I will be the first to admit that most blogs I follow when it comes to fashion it's because I can relate in some way, whether it's their style aesthetic, budget finds, or recreating pieces that I own invoking inspiration to remix my own wardrobe. One of these said bloggers is Caitlin from Style Within Reach. I've followed her for years and was lucky enough to meet her while standing in line for a show at NYFW. A few days later she posted this look from Lincoln Center. The ease of this fabric {neoprene is making a huge comeback} and silhouette just screamed, "buy me!" I finally pulled it out to wear during Saturday's evenings show at Kansas City Fashion Week (recap to come soon!)
Drop hem dresses initially scared me. I feared the length would hit at an awkward spot around the bum area. Thankfully, this drop hem was just the right length for my petite frame and I'm looking to invest in a few more dresses of this style for fall.
Shop the Look:
A trip to Kansas City isn't complete without a stop at the Plaza. While I tend to stay away from shops that I can find in Des Monies and frequent local shops such as Standard Style or see if there are any diamonds in the rough at H&M or American Apparel, I found myself wandering into J.Crew. I thank the shopping Gods that pushed me into the store because it was 40% off all sale items. The lovely sales associate helping me out was wearing a version of the look above, color me obsessed. What a perfect fall look that translates from the office to the weekend.
I'm still without a computer, so I'm finding ways to blog when I can. Thanks for your patience, as I have a lot of great things in the works! I'm hoping to be back up and running next week. Tonight I'm off to Kansas City for Kansas City Fashion Week and so excited to be reuniting with my KC girls! Being without a laptop the past few weeks, I've noticed how much free time I have when I'm not sitting in front of a computer, it's a blessing and a curse. I was able to clean my entire house on Sunday, and give my full focus to the fall television season premieres - um, #Scandal?!
We took the first half of our engagement photos on Wednesday & have a few sneak peeks up from our photographer, Aly Carroll. I thought I would showcase a few here, as well as a few more over on Grey Likes Weddings next week, along with talking about registering and prepping for engagement photos, as well as for my first bridal shower on October 12th! This month will fly by before I know it! I just want to make sure we find time to pick out a few pumpkins to carve, throw up our Halloween decorations, and watch Hocus Pocus!
