#NerdProm: My Favorite Missoni Gown
Last week I mentioned that I love any excuse to dress up. Luckily for me, January is packed with black-tie events AKA a great reason to throw on a gown and support a good cause. This past weekend, DJ and I attended Chicago Booth’s Winter Formal, otherwise known as #NerdProm, at the Bridgeport Art Center. This coming weekend, we are attending Snowball. I have gone for the past five years in a row, and love supporting Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
When I was in Milan this Fall, I searched for a unique, transitional dress that could be worn different times in different ways. This classic black and metallic Missoni immediately grabbed my attention and it had to be mine. Unfortunately, the dress is not available in the US but I linked a similar one below. For #NerdProm, I threw an edgy leather jacket over it and kept my hair down. Next week, I am wearing it with my hair up and strappy heels.

Love all the details!!!
That is a really pretty dress. I love the jacket you paired it with.
I wish I could pin this 🙁 I love the outfit so much and the “Blah Blah Blah” purse, I’m going to have to invest in one.
What a gorgeous dress! But I think my favorite is that clutch. How fun. It’s what I’m thinking when people won’t stop talking 😉
Love the look! Especially the dress
Love this look and all the details! 😍
I love the colors. I have to admit that the bag is just great. It made me laugh when I saw it. The only thing I don’t really like is the shoes. Looks like home slippers.
That is one hot dress! The shoes make it fun
It looks great 🙂 I like it. Nice dress 🙂
Its a cute dress and shoes. But I love the blah blah blah purse.
It’s a lovely and very feminine dres. I like your leather jacket as well, it makes your outfit more edgy (in the positive way):)
Nice dress. That purse is so conversational too!
Very eclectic style. You pulled it off together. Well done.It wouldn’t have worked for me
That is a pretty dress.
I LOVE Missoni! I used to work at a fabric store and we sold their textile all the time. So comfy, chic, and fun! You look fab. xx
I love that style, wish I could pull it off. I’m too short for most dresses that length and end up tripping over them all day! You rock it though!
That dress is really beautiful, and I love it with and without the jacket. Totally different looks, too, and I love pieces like that. Versatility is a huge factor for me when I choose clothing for myself AND my daughters.
That dress is gorgeous! I wish it were available in the US, thanks for the alternative though. I love the jacket with the dress because it dresses it down a little and gives it another layer of style.
That’s a lovely gown! It looks so elegant and pretty on you.
Wow! I love the dress, it looks really comfortable as well. I like the pattern and the whole design, it’s definitely something that I’d go for. Perfect for the weather too.
I love the bla bla bla purse very cool, I like the dress also 🙂
That bag is all the love! Totally rocking it. You look fabulous.

Omg I just love your maxi dress, especially the pattern. I recently picked up a leather jacket that I love and so I’m excited to wear it over dresses too.
I love the blah blah blah purse. The gown is so gorgeous. Lols i did not see those shoes coming. I love the look.
I love the look, especially with the leather jacket. I’m going to steal your style.
What a spectacular outfit! Really love those Steve Madden Imelda heels and the dress too! Like how you completed your outfit with a cool leather jacket!
OMG That gown is gorgeous! You look divine 🙂
That is such a gorgeous gown! I also love that you paired it with a leather jacket and that awesome clutch!
You totally kill it with this look! The fluffy shoes are so much fun. And the dress is to die for! You got it going girl!
