What I Wore: STLFW Kickoff Party

Spring 2014 Saint Louis Fashion Week (STLFW) kicked off last night with Fabric, a party at St. Louis Public Radio. The event, which featured a video installation exploring the production of handmade textiles and a thought-provoking panel discussion on fashion in St. Louis, has set the bar high for the fashion season about to ensue in the Lou.

I plan to be on the scene, so stay tuned for coverage on the events in April, including a special presentation by Rebecca Minkoff at Saks. Until then, here’s what I wore to the party last night. The look is anchored by a printastic Cynthia Rowley dress I purchased in Marshalls for $29.99. The dress is very similar to this more expensive Milly sheath.
