Fat Fashion Thursday - To the Opera!

Fat Fashion Thursday is back for another dose of hot fashion and animal-friendly accessories. Only one look this week, but one is better than none! I’m going to see one of my favorite authors, David Sedaris (holy cow, why don’t you have a website, must get on this) on Sunday, and it’s being held at Chrysler Hall, home of fancy concerts and operas. I asked Cassie if that meant we had to get all gussied up opera-style, and while she said she doubted it very much, I started to wonder what my opera outfit would look like. Well here we go!

to the opera

The foundation for this look is the JS Boutique Beaded Mesh Dress ($158). This color is such a statement, yet it’s muted enough to look great on a variety of skintones, plus you get to show off your terrific décolletage. A winner. On your feet are gray satin (two trends I back) Ashley Pumps ($36) with a stacked heel that won’t make these babies impossible to walk in. How about some handmade accessories with this look? I hit up Etsy for a Black and White Clutch ($45) with a gorgeous brocade fabric and an unforgettable pair of Lady Madonna earrings ($75). Top that off with a sassy Betsey Johnson Sequined Bangle ($35) and this smart little Jewel Cluster cocktail ring ($10) and you are so ready for a night on the town.

I'm so jealous, I love David Sedaris. I had no idea he was going to be here.

You'll have to tell me all about it on Monday.

Aw, Amber. You should wear this outfit! I love it - especially the clutch.

Don't ever listen to me again.

David Sedaris is hilarious... and the whole Sedaris family seems to be pretty talented, do you know Amy Sedaris?
The outfit is G-R-R-E-A-T

It's kinda sad that people don't get dressed up any more. There are so many pretty dresses out there and nowhere to wear them.

Hey Amber- Did you buy this dress? If so, how was the fit? I have a few holiday parties in Dec that it would be great for, but not sure what size to get. Does it run big/small?
