When I first tried this outfit on, I was hesitant… It’s a bit more sultry than I’m used to and I wasn’t sure how it would look on my body. You ladies know what I’m talking about… The please leave me in the dressing room because I don’t know if I can handle what I’m about to see in a three-way mirror kinda feeling.
But I stepped out and instead of feeling self-conscious I felt really feminine and fierce. I wanted to go out dancing or on a fun date with my husband. And what a perfect feeling to feel while wearing the outfit because I bought this for the all-white LIKEtoKNOW:it finale party at the rewardStyle Conference.
** I must not be the only one that feels this way, because the outfit is selling out like crazy. I’ve linked two different sites in the links under the photos and in the text below and between the two sites, they have almost every size right now. But if you’re interested, hurry because I don’t think these will stay around for long!
The outfit is definitely body-con but at the end of the day not a lot is exposed… Just an inch of stomach and if you’d prefer to avoid that you can pull the high-waist skirt or whatever you pair the crop with up a bit. I added my super-discounted favorite linen blazer of this season for a little extra coverage (also check out this one on sale until May 4th) and I think a leather jacket could be really cute as well. You can also see me wearing the linen blazer in my #rStheCon Day 1 Outfit post.
This top hugs, lifts, and supports… The front is lined and the back is just lace like the bottom of the skirt. It hits the body at the most flattering point, accentuating the smallest part of the waist. It runs true to size and is available in different sizes here and here.
The skirt hugs curves and has a lining that extends about midway down the thigh. The lace overlay is so beautiful and delicate but provides enough coverage to make the two-piece look work without seeming scandalous. The skirt is available in different sizes here and here. Slits on either side provide ease of movement and just a peek of whatever fabulous shoes you want to add. I wore these lace-up neutral block heels to elongate. There are only a few sizes left, so here is a similar style in case your size is sold out.
The day of the LIKEtoKNOW:it finale party, I was worried my outfit was a bit too casual and more cream-colored than the pure white looks everyone else was talking about wearing. (Leave it to me to stress myself out unnecessarily.) But the beauty of it all is that I ended up with a beautiful, pure white, off-shoulder dress… Available here and here. And I’m saving this lace combo for a night out in New York City this month. You may have seen me wearing the white dress on my Instagram at a museum event in California and you can also see it in my California Instagram Roundup post. I’ve been thinking about recreating and photographing the white dress look I wore for a blog post if you’re interested.
Tomorrow I’m posting a story about the shoes I got to wear with the white dress… It still makes me cringe to think about and I can’t wait to hear what you think or if you have ever been in a situation like that! Hope your week is off to a great start! I’m wishing you May weather and sunny skies.
