Bell(e) of the Ball

to Read (
Words)
Wearing – Crop Top: Asos | Skirt: Francesca's {similar} | Shoes: Steve Madden | Clutch: {old, purchased in an Italian market} | Necklace: Purple Peridot | Bracelet: David Yurman | 
Watch: Michael Kors

Okay, so maybe I didn't attend a ball in this outfit, but I did feel like the belle of the Cirque du Soleil show and that's close to the same thing right? Maybe not, but I did feel like one of the cool kids that was styled to perfection during my birthday weekend and that's equally important in my book. 

While I would normally plan my outfit weeks in advance for my birthday celebration, I ran out of time this year and ended up throwing this look together randomly. After realizing I wanted to wear my new ASOS crop top (thanks Fashion Canvas for this awesome find!), I made a quick trip to the mall and left with this adorable bell skirt from Francesca's. I was super lucky to have found something to wear so quickly and thanked the fashion god's for smiling down upon me that day!

      Thanks girl! Full skirts are a fave of mine right now and I'm just now trying out the crop top trend, so we'll see how that goes.

      I'm totally in love with the shape of this skirt too! I ended up wearing this same skirt a few days later for my actual birthday with a simple grey t-shirt and fun accessories.

      I couldn't agree more. Accessories can totally take the most plain outfit and make it completely stylish. Thanks for stopping by Marianne!

      Francesca's has some adorable things, and some not so adorable things, but if you're willing to look you can definitely find some amazing pieces. Thanks for stopping by Nicole!

      Thank you Lorna! My go-to colors are always black and white so it's fun to accessorize then with brighter pops of color.

    You definitely look like the belle of the ball! I love that crop top (I haven't tried the trend yet but want to after seeing this look) and love the white midi skirt (I also need one of these). LOL. Great look all around! Hope you enjoyed the show!

      The show was amazing! If you ever have a chance to catch a Cirque show, you won't be disappointed. I love both the crop top and skirt and was super pumped that the look turned out so cute. Ha!

      Thanks Jessica! It was my first time stepping into the territory of crop tops, but I think it works well with the skirt. :) Thank you for stopping by our blog.
