I am patiently waiting for the perfect evening where I can slip on the perfect dress and hit the ground running, no no...Sprinting. Also patiently waiting for some warm summer weather, we get the occasional spring time warm nights here in NorCal but come on, a few more...please?
I put together a few looks (within the budget) I am hoping to introduce into my beautiful life and some sweet events I have planned for the near future!
-meeting the family
This could be a very crucial outfit that I must admit I have been planning...scary. The key is to keep it classy but cute in this particular case. I mean you could potentially be meeting your future family. You do not want to look like you spent hours on getting ready but at the same time...like you spent hours getting ready.
I like this dress for the occasion for a number of reasons-you cant go wrong with black-the embroidery adds a hint of cute- the cap sleeves offer an elegance- and the cinched waist in this case is a must. go against my tendency to choose only flow dresses!
-Sunset Cruise
I found out about this amazing little sunset cruise while I was out exploring my new county (marin) and I stumbled upon a little town called Tiburon. SO cute. I just happened to be wearing a decent outfit for the occasion too! Anyways, this sunset cruise starts around 6 and goes to about 8 you bring wine, snacks, whatever you want take a boat out on the bay and watch the sunset-how many of my favorite things can we get in one place!? aka-perfect date.
I am obsessed with the colors in the sunset-so I chose this strapless, hippy chic number. I love that the belt throws in the relaxed feel and the white crochet keeps it feeling light. Pair it with some brown sandles (that will end up on the boat floor) and you have yourself a pretty little date dress!
-Date Night at the Academy of Science
The Academy of Science is something that I LOVE to go to. On Thursday night they have an amazing 21 and over event from 6-10 where they serve drinks and it is just fun. The Academy itself is just amazing and fun! I need the perfect dress for this, and of course dinner before...at a beautiful restaurant I am sure. This is the kind of event that is still super casual-and I could wear jeans-but everyone appreciates a lady in a pretty dress.
I am thinking I would pair this with a cute pair of flats and an over the shoulder bag to keep it cas. I like the blocked out green yellow and teal on a almost hemp colored fabric. Its classy enough for dinner at a nice place but still chill enough for the science museum!
-Sundays in the GG Park The sun is out, your favorite people are surrounding you (well most) and you are in a perfect state of mind. what do you wear.........
This dress is perfect for the park-throw a frisbee eat some berries and cheese and lay out on a blanket with your hubby. Show some skin and live in a dream world for a day! Also good for a concert in the park, walking around the rose garden, or whatever the day may bring you!
-Summer Wedding
this is huge, you get invited to a wedding by your new beau for one of his best friends...people you have never met... and need to make a GREAT impression. Almost as big as meeting the parents. yikes.
Rule number 1-do not wear WHITE.
Rule number 2-catch the bouquet.
Rule number 3- just smile, and do not drink too much champagne.
How do I love thee...let me count the ways. It looks like one of your paintings, it has straps, it has the perfect bust, and makes you look like a cupcake (in a good way!!) pair it with a wedge sandel or flats, a clutch and your ready to rock the dance floor with your man and enjoy a beautiful ceremony!
