Shabby Apple: Cleopatra



A few weeks ago I was invited to a friend's wedding. I was super excited to be a GUEST for once! The day of the wedding I was all set to rock out my Badgley Mischka LBD and then I talked to the bride. Her photographer (friend's stepdad) told her that he'd be an extra $500 to cover the reception and started throwing all of these last minute charges at her. So they ended up opting to only use him for the ceremony and formal pictures. I know I am a bit of a pushover but I also couldn't let my friend have bad pictures from her wedding. So I sadly put away the LBD and pulled out my newest Shabby Apple purchase (thanks to Groupon!) which would be a bit more friendly to the crazy positions I get in during a day AND was a bit more formal than my normal wear for a wedding.

The Cleopatra was the perfect hybrid dress for me. I was able to look guest-like but still able to move around quite easy due to the cotton fabric and length. I highly recommend it for more formal affairs or for those ladies out there wanting to look a bit more elegant at weddings without hampering your shooting style.
