This weekend I attended a first birthday party for my
friend’s daughter. For some
reason, deciding what to wear to this event had me stumped! On one hand, this is obviously a big
event (I mean, you only get one first
birthday party, right?). However,
kids’ birthday parties aren’t typically very formal occasions. Each outfit I contemplated seemed
either too casual or too formal.
I managed to make a decision by focusing my attention on one
piece that I truly wanted to wear, and then I built my outfit around that
item. During previous snuggles
with the birthday baby, I have noticed that she loves touching and holding on
to my statement necklaces.
Therefore I decided that my outfit must include a big necklace in honor of
the glamour girl in the making.
This also seemed like the perfect moment to sport a necklace that I
bought last week!
I paired the necklace with one of my go-to skirts (super
comfy). I liked the way the skirt
accentuated the pretty blues in the necklace. I used to strictly wear this skirt with solid-colored tops
but as I continue to experiment with remixing my wardrobe, I find that this
skirt is really versatile! In this case, I decided that a striped t-shirt kept
the outfit casual while adding a bit more character than a plain tee.
What do you think?
What are your go-to ensembles for events that are somewhere between
formal and casual?
What I'm wearing:
- Striped Tee: Old Navy (exact)
- Skirt: Old Navy (similar, similar, similar, similar)
- Blue Statement Necklace: Francesca's (exact)
- Wedges: DSW (exact)
