In less than one week I'll be attending the Americana Music Awards in Nashville - eek! As excited as I should be, I can't fully get there until I find a dress. Thank God attire is casual chic. There's no way I could have competed with amazing couture gowns. Therefore, my checking account will thank me if I can pull off a reasonably priced dress.
I figured I'd head to Forever 21 because it's close to my apartment and I can get in and out in less than an hour and avoid parking fees. The worst thing about living in LA is having to pay to park everywhere. Call me cheap, but I hate paying $3 for an hour of shopping on top of my purchases. Anyways...
It's probably going to be cold so I need to find a dress than I can wear a blazer or cute cardigan with. That may be the tricky part...Here are a few of my favorites from the F21 site. What do you think?
$27.80
$24.80
$24.80
Opinions please. Yay or nay? Any suggestions of where I can find a dress? My other option is H&M but the closet location to me is on the Sunset Strip and it's a pain to get to.

Love the pink one! Would look great with a cropped black blazer!
ReplyDeleteFun!! :)
The blush dress with the black belt is so pretty. I also like the tiered dress. It seems so simple and like it would be pretty flattering. Forever 21 is always a good place to go on the cheap. I hope you find something fabulous!
ReplyDeletePlease let us know what you decide on :)

Omg, and you're a leo? Umm, we're totally bff's instantly :)
Cute! I'd have to say the pink & lace ones are my favorites. Good luck picking one out.
ReplyDeletei love the pink or tier one!! And i HATED having to pay for parking everywhere in LA. HATED it. and so many times I got lost in the parking garages. (like for over an hour) definitely don't miss that! haha good luck on the dress hunt! H&M is definitely good for cheap but cute dresses, I would say just go to a different location in LA like the beverly center!
ReplyDeleteyoure going to the AMAs?! ummm jealous. i think that black lace dress (#3) is gorg!
ReplyDeleteI loves the first one!
ReplyDeletelove the pink one with the black belt. Simple and fun. Have such a great time at the AMAs! That will be such a cool experience!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely 1 or 2 for Nashville in October... and be sure to bring a jacket! It is chilly at night these days. :( You are going to love Nashville!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, actually -- I think the pink one would be easiest to mix with a blazer.

Love the black lace dress! It's soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe first two are my favorite, but I'm leaning towards the pink.
ReplyDeleteLove the breast cancer awareness one! I feel like the little color would be good for Nashville.
ReplyDeletePaying to park in LA is SOOO annoying. I cannot understand it. Whenever we went to Beverly Hills it was like $20 for parking for the afternoon
That breast cancer awareness dress is TOO cute. I have to get it! Thanks for sharing! xox
ReplyDeletei am so not a lace person because it reminds me of doilies and grandmas, but the third dress in black lace is looking pretty schnazy!
ReplyDeleteI like the black lace one.
ReplyDeleteI really, really love the pink dress, but maybe not for this type of event, at night, in autumn. The black lace one is really great too! Finding the perfect outfit is always so stressful for me! I'm sure you will look fabulous whatever you wear.
ReplyDeleteIf you get the pink one you can pair it with a black blazer and a sexy pair of sky high heels. That would be my pick. :)
ReplyDeletei love the black lace! very evening and award show-y! that's so exciting! you'll be on my side of the country! i've been mia for awhile, working on life, but it's good to catch up on your blog! ttys! have fun!
