Tiffany writes, "I have to apologize in advance for sending such a last minute request but I realllllly hope you can help me out. I'm going to a friend's wedding this Saturday evening and bought this dress to wear. It's an outdoor wedding and while it's in the south where it's still warm during the day, it's getting chilly* in the evenings so I'm afraid I might freeze. Can you pretty pretty please help me find something to wear with my dress to keep me warm? I feel like a cardigan is too casual and a blazer is too business-y but I'm not quite sure what else would work. A good scarf, maybe? I'm so lost! I'm a size 2-4 or XS-S and my budget is around $50. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Ok, Tiffany, we're strictly anti-scarf on this one and pashmina's are a no-no. Why? Not sure. We're in a mood. Also, we somehow missed your budget restriction (sorry!). Here are some all out inspirational pieces. More affordable options included below. Go big, or go home, honey. It's a wedding.

Thank you so much! Your suggestions were a HUGE help. I ended up with a grey cardigan and a sparkly brooch. Perfection!
