Sundress Sunday

SETTING:  Buckhead Tapas Bar
DRINK:  Sangria
SCENT:  Escada Signature

Being a lady in the city has its perks: there are plenty of reasons to get girly.  Weekend plans to meet up with a few girlfriends for tapas in Buckhead transmogrifies into a themed “Sundress Sunday.”  You select a flower print dress by Adrianna Papell with a cinched waist and bateau neckline.  The subtle perfection of the Givenchy leather envelope clutch lends the outfit an almost cinematic feel.

As you float about and mingle, you admire your friends’ sundresses—some colorful, some striped, some with A-line skirts and all adorable.  Classic is always in style.

Want to plan your own “Sundress Sunday” with the girls?  See below for outfit options.

Weekend Inspiration

I love it when a plan comes together.  A couple of posts ago on a "Fashion Crush Friday," I posted pics of a denim Helmut Lang dress, Zara sandals, and a red leather Miu Miu tote (http://bit.ly/crushonit).  This look inspired me so much that I had to try and recreate it.  Also, since I'm not a multi-zillionaire like you, I had to pull this together on a budget (read: I couldn't buy the $900+ Miu Miu bag).  Sophia keeps some tricks up her sleeve, though.  I went to Kohl's and found this chambray dress with a raised waistline and surplice neckline:

Apt. 9 Surplice Chambray Dress - $36 at www.kohls.com




The pairings:

Sleeveless Cowlneck Shirt

Leather and Brass Waist Belt

And, the accessories:

Tan Leather Franco Sarto Sandals

Medium Louis Vuitton Neverfull

What do you think?  Did I pay appropriate homage to the inspiration outfit?
