A Diva State of Mind

This morning, I along with four other DC fashion bloggers, had the opportunity to model Inauguration gowns on WUSA9 News for their segment on Inauguration Fashions.   We showed off gowns from Carine’s Bridal Atelier and accessories from Bishop Boutique. It was an extremely early morning (we met at 4am), but I had a great time dressing up and being a model for the day with other local bloggers.

Special thanks to Whitney Stringer for the opportunity!

Next weekend will be packed with happy hours, special events and inaugural balls. Ladies, that means you’ll need a fabulous floor length gown for the evening festivities. Last week someone inquired on Twitter where they could find gowns. There are a number of boutiques and major retailers that offer fabulous gowns and Nordstrom is one of them.

Available at www.nordstrom.com

If you’re still searching for the perfect gown for Inauguration weekend, check out my picks from Nordstrom.  The gowns I selected are great figure flattering options all under $300.  This is only a select few of the gowns available on the website; there are a pleathora of options available on the website for misses, plus and petite at various price points.
