Runaway Birthday Bride

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! I just turned 27 (June 13th Woot!! Woot!!) so let's throw it back to my birthday last year!! If you scroll through my posts you'll see some of my looks from 26. But what I didn't share was my main outfit! Shame on me, so let's talk about it!

An all white ensemble is definitely always a statement look to me. However to some it also means.... bride. All day I heard " You look like you're going to get married!" And then there was my mom who called me a vegas runaway bride! How about angel? Why couldn't I just be called a birthday angel or something? Nope a runaway bride! NEVERTHELESS, it was definitely a great look!

Originally my plan was to just have a big brunch or dinner with all my family and friends. I would only have one look so I had to make it count. I ordered so many different dresses and none of them were giving me the vibe that I needed. I started to order so many different things to piece together and create my own look. Then literally 2 weeks before my birthday I found this!  Luckily, as you can see from my  birthday post from last year it turned into a whole weekend celebration and a trip, so all those extra clothes I ordered did not go to waste! I did wind up still doing a brunch with some of my close girlfriends and this outfit was the perfect look for it.

I wanted an outfit that made me the center of attention. I wanted to find a piece that that turned heads and had a little bit of extraness to it. This dress did just that! The sleeves were my favorite part and they gave it the level of extraness that I needed. At first, I was nervous when I ordered it because sometimes if a garment isn't executed properly sleeves like these can either look lifeless or be stiff and uncomfortable. However, they were perfect! Super bouncy and not itchy and scratchy on the skin​.

The white on this dress was so crisp and bright, which is hard to come by sometimes! Hopefully I can keep it that way. If you can't tell by now I love a good crop top and this one showed just enough skin, and the sweetheart neckline added to the angelic feel. When it comes to the skirt the ruching was the perfect added touch! I like ruching because it hides the tummy, and it never fails that when I eat I get a little food baby! So, this skirt was perfect for brunch because I definitely pigged out! When they created this two-piece dress they added all the perfect elements. I felt like this dress was made for me!

This has been one of my favorite birthday looks! Let me be honest though, pretty much all of my birthday outfits are my favorite looks! I just turned 27 so keep your eyes on the blog to see my next upcoming looks!
