Attire for an outdoor wedding in Colorado? (Thursday Morning SHOPPING CONTEST!)
When I first received this query, I bubbled over with joy:
What do you wear to an outdoor wedding in September in a small mountain town in Colorado? The bride said we will likely see live elk. Tights? Fur? Boots? Chunky sweaters over a cocktail dress? Is it ok to wear a long dress?
I got as far as asking my CO and former CO pals what the weather will be like there in September (Answer: Gorgeous) and then I was stumped. It's like this question is just TOO AWESOME.
So here's the deal.
Put together an outfit for our Colorado wedding guest featuring at least one item from Shopbop. They've got a pretty terrif selection of dresses, but feel free to shop their shoes, boots, sweaters, etc, if you find a killer dress somewhere else.
Extra points if you somehow manage to work in the elk theme.
Paste as many entries as you like in the comments below (one entry per comment), and pls follow the "HOW TO MAKE FANCY LINKS" instructions on the right-hand side of the blog to make everything nice and clickable.
I'll give you until 5pm pst on Monday afternoon (4/30), and then on Tuesday I'll post my top five-ish outfits for you guys to vote on. *UPDATE: I've extended the deadline to 12pm pst on Thurs (5/3).*
A $200 Shopbop gift certificate goes to the winner. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

If it is an afternoon wedding in early September, be prepared for rain. And wear layers.
ReplyDeleteNeon dress, Patterson Kincaid: http://tinyurl.com/7gax2y2

Read the Printed Word!
Deletelisten tghere are fancy link instructions for a reason! try again.
woah ok!
Deletedress: patterson j kincaid
boots: acne
boots: shakuhachi
leather jacket: iro
and fleecy tights: from plush
Firstly, I love Jennifer Lilly on etsy, whose dresses are cute, easy, and pack well. Only thing is it does have elastic at the waist (thus the "easy") so a belt is in order.
ReplyDeleteAdd a leather jacket for warmth/street cred, and pair of lace-up flats
so you don't break your shit everywhere in case they ask you to climb mountains and shit, and you're good to go.
Except for, you know, accessories like this dude and some black tights.
Should I find black tights?
looks like i know what i'll be doing all day.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I've never been to Colorado, but I'll give it a shot:
ReplyDeleteA lovely dress with some drape, with a wrap as the sun goes down, topped with a leather jacket for if the wind picks up. Finished with a girly clutch to balance the jacket and rain/mud proof flats, just in cases.
Oh, with this elk necklace, of course.
DeleteThere was no budget listed, but I wanted to take it easy on this lucky wedding guest by choosing a rent the runway helmut lang dress.
ReplyDeletePair it with these rad little booties in black, throw this simple elegant faux leather jacket on top. Complete the look with this antler bling and you've got yourself a killer September CO wedding look. No elk were harmed in the making of this outfit.
This color block dress
ReplyDeleteThese Wedge ankle boots
and black tights.
maybe this necklace to finish it off
oops, let me try that again:
DeleteThis dress
Shoes
Necklace
I've never been to Colorado, but we were in rural Wyoming this past weekend checking out our new (tiny!) town. We're moving from Detroit out west in less than 3 weeks. And yes, we saw many Elk, deer, eagles, etc.
ReplyDeleteDiane von Furstenberg Maja Two Dress, ideally in peach
Miista Ori Cutout Booties
House of Harlow 1960 Star Stud Earrings
Can add a turquoise spike necklace too, but that's just me being selfish because I want one. Ask for the chain to be long.
DeleteYou def need to start the outfit with these socks. Then add booties, silk maxi, suede jacket, and quill earrings.
ReplyDeleteI would do it up like Pocahontas...
ReplyDeleteall saints lazuli dress
arrowhead cuff
basic trench for the rain
sturdy ankle boots
If it's cool enough, you can add a pair of tights. If it's dry and/or unexpectedly warm, you can exchange the boots for a pair of brogues or wedges.
It's like a ghillie suit!
DeleteSomeone here knows what a ghillie suit is, I'm impressed.
DeleteIf I were going to this wedding (and money were no object), I'd wear this dress with these boots and this jacket.
ReplyDeleteI'd wear a forest green skirt like this one from Madewell, to get into the wilderness mood. Add a white button-up, tucked in like a pioneer, and you've got the mountain town part covered (am I the only one who think pioneers had great style?). To get in on the elk action, brown suede shoes and an elk cuff. Finally, just to round things out, smell like fir trees.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am basing my understanding of Colorado in September on this image.
ReplyDeleteI would go with this Rebeca Taylor Colorado Sky dress for $425.
Plus these Rachel Comey Tie-Dyed Canvas and Leather-Trim Slingback Sandals
This Rebecca Minkoff blazer in burnt orange.
Fill this flask with bourbon to keep warm. (!)
tegan dress in denim with the peace treaty earrings, an awesome cognac colored leather jacket, this gold house of harlow ring, clare vivier clucth, and some cute, easy to walk in booties from twelfth street by cynthia vincent. BAM!
ReplyDeleteok, another option. this is more fun than working.
ReplyDeleteloe this helmut lang skirt
something like this for the top
Shoes
Accessories
loe = love
ReplyDeleteI've been accused of having both terrible and great taste, but no harm in learning how to put up fancy links!
ReplyDeleteThis skirt and top
with something like this ridiculous jacket! and simple sandals
...and of course, rings:
something awesome like this or this (don't punch anyone), or of course an awesome two-finger ring with antler in it =D
well, I'm amused that JB and I picked the same skirt within a few minutes of each other
Deleteheh, it's a great skirt!
Deletegreat minds and all that..
Dress
ReplyDeleteShoes
Blazer
Necklace
Done.
Definitely a long flowy dress with an interesting, but subdued print:
ReplyDeleteDepending on your shape (read: bustiness), you could try this
Stained glass maxi dress or maybe this Block print maxi dress
Pair with a cozy sweater and jacket if need be, and a
simple necklace.
If it's cold and wet, pull on these boots with a pair of these socks.
If it's warm and dry, go for something like these.
This girly mauve dress. A warm leather jacket. Sensible shoes. Over the knee wool socks. A chunky scarf. An antler necklace.
ReplyDeleteThis navy Equipment dress.
ReplyDeleteAdd Zara's wooden wedge.
Plus Fort's crystal necklace, this 1960's vintage clutch, and House of Dagmar's yellow blazer (if it's cold enough, that is).
And, to top is off, Moon Raven's antler ring.
Burning Torch ikat dress
ReplyDeleteBelted with this Paul and Joe belt
bronze elk antler necklace
with this brass arrow necklace
Elizabeth and James booties in cognac
This ivory Pringle cardigan for nighttime chills

