Sometime last year, I decided I needed a dark green formal gown. To be honest, I probably saw a gorgeous gown on Pinterest that I could never afford and have been on the hunt for a more reasonably priced once since. In my new hobby of window shopping, I came across one: emerald, elegant, and (saving the best for last) ON SALE. Boo yah. I still had some Macy’s gift cards left over from Christmas, so I treated myself for no other reason than those gift cards were burning a hole in my pocket. Mac’s unit has no formals or balls planned. I have nothing in my own organizations coming up. But sometimes, when your husband’s gone for almost two weeks, you just decide to buy yourself something pretty. I was thinking of pairing it with this clutch and these wedges. But is it too matchy-matchy?
Famous Footwear: wedges
I love this dress, so gorgeous! I hope you get to wear it soon. š
Great choice! I don’t think that the clutch and shoes are too matchy matchy, I think it works when they match. Most of the time people don’t see your shoes anyway, and they’ll see your handbag more. I’m sure you’ll get a chance to wear your stuff eventually…At some event;) I found a BEAUTIFUL dress at Nordstrom…I too don’t have and event until fall though! š
AH that is such a pretty color.
The shoes and clutch are perfect! Really pretty green too!
I love everything about this outfit. You should organize your own ball! As a sorority alumna, I certainly miss the many opportunities I had to dress up throughout the year. I now live vicariously through Pinterest’s multitude of gown photos.
Love all of it! You never know in the military when you might need it!
