Evening wear ideas — Blog

My friend/business partner April and I participated in Baton Rouge Fashion Week via Chokolat Creme this past weekend. It was exciting, exhausting and beneficial. We had lots of fun and that is what really matters.

The best part about the events this weekend, aside from getting more exposure for Chokolat Creme, was dressing up! For these events, I wanted to do something a little more comfortable and different from the usual fitted dress I wear to events. Check out my fashion week vibe below.

For this night, I went for an all red look. I'm digging wide leg pants this season, and it's a must that I incorporate them in my wardrobe from time to time.

Cocktail attire was required for this night. I opted for a tuxedo look. Move over fellas - I got this.

My girl Coop (aka April) was in the building!

Here's a closer look at the bow tie. I took a regular bow tie, adjusted it to my neck size and clipped it around my neck.

For the Big Night, we were asked to wear formal attire. I couldn't see myself in a gown for this particular night since we had to work, so this skirt did the trick.
