The perfect wedding attendee pick!

Picking what to wear to a wedding can be a major headache! All kinds of things go into play: What time is the wedding? Where is the wedding? Were there specifications on the invitation? What is everyone else wearing? HEADACHE!! Well, I have picked out a perfect dresses that you are SURE to be safe with! All you have to do is accessorize this pretty pick a little differently to accommodate for the time and place! Your sure to get complements on this fashion statement without looking like that girl who wants to draw attention to herself (because remember, weddings are all about the bride, not you!). But with this piece, you can look pleasantly classy and sassy while still maintaining wedding attendee etiquette!

Any "type" wedding, any "time" wedding
KIND OF DRESS

The Zafira Dress by Trina Turk is a perfect wedding pick! With the lace overlay and belted waist, it presents a perfect and "safe" fit for a casual or more dressy wedding! (not to mention the color being navy, which is this summer's "new black")

How to wear it to a casual wedding:
Outdoor/beach wedding do gold sandals like the ones we have pictured. For an indoor wedding throw on some gold wedges with a higher heel. For both, accessorize with cute gold bangles (throw some coral in there, it looks great with navy). If your not a bracelet girl, do a really fun ring like our clustered pearl one! Throw in a gold clutch (or coral if you can find it) and your safe for any casual wedding thrown your way!

How to wear it to a night wedding:
If your going to a wedding after 6, just put on some saucy gold, nude, or tan heels, add a big ring (bling or costume), large gold earrings, and a gold clutch or chain strapped purse! You can even change out the belt with a cute gold skinny one!

Soak Up That Summer Sun - In Style!

Summer is finally here, so it's time to break out those cute, sassy sundresses that have been hiding at the back of your closet since the beginning of last fall! Or maybe you're running low on warm-weather couture and are planning a start-of-the-season shopping spree to pick up some fresh, flirty pieces that will have you sizzling all summer long? Whatever the case may be, you should definitely check out these tips for finding the perfect summer sundress from McAuley's!



Small Bust - The fitted top and banded waist on this plaid dress will emphasize your chest to make you appear more curvy.
Large Chest - The halter-style neckline and banded waist on this dress will offer support without showing too much skin.
Adds Curves - Ruffles and pleats are a great way to emphasize your body shape, especially if you're skinny or slender.



Adds Height - Printed maxi dresses can create the illusion of height by appearing to elongate the body.
Creates a Waist - Belting a dress at the waist (especially a bubble dress!) is a great way to emphasize your curves.
Slims Hips - Dresses that are banded or belted just below the chest can make you appear both taller and more slender.

Our favorite dresses for Carolina Cup!

Carolina Cup is coming soon... next weekend, in fact. Do you have your dress yet? If not, we've got some great choices for you here at McAuley's, and we can help you with your shoes, bag, and other acessories as well! Here we've chosen a few of our favorites to give you an idea of what our selection is like. Keep in mind that this isn't all we have to offer, and don't forget that we register every girl for each event, so you won't see anyone else in your dress!



You'll look simply smashing in hot pink strapless dress by Molly B. Pair it with some bold, colorful accessories and you’re off to the races! Also pictured is the Willy shoe in gold by Sergio Zelcer.


We know you’ll turn some heads in this short strapless number from our junior line. This dress looks great with chunky beads and high heels for a spring event or with a pair of flip flops and a large canvas tote for a day at the beach.


With clean lines, a classic nautical color scheme, and crisp pique fabric, the Seagull dress by Trina Turk is the perfect look for the sophisticated lady this spring. For a dress like this, we recommend keeping the accessories simple—a pair of elegant chandelier earrings is all you need.


A simple, great fitting shift is appropriate for almost any event. We especially like the Nice Girl dress by Nanette Lepore because it has an adorable bow detail and it’s in one of the hottest colors of the season—yellow!


Too cute! This green and yellow embroidered dress from our junior line is one of our favorites this season. From its narrow embellished straps to its lightweight gathered skirt, this dress is sure to keep you fresh as a daisy.
