What to Wear: Lake Tahoe Wedding

A couple weeks ago, Anne wrote in with a request about an upcoming wedding up at Lake Tahoe. “The wedding is apparently ON the beach and not too fancy but I figure what is a wedding if not an excuse to dress up?” Agreed! Here’s my suggestion: 

Dress – This dress is so pretty online and – when I spotted someone wearing it on the street – even prettier in person…which doesn’t always happen with Anthropologie. Black and red chevron dress for $198.
Belt – Add a nice red belt from DVF.
Sandals – Wedges are a must for the sandy lakefront beaches, and these Nine West sandals are cheap enough on sale that you won’t mind if they get muddy.
Clutch – A simple clutch in turquoise and gold for $80.
Earrings – Garnet and gold drops.
Bracelets – A set of basic gold bangles.
Pashmina – Bring an inexpensive ivory pashmina from Cost Plus as a layer if it gets cold.
Sunglasses – A pair of aviators from Target.
