Party time! My good friend, fashion designer Claire Jane Vranian, celebrated her birthday at her beautiful home. And my husband and I were fortunate to attend. It was a great night with great, interesting people and we were honored to be a part of the festivities.

I planned the outfit around this simple LBD, which my mother sent to me years ago. I get my budget sensibilities from her, so I’m sure she spent less than $20 on it. I also get my figure from her, too, so she knows what styles and sizes works for me. The dress has a great cut to it, and when worn alone, you can see the potential.

Next came the shoes. These are Report Signature and I got them from RueLaLa.com for a steal of a deal. I plan on doing a review on them in the future, but know that I couldn’t wear them all night and had to slip into a pair of flats I took with me as back up.

The look is completed with a studded belt, metallic clutch and a gorgeous hair fascinator given to me by Claire Jane. Don’t you love it?
