AQUA Smocked Bell Sleeve Shift Dress [true to size, wearing in small] // Splendid Janet Crisscross Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals [true to size] similar necklace
Ahhh, event season. You are so fun, but can also be so stinkin’ mentally exhausting when it comes to preparing for you [mostly from the outfit home front]. I’m starting to think that attending a wedding is more stressful for the guests than the bride herself 😉 That’s a slight exaggeration, however, outfits for events can be tricky. Today I’ve partnered with Bloomingdale’s to bring you five completely different looks that you can rock to your next wedding, bridal or baby shower, graduation party, or any other event under the sun! Whether you are a dress person, prefer skirts or feel more comfortable in pants – we’ve got you covered!
If you haven’t shopped online with Bloomingdale’s before – a few quick pieces of exciting news! You can sign up [for free!] to be a loyalist which means one thing, free shipping, all of the time! Additionally, on every order, loyalist or not, you will receive free returns up to 365 days [some exclusions apply]! So yes, free shipping/free returns makes for the easiest shopping experience on the planet. They have a huge variety of items at all price points + run awesome sales regularly, including the 25% off clearance event they have going on right now [just use the code TAKE25] to get in on that action!
K, let’s get this party started!
Look one // Chambray Bell Sleeve Dress + Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals
AQUA Smocked Bell Sleeve Shift Dress [true to size, wearing in small] // Splendid Janet Crisscross Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals [true to size] // similar necklace
Look Two // Ruffle Striped Jumpsuit + Heels 
BCBGeneration Striped Ruffle Overalls [size up, wearing in 4 here] // Michael Kors Denim and Leather Arden High Block Heel Sandals [true to size]

Speaking of outfits that may be out of your comfort zone, this is another one for you to try! Ruffles are on everything these days and you can either run fast the other direction or welcome it with open arms. I’ve chosen the open arms approach. This is a fun twist on a traditional mini skirt. I love the mustard color and how well the chambray compliments it! 
Look Five // Floral Fit and Flare Dress + Heels
