BCBG colorblock dress, Charles David shoes, Lauren Merkin clutch, Michael Kors watch
These were my wedding shoes and clutch. I still love them both and wear them often.
The shower was honoring Bree (in the blue), but Dana is also pregnant. Our husbands are all friends from Medical school.
It seems like everyone around me is having babies right now. It's so exciting to see all the pregnant bellies and hear the stories about how they're feeling, what's changing, what names they're considering, etc. And it's also fun to attend the baby showers! Baby shower attire can be tricky though. I usually try to avoid black (depending on the dress) and I gravitate toward dresses that seem "sweet" (instead of something slinky or form-fitted). I love this BCBG color block dress because it's comfortable (it has pockets, which I love!) and colorful and perfect for any bridal or baby shower. Bree and her husband are having a girl and she's due in about a month. We're so excited for them! What do you usually wear to baby showers?
Wow! I have such a beautiful wife! I am so lucky!
ReplyDeleteOhhh fun....I really like your outfit! The dress is perfect:)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good:)
Kisses and have a fab Wed!
Love this dress! BCBG can do no wrong in my book :) My friends are not quite in the 'baby' stage of life quite yet...in fact the marriage stage is just beginning. But I agree with you on choosing a pretty, sweet outfit with fun colors as opposed to serious black or short and sexy. Great post!
ReplyDeleteLovely B.
Glad y'all had a wonderful time! Your dress is gorgeous! I so love your hair! Need it. Haha. A very swanky shower I must say. Here, we don't get too dolled for them, more churchy-attire.
ReplyDeleteWow absolutely gorgeous dress! You look stunning!

I love your dress, and agree that a "sweet" dress is definitely the way to go for a baby or bridal shower!
ReplyDeleteLove that dress it looks tres fab on you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, it does seem like everyone's pregnant right now... something in the water I guess....
I love this dress! The colors are great and look good on your tan skin! I love that you still wear your wedding shoes. I also try to stay away from black at showers. I recently attended one for my cousin and wore white jeans with a turquoise off the shoulder top.

You are so pretty!! Love the dress and the blue toenails.
ReplyDeleteMy friends all seem to be in the midst of baby time, too... Haven't been to a baby shower yet though!
You look positively gorgeous, Valerie! I love your BCBG dress -- totally agree, perfect for a shower. I also stray towards color and softness for bridal and baby showers.

I knew that was a Lauren Merkin clutch right away and I simply love it! You also look fantastic in that dress. Congrats to both of your girlfriends on the upcoming births of their babies!
ReplyDeleteI usually try to stay away from all black too. The last one I went to I did have a lot of black on (black cami, pants), but broke it up with a black/white cardigan and bold pearl necklace.
Wow!! Love that dress girl!! You look amazing! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I left you an award on my blog!
Those shoes, that dress...you looked amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy sister is is also pregos. It's such an exciting time ; )

ReplyDeleteyou look so amazing in this dress! and i love your matching accessories- especially those shoes! xxx
ReplyDeleteomg dying over that dress!!
ReplyDeleteaww baby showers are so fun! you look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit! I think that dress is perfect for a baby shower. I usually wear floral things. I guess I do because it's always an all girl event and seems appropriate to be girly? I have a feeling all my friends will start having babies soon. It always seems like when one does, everyone starts having kids!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your outfit! That clutch is gorgeous. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love the dress!
ReplyDeleteI love this colourblock dress, and the way in which you combined the golden clutch with it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I agree that is perfect for a baby shower. Not to dull, and not to "posh" . But very chic =)

You look gorgeous and what a fun baby shower! Glad you had a nice time! Cute clutch too. :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful dress! i love it!
ReplyDeletei never get invited to baby showers. but i generally have to clean up after the party is over. :(
ReplyDeleteI love love love the dress! I completely agree with you on preferring "sweet" dresses; when they're tight, I just can't get comfortable.
ReplyDeletePRETTY!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are wearing your wedding shoes (& clutch)!!! YAY!
Hmmm I usually wear something 'pretty' - so a dress or something feminine. One shower I threw for a friend, we knew she was having a girl, so we asked everyone to wear something pink. It turned out really nice! Great pictures.

you totally remind me of jennifer aniston in the last pic. you look FABULOUS and GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the shoes and clutch.
Gorgeous outfit. I love the colors on you!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute dress!!
ReplyDeleteYou managed to create the perfect baby shower outfit! I always find them hard to dress for and usually just consider what the people attending are likely to wear. How fun, to be surrounded by babies (to be)! I love your shoes and clutch and can see why you use them often. Hot hot hot shoes!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your sweet comments! I received a lot of encouragement after airing out my hang ups on the www! Your's was truly appreciated.
I think this is my favorite look yet!!! LOVE the dress, the shoes and you'd better watch that bag.....it could mysteriously disappear the next time you invite me over ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S. You look AMAZINGLY tan, refreshed and Meghan-esque!!
ReplyDeleteVERY cute dress, and absolutely perfect for a baby shower! It will be fun when all of these ladies have their babies and you get to play with them without having the real responsibility ;-)
ReplyDeleteSuuuuper cute dress!
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so flattering. The hot pink band perfectly accentuates your slim waist. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous, girl! And that dress is so so cute, along with the clutch and shoes. P.s. thanks for your nice comment. Hope definitely keeps faith alive, and I appreciate you for telling me that :)
