A Classic Kelly Outfit

05/05/14 | Calvin Klein, David Yurman, Fashion and Style, J Crew

As you probably saw from my Instagram and Twitter I was in Nashville this past weekend for my cousin’s wedding.  Once I connect with the photographer I will be posting dozens of shots from the event, a Pinterest dream come true, but until then, my look from Friday night.  After getting nails done with many of the bridesmaids and preparing for the family brunch on Sunday I went to the rehearsal dinner along with 50 other friends and family members. Right before the event,  my mom was nice enough to snap a few photos outside the venue.

/ J. Crew Earrings / Calvin Klein Pumps ()  
3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Taupe/Grey Medium Satchel 

This dress is one I picked up at Ann Taylor a few months ago and has since been in frequent rotation in my closet.   As you know from past posts,  cobalt or royal blue is my favorite color and this dress is just perfect.  I have worn in to a Broadway play, an important work meeting, and now, my a rehearsal dinner.  When paired with some of my favorite pumps – these metallic snakeskin Calvin Klein’s (seen here and here) makes this look a classic Kelly outfit.  Once inside I took many photos during the dinner but one of my favorites has to be this shot with my Aunt Linda!

It was a wonderful weekend and I can not wait to share more!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
