Bridal Shower the Second

Dress (similar) - Loft / Sandals (similar) - Sole Society / Bag (similar) - Ann Taylor / Necklace and Bracelet (similar) - Stella & Dot

As I mentioned on Monday, I had my second wedding shower over the weekend. My mother-in-law hosted, so it gave me a chance to hang out with Jeff's family as well as meet some of their family friends who will be coming to the wedding. I didn't realize it beforehand, but I actually ended up wearing one of my wedding colors to each shower - guess I have them on the brain!

For this shower, I didn't plan in advance quite as well as last time and had to try on a few things in my closet before deciding on this pink and white striped dress I thought about last week. Usually I have a few dresses ready to go for special occasions, but my dress section feels surprisingly empty right now. I've mentioned this before, but I like to buy dresses for special occasions when I find them rather than shopping for specific events since I can never find quite what I want when I'm on the clock. That being said, I might need to add another dress or two to the wardrobe for other showers, weddings, and events this summer (both of my grandma's are having 90th birthday parties!) so I'm trying to keep my eyes open. Here are a few dresses that have caught my eye:

Do you have a lot of events this summer? How do you shop for them?

And here's my favorite summer bag two more ways - dressed up and dressed down:

I mentioned on Monday that I went to my friend's bridal shower over the weekend.  This was actually the first time I've been to a friend's bridal shower rather than a family member, it was really fun to celebrate with my friends.  I actually have another shower coming up this weekend, wedding season is now in full swing!

Since it was the first shower for one of our friends, my girls and I were all texting the week before about what we were planning on wearing.  We decided on "cute dressy spring," but unfortunately the weather didn't quite cooperate.  I was really glad to be able to pull out Hanes Hosiery's Silk Reflections Sunkissed Ultra Sheer Tight to keep me warm in the chilly temperatures, as well as make my legs look, well, not quite so white.  I haven't worn hose since I was about 14 years old, and back in the day they were super obvious - they never quite matched your skin tone and were always way too shiny.  Not these!  My legs looked flawless with a hint of color, and super super natural.

Lucky for you, Hanes is giving away two pairs of their Silk Reflections Sunkissed Ultra Sheer Tights - enter through the widget below!  The giveaway will be open until Thursday, May 29th at 11:59 pm CST.
