Another what to wear (wedding question)

[jdubble]

Taffeta is not my thing... plus, it's way too hot for summer.

see i'm a sucker for anything shiny so i'd jump at the opportunity to wear taffeta and i forget that june can be hot when you're not on the west coast. it'd still be cool enough for the jacket here in june.

but definitely show off those muscles!

It could be cool enough for the jacket, but it's really humid in Philadelphia in the summer.
Anyway, this is what I am thinking of, either in the graphite color or black. I would get some type of shawl or shrug to wear if it's cool.
It looks better when you click on the other colors, not on the original picture; you can see the chiffon layer.

I don't think I will upstage the bride, since she is 22 and a former Marine. She is gorgeous and has muscles.

ooooooooo the dark purple (spiced wine) one is pretty.

Ordinarily, I would agree with that. However, last June was really cool and rainy. Just saying....

BTW, love that JCrew dress!

OK, I have "approval" for the black dress. At least I know I can wear it somewhere else! I liked the dark purple, too, but the bridesmaids are wearing a shade of berry/purple.
I will get some kind of shawl/wrap, as it could be cool and rainy, as it was all of last June, here in New England, too.
I haven't met my DIL's mom, but according to my son, she is "not fat." I have seen pictures of her and she looks pretty good! But, she doesn't cycle... and she's about 14 years younger than me. She got married at 18 and had kids at , 19, 20, etc., etc.
Can you tell there's a bit of a difference in our families?
