Late-Night Beignets Dress

Just when it seems as though we're about to call it a night, my New Orleanian in-laws will casually suggest that we enjoy some square-shaped, deep-fried doughnuts covered in powdered sugar. But here's the question - what's best to wear for such an occasion, during which we happily munch on dessert and drink café au laits in the Big Easy, so that I simultaneously look as charming as a blooming magnolia flower? Why, this floral taupe frock, of course! I'm already envisioning donning this dress, which features a crochet lace shawl collar, a pretty floral print, and a flexible waistband for casual comfort, to our favorite dessert destination. In this dress, plus cream-colored stockings and patent T-straps, I'll look as sweet as a doughy dessert tastes. Best of all, the ivory collar is the prime hue for what will inevitably become a gloriously powdery mess - such is the way of superb style when combined with tasty treats! -Meggy, Fashion Writer
