W Hotels + CFDA Dallas Showcase

Last week I was invited to the CFDA {Fashion Incubator} hosted by W Hotels. If you're wondering what all that means.... CFDA is the Council of Fashion Designers of America- a not-for-profit trade association whose membership consists of more than 400 of America’s foremost womenswear, menswear, jewelry and accessory designers. CFDA membership is by invitation only. And every year they have awards. It's like the Oscars of fashion. And the Fashion Incubator is a program designed to support up and coming fashion designers.

Everyone was dressed to impress in their finest designer duds. Surprisingly, I was wearing some of my great bargains.

Jacket: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's; Pleather Shorts: Bisou Bisou for JcPenney; Necklace: Sam Moon; Beaded clutch: Vintage (My mother's hand-me down); Shoes: Elizabeth & James (bought at the end of the season last year at Neiman Marcus). Unfortunately, these were all bought a while ago and I don't have links for them. 

Once again, you don't have to spend a ton to wear the trends! 

They showcased the following designers:

Ari Dean

Jonathon Simkhai

Reece Hudson

Timo Weiland

It was such a fun night!

Cheers!
