Before I continue with my Chicago content, I want to take a moment to tell you about The Carolina Fashion Awards I attended last Saturday!
It was my first time, and I went with a friend of mine, Nira of Nira Loves Fashion Boutique, who was nominated for boutique of the year. It was a good time! Everyone looked so stunning all dressed up! The theme this year was 'Give Us Space' and it is always interesting to me to see how everyone interprets themes.
There were a lot of sculptural embellished gowns, a lot of sequins and metallics. Funky sunglasses! Head pieces! My girl, Nira, arrived with two models- Mary and Chanell- and they were DECKED OUT! Oversized, silver boots, headpieces, chain fringe, and spiked sunglasses! They all looked phenomenal!

This was my look! It was very much a last minuet look!
I was not sure almost up until the day of, if I would be going or not. My original look was metallic pink trousers, with a sheer black body suit. I had to drop it off at my tailor before Chicago, and when I went to pick it up Friday morning, they were not quite ready. So, I had to decide on a back-up.
Thankfully, this idea had occurred to me. I loved how the dress, heels, and jacket paired together. I knew I wanted to pair the chain belt with it too. But when I put it on, it... lacked a bit. On a whim, I paired the pearl belt with it too. It was exactly what the look needed! A little extra texture and interest, but still dainty enough to not be overkill!

The whole night was a great time! I saw several familiar faces, met some new friends, celebrated everyone's wins!
Guys, Nira won in her category! The whole room erupted with applause and cheers when her name was called out! Chanell, one of the models, also won big! Model of the year! It was such a joyful night!
Thanks for reading! And congratulations to all of the winners! It was well deserved!
