I don’t own very many but I do love gowns. You need to go somewhere really nice to wear a gown but it always feels nice to prance around in one. I think when us women put a gown on, we kind of feel like a Princess for a day. At the moment, I love the Halston Heritage Convertible “Sharon” Gown. It’s pink, pretty and on sale!
What I love most about the “Sharon” Gown is that it’s so simple. It literally looks like someone took a bed sheet, wrapped it around the model’s body and called it a gown. The color is stunning and makes it the perfect gown to wear for a Spring event. I would personally finish this gown off with minimal jewelry and a gorgeous pair of nude heels. The most jewelry I would probably wear is a pair of earrings and a bracelet but nothing to flashy. Even though the dress is simple it still has a lot going on with it that it doesn’t need a lot of accessories. The sash alone steals the show!

So about that wedge trend I mentioned the other day. If you love this trend, but can’t imagine spending over a few hundred for a pair of (but yes, stunning) pair by Donna Karan, then check out what Charlotte Russe has to offer.
Charlotte Russe’s deal of the week – buy one pair and get the second for $15! Yes, you heard me correctly, $15!
My picks:
Knotted Strappy Wedge Sandals (left)
Strappy Lizard Wedge Sandal (right)
Each pair retails for $35… however for a limited time, when you pay full price for one, the other will be automatically reduced to $15 at checkout. Pretty sweet huh?
Keep in mind, this deal is for MOST shoes at Charlotte Russe, not just wedges, but sandals, flats, pumps, booties, and evening wears as well.

Get your schedule out and jot this down, because you’re not going to wanna miss out on this event happening tomorrow over at online sample sale site RueLaLa.