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a blazer and a dress with sandals and a necklace.
ReplyDeleteOr just go All the Way.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteA little on the nose, but I love this.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with something like these for ease of mobility in the mountains?
And this blazer.
Also, this necklace.
Not at all budget friendly, but awesome anyway.
We are shopping for a SEPTEMBER wedding? All these dresses are floral and pink.
ReplyDeleteHere's my pick: This dress with these booties, this antler necklace and this clutch. If you need a jacket, I like this one.
ReplyDeletep.s. I put the whole look together here.
this dress complete with belt
ReplyDeletepuffer
sexy, sturdy booties
and the fantastic necklace kate posted above
Alright. I would post ten outfits if I could (although I had 3 killer ones lined up).
ReplyDeleteBright pop of color dress
Awesome jacket
The kind of belt I always like
Kick-ass shoes
ONE by Kuks Yellow Islet Dress
ReplyDeleteVintage Brown Campus Boots
Vintage Turquoise Ring
Airy Wrap
Arrow Cuff
This dress in forest green.
ReplyDeleteThese booties with dark tights.
And, for the crowing glory: This sweet-ass cardigan. Just take a moment and picture the elements. I want to be invited to a fall Colorado wedding just so I can buy this outfit!
This V&R dress
ReplyDeleteCinched with this belt
A simple clutch
Fabulous Digby & Iona "14-Point Buck" Ring
The best shearling boots ever from No. 6
Hair in a bun and a pair of dainty studs
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to this wedding! I'd wear this floral dress, with this belt in gold. Add sandals, onyx pendant, and elk leather wrap bracelet. When it cools off, throw on your favorite denim jacket with this scarf in true love red.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell... I'll give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteThis dress
These tights
These booties
These earrings
And if it's chilly this jacket to top it off
The colors are a little dark, but I'd wear it!
the i might get mauled by a bear (or hit on by an elk) but i will look damn good doing it outfit:
ReplyDeletethis dress, in black, with open back in case it's warmer
these shoes, with wedges for easy walking, and rose gold for interest
and, the ultimate topper
if on the chillier side, add sheer black stockings.
Diane von Furstenberg
ReplyDeleteBooties with tights
Sweater
Earings
Won't lose this clutch in the woods, even if you have to run from an Elk
And an antler ring
As a native Coloradan, some thoughts:
ReplyDelete-It will likely be a casual affair, sunny during the day with a chance of an afternoon thunderstorm, and a bit chilly at night.
Considering the above, I recommend:
-This lovely, bright dress will fit the season and reflect CO's sunny ways;
-Add this scarf
-These outdoors-friendly shoes
- This jacket for when it gets chilly (suede gives just a bit of Western touch), or this one (on sale)
-and this amazing ring !
I second the casual. Coloradans dress up, but it's still casual compared to most everyone else out there.
DeleteDecide if you want to rock it as the awesome city gal from out of town or if you'd rather blend in a bit.
Phillip Lim Jumpsuit
ReplyDeleteWoven Leather Jacket
Jeffrey Campbell!
Well, Obviously
You'd probably have to come to Portland to get half of this stuff, sorry!
ReplyDeleteParker Maxi Skirt
Vince silk tank
S+C wool scarf
Hazel Cox indigo earrings
Pendleton Clutch
vintage Bass chukkas
dipped antler necklace
DVF Dress
ReplyDeleteLeather Jacket
Loeffler Randal Shoes
Antler Ring
Budget? Size? Body type?
ReplyDelete$300 total; size 2-4; 5'7", generous chest; prefer flats/wedges for rough terrain!
DeleteFirst of all, best place to be a guest. Ever.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, attire:
We're going to go with a good base for your dress so you can layer it up or down.
Next, a basket weave vest for some style out there in CO.
Sounds like it'll be warm but just in case, bring this cardigan for the night air.
For a necklace and bracelet
And to top (bottom) it off, boots. I think you at least have to have them in Colorado.
But bring these or these in case for sure.
this dress for some sparkle and falltime colors.
ReplyDeletethese booties because they are amazing.
this jacket
and these earrings because they are subtle, but badass.
those boots ARE amazing!
Deleterevision: forget the earrings and go with this bracelet instead. bonus, it's $6.59.
Delete@beeprint i prefer the earrings, so i will pretend you never posted that bracelet.
DeleteAll together in one set...
ReplyDeleteAnd for my second attempt!
ReplyDeleteShabd dress in tangerine
Another leather jacket, brown this time
Beautiful boots
I'm kind of stumped on the elk part, but you could always give an elk themed present. There are several elk horn cribbage boards on etsy. Which are kind of weird. But also kind of amazing?
sage silk dress
ReplyDeletechocolate/mint wedges
leather jacket made from elk hide
rough turquoise studs
Keeping in mind I can't afford any of this, and I've never been to Colorado, this is what I'd wear!
ReplyDeleteZero + Maria Cornejo dress (the color is Chalk - too close to white? don't want to offend anyone)
or sub for this one: Burberry dress
with this jacket: Club Monaco jacket
and this belt: Elegantly Waisted belt
and omg these shoes, which I love and are sold out (not helpful, i know): Coclico Carroll black boots
so I would alternate for these boots: Elizabeth and James boot
and I love this clutch, which doesn't seem to be available either: Nada Sawaya clutch
And some awesome gold jewelry, which I can't even begin to share links to, because they'd never stop. (That is what Pinterest is for.)

