Classic vs Trendy

My friend’s wedding as well as some unfortunate and very old pictures of me on Facebook got me thinking. I love following trends as much as the next girl, but perhaps for important occasions like weddings and matric balls it is best to go for a more classic look. I remember wearing a very trendy outfit to a matric ball and I looked great on the night. Now when I look at the pics I cringe!

What could be more classic than the LBD? The ladies wearing LBDs in the Facebook pictures looked stylish and chic, which is much more than I can say for myself. It certainly does stand the test of time. This is what I wore to another friend’s wedding earlier this year. I think that these won’t make me cringe in years to come.
