Seeing Stripes

Hey y'all,

Easter has passed and now that I no longer have to carry a coat around I am eyeing spring and summer clothes! I am even headed out to the outlets today so let's hope my wallet survives between LOFT and J.Crew. I am especially looking for some seersucker to add to my closet. It is the perfect fabric for spring and summer and if in a Carolina blue color it doubles as gameday wear. Here are some seersucker options I have found while window shopping:
J.Crew

One-Piece Suit
Sandra Dress
Seersucker String Top
Seersucker Tied Hipster
Mandy Dress
Lilly Pulitzer
Adeline Dress
Buttercup Short
Picture Perfect Wedge
Vineyard Vines
Ruffle Wrap Dress
Seersucker Scallop Hem Margo Skirt
Seersucker Whale Baseball Cap
Truly Yours 
Sucker for You Dress
Target

Sorority Chat Friday: Formal

PBX Formal 2012
Hey y'all,

Tonight is Phi Beta Chi Kappa Chapter's Formal so it got me thinking about a sorority chat centered around what to wear to a formal. Now similar to prom, most formals take place at a nice country club, hotel, etc. but it always depends on your chapter. The question of short versus long dresses is also a chapter decision. At my school both short and long are worn and I wore both. Let's take a trip down memory lane:
Formal 2009

Formal 2010

Formal 2011

Formal 2012
The first year I attended Formal I actually wore an old prom gown but in Junior and Senior year I wore J.Crew cocktail dresses I found at Warehouse Sales since I knew that there would not be a lot of events in my future "real world" life that warranted formal attire. I know that often times when attending a Fraternity formal sisters chose short dresses since they were easier to pack for the weekend away. I think it always depends on tradition of the specific chapter/event. However, if I was attending a formal this year, these dresses would be on my wishlist:


RTR

Nordstrom

JCrew


Now go find some gorgeous dancing shoes, a nice gentleman as your date and enjoy a night of dancing (taking a million photos) and enjoying the end of the semester.

Darling Dresses

Hey y'all,

I don't know about you but I have been itching for beautiful dresses to enter my closet now that today there was some beautiful weather. As much as I love the winter (scarves, Christmas, hot chocolate, my Birthday) everytime March comes around I am restless to throw on a dress, bright colors and enjoy the sunshine. Thanks to wanelo.com (stands for want, need, love) I have found lots of gorgeous dresses I would love to add to my closet especially for some variety in my work wardrobe.

Here are some dresses I am loving....
