What to Wear: Baptism, Afternoon Wedding or Confirmation

Baptism Confirmation What to wear

Let me be honest. It's May and I do not have a creative bone in my body! Sometimes you have to go with the real deal. So here you have my basic plan for my son's confirmation last Sunday. If you were there you saw this very outfit (minus the fabulous up-do, I ran out of time!). Hope you like it, I felt pretty and pulled together.

For events like a baptism, afternoon wedding, or confirmation the concept is feminine, chic, but comfortable. I did not want the focus on me but I wanted to look appropriate and stylish. A fitted sheath dress with nude heels and understated accessories fits the bill.

Holiday Office Party


Holiday Office Party
This look was inspired by one of my best friend's party outfits. The outfit was classic with an edgy vibe. You could tone it down by losing some jewelry or swapping the lace for a plain top. The statement necklace makes it. All black everywhere else lays the foundation for the statement pieces (necklace, ring). When you do an edgy party outfit balance the look with natural hair and make-up. Gorgeous darling. 

Some good deals from the look:

White lace shirt
amazon.com, $16.


BCBGMAXAZRIA clutch
bcbg.com, $108., $72.

Playing Dress Up



We would all have a little more fun getting dressed each morning if we thought like Brad Goreski.

I'm channeling him today.

Stacking


A big look for spring and summer is stacked bracelets.  Anything goes with this trend: add a watch, different size bracelets and bangles.  Mixed metals are in as well if you want to be bold.  Try pairing the classics already in your closet with some of the newer types of bracelets- wrapped leather with studs and beads tied with colorful string. You can achieve a lot of impact with minimal effort and expense.






The look (on a budget) for a cause:  Kate Spade is selling these bangles from the 'hand in hand' collection in a collaboration with Woman International .  The bracelets are hand-made in Afghanistan and proceeds go to aid women in war torn countries.  They retail for $28. to $58. at Kate Spade.


'hand in hand' bangle, $58.
