OUTFIT INSPO: QUEEN PALM
During our recent Ala Von Auersberg trunk show, I fell in love with this Kathe Dress in Queen Palm. So effortless and chic and the softest most breathable cotton – perfect for entertaining or being entertained! We loved this dress so much, we were inspired to pair it with entertaining tableware and party details. An elegant tablescape for a dinner party, a summer fun bbq party, or a girl’s night paired with a delicious summer salad. If this dress is calling your name, be sure to let me know ASAP as she is selling fast!
Whether you pair it street style with sneakers and black accessories or choose a more neutral island style, you simply couldn’t go wrong!
Love the Look: The Crosby Belt Bag, FR Belt Bag, Daisy Enamel Ring, Emerald Ring, and STRENGTH bracelet.
