Where:
Rehearsal and Dinner, Fort Wayne, IN
Why:
My dearest friend Lindsay got married this weekend and I was a bridesmaid. This is what I wore to the rehearsal and dinner following. I wasn’t sure of the dress code and in Fort Wayne something “dressy†could be black pants and a blouse. I feel really comfortable in my new “uniform†— the black skirt and bootie combo. So a new pair of tights and sweater worked. I also decided against checking a bag, so I needed things that would pack and travel well.
Where:
office
Why:
My first motivation of the day was the forecast— its going to be really cold in New York later in the week so I knew tights were a must for me today. I also had a itch to wear this grape soda shade of purple. I really like how the blouse and sweater sort of, but also don’t sort of match. They have the same undertones (its a red-based purple) and that’s why I think they work. The long skirt made me feel very Bonnie and Clyde, so I grabbed my favorite booties and a disco beret to boot. I’m loving this look for my first day back in the office this week.
I also love that this whole look is very chic, but was really inexpensive. The blouse and skirt were thrifted, the sweater was bought with a gift certificate (from Betsey herself!!) and the remaining pieces are Target/Payless.
