Friday's Fashion Post is one day early because I am co-hosting Thursday Fashion Files with Jill and Carrie. This is my first time ever co-hosting a link up so I hope when I wake up in the morning, everything is working properly. Although I think I have better computer skills than my hubby or kids, I still have a long way to go!
The last three weeks I have been posting pictures of outfits I wore on my May road trip to Vegas. So far I have shown you Road Trip Outfits, a Day Time Vegas Outfit, a sequin dress that I wore to a Vegas Show, and a Night Time Vegas Outfit. This is an outfit I wore as we began our five day journey home. We were not entirely sure what we would be doing the day I wore this outfit, but we knew we would be stopping at the affluent village of Vail, Colorado so I wanted to look nice.
I always research weather when planning my travel outfits, but because I had no idea what exactly we were doing that day I only looked at temperatures at my wake-up hotel and my night time hotel. Both were in the upper seventies. Vail, however, was not so warm, so I was freezing all day. Thankfully I had my white jean jacket with me, but I was still cold.
I also have to mention I was probably the only person in Vail dressed like this. Everyone else had sportswear/athletic wear on. I felt a little out-of-place. Apparently, even though Vail is affluent, they like to dress in comfortable, yet high end, athlete leisurewear. I also saw several women in fur vests (yes, it was that cold!). I said to my husband "If I knew that was the look here in May, I would have brought mine!". Of course, mine would be faux whereas theirs was real fur.
My dress is borrowed from a friend. It is a Fit and Flare style which I normally never wear because I feel this cut doesn't flatter me. However, I really liked this dress and found it super comfy because the material is a thick, stretch knit.
It has a very pretty see-thru waist line and an exposed zipper in the back. I'm not sure I really like exposed zippers, but they are the trend now.
To add color to the all white dress I wore a coral necklace (old), and carried a coral cross body bag that my daughter gave me for Mother's Day.
I had a white bracelet on while in Vail and it broke while I was shopping in a store sending little beads scattered everywhere. My arms felt naked without a bracelet on, so when I found this pretty colorful one at a gift shop for only $10.00 I snapped it up!
I wore my comfy yellow flip-flops from b.o.c on my feet. Other than having cold feet all day, they were quite comfortable to walk in. The support and grip of these shoes are amazing!
Have a Great Day! And be sure to join the link up below! Amy
