The Chief Blonde goes to her Niece’s Wedding in a LendingLuxury.com Selection
The Chief Blonde is wearing Carmen Marc Valvo Brocade Dress provided by LendingLuxury.com ($565, rental $75), vintage purse and rhinestone earrings, Pashmina Ladies shawl ($19.99), Bebe Gold Platform Heels ($89), Wacoal Ipant Shapewear ($60)
Going to my niece’s wedding was something I had been planning for a long time. The HAIR was inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker, the NAILS were a sparkly pink shellac, the eyelashes are by MAC cosmetics.
The Chief Blonde contrasted against the Model from LendingLuxury.com. Maybe I should have tried to rock the Bare leg look but my legs are so disgustingly incredibly pale! What do you think?
This shot was taken at the reception. I kept hijacking people all night to take my picture. A few glasses of wine made posing quite a bit easier!
It was a beautiful night, I had a great time in this gorgeous Dress from LendingLuxury.com. You can see a full review of the whole rental experience here (Post to be added soon)!
The Pashmina in hot pink (fuschia) with a light pink jacquard pattern pashmina shawl is made with 70% top-quality pashmina wool and 30% luxurious silk. This wonderful crafted wrap, in beautiful hot pink with light pink, is 27″ x 68″ in size with 3″ hot pink tassels on both ends. Visit their website to see the multitude of color schemes to fit any Mother’s style. These shawls/scarves/wraps are worn by women of all ages and add just the right touch to casual, business, or evening attire! Wrap Mom up with love this Mother’s Day or Easter with a Pashmina from PashminaLadies.com

Thanks Sara!
That is one snazzy dress!
Stumbled you back.
You look sweeter than the model. I love your smile. And the dress is very nice. You’ve inspired me to dress up a bit more often. Those of us past a certain age should revel in our wisdom and mature curves.
Stumbled you back.
AHhh aren’t you sweet Jaleta. Though I agree, we DO need to dress up more often! Did you check out the other outfit posts? https://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/http:/stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/giveaways/uncategorized/outfits-modeled-women-over-45/
In the words of Sarah Jessica Parker, you look fabulous! You look amazing in all the pictures, but I think the last one is my favorite – you just look so model-y there and beautiful without even trying!
I stumbled you – thanks for stopping by my blog too! 🙂

I can’t find your post on the list??? I stumbled your article anyway!
I’m #23 this week…late to the game! LOL. But thank you!!!
We love them all!! Especially the one of you putting on the lipstick. The jewerly and the shoes compliment the dress perfectly. She shawl is so rich in color making a perfect, elegant piece.
Thanks LendingLuxury. This giveaway is one of my favorites so far!
The Chief Blonde!
What a cool looking dress. Love you mirror poses the best. Very artistic.
I don’t fit your over 45 category yet, but pretty close at 37. 🙂
Thanks Daphne! Appreciate your comments!
You looked very good in all the pictures. I love the wrap. I have one and have given them as gifts too. I thought the pose,freshening your lipstick was a really nice pose. Glad the busy day went well.
Sue
Well, we missed you Sue (and Wes!)
I love the dress and shoes! You look so beautiful
in them!
THanks so much Tina. The shoes are actually very comfortable too!
I like the first one the best, your smile reflecting back in the mirror is great. Your clothes were to die for, an awesome outfit and a very pretty hairdo. You look like a model.
Thanks Lauralee–I really like how the hair turned out too! It was perfect for the dress… A model, HAHAHAHA! Maybe Plus size teehee!
You are gorgeous and what a stunning ensemble! Hope you enjoyed accenting your dress with the beautiful Pashmina. We love the pictures – thanks for the “shout out”! http://www.pashminaladies.com
Hey Julie,
THanks for your encouraging remarks! If Pashmina Ladies would be interested in a giveaway, email me at stillblondeafteralltheseyears@gmail.com and I can send you all the details!
The Chief Blonde
hi blonde, thanks for stumbling me, i’ve stumbled you right back!
i love the hair and the dress and the shoes. i’ve mixed feelings about the stockings. i’m not a fan of stockings and have boycotted them for years.
i have one more year until i’m 45 and thanks to hair loss i wear a blonde wig. does that count?
Yes Pam, it sure does. Actually being Blonde to me is a state of mind and Heart, not an outward appearance thing. So you fit right in, blonde wig and all. If you desire to be a Blonde–you are!
The Chief Blonde!
I like the one with you standing beside the tairway the best. Your “Model” pose.
THanks! The stairway is in our house, we had to move a bunch of stuff for this picture. Looks so natural right…HA!
