Outfit: Save The Date

Boden recently challenged me (and a few other bloggers) to style some going-out looks. Appropriately I feel as if I have never had more occasion to "go out" than now. We're only just back from our honeymoon and we have a wedding to attend this week. Of course, the week before last was a mad-rush of rehearsals, big family dinners, a girls night out (a tame hen/bachelorette party that ended with a walk through the park!), etc. At this point I'm quite ready to stay in! But dressing for going out is always fun. For this look I wanted a mix of casual and dressy, retro and modern. I couldn't resist doing victory rolls again, but didn't want to look straight out of the 50s. A patterend scarf works wonderfully in the summer as a cozy layer for brisk evenings and color-blocked heels will go with so many outfits--these are probably the two pieces from the outfit that will get the most wear this summer.
