Party dress

Corey Lynn Calter dress, Hue tights, Christian Louboutin shoes, Chanel clutch, vintage coat

This weekend I went home to celebrate my birthday with friends, indulge in some much needed relaxation, and of course, enjoy a few champagne toasts at dinner. I always take the opportunity to dress up when dinner is going to be a little more special than the norm. Something about putting on a fun dress, dusting on makeup that has a little extra sparkle, and accenting with the perfect accessories makes any night feel more memorable...especially when it's celebrating something fun. I picked up this dress earlier in the year and the short silhouette and party dress style felt like the perfect thing to wear for a birthday. Paired with classic black accessories, the outfit became the perfect combo of understated and fun.

  7. LilyC - The rug is actually a piece my family has had forever. I'm pretty sure it was from an antique store.
