Ladies' Night!

My dearest readers, I apologize for not getting around to posting my Mothers’ Day Style Guide, but the store was busy and I didn’t have a chance to get around to blogging. But fear not, this week’s guide is dedicated to one of my favorite traditions -- ladies’ night. Usually I’ll do drinks and dinner, but occasionally I’ll hit the dance floor. My friends will probably disagree but at least I’m not sitting on my couch watching Mad Men (fashion heaven!) My inspirations for this week’s outfits are none other than my favorite ladies, my Festivity coworkers: Danielle, Emily, and Cassandra. Oh, and me.


Danielle:



4838 Double Zero Multi Tunic $46
6394 Anoname Paris Skinny Jean $110
5720 Flower Wristlet $5720
1529 Black Drop Earring $20


Danielle is our fearless store manager and resident horoscope expert. D. can often be found wearing skinny jeans, a piece of vintage jewelry, and a stylish top. This look was inspired by D.’s practical, day-to night style. You can’t go wrong pairing a “cute top” and jeans, its classic. I’m absolutely in love with this print top, it’s daring, plus, I have a dress in the same print. I chose white skinny jeans to go with this top because they tend to look more formal than blue denim, and because they scream summer.

- Choose a print or textured top for a more formal look
- A chic top is an easy way to incorporate a trend without breaking the bank
- Go for simple accessories when wearing prints



Emily:






7439 C. Luce Peach Strapless Dress $76
1557 CVD Vermeil Drops $138
7736 Brown Clutch $34

Emily is our website manager and our ladies’ night instigator. Em is the queen of basics; her daily wardrobe consists of a simple dress and fabulous earrings. Her style is practical and feminine. This basic yet chic look is inspired by Em. This peach strapless is a classic style dress but is fun and eye catching. The gold CVD earrings compliment this dress beautifully and the clutch adds a little dimension to the ensemble.

- Wearing classic styles in a fun color is a great way to spice up your wardrobe
- It’s ladies night, so being girly and flirty is a must
- Choose bold accessories, it adds a little character



Cassandra:





7444 C. Luce Fuchsia Zipper Dress$ 80
1529 Black Chip Earrings $20
7698 Gold Clutch $21


Cassandra is our resident princess and nutrition expert at Festivity. Cass has an amazing body; she’s petite and goes to the gym daily-I don’t. I love when she wears form fitting dresses plus she’s the one person I know that could wear Michelle Pfeiffer’s’ cat woman costume, that’s pretty amazing in my book. Cass usually wears dresses that range from body hugging, to 50’s house wife style dresses. However, for ladies’ night this hot pink zipper dress is totally a “Cassandra” dress - bold and daring. I chose black and gold earrings to compliment the hot pink. The gold clutch adds a little shimmer, which is fun for a night out with the ladies.


- Dress for your body and comfort- I complain all day if I’m uncomfortable
- With a dress this daring, go for simple accessories (unless you are going for a show-stopping appearance)
- Zippers are a trend this spring, embrace them with open arms


Me:



4996 Ventti Black and White Dress $54
4295 Rhyne Becton Green Hoops $30
6269 Fruit Salad Clutch $32


I am the resident blogger and junk food connoisseur. On a typical day, no matter what time of year, you will find me in a dress. Dresses are so easy to wear and it doesn’t take a huge effort to pull a look together. I’m modest, so I can’t really go into great lengths about me- but I will say I’m pretty awesome! Any who, I love this simple black and white floral dress. I love dresses with prints, I’m drawn to them. This dress is frilly and girly; it’s everything I look for in a dress. Plus I can dress it up and down, so extra points for this frock. I love accessorizing; it’s all I seem to talk about in this blog, so I chose lime green earrings and a green clutch to jazz up this dress.

- Add flair to your look with colorful accessories
- When wearing white make sure your dress isn’t see-through (wear a slip if it is)
- Embrace your style, it reflects you and makes for a great blog article

You may not be an Emily, Danielle, or Cassandra but have fun when you’re getting ready for a night out with the girls. Stay tuned for my next Style Guide on Summer Staples.
