FANCY & FORMAL

So this weekend we had our sorority's big parents formal and I'm being completely honest when I say it was one of the best nights I've had in college so far.  My parents came all the way across the country for the weekend and Saturday night we drove out to a beautiful estate and had cocktails and dinner under a huge white tent.  Then, of course, the band came out and any hope of hair and makeup staying in place went out the window.  Luckily, wedges are super easy to dance in!  This is the outfit I wore (well, with a few caveats).  

Caveat #1: My wedges were actually the Aldo knockoffs from a season or two ago, which I couldn't find online anymore.  

Caveat #2: Let's be honest - we weren't drinking anything close to Moet.  

We still had an absolutely fabulous time!

AU NAUTURALE

Isn't that mix of textures and shades of neutrals absolutely fabulous? I'm looking to inject a little bit of that nude-colored magic into my spring wardrobe.  Let's only hope my outfits turn out as fabulous as hers!

PATTERN PLAY

These patterns have caught my eye over the past week - clearly there's a cream/black/pink/red theme going on! If I had to pick a favorite, I'm really digging the uneven dots of number three, but I could think of a thousands places to use any of them!

LONG TIME NO SEE

Hi! Sorry I've been completely MIA this past week.  Our internet has actually been down in our apartment, which means that I spent a lot of time in the library - a place where doing things other than homework tends to be frowned upon.  And then I jetted off to Chicago for Easter weekend to meet up with my family.  It was a whirlwind trip, that's for sure, but I loved every second of my time in the Windy City!  Hope everyone else's Easters (or Passovers) went just as well as mine did!
