Best Dressed In Jay Godfrey + WW Link Up


Happy Friday everyone!  This weekend is an exciting one because my brother-in-law is getting married!  To make it even better, I'll be attending my first Chinese wedding.  As many of you may know, my husband is Chinese, and although we've been together for fourteen years (four of those married), I have never been to a Chinese wedding.  Crazy, right?  Mike and I kept our wedding untraditional with a simple ceremony, and none of his close relatives have gotten married since we've been together.  Since it is my first Chinese wedding, I was a little stressed out about what to wear, so I turned to my friends, Nikoleta and Vicky, who own Best Dressed Charlestown.  You may remember last year when I posted about Best Dressed here (still obsessed with that dress), and I knew that they would be able to find me the perfect dress.

Best Dressed is a brick and motar store, here in Boston, where you can rent designer dresses for any occasion. I love the idea of renting dresses because I'm tired of wearing the same dress over again to many functions, or spending unnecessary money for a new dress that I'll only wear once.  The best part is since the store is here in Boston, I can actually go in and try on different dresses in order to find one that fits perfectly.  But it doesn't end with dresses.  Best Dressed also carries a great selection of bags and jewelry, that you can either rent or buy, to finish your look.  They carry GiGi New York bags, which you know is a favorite of mine, and every time I walk into the store, I can't leave without buying jewelry, because it is all so pretty!  You can keep your rental up to five days, and the store takes care of the cleaning and any minor repairs.
The second I saw this Jay Godfrey cape dress, I was obsessed.  Not only did I love the color, but the cape sleeves, and the flow of the dress, made it a winner.  I have to be honest that these photos don't do the dress justice.  It was very breezy the day we shot this look, that we couldn't capture the best photos.  I wish you could see it in person.  I finished my looked with black statement earrings, and a GiGi New York clutch, from Best Dressed, then added my fringe heels for a fun touch.  Even though I love this look, I decided it wasn't dressy enough for the wedding, but had to share it anyway.  I'm thinking it will be a perfect option for the rehearsal dinner.  It would also make a great dress for a girls night out, or Boston fashion week event.  Either way, I'll find an excuse to wear it.

Don't worry, I did leave with the perfect dress for the wedding, and can't wait to show you.  Make sure to follow along on Instagram or Snapchat (Rach480) to see what I chose.  Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

    Sounds like a great store-- I love the concept of sites like Rent the Runway but wish they had actual physical stores.

    Also, so thrilled to be the featured blogger of the week!! ♡ :)
