dinner party outfit tips

Having a few friends over for dinner? Yay! Are you cooking? Double-yay! Even if you're just having a few snacks and drinks, you want to look great, of course, but you want to be able to move and groove and feel present in the conversation.

Take a cue from these three rules-of-thumb below:

1. Easy to cook and move in, i.e. comfortable & NOT WHITE

2. Loose-fitting - so you can eat a lot, duh

3. Chic and photo-worthy - goes without saying

Easy, movable pants with a loose-fitting top and light jacket...not over the top; perfect for springtime or summer.

A loose-fitting dress makes it easy to move and eat a lot (praise). love this with a kimono or big cardigan thrown over.

Lord KNOWS I love me a good cozy sweater. Throw one on with some statement earrings, comfy pants, chick loafers & boom.
