Images by my Alt roomie, Meg!
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!
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome look - I would have never known it was a tank. That sequin top is so crazy beautiful..love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteyou 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
ReplyDeleteGosh that shirt/skirt combo is absolutely gorgeous! I love love love it!!!! :)

Gorgeous, what a steal on the fab shirt!
ReplyDeleteThat is really creative!!! I never would've thought of that. Thank goodness your blouse had that waistband to tuck the straps into :)
ReplyDeleteNo pants!? Oh, the rumors that could have flown around if anyone had known.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have met you, pretty (and smart) lady.
XO,

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!
ReplyDeleteBut did you have undies on?? Seriously you look fab and I was so happy to meet another friend at ALT with AZ connections.
ReplyDeleteJessie this is one of those outfits that make you go =gasp=! Beautiful!!! And so ingenius with the top/skirt... just gorgeous.
