this is the plan for tonight (and I'm kind of worried this is a bit flashy for his first firm event, so I could chicken out and go with something a bit more business friendly, like a pencil skirt and cardi.... we'll see)
dress- anthro bustling avenues dress
belt- f21 sold out online
shoes- calvin Klein oldies
necklaces- vintage
clutch- really a vintage louis vuitton epi wallet
Here's what I'm wearing for mini golf, gorging myself and shopping:
the dress is billabong (I know, what am I 12.5 years old??) via lulus sold out now
cardi- jcrew on sale
shoes- target, old
bracelet- jcrew on sale now
necklace- anthro older
bag- gucci
I've been craving some simple (ok sort of simple, lets just say simple for my obnoxious taste) tops for spring/summer and J.crew just started 20% of women's knits and tees, which of course sent me to their website to have a looksie. Here are my picks (note, they aren't all knits and tees but they are all on sale, what can I say, I got a little carried away):
perfect fit swirling petals tank- its a neutral, but its got a little bit of pizzaz which I like.
sunray sequin tee- in any of the colors really, but I think I'll be buying white and navy.
silk twyla tank- in the yellow AND the pink please
tissue ruffle tank- the color below is my fav, but there are lots of other nice options available.
vintage canvas bow tank- Love this one, it reminds me a lot of a juicy couture top that may or may not be available anywhere anymore
floral cabana beach dress- I know, not even a top, but so cute and on sale

You look precious in both outfits, I especially love your day look, so fresh and springy! Have fun at the dinner tonight!
ReplyDeleteI love both your outfits! Your day look is just perfect - love the orange w/the aqua.
ReplyDeleteAs for the dinner outfit, I do love it, but since it's with attorneys, maybe err on the side of caution and go more business friendly - I like the idea of a pencil skirt and blouse :-)
Is that J.Crew bow tank on sale cuz I love it!
I love both your outfits! Very chic!!!

Love both your outfits. I agree with you, though, the Bustling Ave. dress might be a bit much with attorneys. I've been to a few lawyer functions (I'm not one, I work for one) and you will really stand out against a see of black. I think you'd definitely steal the show if you went looking gorgeous like that. Your initial hesitation is correct, it's about the boy. I hope this doesn't come off wrong and I apologize if it does.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, you'd probably steal the show anyway, just because of how beautiful you are.
sea, not see! I know the difference.
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning, both day and night! I just wish I had your beautiful skin tone. Everything looks good with a nice tan ;) And your shoes are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love both of your outfits, but the night look would probably be too much. It's good that you have a back-up plan, and I bet you'd look amazing in a simple pencil skirt and blouse too! And that dress is Billabong?! Who knew?!
ReplyDeleteI love the orange with your skin tone and hair! Love how you paired the Billabong with J Crew!! Umm, and even though earlier you said you don't do anything for your legs, they are in amazing shape!!
ReplyDeleteLove the J.crew cardi! I've been wanting it forever, just haven't been able to spend the $90 on it, haha. and I am totally loving orange for the summer!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog Natalie! And especially that avenue dress:) I can't believe I've been missing out on your blog all this time! I just discovered it through Kim's. I'm new to this blogging world so be sure to check out my site at http://highfashion4less.com/

loving that outfit! the orange dress is so unique :) is that "lilacism" on your toes?
ReplyDeletethanks everyone! and i did go more muted for the dinner- patterned pencil skirt and a cardi.
ReplyDeletekim- it is indeed on sale, I ordered it myself yesterday, can't wait to wear it!
sarah- I totally understand why you wouldn't spend that on it, the cardi is totally not worth $90- I picked it up when they had 30% off sweaters and would def. not own it if it hadn't been for the promo, I do love it though!
Sara- thanks for reading and I'll be sure to check out your blog :)
Veronika- thanks! its actually essie mint candy apple on my toes :)
