H&M dress, Forever21 necklace, Steve Madden shoes
Last Thursday, I celebrated my Confirmation. For all you non-Catholics out there, Confirmation is the last sacrament of Initiation that brings one closer to God. The service was perfect, held at my old elementary and middle school, and accompanied with music by our awesome liturgical rock band.
This outfit is probably one of my favorites. There's just something about white with its crispness and pureness. In the Catholic church, white is supposed to symbolize a fresh start--that's why it's worn at Baptism, Eucharist, weddings, etc. Call me sentimental, but that's what I feel sometimes when I am wearing a predominantly white outfit (that is, right before I spill something). Paired with a romantic color scheme of a light pink statement necklace, blush bow heels, and a rose colored Louis Vuitton bag, I look my Sunday-best.
My aunt and mom didn't look so bad themselves, outfitted by me of course ;) My aunt is wearing a printed Banana Republic dress with silver Enzo Angolini heels while my mom dons a fashionable approach to the ever-so classic suit. Akris pants with an Armani top and jacket complement each other perfectly with the contrast of a bold color and no color at all.
After the ceremony, my family and I celebrated at The Grill at the Fairmont Hotel where my scrumptious meal started with raw oysters and Lobster Bisque, then a medium rare Filet Oscar, finished with Vanilla Grand Marnier Souffle. I'm a sucker for food! We also surprised my uncle with a birthday celebration, one day late. I'm obsessed with his hair. Who knew that white-grey Elvis/Clinton hair could look so fashionable!!
God bless,
