Ann Taylor Ikat Dress

Hello all - the weather is starting to cool down a lot here in KC, but some days I've still been getting away with open-toed shoes and skipping the coat. :)  Here's to those last few days of Indian Summer!

(Slim) Shady

Shades make this outfit infinitely cooler, right?  Speaking of shades & shady.  I do love Slim Shady. And I also love this combo of navy and cobalt + pop of bright pink.  I love a little bling when it adds just the right amount of glam to a look.  I love when the weather cools enough for a classic blazer.

Happy Wednesday! :)

Hot Pink Wedding

My beautiful friend, Karyl, recently got married! Dressed in a hot pink floor-length gown, I was thrilled to help one of my dearest friends down the aisle.

Our wedding party could not be missed in this fun, pink dress. Bonus:  the gown had pockets--perfect for a cell phone and some lipstick for touchups. The wedding was beautiful and warm wishes go out to the newlyweds - congratulations Karyl & Rick!

Dress:  Alfred Angelo

*Post wedding plans:  Pretty in pink... can I wear this dress again? I'm visiting my local dress shop to see if I can shorten this into a knee-length, cocktail number. Additionally, the pink is quite striking so, I may tone it down by dying it black. More to come in the future as I try to finagle another wear out of this one!

*Update:  Check out Jane's reworked bridesmaid's dress here.
