I have some statement earrings that I typically wear to formal events, but I really wanted a gold drop pair, but could only find costume jewelry or fine jewelry vs. an in-between price point that looked super elegant. Since I was renting this dress, I looked around at the jewelry (I hadn't rented jewelry from RTR before) and thought this pair would be perfect. I was only worried about them being too heavy, but they were not! My ears aren't necessarily sensitive, but I hate when earrings pull, and these had a really nice back, so I wasn't worried about losing one, since they were rented, which was my only other concern. Since I wore my hair up, I loved that you could see the gold sparkle when I moved, vs a chunkier statement earring. I wish I could upload a video because that really does them justice for how much they sparkle and catch the light!

I had a black-tie optional wedding, but we had to wear black dresses, and this was perfectttt!!! I have a formal black dress but for some reason when I looked in my closet Monday I could NOT find it anywhere. I spent an entire day going store to store trying to find something I even remotely liked that would fit the dress code, and I had no luck and no time to order something from a traditional retailer. I ordered this on a Monday night to arrive by Thursday, which was perfect. This one was so chic and classic. I got the small and XS, and both fit almost identically. I ended up wearing the XS because at the last second I realized the bottom of the small could've used a little steaming, and I was running a little late, so I just wanted to see, and I noticed very little difference in the fit, so I just went with the XS. For everyone in attendance wearing black, and this being pretty classic, I couldn't believe how many compliments I got. I am a personal stylist, so I was originally bummed I might have to be in something boring when I had a fun reason to dress up, but this was seriously so great. I love the neckline and the way it ruches right around the hip area because they are the perfect little details that set my dress apart from other just classic black dresses. Because of the neckline I wore my hair up and statement earrings to emphasize the neckline and avoid too much is going on around your neck and shoulders. It really drew attention to the draping across the neckline to keep it simple. For reference, I am 5'4 and was worried about needing a long dress hemmed like the one I own, so I didn't have to wear 5-inch heels, but I ended up being able to wear these random 1.5 sparkly Zara sling backs to add some sparkle to the look because the height of my heel made zero difference to the length! I'm not necessarily short but typically a formal floor length dress I need at least a couple inches hemmed or to wear really high heels and didn't need to with this one!
