So I received an email from Chelsea last week asking if I could create an I’d Wear That for her. Her email said “I am hosting a baby shower on Feb 6th, very french garden, very tea, very sweet kinda baby shower (light blue, light yellow, gold, with a bird theme). She wanted to wear a dress and wanted to keep it on a budget because of course hosting a baby shower can be quite expensive. It sounds like such a lovely baby shower- I hope she will share some pictures with me when it is over! Anyways, here the outfit I put together for her. I didn’t want the outfit to be to matchy matchy with the color scheme but at least make it obvious that she was the host.
Isn’t this dress just darling? I love it. I think it is so sweet with the one shoulder detail and ruffles. What are your thoughts, do think it is a good outfit for this Garden tea party baby shower?
Dress: Ruche $38.99
Nude Lace Tights: Urban Outfitters $14.00
Shoes: DSW $39.95
Hair Clips: Forever 21 $1.50
Bracelet: Forever 21 $5.80

Oh! I love it!
Want to do one for me!?
I am getting married in May and my first bridal shower is at the end of February. It will be in Chicago – so, the weather will be VERY chilly! It is being hosted by my aunt at a nice restaurant. I’d like to wear a dress! haha – I’d love to see what you come up with! I would very much appreciate the help!

This is cute. Especially for the hostess of a shower to wear. I think it’s a nice idea to dress a little more fancy for a baby shower. I have those clips! They’re very sweet.

I just hosted a baby shower this past Saturday at my apartment and yep, they can get pretty spendy! Luckily my mom-to-be didn’t veer from my aesthetic that much (dark colors, tattoos) so, although her colors were lilac and green, I was able to get away with this:

I love this! And I second Taylor’s request! I’m getting married in June and am already wondering what to wear to the showers and the rehearsal dinner. A wedding event themed I’d Wear That would be amazing. And the bachelorette party too!

I can’t believe that adorable dress is only $38. On my wish list for my birthday – it’s SO adorable.

You are not going to believe this but I just picked up those very same shoes because they were shockingly comfortable. And I paid (blush) $24.99 for them! Bonus. Love this look jen!

I am also hosting a baby shower for my sister in Feb. and I love this outfit, but we live in Iowa and I think I may get a little chilly wearing that in Feb. Any suggestions on what I should wear great! LOVE THE outfit!
