What I’ve Worn Lately: outfits from my Beautycounter D.C. trip!

Today I’m sharing all the outfits that I wore on my D.C. trip, including my “cocktail red carpet ready” dress and the “cocktail black and white chic” dress – ha! (More on that below.) I got a LOT of questions on Instagram when I posted pics in my stories during that trip, and I think I got back to everyone with answers, but apologies if I missed your message! As a reminder for those who love the fashion posts, I share outfits on Instagram throughout the week, so follow along there to see what I’m wearing more often than it appears on the blog.

Recent outfits + What I wore to the D.C. Beautycounter weekend

I get a LOT about this shirt every time I wear it, and it’s about 5 years old from Nordstrom Rack! I linked a very similar one below. And these heels are by far my most comfortable and they’re back in stock in all sizes! I got them last year and they sold out almost immediately. Get them while they’re back!!

It was MUCH colder in D.C. than I expected so I was really glad I packed a coat!

This is another top that I get lots of questions about and unfortunately it’s also sold out!

This blazer is by far one of the best purchases I made in the past few months. I’ve wanted a camel colored blazer for years, and I finally splurged and got this one from J.Crew. It fits like a dream and the color goes with everything, year round. I instantly feel polished when I put it on.

The Beautycounter invitations had pretty funny dress code descriptions. For Sunday night, the dress code was “cocktail red carpet ready.” I had NO idea what that meant, so I went for a cocktail dress that was a bit fancier than what I would wear for date night. I felt comfortable, but I also could have gone much dressier with this crowd! Lots of women wore full-length gowns which would have been really fun! 🙂

For the Monday night event, the dress code was Cocktail Black & White Chic. That was a little easier to figure out! My coworker found this dress on Rent the Runway, and I’m so happy she sent it to me because I NEVER would have considered it. The dress on the model actually looked terrible, but it looked amazing on real-life people. (I love that Rent the Runway has real-life pictures!) I was comfortable and it was a really fun dress to wear.

The day after I got home, I was EXHAUSTED. The trip was non-stop and I had wine three nights in a row which is really rare for me. But, I put on the bright red lipstick that they had given to all of us and magically, it distracted from how tired I was. 😉 I can’t believe how much I love this lipstick. It’s a gorgeous shade of red and it looked amazing on literally every person I saw wearing it in D.C., all skin tones, hair colors, everything. It’s not drying, doesn’t smudge and stays on even after eating and drinking. I just touched it up a few times throughout the day for a more intense look. I highly recommend it!
