Can You Wear White to a Wedding? How About Black?

This one is actually quite simple. The bottom line is, everyone's going to be watching what the bride, groom and wedding party are wearing, not you.

But, there are some basic guidelines to help you be a well-dressed guest.

Wearing white - Since wedding dresses have been white (about the mid-19th century) women have avoided wearing white to a wedding. While this rule has since been rejected, female guests should select carefully if opting to wear white, being careful to not select anything that looks "bridal". It's as simple as that!

What about Black? The long standing tradition of ladies not wearing black to a wedding has been overturned, too! Today, even bridesmaids wear it! You usually can't go wrong with a little black dress.

Let us know what YOU think!

Lolita Wine and Martini Glasses

Whimsical and fun, Lolita hand painted glasses are among the top selling gift purchases and collectibles in the world. As always, each glass features a custom recipe and ships securely encased in Lolita's beautiful designer packaging.

And now Willow Tree carries them! They make great girlfriend gifts!

In additon to wine and martini glasses, we have candles, too! Each comes gift boxed in the signature packaging, have a burn time of 30 hours and are hand painted, hand poured, and highly fragranced.

Bare Legs, Opaques or Sheer?

The "older generation" thinks that pantyhose are the difference between dressing like a lady and not. But, in today’s fashion world, wearing flesh-colored hosiery would be like choosing a girdle over Spanx.

Modern-day fashionistas just say no. The divide is definitely generational.

Some older women say they just don’t feel "finished" without them. GenXers, however, have a different take. For them, the finishing touches are in the visible extras. They'd rather focus on envelope clutch bags, Mary Frances evening bags, T-strap spectator pumps, chandelier earrings, chunky jewelry, etc.

So, does wearing pantyhose really matter if you have to squint to see them?
We all know that they look terrible with open-toed shoes....so, honestly, what’s the point? What about fishnets? The answer is YES! Opaques? Absolutely. But pantyhose? What do you think?
