In “normal” times today would be the #MetGala. It’s a favorite event of mine for so many reasons: the Art, the fashion, the themes, the looks that aren’t translatable to real life, the big swings, and the misses. The first Monday in May is not only an “event”, it’s a great documentary, a grand time, and usually leads to memorable moments. This first Monday is different, and there is nothing I could post that could make it the “same”. However, there is still something about this first Monday that’s special. If you’re following the hashtag #MetGalaChallenge on Instagram, you’ll see so many people recreating looks from past galas (I almost posted my faves here, but didn’t want to post other’s work without permission, but encourage you to search, I’ll be re-posting things I love on IG today!). Here, I’d love to showcase looks I love that might be a bit much, or could be styled to be a bit much. And yes, there is a more than good chance that today I’ll dress up, be extra, and let myself enjoy this first Monday in May. What about you?
Looks that could be used for Met Gala:
This Jacket
Vintage Gowns
Bold Prints
Who can go wrong with a cape?
Sheer with jeans
Fringe
More gowns, I can never resist them!
My favorite show stopper.
I have so many favorite pieces: part dresses, gowns, vintage, and so on. From my child hood I have loved being bold in my choices, and dressing up. The first Monday in May is a time to celebrate that. And while we can’t be together, and the Met Gala isn’t happening, today I’m choosing to love the side of myself that very well may be in a BIG look today. Any of these pieces, mixed, matched, might do! Be sure to follow me on Instagram – @racheladelicia- for #MetGalaChallenge looks. How are you celebrating today?
