I wore Nanette Lepore's aptly named "You'll Be Mine" dress on Saturday to celebrate the after-nuptials of some friends. The groom's grandparents reside on a beautiful farm in Evans City, north of Pittsburgh and famous because of
Night of the Living Dead (which supplied some of the film's location).
You can see the back of the barn here.
I carried this Marc by Marc Jacobs Owl bag that I forgot I even had. It was a Beacon's Closet find from a New York visit a while back. I tucked it into a mismatched dustbag where it lived until I was cleaning this week. Anyway, the wedding after-picnic included a set by the wonderful
Harlan Twins. Although we didn't camp, we had such a nice time and my heart was warmed by the happy and joyous looks the bride and groom kept exchanging. I even teared up a little, relating to their excitement and the fruition of so much anticipation. I've found it to be increasingly difficult to contain the emotional overwhelm I've always felt at weddings as my own wedding nears.

You look stunning, Jess! Did you just trim your hair? It looks fantastic. Great find on that bag, even if it was already in your closet.
I'm still undecided on marriage, but you sure are warming me up to it. I can't wait to see photos of your wedding!
Thank you Tien! I didn't trim it but I am trying to do a little more with it. I have a new strategy of washing only weekly and conditioning only, in between. But swimming has undone some of that.
I was undecided for a while too. I wanted for a long while to wait until the right was extended to all consenting couples. But a number of practical and familial reasons have made it a good time for us to wed. I do not recommend doing it while trying to finish a dissertation though. haha
Oh, I think this is my favorite outfit yet on you. That dress is perfection and so flattering!
i LOVE that dress on you! you look beautiful!!! and i love big red barns..i wanted to get married in one..but someone already got to it before me on my wedding date. xoxo
What a gorgeous dress - and so perfect on you. Also, I covet that purse.
You look so fabulous in this dress--very va-va-voom with the belt. And have I mentioned before that you have great, great hair? If I haven't, you have great, GREAT hair.
I think this is my favorite dress on you ever.
Amblus, thank you so much!
Gee, you are too sweet! We wanted a barn/farm site for our wedding too but the rent-able ones were all surprisingly astronomical in price.
A-dubs, Thank you!!
Dorky Medievalist, ha! Thanks for the comment on my hair.
Desert Flower, aww! I take that as a vote for wearing this dress more often!
What an awesome location for a wedding!
In typical Nanette Lepore fashion, that dress is so feminine and pretty. You looked like a million bucks!
