This summer, one of my former co-workers is headed to the wedding of an old friend.  She has dubbed this wedding, “The Revenge Wedding.”  Every woman in the bridal party, including the bride, has been divorced in the past three years.  All of their exes, excluding the bride’s, will be there due to the closeness of the friend group.

So when the text arrived on Saturday that my former co-worker needed the dress to wear to the reception (the ceremony dress was chosen by the bride), I knew which dress she meant.  After all, she hasn’t been skipping carbs since the Save the Date cards went out because she hates bread.

When you want to stand out at an event, I recommend two things: 1) wear color – no neutrals, and 2) hire someone to do your hair and makeup.  So even if the dress flops or you decide to recycle something from the back of your closet, you still look red carpet ready.  Here are some fabulous choices in different price points.
