JILL'S ENGAGEMENT PARTY JUMPSUIT

For Thanksgiving, I went down to Florida (see some pictures here) not just for the holiday, but for an engagement party my parents threw for my fiancé and I. When I went shopping with my mom for an outfit, I of course had white in mind - but once I saw this black sequin jumpsuit, I knew I had to wear it. The bride gets to do what she wants, right?

The engagement party was so special and we are so thankful. I'll be sharing more photos from the night on the blog soon, but for now, here's what I wore. I paired my Parker jumpsuit with Valentino Rockstud heels, a Love Moschino clutch, assorted Pandora, vintage, and H&M rings, and a Kate Spade bangle borrowed from my maid of honor.

Jess wore her maid of honor dress from her best friend's wedding in April. You may never think you'll wear that bridal party dress again, but you never know when it's your turn to be Cinderella (or close to it). She also wore a Guinevere Resin Necklace, bracelets from The Left Bank, a bebe Silver Enamel Clutch, and Charles David 'Icon' Sandals. To finish the look, she wore Make Up For Ever's Aqua Rouge in Raspberry and Deborah Lippmann's 'Just Walk Away Renee'.

Jill wore a Rhodes Harbor Gown by Mark & James by Badgley Mischka from Rent the Runway - the perfect service for this event. She finished things off with her Love Moschino clutch, Michael Kors heels, Swarovski earrings, vintage jewels, while Essie's Watermelon, 'A Cut Above', and a red lip courtesy of Make Up For Ever, were the perfect pops of color.

After sipping champagne and checking out the silent auctions, we were greeted by the king of the Lincoln Park Zoo, Sahar.

Inside the tent was beautifully decorated with hints of animal prints throughout.

And the big surprise of the night was a performance by KC and the Sunshine Band!

And we just might have jammed out to Call Me, Maybe (we totally did).

Time to start saving up for next year's ticket!
