occasions we attended was via Zoom. yes, we made it a point to get dressed for that, coz why not. But now that we adults are vaccinated, we have been taking baby steps towards in-person events. That inspired me to try out a few special occasion dresses, or as I call it, wedding guest dresses. Well, we do have a few weddings to attend this Summer, so it all made sense to try out a few new dresses from Express. I have emphasized the fact that I have grown beyond body-con dresses. I love options that can dress up various kinds of bodies. I am petite and have what I call a mom-bod. Of the dresses I tried out, three definitely stood out, which I have linked below if you wanted to check out. 

When it came to a final choice, I opted for the Crinkled Off-The-Shoulder Midi Dress in Gold. Loved how comfortable it was. The chiffon with its boho was just perfect for a warm-weather party. I am wearing it in the Regular size, though in hindsight I could have also ordered the Petite. The dress is fully lined and isn't see-through at all. While I wear a size Small, in Tops from Express, I sized up to a Medium, for the dresses which I had tried. Every outfit is cut differently and it is important to find the right size in each style. I styled my dress with leopard pumps, a rattan purse, statement earrings,  sunglasses, and my red lip!  Played with the earthy tones of the dress, when I chose my shoes and purse for this outfit, off-setting them with the cool-toned earrings and red lips. Hoping you liked my options for warm-weather special occasions or wedding guest outfits! 

Post Edited: September 23, 2021: Since this outfit had given me a spot on the Express website, felt it was apt to wear to Kansas City Fashion Week FW'21!
