Reader Request: Anthro Dress to High School Reunion

/// categories: , , ,


I recently got this request from Tiffany,

I just bought this dress in Navy from Anthropologie. I love it but it's kind of plain all by itself and I think some accessories could really turn the dress into a great outfit. I feel like it's kind of dark for summer but I'm planning on wearing it to my husbands 10 year high school reunion in a couple weeks. Any ideas for shoes and accessories? 

Thanks for the help!

Tiffany

I thought I would keep the ensemble simple and sweet, using pink accessories and fun shoes:


Secret Treasure Dress  - Anthropologie - $118.00 {similar here - under $50}  
Simple White Mums - SimpleSerendipity's Etsy Shop - $4.00
Skinny Leather Belt  - Shade - $3.99 (Orig. $10.50) <---- I have posted on this belt several times, and am so stoked about the price drop
Mossimo Odell Floral Flats - Target - $12.99 <--- own them, love them
Accessory Total:  $19.98

What do you think of this outfit, is it something you would wear? Any tips on dressing for a reunion? Leave a comment!

Happy Shopping.

    Great outfit! I was eying those shoes at Target the other day but they didn't have my size.

    I think the outfit itself is absolutely adorable, totally love it- just wondering if it's dressy enough for the reunion- she didn't specify the venue type or whether it was at night. Nonetheless, I pretty much want to buy this outfit now!

    I feel like I would add something in my hair...a flower? something sparkly?
    something.

    Excellent color combination, especially with the tint of purple in that navy dress. The patterned shoes add a little bit of flair to a big block of color. I would definitely wear it.

    I agree with Holly above, something else for the hair. Something simple though, like a headband. I like the less-is-more feel of this outfit. I love that Anthro dress!

    There is a similar dress on Down East Basics for less than the one posted. I love the navy with a splash of color. I may have to steal this idea for my class reunion in October. Thanks
