Every Wedding Attendee Should Be Aware of This Stylish Collection

      Between my husband and me, the number of wedding save-the-dates on our refrigerator is quite concerning. Although I'm genuinely happy for the friends and family who are getting married, managing all the details has been overwhelming for my brain. I handle the administrative tasks in our relationship, which means I'm the one who figures out flights (are points an option?), chooses between hotels or shared accommodations, decides how much time to take off from work, and takes care of all the little logistics. Amidst the chaos, I've discovered a calming resource in The Occasion by Old Navy. This collection has completely taken care of my wardrobe needs. It's a convenient place for easy-to-wear, versatile dresses for every wedding occasion, from rehearsal dinners to receptions.

      Even better, digital creator and frequent wedding attendee JaLisa E. Jefferson tried on some of my favorite styles from the collection and shared her thoughts on each—from how they fit to how she would style them. It felt like receiving a personal styling session without putting in the work myself. And fortunate for you, I'm sharing all the looks right here.

      "What really impressed me was the versatility of these dresses. The silhouettes appear refined and structured, yet they're pieces I could wear in different ways," Jefferson states. "I loved the soft stretch of this brown off-the-shoulder dress." Since brown is trending right now, I was immediately drawn to it. "I kept it classic with my favorite chunky heels and oversized sunglasses for a relaxed summer wedding vibe. I enjoy experimenting with shape and texture to elevate an outfit without overdoing it, so I added the mini bag to tie everything together." As she pointed out, these dresses are flexible. "I can picture myself dressing it down with sneakers and a denim jacket for a daytime date, or pairing it with strappy heels for a night out," she explains. The options are limitless, and there's nothing better than being able to wear something again and again.

      The Occasion by Old Navy One-Shoulder Midi Dress

      I'm currently leaning more towards minidresses, so I was thrilled to see this piece on Jefferson. "The playful silhouette of the black mini is everything," she shares. "I wanted this one to feel fun and slightly flirty, so I paired it with printed heels and a micro bag. It's radiating cocktail-hour vibes." I love how the color is so easy to style—you can keep it simple with black pumps and diamonds or jazz it up with a structured bag and statement heels. I will definitely wear this to my next welcome dinner.

      "This dress felt the most formal, so I embraced that with simple heels and a statement clutch to let the dress shine," Jefferson tells me. Black tie events are always glamorous, but it can be challenging to find something comfortable enough to wear all night. "When I'm at a wedding, I want the freedom to sit, dance, eat… all the activities. And I want to feel great doing it! So comfort is a must. This dress delivers on that," she explains. With that, I was convinced.
