Dressed To The Nines Pt. 2 OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to Part Two of my Dressed To The Nines OOTDs from my cousin’s wedding weekend! Johnny and I had the most amazing time celebrating with my family and we so loved getting dressed up for such a special occasion. After my cousin’s wedding ceremony, we made a quick pit stop at the Hotel Indigo to rest and change into our reception outfits. I was very inspired by Audrey Hepburn a la Breakfast At Tiffany’s when I styled this look and am obsessed with how it turned out. I have been so excited to show you all because I think this is one of my best OOTDs yet! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Dress: Lark + Grey, Ross

Gloves: These belonged to Johnny’s grandma!

Platforms: Mark Fisher, TJMaxx

I think the earrings are from Target!

As you recall from my OOTD post for the wedding ceremony, the dress code for the festivities was Creative Formal. This twelve dollar Lark + Grey dress from Ross fit under that category perfectly! While I feel terrible about cheating on my beloved TJMaxx, I just couldn’t help myself because this dress is everything. It is flirty, frilly, and oh so much fun. That fitted tank going into a cascading skirt of polka dot ruffles is so gorgeous and it moved like a dream. I couldn’t get over how it swirled and twirled when I hit the dance floor and it was received wonderfully by all of the wedding guests. I felt like a star!

All that was left to do with this dress was go straight to shoes and accessories. When I tried my dress on, I already knew exactly how I wanted to style it and did just that. I went for my Barbie pink pair of Mark Fisher platforms which played into the girly sweet vibes but also set the stage for the piece de resistance: A beautiful pair of sheer pink vintage gloves that belonged to Johnny’s grandma. I adore the length of these gloves and they added a touch of old Hollywood aesthetic to such a modern dress. Last but not least was a pair of strand of pearls earrings to further solidify the Audrey Hepburn inspiration with her favorite gem. Pearls are my ultimate fave too – Twinning!!

This OOTD was Audrey Hepburn Lil Red’s way and I am still swooning over the end results. What’s that old saying again? Steal from the best and make it your own!

Who is your celebrity style icon? What is your favorite Audrey Hepburn movie? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New Lark + Grey Dress

New Lark + Grey Dress

Howdy! Although I am a TJMaxx girl through and through, I do love popping into Ross from time to time. My family will be attending a wedding in May and I wanted to find a pretty little something to wear to the ceremony or the reception after. I scored big time because I found the perfect dress for the reception and it only costed thirteen bucks! Talk about a steal!! I cannot wait to dance the night away in this adorable ruffly, polka dotted number by Lark + Grey. Check it out:

The racks of dresses at Ross were jam packed and I was very hopeful that I was going to find something that spoke to be amongst all the fabric. For the most part, there was a whole lot of nothing. Then, my eyes locked on my Lark + Grey dress and it was game on. When I am shopping, I tend to know instantly if something is going to work or not and this was an instant winner. In fact, I was SO confident in this dress that I almost didn’t even bother trying it on. Of course I did anyway lol because that would have been breaking my “always try clothes on at the store” golden rule!

This dress was even better than I imagined once it was on. I just love the fitted tank top into that glorious cascade of gauzy, ruffly, polka dotted goodness. I am all about clothing that offers a unique silhouette and the one this dress provided is insane! The movement of this dress is just divine and visions of me cutting it up on the dance floor swirled in my head. Sans falling like what happened at the last wedding I attended! SMH. I plan on pairing my Lark + Grey dress with a darling pair of Barbie pink platforms by Marc Fisher and I cannot wait to show you guys the end result. I hate to toot my own horn, but I know for a fact it is going to be magical!

I feel a little bad about cheating on my beloved TJMaxx with Ross but I know TJs will understand because this dress was just too good to pass up!

Do you prefer Ross, Marshall’s, or TJMaxx? Do you have a special event to attend soon? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
