    So, I'm going to attend a wedding at a winery the end next month...

    I'm a newer mom with not a lot of time to go out dress shopping.  Anyone have any suggestions for what I should wear?  I probably don't want to spend more than $150, but don't want something from Forever 21 either.  If it helps I wear about an 8 in a dress now, oh and chiffon and I aren't friends. ;)  Thanks!

    Do you have a Loehmans or Marshalls around you? You can always find pretty dresses there for good prices.

    Or did you want to order something online?

    I do have a Marshalls nearby, that I'm hoping to check out.  I'll happily entertain online options, though since it will be a bit easier for me!

    @Lillindy: I love Macy's dresses online. Especially Ralph Lauren's collection. They're always well made and look great in person!

    I got this Ralph Lauren dress at Macy's it ran about $160 (but I LOVE it) and found these fab Nine West shoes on sale for $28.... I'm wearing them both for our rehearsal.

    Hope you've had some luck finding something!

    Not sure which winery you're going to.  I just wanted to mention that some of them don't have heel friendly walkways and areas around the main buildings.

    @Mrs.tobe: Super cute, thanks for the tip!

    @JoJo Bananas: Bargetto. I've actually never been to a winery so that's great to know.

    If you have a Nordstrom Rack nearby, they also carry some good dresses!

    @Lillindy:  Bargetto in Soquel is pretty concrete, so you should be ok with heels.

    @cerulean713: I do, and tried going last week, but had no luck in my size. :/

    @JoJo Bananas: Good to know, thanks!  I was all worried that I would have to find some new shoes, too! lol

    So I've been searching high and low, but so far no luck, it's especially hard to find something since I'm nursing. Marshals dress selection yesterday was disappointing, but I did get 2 new cute pairs of pumps. :)

    @Lillindy: A PP suggested Macy's and they are having a one day sale this weekend (Saturday) so perhaps give them a try?

    Also, Burlington Coat Factory (yes they have dresses) is having a HUGE sale this week for all their dreses. Not sure if you have one nearby.

    Tip, wineries get chilly at night from the moisture/grapes etc so try to find a cute sweater or light jacket to wear (or even a wrap).
