Today, I'm giving myself a pat on the back because after literal months of in-person and online shopping, I finally committed to a wedding guest dress. While this shouldn't have been that tedious of an experience, retailers were simply not bringing it with the styles I needed. Striking a balance between trendy and timeless while matching the vibe of the wedding was a task almost too big to overcome. But alas, I persisted and found a plethora of options at Nordstrom. From a $70 black satin dress to the Manolo Blahnik kitten heels of my dreams, the following items will solve any shopping woes you may be experiencing. Keep scrolling to shop my favorites and take a guess at which dress I decided to wear.
