In my defense, this is a dress. You just can’t tell from the straight up front when the high-low hem isn’t visible, and then it just looks like I left the house and forgot my pants. (Especially when you’re standing next to a couple dudes in jeans and a bunch of your blogger pals wearing legit-length outfits.) Yeah, whatever. Y’all know I needed to show up in something at least a little ridiculous for KCFW, right?
This suede number was too good to pass up: gorgeous camel color, some nice slouch to combat that it was pretty damn short in the front, and heavy enough that it hung really nicely + didn’t wrinkle a bit (despite being packed with my other bloggers in arms like fashionable sardines on the front row). The best bit? The dress is from H&M and was $60. Sold! Easy dressing from there on out: berry block-heel pumps (also H&M!), some lovely Pandora studs, and a killer marble-esque necklace from my good friends at Kendra Scott.

Kansas City Fashion Week: Saturday Night at Union Station
The last night of KCFW for spring + summer 2016 did not disappoint. From ladylike prints + structure at Heidi Herrman to inspired and downright sexy designs at Lucia’s Sarto, I found myself ooh-ing and ahh-ing more often than not. The closer for Saturday night? Alicia Janesko, in collaboration with her sister, Jennifer (of Janesko and maker of the lovely bar pendant you’ve seen me in here and here), put on a fantastic show with some of the most beautiful + decadent caftans I’ve ever seen.
Kansas City Fashion Week was a ton of fun. I’m so happy I got to attend the incredible shows this year; there was so much talent to be inspired by. Thanks to the KCFW team for having me as an ambassador, and congrats on another successful season!
Psst, if you saw this Instagram post from Friday or at all interested in watching me talk fashion for 3 minutes, I did another segment with the lovely folks at Better Kansas City last week. You can watch it below. I didn’t pass out and/or curse on live TV, so I consider it a personal win. 😉
Loving that KS necklace! Suede is so great for fall, I need to hunt down a cute suede piece myself! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
This faux suede is reallyyyyy good- and friendly on the ol’ wallet, too. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, lady!
I think it totally makes a statement (especially with those killer shoes) – and it is a really cute dress. I totally see “dress” not “girl forgets pants” when I see this!

Haha, glad someone does! 😉 And I am seriously going to be living in those shoes all fall + winter!
love the suede and oxblood pumps!

Really loving how it’s a little longer in the back – and who doesn’t love suede!? The little braid is so cute too! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
The fact is was longer in the back made it wearable- at least without leggings, haha. 🙂 Thanks, lady!
Girl… I told you that night, and I’ll tell ya again: if I had your legs, I’d forget my pants ALL the time!!! Love this, love you 🙂

Great dress! Can you ever go wrong with something from H&M? I think not. Love the color combination with the burgundy heels.

H&M is absolutely killing it right now- I have picked up so many great fall pieces from them recently! Thanks, lady!
That shirt dress is gorgeous! I love the texture and the pop of color with the heels.

You really are rocking that dress and I love the caramel color to it and it is totally sexy, too! Perfect for the evening! Those red heels look terrific with it, too and that braid in your hair is so cute, I need to try one in my hair ASAP.

This made me laugh! Isn’t it funny how things can look shorter depending on who you stand beside? This is a short dress, but you’re rocking it! Love those wine coloured heels.

It totally makes a difference, right?! I swear it didn’t seem so short until I got in that photo, haha. 🙂 Thanks for swinging by, girlfriend!
Show of those killer legs! That dress is adorable on you!