Why does it seem like everyone is dressing the guest for a chalet? If she might see elk, I'm thinking more "Rural comfort chic" a la
ReplyDeleteThe ever versatile shirtdress
Some footwear that won't get their heels stuck in the mud
A slightly cowgirl belt with the elk theme
And to continue the cowgirl-esque accessories - A turquoise cuff or ring
A jacket it gets cold
And this bright scarf to make sure you don't fade into the background
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure long evening dresses are appropriate when in the same setting as ungulates.
"Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure long evening dresses are appropriate when in the same setting as ungulates."
DeleteI love that. No, no they aren't. I was thinking more like cotton maxi + sweater + necklace :)
It seems to me like a lot of people are dressing the guest oddly for a setting with wandering ungulates!
ReplyDeleteKeeping that in mind, I'm thinking the ever versatile shirtdress
with super cute (but non-sinking) booties
a touch of the elk theme with this belt
some cowgirl chic with a turquoise cuff or ring
And if it gets cold, a jacket
with a bright scarf so you don't fade into the background.
Dude, it gets COLD at night in Colorado. And you gotta do somewhat reasonable shoes.
ReplyDeleteHow about this cute dress with this cozy jacket.
Bring these tights to put on when the temperature drops. If you are a "serious" shoe person, perhaps these? If you are more practical, these are great.
Definitely play up the whole western thing with turquoise earrings and some super earthy bracelets.
testing something
ReplyDeleteAmerican Gold dress. Modern, yet slightly Little Hacienda on the Prairie for a frontier wedding.
ReplyDeleteDistressed leather booties. Rough/refined.
Fuck a elk, we're going porcupine! Porcupine necklace
Porcupine cage bracelet
Grapefruit leather clutch. For color.
And I don't care what people say, if I'm going up a mountain in the Fall I'm wearing a coat. Are you a millionaire? Have a
Missoni cape. Note: those are Missoni chevrons, not faux-Aztec bullshit. If not a millionaire, here's a plain cape.

