A few weeks ago, we published our quarterly wedding guest edit with what to wear to all of your Spring events. But more than a few of you reached out: what about something more formal and black-tie! So here we are, back with a stunning edit of more formal gowns and accessories. Personally, I love a black-tie gala and wish I had more of them. If it were me, going off to something more formal, I would wear this chartreuse dress (honestly such a great price!), this wooden tassel clutch, nd a simple pair of strappy sandals (just got these and absolutely love them). Hair slicked back in a low, sleek bun, a big earring . . . good to go!
I’m also a mega fan of this paneled maxi dress (love the matching scarf). It’s timeless, elegant, and not too tight. Read on for even more ideas.
