Lady in Red

Black tie optional attire … that’s exactly how I feel when I get a wedding/event invitation with this dress code. I first go blank, then a slide show of my dresses pops in my head, then I figure out what time of day, location and season the wedding/event is at and then I decide what to wear.

Black tie optional attire for girls can go from elegant short, knee-high or long dresses. The material, accessories, shape of the dress, color and so much more come into play when deciding what’s appropriate.

This time I picked my BCBG Snejana one-shoulder evening gown. I’ve been saving it for a while! My Jimmy Choo Lance sandals were an obvious choice. They’re awesome, comfortable, I can actually dance all night long with my Choos and I’m fine. As far as accessories: Michael Kors watch, Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, Forever21 earrings (recent), vintage clutch and Max Azria heels.

Work Pastels

I LOVE my friend’s Charlotte’s style. She’s always very classy and has a great sense of style. Charlotte looked gorgeous while sporting these super cute pink pastel pieces and jewelry from JCrew. I like that you can wear pastels throughout the year, such a great color. Every girl should have pink pastel pieces in her closet. I’m obsessed with JCrew Minnie pants, we both have them in four colors. They’re so practical; you can wear them to work and to go out with a nice blazer. They look good on all body types, there are a few of us that have these amazing pants in my office and they look great on everyone. I even wear them in the winter. I totally replaced my long wide pants with the Minnie. She finished up her outfit with Diane von Furstenberg sunglasses.

Ich liebe meine Freundin Charlotte Stil. Sie ist immer sehr edel und hat einen tollen Sinn für Stil. Charlotte sah wunderschön mit diese Rosa Kleidung und Schmuck aus JCrew an. Ich mag, dass man Rosa das ganze Jahr anziehen kann, tolle Farbe. Jedes Mädchen sollte rosa Kleidung in ihrem Kleiderschrank haben. Mir gefallt diese JCrew Minnie Hosen, wir beide haben diese Hosen in vier Farben. Sie sind so praktisch, man kann sie tragen, um zu arbeiten und mit einem schönen Blazer. Sie sehen gut aus auf alle Figur, es gibt ein paar von uns, die diese erstaunlichen Hosen in meinem Büro haben und sie sehen gut auf jeden an. Ich kann diese Minnie Hose im Winter anziehen. Sie beendete ihr Outfit mit Diane von Furstenberg Sonnenbrille.

AMO el estilo de mi amiga Charlotte. Ella es siempre muy elegante y tiene un gran sentido del estilo. Charlotte se veía preciosa mientras llevaba este super lindo color rosa pastel, piezas y joyas de JCrew. Me gusta puedes usar colores pasteles durante todo el año, es un gran color. Todas las chicas deben tener ropa de color rosa pastel en su armario. Estoy obsesionada con los pantalones Minnie de JCrew, alas dos lo tenemos en cuatro colores. Son tan prácticos, puedes usarlos para el trabajo y salir con una chaqueta bonita. Se ven bien en todos los tipos de cuerpo, hay algunas de nosotras que tenemos estos pantalones increíbles en mi oficina y se ven muy bien en todo el mundo. Incluso los uso en el invierno. He reemplazado totalmente mis pantalones anchos largos con los Minnie. Ella completó su atuendo con gafas Diane Von Furstenberg.

Bandage

This year, I’ve seen more bandage dresses than I have seen in a while. I really like them. Bandage dresses are cute, fit well and you can wear them to a night out in the town with the girls, formal events such as weddings and cocktail parties, and so much more.

Its simplicity makes them easy to use while resting assure you made the right choice. Since I wore this Guess by Marciano dress (similar here and here) to a wedding ceremony outside, it worked great to dance the night away. I paired it with a JCrew crystal circle necklace, simple silver stud earrings. The necklace has a gold chain so I added my favorite Michael Kors watch, Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, vintage clutch and Max Azria heels.

Indian Attire

Another amazing Indian/American wedding! Congratulations to Gaurav and Emily! Another wedding and another great opportunity to showcase the lovely Indian attires the bride and groom and two of my favorite couples wore. Emily wore a pretty Lehenga and Gaurav wore a Sherwani.

Beth wore a supercute Salwar. Beth has a great sense of style and she totally rocked the Salwar. The bright bag, wonderful accessories and of course the silver Isabel Jimmy Choo made the ensemble perfect! Sheel wore a Kurta.

The lovely Tracy wore a bright red and gold Sari, gold and red tone accessories. It’s not her first rodeo! If you want to check out what she wore on her wedding day, click here. Matt wore a Sherwani. For more ideas on Indian attires, check out my previous post.
