I attended the finale night of Dallas Fashion Week 2012 and I must say I had a fabulous time. I attended three days of the events and I had the best time, so note that for next year. Tonight's event included a Red Ball Aids Awareness Benefit & Award Gala at the magnificent Texas Museum of Automotive History, hence the cars in the background.
Now for the outfit at hand. Wearing a tulle skirt is something that I never I enter into lightly. The thought about wearing a tulle skirt at the ripe old age of 31 had me doubting my ability to pull it off. It's a tricky thing to pull off without trying to look too costumey or like I'm 12 (seeing as I just bought my niece one for Christmas). I jumped into the challenge. I figured to approach the skirt in the most sophisticated way possible and this is the outfit I came up with.
Skirt - Shabby Apple $62 (in an XL my waist size is 40 inches), Lace Top - Kim Kardashian Collection for Sears $50 (sold out, my bust is 44 inches), Belt - Michael Kors $50, Shoes - Payless $20, Lip Color - MAC Spitfire

There was also awesome networking at the event. I must shout out an avid reader, Adrienne, that I met at the Gala. She was so excited about my blog and even though she is not plus size anymore, (she lost 80 pounds) she still is a reader. I'm a regular girl who happens to record her life and style in a blog and it still amazes me that people are genuinely excited to meet "little ole me." It was so humbling to met her and she was super sweet.
Briefly, I wanted to share the next event that I'll be attending in Dallas. It's called Girls Bite Out and it's a dinner party with a purpose. All the proceeds go to the North Texas Food Bank. For more info click here.
