What I Wore: Black {& White} Swan

Those of you who follow me on Instagram probably remember me posting a photo in this dress when I was at NYFW last month, and I also wore it to a charity date auction I participated in a few weeks ago. It's by Parker whose embellished designs I absolutely love but can't typically afford - I got lucky with this dress because I found it at Nordstrom Rack marked down from $400 to just $100! I think it's the perfect cocktail dress because it's unique, comfortable and can be easily accessorized in multiple ways. Worn with my hot pink sandals and feathered clutch, it kind of reminds me of a swan, so I shot these photos in front of the Swan Boats in the public garden! :)
