Classic Wedding Guest Outfit

An over stuffed post box and lopsided pin board are a clear sign that WEDDING SEASON is here. For June and July our weekends are wedding centric with celebrations from Oxford to Ireland (and one or two in Cambridge). And this year I plan to change my ways avoiding the usual last minute panic of deciding what to wear.
This weekend we're off to Oxford for Grace and Chad's wedding. I am particularly excited as apart from being an old university friend from South Africa, Grace wrote a song from Alex to me for our wedding 6 and a half years ago. The lyrics and the music. Pretty amazing right?
I hope you enjoy our Wedding Guest Outfit for this week.
