I rented this with the matching pant to wear to my cousin's somewhat informal rehearsal dinner. As I had to work then catch the plane and then immediately go to the dinner, I wanted something that would be comfortable to travel in but would look nice after a day of wear. I will say the material is great. A strapless bra was plenty covered up. HOWEVER, my main issue with this top was the clasps to close it. They are hook and eyelet type clasps like in a bra and they were all pretty bent up. Meaning that the shirt didn't want to stay shut even tying the bottom super tight. I tried duct taping it when I ran home to grab my suitcase. But by the time I got to Atlanta, it had almost popped open completely. So I had to get a little creative and ended up wearing it backwards and had some nice ladies help me to tie it in the back. When I arrived to the dinner, I told my mom all about the debacle but she said she had no clue and thought that the outfit was supposed to look that way. So it all worked out in the end!

Can I tell you how much I LOVED this coat? We had a wedding in the mountains in Virginia in February and this was perfect. I wore it over a LBD with heels and it worked perfectly. The texture and faux fur make this coat absolutely sing! If only I wasn't a Floridian, I would have bought this in a heartbeat!

I loved this pants! I wore them on a long plane ride and was able to go straight to my cousin's rehearsal dinner. I will say I am 5'7" and wore these with flats but still had a good bit of ankle showing. It was a very informal dinner so no one noticed but if you planned to wear with any sort of heel, these would be quite short. But they'd look great with an espadrille I will say!

5'7", 150 lbs., 36B - size 8r was perfect wearing flats. You could not see my shoes thankfully but it was short enough that I did not trip all night. I wore a Nubra just to be safe. I accessorized with the Alexis Bittar Gold Crystal Encrusted Collar, hammered gold bangles, and black flats. The color is more of a merlot/berry in person. (Also this photo is from 4AM after a wedding that started at 6PM so I apologize for my face haha.) I know sexy appropriate; that's an oxymoron. NO. Mind you this ceremony wasn't performed in a church but I still went to a formal black tie wedding wearing this from ceremony to after party. It was so comfortable and made this normally awkward and klutzy woman feel like a refined and sexy woman without making me uncomfortably exposed at any point. I carry a lot of weight in my belly and hips and at no point did I feel the need to suck it in, even for photos! The M.A.C. Lipstick color Diva matched this perfectly and with some super glam eyelashes, I felt beautiful for the first time in a long time. Do yourself a favor and step out of your comfort zone for this dress. You will not regret it!
