Garden Party :: Top Knots & Summer Shifts






Club Monaco Dress | Stella McCartney Pembridge Crossbody - clutch version | Rachel by Rachel Roy Heels | Michael Kors Watch | Cole Haan Cat-Eye Sunnies - similar price, similar look

Hey everyone! Today's post is (probably) going to be my final summer "hoorah" in this Club Monaco dress I picked up over Labor Day weekend. I was surprised it ended up on the sale rack since it's such a beautifully made dress, but if you're familiar with the idea of "hanger appeal" - this dress doesn't have much of it. I was pretty skeptical when I first took it into the dressing room but immediately fell in love the second I tried it on. It makes me wish I had a garden party to attend on a New York City rooftop - pinkies up! Luckily, my Stella McCartney bag was the perfect pink to match the print on this dress (don't you love when that happens?? Best. Feeling. Ever.). Ever since I got my ankle-cuff pumps from J.Crew, this pair of heels haven't been getting much love, but I figured they were the perfect ankle topper for this dress!

And just a little tip - with a dress like this that has such a high necklace plus a detailed collar, I find it best to put your hair up in an up-do so your dress really gets the maximum glory it deserves, lol. And my lazy way out? The infamous sock bun :) 

Thanks for reading!


XOXO,

  2. Such pretty colors on that dress and I love the crochet collar! I think it'll work really well with leggings and booties and layered underneath a sweater/blazer for the Winter. I'm going to see if I can find this in the sale section of my local Club Monaco lol

  3. Thanks Christine! I definitely want to try transitioning this dress into the colder weather, so thanks for the tip!!
    Haha, if not I just checked online and they still have a 00. Not sure what size you are, but I'm wearing a 2 if that helps!

  5. Oh my goodness this is so adorable! A great print and bright color...I'm loving the contrasting collar! I agree...an updo suits best, and accentuates the cat eye sunnies!
