What to Wear to a Birthday Party, Wedding, Dinner Party, or Any Other Fancy Event

Chic outfits for parties + some items I've been loving this week!

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive on social media is from women seeking outfit ideas for weddings, dinner parties, birthdays, and really any other event that requires dressing up a bit more than your everyday style.

It got me wondering when dressing up became a dreaded task rather than a fun luxury. The answer is probably kids, but that’s still no excuse not to have a little fun when getting dressed up.

With that being said, I’ve probably attended more events this summer than I have all year… just kidding, but it really has been a lot. So, I thought I’d round up some recent looks I've worn to various fancy events that you can also wear to weddings, dinner parties, birthdays, and everything in between. Hopefully, this guide will provide some inpso and make getting ready just a bit easier. 😉

This first look is simple yet chic. It’s all about taking your favorite floral dress, adding some accessories to elevate it, and voilà. You guys know by now, I get so many of my favorite dresses from Dôen, and this dress is no exception. It’s the Venus Dress, and it’s truly the perfect silk, lace trimmed dress. The floral print is flirty and fun, but slightly muted so you don’t look or feel too loud, and it goes with literally any neutral. I, of course, paired it with my favorite Jenni Kayne cardigan for when it cools down in the evening, these neutral suede kitten heels from Toteme, some chunky gold jewelry and a white Celine bag.

I think this look would be great for a day time wedding, (or even just a more casual outdoor wedding), or a nicer event that is beginning in the early evening, going into the night.
