After what feels like a year and a half of cancelled social engagements it is so nice to have places to go and people to see! Last month Mark and I drove a few hours out into the British countryside for the wedding of two of his friends. They are both British and it was a very traditional Church of England wedding where I got to wear a fascinator!
I picked up this dress from my first time shopping at the British department store Fenwick in May. This MAX&Co. Primula Sleeveless Belted Midi Dress was originally £190 and I got it when it was marked down to £50. I am wearing a small but if you are an XL they to have one left on the site! I had originally thought the dress would work well for my cousin’s wedding in Chicago but when I tried it on with this navy hat I knew it was a perfect fit.
To be truly accurate, this is not a hat, but a fascinator as it is essentially a headband and you have seen it before as i wore it 2.5 years ago as part of My Royal Ascot Attire. I paired with black pumps and the shoes are some of my all time favorites, the Ema High Block Heel Pumps. They are from Target and extremely affordable but they seem to be sold out in every shade and size online so I have linked similar ones below. Take a look at my British wedding outfit:
Hat | John Lewis & Partners Navy Fascinator. Bracelet | David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet
Nails | Kiss imPRESS Press-On Nails in Miracle Shoes | Ema High Block Heel Pumps
And one shot of Mark and I because he actually agreed to a photo!

Too cute being so British. Really suits you and you two look adorable together.
Must have been nice to feel a bit normal and go to a wedding and get all dressed up.

The whole look is perfect and those hats always make me smile. So posh and British and fancy.
Must make one feel like a princess when you put it on. Looks like it was a fun night.

Such a pretty pattern and love the flow of the dress.
Must have been really fun to dance in. Wish you had a video of it.
