the dress: JARLO 'Pia' lace peplum gown - $149. I have a really hard time finding fitted dresses since my chest size is so much larger than my waist and hip size...it can be a real pain. I was so thrilled when I found this gown online at a price that couldn't be beat and it actually fit me like a glove with no alterations needed...win!! I feel like a celebrity when I put it on.
the clutch: House of Harlow 1960 'Danielle' clutch - $195 {purchased for $98.} I scored this clutch from Nicole Richie's accessory line for half off in a post-holiday online sale and think it compliments the dress perfectly. I love the sparkly leopard closure and classic shape!
the jewels: House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst Tassel earrings - $38. Since I plan to wear my hair down, I like how these fun vintage-inspired tassel earrings will dangle out of my hair when I move. I'll also stack a few gold bangles on one of my wrists.
the shoes: Pour La Victoire 'Yaya' sandals - $250. I already own these heels so I don't have to buy a new pair which is fantastic. I think the simple silhouette and gold hardware will coordinate well with the entire look - they will just barely peek out from under the dress.
the makeup: I plan on wearing a dramatic black cat eye with long lashes and bold red or burgundy lipstick a la Marilyn Monroe! I'll keep my face otherwise simple by going light on the eyeshadow and blush.
the hair: I'm going to attempt Sienna Miller's retro-glam side swept waves using this tutorial from The Beauty Department. I hope I can pull it off because I think it's the perfect hairstyle for this dress!
I've been one to one black tie wedding but the dress code was NOT this fancy (which is a bummer, because I wanted to wear a long dress!). You're going to look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a wedding in forever, let alone a black tie one–I'm so jealous of you! Every girl loves the chance to get fancy, and I think you're going to look gorgeous. I love Sienna's waves!
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS! Despite the number of weddings I feel like I've been to lately, I have yet to attend a black tie one. Would die for the chance to wear a gown like that, you will look stunning!
