The All-White Party: What I Wore

Hi everyone!

Quick check in to tell you guys about my wonderful Labor Day weekend and  to follow up with my last "What To Wear" post. Saturday, my bestie Ebony and I attended an all-white party and had a wonderful time!

Here is how I pulled the look off:

Sorry for the bad lighting and my ghetto self picture!

I bought this Dorothy Perkins dress at the beginning of the summer in hopes that I would go to an all-white party to go to and I FINALLY did! When I first laid eyes on it, I fell in LOVE with the cut of the neckline, and when I finally got it in the mail and tried it on, the fit was AMAZING! This was my first Dorothy Perkins purchase and since then I have purchased three more dresses! I did want to get it hemmed a little shorter for the party, but me, being the last minute person that I am didn’t make the proper arrangements to do so. In hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t. I love how it turned out and the length was perfect. Had I got it hemmed shorter, it probably would have made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

I decided to mix my all-white look with some prints and went with cheetah…or is that leopard?  One of those cats…Anyway!

As I mentioned in my previous post, when I wear solid, basic colors, I tend to do neutral make-up with a bold lip. My bold lip of choice this time was MAC’s Ruby Woo, which is my favorite red! I think it's my favorite bold lip...period. I wear it all the time.

Check out my duck face!

My hair was done by my stylist Brittany, and is actually a trial run of the style I plan to wear for my upcoming class reunion (so don't be suprised when you see it again in the near future). I came across the picture on Facebook, but of course I later saw it on Pinterest as well. I love it and I must say, Britt nailed it!

The rest of my weekend was great too! Sunday, my parents and I went to the shooting range (no, I'm not a thug or a hillbilly...I promise!), and for Labor Day I made this awesome slow cooker Honey Parmesan pork roast that I got off of Pinterest. It was soooo good! You all should definitely print the recipe and try it out! Definitely a wonderful end to my Labor Day weekend!

Ok, Bye!
