Over the weekend my boyfriend and I went to a winery party here in Napa. Without much thought I went to my closet and pulled out this dress. It's one that I've had for a while and worn a few times, but this event just seemed perfect for it! I love the silhouette of this easy summer style. My favorite detail is that it zips most of the way up the back with a chunky zipper which really edges up such a feminine fabric. I also love the way the straps work on the top. They create the best lines and take a simple LWD and make it so much more interesting. There were lots of LWDs at the party, but none with a similar detailing, so it was a nice way to stand out while still blending in. And it fits like a dream, so now I'm confused why I don't wear it all the time!
Since this was a garden party I walked away from my favorite wedges and went for a more sensible flat sandal. I hate being uncomfortable and walking around the grounds of a winery in heels is not fun (I've learned the hard way!). I was so happy when I got to the party and saw a few women in heels wobbling through the garden paths and gravel walkways. It made me feel better about my choice, even though I missed the extra height that a great summer wedge offers. Plus, after a few glasses of wine in the blaring sun it was just all around a great decision. I went very minimal with my accessories so I chose sandals that could act as a statement all on their own. They're neutral, but the detailing makes them much more than just a plain nude shoe.
It wasn't until sitting down to write up this post and find links for the outfit that I realized how much of it was from Nordstrom Rack. It truly is my favorite place to shop and this post is just another testament to that fact. I find amazing pieces for great prices almost every time I allow myself to go shopping there. I am completely aware how that sounds like they're sponsoring this post, but they aren't. I just have a personal addiction that should probably be dealt with...
I did a video last spring about getting designer clothes for less money and I swear hitting up The Rack is my biggest tip. I've found so many dresses from Free People like this one to Betsey Johnson and Burberry! It goes the same for accessories and shoes. You really can stock up!
Love you lots,
