Style Watch: The White Party

Where: The Long Center

When: Friday, May 27, 2011

It's hard to stand out in the crowd when you and everyone else are forced to wear the same color.  So for the Lifework's White Party, it's all about the accessories and the pop of color.  The most popular pop of color at the White Party this year was definitely blue.  Gold, turquoise, green, and yellow were some of the runners up for most popular accent color.

My friend and fashion designer made me a custom designed dress for the White Party, but unfortunately the measurements that I gave her were quite off (I blame the girl who measured me for a bridesmaid dress I am wearing in a wedding in September, because those were the measurements I gave my friend).  The dress she made me was way cuter than the backup dress I had to end up wearing, so I was pretty bummed.  But I at least got to show off my awesome gold stilettos I got from Betsey Johnson.

Check out what everyone was wearing at the White Party:

Upcoming Event: The White Party

On May 27th Austin's A-listers will be decked out in all white at one of the most anticipated parties of the year.  All the proceeds from the White Party go to the non-profit organization, LifeWorks, which works to transition children and families from crisis to safety and success.  LifeWorks helps over 10,000 families each year by operating 17 programs spanning housing, counseling, and youth development.

This year the White Party will have Grey Goose cocktails, food from some of Austin's best restaurants, and music by DJ Johnny Bravvo.  But, what I'm most excited about is being there to document all the style.  And what will I be wearing??  UT graduate, and clothing designer Lauren Perdue is working on making a custom white dress for me as we speak!  Those are her sketches above of possible dress options.  Aren't they amazing? I can't wait to show y'all the result!

• Grey Goose cocktails
• food by Paggi House, Second Bar + Kitchen, Bess Bistro, Max’s Wine Dive, Ranch 616 and more
