Is it still considered a faux pas to wear black to a wedding, or is that chic these days?
The wedding in question is a Vietnamese banquet-type deal, in LA (if that matters). This weekend, though I hadn't gotten around to thinking about what I'd wear until yesterday evening. The dress is a lovely halter top dealy. Does it help if I add a pretty colored shawl?
I suppose I could wear the royal blue cheongsam from laura_md and cybersattva's wedding as well, but am looking for something I can avoid having to iron after a flight.
Or internets, tell me what I should wear.

A lovely colored shawl would be very good, or sparkly jewelry. Lipstick, if you stretch to such an extreme.
Basically, look like you plan to have fun, and the black will be elegant and awesome rather than funereal.

Now, if the rains will let up long enough for me to fly out of here, we should be more or less set. Thanks, fashion maven!

Have fun!
