The Perfect Summer Cocktail Dress

July 20, 2017

Dress     SugarFix Earrings (Similar ones in white) Loreal Matte Lipstick (Love)

The four sibs. My parents were crazy for having four kids in six years (!!) But I’m sure glad they did. <3

Missing two important people in this photo though, Maggie and Andrew!

Last weekend, my family traveled to Toronto for my dear cousin’s wedding. It was a gorgeous day filled with laughter, love, dancing and tons of food topped off with a Portuguese seafood feast at midnight.

This Few Moda dress from Neiman Marcus was the perfect summer party dress to take me from the ceremony to the seafood buffet (although I ended up wearing another outfit earlier in the day for the church ceremony, just for the fun of it). It’s wedding appropriate with delicate detailing and a midi length skirt, but it’s comfortable fit and cute side pockets make it playful and perfect for dancing the night away.

Playing up the on-trend pairing of girly pink and fiery red, I played up this pretty pink with a matte red lip. I especially love a matte color because it stays put after enjoying a five-course meal and some cocktails.

Anyone else enjoying the weddings of family and friends this summer? If so, remember to give Few Moda gowns a look for truly elegant and on-trend dresses.

 

XO,

Emily
