ISO: Studio 54 style for an Indiana wedding


Hi ESB and readers,

 I need help.

 I'm going to a wedding this fall in my Indiana hometown. I have been living out of the country for years, and am really excited to see old friends in person. I just don't know what to wear.

 You guys are so talented. Could you please help me find something? I love the Studio 54 style and am also a fan of Saint Laurent Paris. Typically I like leather and sequins, but I don't want to be too flashy.

 I'm also 5'2'', blonde, thin and flat. There is no price range.

 Thank you so much!!!

*****

No boobs + NO BUDGET??

You're punking me, aren't you.

    I don't normally chime in on fashion posts, because I'm hideously unqualified, but I have a soft spot for lamé. DO IT.

      I feel like you guys aren't properly embracing the NO BUDGET

      What about this jumpsuit? It's sold out there and at Net-a-Porter but I found it here in a couple sizes.

    maybe it's just me, but this is totally calling for a jumpsuit:

    long-sleeved le smoking
    sheer vneck panel
    liquid lamé
    crossover back

    also, a couple dresses, if you're into that:

    peekaboo
    tuxedo

    all via NAP for ease:

    D&G black/gold insanity

    architectural pucci, wear with insane shoes

    saint laurent - understated enough for indiana, leather enough for you?

    the row's leather frock. which i want now.

    I think this calls for Balmain:

    Balmain #1
    Balmain #2
    Balmain #3

    @Tonia @Melanie I was thinking 5'2" is too short for a jumpsuit but then I remembered PRINCE

      Jumpsuits actually make petite women look really tall/long-legged! And yeah, PRINCE.

    I like the jumpsuits because I feel like they could work for just about any wedding (edgy and elegant without being too over-the-top). The poster never said what type of wedding this was - it's Indiana, so anything from an art gallery reception to a rustic country barn is possible. I'd feel a little silly if I showed up to a rustic wedding in a gold lame gown or leather dress, myself ...
