Outfit Post: Dinner Party

The husband and I recently attended a dinner party for South magazine out at a local Indian restaurant- Pakwan (excellent food!). To get into the spirit of things, I dressed accordingly, with a little help from my thrifted sheer tunic. This piece has a special memory attached to it... I was late to a date with my husband when we first met because I was thrifting and couldn't pass this little gem up!




Uploading these pictures reminds me that I read the other day in my latest issue of Marie Claire that Indian-inspired fashion is a current trend of the moment. Think gilded embellishments, black and gold color combos, and tunic dresses layered over leggings or trousers. To really go all out, you can add much more embellishment than I did here (and trust me I will!) Use sheer fabrics or saris, load on the embroidered and jeweled details (headwear, sandals, clothing), and pile on bold jewelry of gems or gold via ornate necklaces, earrings, and bangles/arm cuffs!

P.S. That face above is the one I like to do for my husband to play around :)

Details:,
Sheer tunic top- thrifted
Belt- borrowed from another dress
Clutch- vintage via yard sale
Leggings- H&M
Black tank-Target
Black stretch mini- Charlotte RusseBlack socks- Gina's beauty supply
Platform wedges- Steve Madden @ Macys

Linking up at Ta-dah Tuesday!

    I couldn't help but smile when I read that you were late to an early date with your husband because you were out thrifting. I've almost been tardy a few times over the years because I was thrifting/going to yard sales, too :)


    Thank you very much for you sweet comment on my vintage outfit this week, dear gal, I totally appreciate it!
