I took the J Crew dress to the mall and attempted to find either a) shoes that matched one of the jackets I already owned or b) a jacket/cardi that matched the shoes I already owned. In the end I found a pair of off-white patent leather peep-toed shoes, very very cheap at Aldo, and a somewhat matching clutch. I was going to wear it with a cream/beige jacket, but at the last second, I dug up a little cardigan from J Crew that has a French country-side scene printed on it..... it turned out to be perfect!
And thankfully, the fundraiser was a small cocktail followed by a comedy show, so the chit-chat part was minimal. Yeah!
(oh, and look, white trim! )
looks perfect!! Way to pull it off

Adorable! Love your hair, too. And I'm glad the evening was bearable. (I would have been dreading it too.)

You look great! Glad the evening wasn't too bad! It sure is easier to have a good time when you know you look good, isn't it?! :)
