What I Wore or Just One More Time

I work for a non profit organization and once a year we do an annual fund raiser which we call Second Runway.  It is always a nice event and so I decided that I would wear V8805 to the event.  Here is a photo of the dress you just saw in an earlier post, but now  with necklace and shoes. 

The shoes are Franco Sarto purchased a few years ago and they are a cross between pink and lavender so I thought they went perfect with the dress.  I have to brag say that I got a lot of compliments on the dress.  I carry a Miche bag purse; it is one of those that has a base and then you can change the shell so you have many purse looks without a lot of expense.    So much easier to change the shell than empty the contents into another bag.  I digress--the bag I took was cream colored background with one side sporting  pink and lavender.  I did not take a photo of that. 

I also am wearing my glasses that the frames are pale lavender.  So one final look

  3. You look fantastic. This pattern works for some and not for others. I am part of the 'others.' Very nice job.

    1. Lynn, I thought I was going to fall into the other group myself. In spite of it being fairly easy to put together there were some adjustments along the way.

    1. Thank you. Wearing pink and lavender is kind of new for me but the cream color at the face works well for me.
