Not sure if they were aiming for the "untucked" fit but it just ends up looking awkward

With eye-catching beaded designs and swirling sequins form the v-neckline to the hem, this fabulous long beaded designer dress gets a spectacular upgrade with rows and rows of beaded fringe

You could also opt for a darker wash on the denim jacket now that were heading into fall/winter, but this was all I had so I went for it (and I still think the light wash works!) As for the shoes, I traded in my white block heels for these caramel, suede ankle booties which instantly take this look from summer to fall

Women can opt for shorter dresses like cocktail, midi lengths or a flirty pantsuit. The formality of a cocktail wedding falls right in the middle of formal and semi-formal, so while you can switch out a ball gown for something more comfortable, you also shouldnt show up in a sundress
