Keepin’ It Classy at a Bachlorette Party

What do you wear to the ultimate girls night out? Yes ladies, I'm talking about... the bachelorette party. Last weekend, I attended my friend's bachelorette party and was faced with that exact question when packing. What on earth do I wear? I wanted to look fabulous! A slinky party-girl dress isn't exactly my style, but I didn't want to look like the old maid either. So, I opted to fall somewhere in the middle!

I decided to fashion-it-up and play with bold prints and bright accents. I got this amazing zebra print sheath dress! But this cute little number can easily go from fun and flirty to trashy in an instant if styled incorrectly.

Here are some tips on keeping your fashion classy and styling this bold print to perfection!

When styling a bold print, I like to stick with a classic black and white color palette. It helps to simplify it a bit. There's enough going on with that eye-catching print! I added a white faux-leather moto vest to this look for some feminine edge and to break up the print. Black moto jackets can be a little too edgy, but this white vest is just right for me. It makes the look just a little more interesting!

To wear a necklace or to not wear a necklace? I thought this neckline totally needed a necklace, but it's a little tricky choosing just the right one. If it's too delicate, it would get lost in the print! I went with chunky gold jewelry so it would really pop on this bold print. I chose a gold chain link necklace from Target because it's bold, yet has an air of sophistication.

Remember ladies- the bolder the outfit, the smaller the chain. For this type of outfit, I recommend choosing a small to medium sized chain detail for the necklace. I've seen some really cool, large chain link necklaces but I would reserve that for accessorizing a little black dress.

Lastly, I added a fun pop of color to my look with a neon pink crossbody from Target. A crossbody is ideal for an evening out because it decreases your odds of losing something and it gives you one less thing to carry or hold. When I saw this neon pink beauty in the store, I knew it would be the perfect accent for a girls night out. There's nothing more girly than bright pink!
