Summer Party

Lat weekend I got invited to the party at my friends house. I knew the party would start around 5 PM and will probably continue till midnight.  It is always a very fun crowd and I love those parties but of course, I always have a slight dilemma what to wear.  I knew that most guests (especially the women) will be dressed up but not in full party attire, so no cocktail dresses but no jeans either.

I wanted to wear something that would be a little festive but also I wanted to be comfortable. I did not want to wear black since the party started early and it was going to be hot.  I went through a few options and some seemed too dressy and some too casual but eventually I decided to wear this:


I am not sure were this tank is from since I got it as gift from my daughter couple of years ago but I think it was from Urban Outfitters. I like that it has some sparkle but it is not sequins.  I also like that it is blue, not black because the muted shade tones it down even more.
 

I have to admit that the key to wearing this type of top is finding a right strapless bra.  Most strapless bras are push ups and I hate them, but I love this unlined bra from Soma.  It stays in place has no weird gaping in front, does not squish my girls into an 'uni-boob', does not sit too low and has a very natural look under tanks.


My pants are from J.Crew, they are Maddie linen trousers from two years ago.  My clutch is from Banana Republic and my pewter sandals are from  Sofft.


I think the racer back is what ultimately makes this top party appropriate. Of course it is also great in the very hot weather we have been having recently. 


I  brought my denim jacket, just in case it would get a little colder at night but it was never necessary.  I was happy with my outfit, it was perfect for the occasion and I was very comfortable.

That's all folks!

What is your ultimate summer party attire when you don't want to be over or under-dressed?  Do you even have that dilemma?

Do you have a favorite strapless bra?

Please share, it would be no fun without you!!!
