Party Dress

Hey guys! I have been so excited to wear this outfit because it just makes me so happy! It’s a TOTAL party dress. Ok, I’m lying. It’s not even a dress. It’s a skirt and top – but you get the idea 😉

But really, I can’t help but smile when wearing this full skirt in fun colors!!! It’s a twirling skirt for sure! And it’s under $50. I’m wearing a medium and it fits perfectly. Any tighter and it wouldn’t fit.  Check the size guide on the website when you order yours.

Here’s a question for you guys. How do you feel about wearing in a little bit of white to a wedding? Like, I was wondering if this work would be good as an outfit to wear to a summer wedding. But is it a no no to wear a white top look? I’m not really sure and would be super interested to hear what you guys think.

Speaking of this white top, it’s really such an essential piece in my wardrobe. It’s really important to have a nice structured top to wear with high-waisted items in your closet. At least formal high-waisted items. For example, a plain white tank tucked into the skirt just wanted to have a look as nice. It would’ve looked a little sloppy and I’m done. But this white crop top is structured in a way that it fits with the formal skirt and doesn’t double down the lock. I find myself wearing this crop top again and again. Mine is actually from last season. But it’s the exact same designer of the one I’m linking. So I’m sure the fit is the same. It honestly might even be the exact same top just restocked.

I also feel my Dreamcatcher earrings really make this look extra fun! Since the skirt has so many vibrant colors I really had the option to wear multiple different bright colored statement earrings. But I went with these fuchsia ones for this look.

Sticking with fuchsia, how about my heels! I mean really it doesn’t get much more fun then fuchsia pumps. I know I keep referring to this outfit as fun but that’s just because it is!

I just adore the close-up shot of my mama a bracelet and love the bracelet with Molly holding on to my hand with her little tiny hand. I feel like that’s a framer for sure. Molly is wearing an adorable little Boho romper that I love to dress her in (see her wearing it HERE too). And her Freshly Picked moccasins which she wears every single day.

  1. All of your family/fashion blogs are great to read but this one is one of the best!
    To see such cute photos of Molly with you having fun & both of you smiling is priceless.
    I think wearing that beautiful skirt & white crop top to a wedding would be a super choice.
    Keep smiling….Molly & her Mama have adorable ones!

  2. Hi Ali! This chicwish website has so many great skirts – did you run into any issues ordering from them? I’ve heard mixed reviews and I felt nervous about buying one. I’m a size 4 usually and was thinking of going with a M, do you think that would be okay? Thanks so much!!!

    1. I’ve ordered items from Chicwish and everything has been true to size.I’ve not experienced any problems.

  3. You look darling and sooo happy, Ali! I love every part of your look! You will look fabulous at a summer wedding wearing this outfit and jewelry! I’m 66 yrs. old, but I’m fit and still running, skiing, riding bikes and hiking! I was raised with an etiquette-serious but such a wonderfully fun and terrific mother! I hope you and Molly will have the close, adoring relationship I shared with my mom, gone now 14 yrs.! Molly is precious!

  4. First of all, I love this whole outfit! I have a question about a necklace you had on in one of your instagram stories. It was a story you posted while you were in Miami. You were wearing a blue floral dress or top and you had a gold chain double layer necklace on. I would love to know details about the necklace. It looked so cute with your outfit and was simple and understated. Thanks!

  5. Love the outfit, but the star of this post are your baby girl’s delicious thighs! Nothing better! 🙂

  6. Ali is there anything that you don’t look good in? LOL. I wore a white top to a wedding. Never thought about what you should or shouldn’t wear. Ooops! Hope I didn’t offend anyone. LOL. I wish I loved wearing skirts or dresses cause this one is so cute!!!!

  7. I love the look, probably one of my fav ! I personally wouldn’t care if you wear that to my wedding, but I definitely know people who were seriously offended that smeone whore white top and black skirt to her their wedding lol, so I think it’s totally up to the bride. Maybe wear a different coloured top and you’re probably golden!

    Your daughter is just the cutest little thing, and my goodness she looks sooooooooooo much like her father !

  8. Ali! I am so mad at you! Not only is that skirt totally adorable and I want to buy it but now they’re recommending these other skirts that I love even more! How acceptable is it to sell off organs to buy some of these outfits? ? I know on some of your posts we get X% off because you’ve done a partnership. I didn’t see anything in the post about it but figured I would ask! Also, you seem to be such a casual person and casual people usually hang with other easy going pals so I doubt your friend would be bothered if you showed up in full white for the wedding. With that said, a white top should totally be allowed at a wedding. If someone is offended, quote Kelly Kapoor from The Office.

    1. There is a discount listed on their website (Tre20) that gets you 20% off! It saved just over $8 on this skirt and there is a free shipping option. Overall it was just over $35!

  9. I couldn’t imagine someone being offended by that dress to a wedding but I suppose it just depends on the wedding/bride and groom. Honestly, if someone were offended, I would feel so uncomfortable being a guest, even if I was a close friend or family member (but that’s just me!) To each their own, though! 🙂 I had a beautiful and simple summer wedding in a rural area. I didn’t have a dress code for my guests or super high expectations. In fact, it wasn’t even something I thought about. I realized though that people have super strong views about wedding attire. I just happened to be a pretty laid back bride about it and I feel like that was true to my character/personality. While weddings are about the bride and groom, you don’t want to make the guests feel criticized and judged for their appearance.

    Soooooooo… after this philosophical/psychological analysis of this blog topic HAHAHA….I think you should wear the dress!:):) It’s absolutely gorgeous and just screams spring and summer! Heck, Id wear this in the winter 🙂 LOVE IT! 🙂

  10. This outfit is my favourite! It’s just so much fun – totally agree with you and you look just so stunning!

  11. Okay I love the skirt so I ordered it! That top is so cute, but $88 is too much for me to justify. Can you think of a more affordable option that might look just as great? ?
