Faculty Event Outfit: Back to School

Every year the campus hosts an annual dinner to usher in the new semester. All the faculty and staff are invited and it is a great occasion for dressing up. I wanted to wear something special and something I hadn't recently worn so I pulled out my Babergh Dress from last year. It had just the right amount of sparkle mixed with an uncommonly figure-hugging silhouette. I was inspired by how I felt wearing a pencil shape the other week (blogged here). Branching out is fun! I gave and received many compliments that night. It was novel and great to see everyone wearing fancy clothes! We clean up well. I only wish I had some shots of me with my colleagues or Chris who was my very dapper date. Sadly I forgot to bring out my camera til the very end of the night after I got home.

You look beautiful- I love how the dress looks like a skirt and top yet is so elegant! Very sexy and classic and I love the starfish cuff!

Tien said...

That dress looks so perfect on you!  I love how the bag gives the dress a classy, ladylike touch without being too prim.  Too bad about not having a camera.  I would have loved to seen a picture of dressed up Jess and dapper Chris.

love your outfit and your accessories!  that silhouette is gorgeous on you.  I'm at my most comfortable in a full skirt as well but did just buy a sheath dress so we shall see how brave I am :)
