the perfect formal event: spring edition

Spring isn't usually too formal, and neither is this vintage 60's dress from Posh Girl Vintage.


A vintage dress becomes more than moderne with these Moschino Cheap and Chic strawberry wedge sandals!


Let a woven hot pink shopper tie the whole thing together!


And a hat finish it off.

the perfect date: spring edition

The Clothes:

Easy, springy, adorable cotton tee from Anthropologie


In case its chilly, this is a light, soft, easy blazer that goes dressy OR casual.


These dark-wash stretch trouser jeans will work beautifully for fancy dinners and picnics in the park alike. They're comfy enough to wear everyday, dressy enough for a date, and fit beautifully.


These super-girly peeptoe pumps in fuchsia are perfect for a fancy dinner-and-a-movie or other heel-worthy event...


...but if you're not really a heels girl, or are going casual or somewhere that involves, say, walking, these will do the trick just as well. ;-)


Don't forget to smell just as lovely as your flowers!


Get this adorable patent-leather shoulder bag in yellow or fuchsia--yellow for pink shoes and pink for yellow shoes.

Now all you need is the perfect man...

Go get 'em,
Lizzy :-)
