Invite: Engagement Party

For better or worse, it is wedding season. That means not only will we inevitably be attending some wedding celebrations this spring and summer, but we may also be invited to an engagement party. I don't know about you, but my first thought is: what do I wear? To be honest, I have been to one of these parties before. Luckily for me, it was winter and I threw on black pants, a shimmery top and no one was the wiser. Something about spring makes people care about fashion just a little more. However, we must be careful of the #1 rule of wedding etiquette. NEVER attempt to show up the bride. This goes for the wedding, the bridal shower, and yes, the engagement party. So, the theme for this party will be cute, but casual.

Let's start with this cashmere sweater in bright yellow. It looks so fun, especially on blonds! To make it even more irresistible, it is on sale for $50 from $128. Pair it with a printed skirt like this vintage one for a sweet, but not overdone look.

These wedges will make your legs look a mile long and the natural color goes with any outfit. Add a clutch and floral studs...now get out there and toast the happy couple!
