What I Wore: Fashion X Dallas

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending Fashion X Dallas as press! If you are not familiar with Fashion X Dallas, it is a 3 day fashion event that showcases talented mainstream and emerging designers in Dallas. Two days prior to the event, I received an invitation to attend. I was so excited!! Soon after I got over the initial shock, I went into outfit planning mode. After spending a half hour tearing up my closet, I was convinced that I had nothing to wear! It always seems that I never have the right clothes in my closet whenever I have to attend a fancy event. Does anyone else have that problem? This meant I had to do a little shopping.  After spending hours in the mall, I purchased a skirt and fringe bag from H&M and decided to resort to Pinterest for a little fashion inspiration for styling the pieces I already owned. Turns out my closet had cute outfits in there after all. It’s amazing how that happens.

Here is the outfit I wore to night one of Fashion X Dallas. I love love love the print on this skirt.

For day 2 of Fashion X Dallas, I decided to have a little fun and I allowed my followers on Instagram to decide how I should wear a little white lace dress. I provided 2 option choices and you guys hooked a sister up! Here are the two options.

It turned out that you guys really liked the black paired with the white dress so that is what I ended up wearing. I call this look the edgy wallflower. If I could only wear one look for the rest of my life, I would most likely choose a leather jacket, statement necklace, and a feminine dress with some edgy shoes. I love the juxtaposition of edgy and feminine.

For the last night I decided to break out some sparkle. I recently found a cute sequin vintage art deco inspired dress by Laurence Kazar while thrifting. As soon as I saw it on the rack I was like oh this is mine!   I was going to save it for the holiday season but figured now would be a great time to step out in this beauty. As Fergie says, a little party never killed nobody! This dress is the party.

    The white lace dress with the leather jacket and fringe purse is my absolute favorite look! It’s chic yet screams rock star, too! But you know I love a good vintage thrift find, so your Laurence Kazar dress is a favorite, too! You looked great for Fashion X!

    I cant decide what is my favorite between the day 1 and day 2. They are beautiful outfits and different styles, but those two are my favorites. I like the colors of the first one and the contrast of the second. Ah! They are all beautiful.

    I love the blue dress! I was fortunate enough to win a trip to Milan to see a fashion show last Fall. Of course, you have to either be in the biz or know the designer. If I knew some designers I would go all the time! They are so much fun!
