I shared a little winter white inspiration with you here last week, but now I wanted to show you what I wore to the Dinner en Blanc party on Thursday night at Alt!
The top is a vintage goodie that I discovered for $6 in Kansas City and just new it would come in handy somday, and the rest of the look just fell into place at the very last minute! I was originally planning on wearing it over a creamy-gold cotton mini dress, but when I tried it all on (not until about 5 minutes before we left the room!) it just did NOT look right at all. I didn’t bring any other white options, and didn’t want to have to throw on my jeggings from my flying outfit the day before, so I slipped on this cotton tank top, tucked the straps up into the snug waistband of the blouse and VOILA – a skirt!
DON’T tell anyone that I don’t have any pants on, though, kay?!
Top to Bottom:
Tassel earrings – DIY (similar)
Sequined blouse – Vintage, thrifted
Tank top as skirt – Old Navy
Clutch – Gift from a friend (similar)
Cuffs – H&M, c/o Charming Charlie’s, c/o Bauble Bar
Cocktail ring – Accessorize USA (similar)
Heels – c/o Aldo (similar – only $30!)

um, do you mean UNDERpants? TMI!
You look adorable.
That top is fantastic — what a prize
You look fabulous. I CANNOT believe your ‘skirt’ is really a tank top. Or that your sequined top is a $6 vintage find. Stunning!
This is such an awesome look – I would have never known it was a tank. That sequin top is so crazy beautiful..love it!
Such a gorgeous look, Jessie. I love that shirt, and cannot believe that is a tank top! You look incredible!

um, apparently i need to pick your brain about where to shop in kc. that top is so good!
I can’t believe you figured that out last minute! If it was me, I’d definitely be wearing the travel jeggings…and feeling horrible all night! I would never have guessed that you were, in fact, pants-less.
you look so amazingly stunning in this … I would never in a million years guess that is a tank top!!!

Wow! I cannot believe you scored that shirt at a thrift shop! It’s amazing. The way you turned a tank top into a skirt is also really neat! Would have never thought of that.

My third try. I still have that top wrapped in tissue with my old lingerie. It was from a time when my breasts were the size of champagne glasses, not flutes. Alas, now they are margharita’s and won’t fit. So when I come across it, I just ;Remember when’. Here is a link to a wonderful song with that title, (maybe as my Flash player has crashed, but give it a try ) Remember When by Alan Jackson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnM99Z6QGZ8
Gosh that shirt/skirt combo is absolutely gorgeous! I love love love it!!!! :)

Gorgeous, what a steal on the fab shirt!
That is really creative!!! I never would’ve thought of that. Thank goodness your blouse had that waistband to tuck the straps into :)
No pants!? Oh, the rumors that could have flown around if anyone had known.
So glad to have met you, pretty (and smart) lady.

Tank top as skirt? I don’t understand. I like the idea though. I guess this would only work for baggy/oversized tanks? Love the sequin top, it’s absolutely gorgeous!
But did you have undies on?? Seriously you look fab and I was so happy to meet another friend at ALT with AZ connections.
Jessie this is one of those outfits that make you go =gasp=! Beautiful!!! And so ingenius with the top/skirt… just gorgeous.
