help! is this way too casual for a wedding?

boobaby · Kate Spade

I think a full skirt would make it less casual and maybe some heels.

kmd · Kate Spade

I think it's far too casual for any wedding.

I'd switch up the white cami or tee underneath for something lacey. I'd wear a full skirt, as boobaby suggested, with high heels. Dressier jewelry would be good, as well.

exsupahero · Kate Spade

Oui. I think it's also too casual. Black on black with awesome jewelry can dress up an outfit.

edit: How about something like this? It's casual, but still sleek dressy. I'd do black on black still with a chunky white necklace.

or

but no scarf thingy.

thanks for the suggestions, i thought it was too casual but i haven't been to a wedding before! i don't have a suitable skirt or heels so i guess i will have to go shopping

Even for the most casual of weddings, jeans are just too casual. Anthropologie has a LOT of cute things that would totally be appropriate:
murmur tee

From Banana Republic (and it would be easy to wear again later):

I love the BR dress NCShopper posted! That would be so versatile -- you could dress it up or down.

i guess the photo isn't very clear - they are black trousers not jeans. thanks for the suggestions but unfortunately i don't have access to anthro or BR :( i think i'm going to have a look for a skirt or a dressier top. what do you think of this one? it's a nude/purpleish colour with applique flowers at the neckline in the same fabric as the rest of the top

mz.shanzie · Kenneth Cole

I think that purplish top you just posted would look dressy enough with the black trousers and heels, add some gold jewelry!!

littlebean · Kate Spade

I think that would be an appropriate top for a casual wedding with your black trousers. I second the recommendation of switching to heels, though, and adding some dressy-ish pieces of jewelry.

Keep the top, but wear a skirt and some heels. Add some accessories and your good to go :)

I agree. I don't like the idea of pants for a wedding.
