Tonight, I will be attending a cocktail party. Given the location of the event, the dress code is likely cocktail party casual.
I want to wear a dress, so I think I will finally sport a new one I purchased recently in Dillard’s. I haven’t been in Dillard’s in years. I spend so little time in the mall here that I rarely venture to the side of the mall that houses Dillard’s.
Anyway, the day I ventured into the store, Dillard’s was hosting a major sale (65% off many things). Lucky me, right? I found a hip Kensie printed tiered dress. It had layers upon layers of a striking leafy print and a bold, exposed zipper in the front. It was originally $108, but with 65% off, I purchased it for $37.80.
For tonight’s event, I will play up the rocker-chic-meets-dainty-ruffles vibe by pairing the dress with my studded espadrille wedges. I will take a black blazer in case it gets chilly. Et voila!
Dress—Kensie via Dillard’s
Shoes—Kelsi Dagger via Marshalls
Blazer—Banana Republic
Watch—Michael Kors via TJ Maxx
Pearl Earrings—Overstock (now O.co)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Love it!! The dress is gorgeous and totally perfect for the occasion! 🙂

Hi, Love your cocktail outfit…
I have a quick question…Have you worn or shown the new stripe blazers?…horizontal stripes black and white?…I found one that I am debating and wonder if you think this stripe look will be around for awhile?…It looks really cute with white jeans…THX
Thanks @Mallory! It worked out well at the event.
@Sing: I used to think Kensie was a juniors line, so I never bought anything until now. It really is such a hip line.
Awww thanks @Amina!
@Shasie: When I saw the dress, I immediately knew the shoes would be the perfect complement. You probably do that a lot too right.
@Annie: Yes!! I love stripes and definitely wear them all year and every year. I have a stripe jacket from the Loft that I have featured in a few posts. Definitely check them out! A stripe jacket is quite versatile and can add pizzazz to many looks.
I had the pleasure of running into this dress at Filene's Basement today. I remembered this post and love the blazer pairing. I picked it up for $24.99. Thanks!
@Micki: How fabulous! You will look amazing in it. I would to live in a city with a Filene's B. 🙂
