Garden Party – Bell Sleeve Top

White lace bell sleeve top and blush pleated skirt-3This past weekend the long-time pastor at the church I grew up at came back to preach for the Sunday service. Nowadays, it doesn’t seem like nearly as many people get dressed up for church. But, I always like to make it a special occasion and put on my Sunday best. I wore this adorable lace bell sleeve top and my pleated blush skirt with my absolute favorite nude ankle strap sandals.

Bell sleeves are back in a BIG way and they’re bringing a totally retro garden party vibe to Spring. This bell sleeve top from Zara sold out fast, but they’ve already listed another similar version here that I love. It’s less sheer than the one I have, which is nice because you don’t have to wear a nude came underneath like I did. This gorgeous bell sleeve dress is also stunning and has a very bohemian vibe that you could take with you to Coachella!

My bag in this look is an amazing Chloe dupe for the Drew bag that I got at Forever21 previously. Budget-friendly retailers are an easy way to try a trendy look without forking over all the money for the real deal. Right now, Forever21 has this great bag that’s a dupe of a similar Celine style.

I’ve got a crush on sunnies with a gorgeous rose hue for Spring. Mine are from the year before last by Bobbi Brown (and still available in a few different colors), and I’m eyeing these Illesteva beauties now. It almost seems meant to be – they’re named after Palm Beach!

It’s been a few months now that I’ve had my eye on a few products from Charlotte Tilbury (last mentioned here) and I recently scooped up a few items that I have to gush about here. I purchased the matte lipstick in Very Victoria and the Cheek to Chic blush in First Love. The packaging on these products is stunning and the formula for both is so flattering. I’m already picking out the next colors I want from the collections.

I hope you dolls are enjoying your weekend and this look inspires you for your next night out!  Be sure to follow me on Snapchat @AGlamLifestyle and on Pinterest to see all my outfit inspiration!
