Fashion Show Excitement and Nerves

Last summer I was able to attend a fashion show on a bridge in downtown Cincinnati, you can read about it under my post "Fashion on the Bridge" posted June 26, 2012. I am excited because I have the chance to go again this year, with one of my really good friends. However, I will be attending the show, not working behind the scenes.....so what do I wear? 

When I was at Purdue's fashion show I was just backstage and running around trying to help and hanging out with friends (all of us nervous of course). Because of this I wore jeans, my gold shoes, and my fashion show designer black t-shirt with my red blazer when I was onstage to receive my award. 

Last year I wore what I like to call "my french dress" because it's loose, sleeveless, and is a cream color with red and blue flowers on it. I paired it with a black, short sleeve sweater for when it got dark, a black clutch, and my gold shoes.

Here you can see the dress more, I'm the blonde :)

However, I remember feeling slightly under-dressed because about 3/4 of all the women had heels on and looked fabulous. 

Also, when I attended the Purdue fashion show before I actually went there, so the 2012 show, I went with my friend Zoe (who is featured on my blog as a fashionista). For that fashion show I decided on skinny jeans, my cheetah print top, a vest I bought in France, and I'm pretty sure i wore my brown BCBG heels that I bought for only $13 on sale.

It's going to be hot and muggy, so I don't want to have dramatic makeup or do anything with my hair, such as curling it. I do think I will wear a dress and heels, but do I really want to spend like 3 hours in heels? If only I had a pair of Louboutins I could show off. I'm thinking a black dress (so sweating doesn't show) and my bright pink heels to make it more season appropriate and can work for both day and night.

This could work for the fashion show.

I will probably be thinking about this till I leave my house for the show, but that's life. You stare in your closet and think to yourself "I have nothing to wear" even when it's full of options. 

I will definitely be posting a review on the show after I see it, so stay tuned for that next weekend!
