This past weekend I had the honor of celebrating one of my beautiful best friends and her soon to be lil’ one! Shannon’s shower was everything – from the mini tea sandwiches and french macarons, to enjoying the fall mountain air out on the big deck, there couldn’t have been a more perfect way to celebrate!
I picked up this outfit for all under $40 not quite sure how I would style it or for what occasion but it was PERFECT for her shower!
My whole outfit is styled from my all time favorite Forever 21 – you know I’m a fan of cute AND affordable and this fit is just that!
The dress is flowy and breathable, so it was perfect for this fall day paired with the suede booties. It fits in all the right places – although I do wish it had a bit more tightness in the chest area for my smaller chested gals, you guys understand the struggle.
I ordered in a small and medium because I wasn’t sure what the fit would be like, and ended up keeping the small. It’s great because the dress has a zipper up the side that creates the snugness in the chest area and keeps the rest of the dress flowing.
Normally I’m not a big pattern girl but I am allllll here for the muted floral pattern on this dress, and you guys already know I’m a sucker for all things bell sleeve – this dress really checks all the boxes!
I have to say these boots made me question if I have the widest feet ever or I’m just a baby when it comes to breaking in new shoes – they aren’t the most comfortable for the first hour or two but once you break those puppies in they are a dream…and officially the cutest booties I have ever owned. I can’t wait to style them with all my fall outfits!
I kept it simple with a half up half down, and paired my favorite pair of gold hoop earrings – since the dress itself is the statement piece it didn’t need too much more to elevate the look.
Not only would this outfit be perfect for a baby shower, but it would also be a great wedding guest dress, perfect for a Thanksgiving get together, Sunday brunch, or even as your next day date dress! The options truly are endless.
Shannon – thank you for giving us another reason to celebrate you! Your little one is already so loved and spoiled. We can’t wait to meet her, and help you change her outfits 9 times a day!
You are going to be the most wonderful mom and I can’t wait to see where this adventure in life takes you! I know Bill is smiling down wondering what in the world all these baby contraptions are,
but ir-regardless of it all he would be so proud and so happy.
We’ll meet you soon lil’ McNally!
