Plussize Glamour Girl: Go Gold or Go Home

If you know me, you know that I don’t do things half way…and I simply adore a good theme party!! So…I was thrilled when two of my awesome friends got married last month, with an Art Deco theme. Art Deco is all about glamour, metallics, and linear symmetry…and it shows up in everything from the art, architecture, jewelry, cars, and of course, the fashion of the time. When I was looking for the perfect dress, I was inspired by images like these…

Glamorous, long dresses…defined by intricate draping, beading and distinctive linear patterns and pleats were the haute couture of the day. I searched and searched for the perfect dress….and I found it at Macy’s from a label called Betsy and Adam!

I thought a floor-length gold lamé gown with a super low v-neck and a side slit might be a little over-the-top, and then I was like…who cares? I look FAB-U-LOUS!

 

I also scored these amazing 5″ Oliana Platform Pumps from Madonna’s new shoe collection, Truth or Dare at Macy’s. I loved the black and gold details–so perfect for an art deco night out.

I actually lasted about 3 hours in these heels before changing into flats…and that’s pretty amazing, right??

It was a great night, and I felt beautiful and glamorous…What more can a girl ask for?? 🙂
