Meet The Parents.
(Dress: Graxie | Shoes: Topshop | Purse: Chanel | Pearls: Mikimoto)
I wore this '50s silhouette dress which is definitely more conservative than what I usually wear as I was to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time over at Terry's in Salcedo. It was quite nerve-racking, as all first encounters with the parental units are, so I decided to put my best foot forward and peg "good girl" to a tee. I cannot imagine an era I love more for perfection and conservativeness than the fifties. This dress, which I purchased over three years ago has a beautiful eyelet lace detail at the hem and is perfect especially when belted... I was trying to fake the hour glass figure. More so the double tiered A-line skirt was an added bonus as I was feeling the vintage vibe because of the poodle shape. Paired it with wedges to make the look easy and breezy (think: afternoon walk in the park) and pearls. And if you haven't guessed yet, my peg for the night was Summer Finn from 500 Days of Summer... I just adore her sweet adorable look! Hope it worked! (I got rave reviews for this dress from the parents btw!)
