A dress with fringe is the best kind of dress to dance in! My cousin got married this past weekend on the 4th of July in Newport, RI. Her one request was that all the women wear white to the wedding. At first we all though it was a bit strange, after all you want the bride to stand out! But as I thought about it more I could envision just how lovely it would look.

And once we were all together in our white dresses the view was perfection! Everyone looked extra posh and put together. All of the photos are going to look amazing!

As for how I decided to style this dress... since this dress is definitely a homage to the age of the flapper, I decided to follow that direction as my inspiration! For my hair I did a faux bob of sorts (want me to do a hair tutorial on it?) and my makeup I went for a soft vamp look. Long necklace to breakup the at time unflattering neckline for me and then my comfortable and amazing t-strap pumps I got in Italy! Who knew I could pull off a flapper look! Especially since the ideal for that look is someone with minimum curves and a smaller chestal region. Miracles can happen!

What do you guys think of wearing white to a wedding? How do you like my Flapper look?!!

tights: via Macys

shoes: ShoeMint

snake ring: BCBG MaxAzria

For Jon's work holiday party I decided to jazz it up with some fun sequins and a different style than I normally wear. I got this dress from Piperlime during their additional 50% off sale after Christmas. It is part of the Piperlime collection, actually all the pieces I purchased from that sale were part of the Piperlime collection! 

I loved so many pieces they created, they have pieces that all wardrobes need and plenty of different things to jazz up your wardrobe. I wanted to keep my purchases to pieces that would enhance my wardrobe and add something to it that I didn't already have. 

This piece definitely fit the bill and was the perfect dress for a night of mingling with my fiancé (eeks it still feels so crazy using that word) and his coworkers and dancing the night away. 

 For my actual outfit out I chose a slightly lower pair of heels since I knew there would be some walking and definitely some dancing! 

Stay tuned for my makeup tutorial up this week on how to get this vampy look!
