Date Night

My in-laws are in town & staying with us for a while, which means that my husband & I finally get to have another date night (our last one was 2 months ago).  Since the weather is so warm here, I chose a breezy, feminine look for our dinner out.  I love this mix of textures, with the metallic crochet and flowy pleats…and I finally decided to try this milkmaid-style braided updo, which I have a feeling will be my new favorite for the summer.

What I’m wearing:
Candies top (on sale here), Apt. 9 dress (similar here, here or here), BCBG pumps, J. Crew clutch (similar), BaubleBar earrings (here), Target cuff, Nails: Essie Cocktail Bling

    Hello! I love everything about this! First…. you are a beautiful girl! I love this lace top over the pleated dress. The neon popping through is so fun. I LOVE the hair and can't wait to try myself. I wear a little braid regularly, myself, but this is really fun. Fingers crossed I can figure it out?… Tutorial?? Lastly, is that you I saw in Inspired by InStyle wearing the green pleated neon skirt in my Instyle magazine?? Love all the barn pics… you live on a farm, I presume?? Lots of questions, I know…. sorry!! ๐Ÿ™‚
