    Mussels in White Wine

    Sequin long dress

    I had such a fun time attending Shen Yun this year! I’ve been twice before and each time is just as beautiful! Watching the dancers on stage in their beautiful costumes, listening to the orchestra play live music, and learning about China’s history were all such a treat.

    Pleated skirt style

    Pleated skirt is definitely in this season and I made sure I got one in my closet. It’s such a classy skirt to wear! I love the length of this one because it’s not too long and not too short. And of course, I had to pair it with my new fave faux fur jacket and my fave pair of clear heels. Unfortunately, I bought these shoes a while ago so they aren’t on sale anymore but I found a very similar one for a great price! As always, don’t forget to use my code CLETHATS15 for an addition discount on your whole order on Shein.
