We had Mr.M's work party this week, and after overdressing for last year's shindig, I went the conservative route. I purchased the Anthropologie Night Blooming dress in anticipation of spring, but as we all know with new clothes you want to wear them right away.
This is already my second time wearing this dress, though I'm not entirely pleased with it. I love the top portion, but I wish I could have worn it with other items.
I paired the dress with tights and Anthropologie Head Mistress peep toes. Not crazy about black tights with the skirt, so thinking I may tuck this dress away for a couple of months for when I can do bare legs again. I think it will look best with a cute pair of sandals and maybe a belt. I'm also wearing gold hoop earrings that you can't see in the picture because I cut my head off;)
In the top picture I'm wearing my vintage faux fur that has someone's initials embroidered on the inside, which I love. I'm not crazy about things that are monogrammed now, because they always tend to be preppy, and that is the one look I don't do. (I had been sitting all day working off site so please ignore the wrinkles in the skirt.)

It is the closest I'm able to get to the awesome top(outfit!) Giovanna Battaglia was wearing at fashion week, so I'm happy enough for now.