P.S. I think the light lavender version of the dress would be pretty great as a casual wedding dress (shown with this fun necklace)
DeleteI'm not in the running because I won't be pulling together an outfit but here's my two cents:
ReplyDeleteDon't buy your outfit yet or at least figure out a couple options. We're having an incredibly hot year and right now there's no telling what September is going to look like. You might be roasting in boots or the weather might have burned itself out and we'll have an early winter to make up for not having one this year (wishful thinking but oh well.)
Second note, you definitely want to bring a jacket but even though the ceremony will be outside, it is unlikely the reception will be as well. At the least it will tented with heaters. Still, definitely bring warm layers but you're not camping.
Good luck and have fun! It's BEAUTIFUL that time of year!
(Oh, my creds. Born, raised and currently living in Colorado. I'll bet the wedding's in Estes Park.)

ReplyDeleteWell I like the batik print on this green and yellow dress
Paired with a more rustic shoe or boot, like these?
And you could even wear tights if it got chilly in the mountains, although it sounds like itll be plenty warm in September.
I can't stop shopbopping.

DeleteI also love this brightly striped Alice + Olivia dress for a bit more boho look.
ReplyDeletePaired with this Elizabeth & James cardigan when it gets chilly in the evening,
And these Rag & Bone sandals, for comfort!
As the Original Asker of the Question, I must try (even though I truly needed help - never been to CO, or seen a mountain, and generally an indoor girl)
ReplyDeletethis dress
this jacket unless it's too white? it is a wedding after all.
these booties I was told flats/wedges/something easy on rough mountain terrain... ?
this belt but cheaper. or maybe this one for a pop of color
and grey/off-black tights if it's cold.
oh! and this bag
all these comments have me even more excited to attend this event!
Is the wedding in Estes Park?
DeleteYes, I believe so. I know we're going a day early to hike! and see nature!
DeleteYou're going to have a fantastic time - I grew up near there and it's freakin beautiful that time of year. That being said, if you show up wearing wildlife-themed stuff people will think you are making fun of them. Bring some flat boots to hang out & sight see in, but don't wear them to the ceremony. Also, the most popular wedding venue in Estes is the Stanley Hotel, which is actually a really fancy place, so just keep that in mind when you're picking stuff out. Oh and remember that the altitude may affect you for a day or so (dizziness, dehydration, short of breath) and that you get drunk faster at altitude. Have a great time & I hope you enjoy our beautiful state!
DeleteThanks for the great tips!

Holy shitballz. I just looked at 2322 (no joke) images of dresses and have lost my mind. Is shopping always this hard on your side? I managed to find 6 dresses, 0.25% success rate.
ReplyDeleteThis screams Colorado. It has mountains printed on it!
Colorado in September could be very cool. While everything else will, at least your legs won't freeze completely.
September is still half summer yet half fall so let's add some COLOR! to this shindig.
But on the other hand maybe some color but something that doesn't scream color. plus the holes are interesting while being reserved as a whole.
This is another that says Colorado and it has pockets and sleeves!
Colorado has mountains. Are they alive with The Sound of Music?
Because there is no chance in hell you all will think these are decent, I'm not going to bother finding other stuff to go with them.
