The Fashion Show 2016 has arrived, as the event is scheduled to kick off Saturday. When it comes to fun and fancy events, acquiring the perfect outfit tends to cause some stress.

One has to consider when to begin getting ready, what to wear and what to bring; usually resulting in a few breakdowns. Thankfully, you have a couple people looking out for you, here to provide some tips on what to wear and what to bring in order to kill it the night of the show.

The ’20s inspired theme “The Roaring Revival” will give you the opportunity to channel your inner Daisy Buchanan. This is the perfect time to break out your favorite vintage dresses and pearls.

The jumpsuit

The jumpsuit is currently trending, and The Fashion Show is the perfect opportunity for you to test it out. If you are feeling a more casual night, but don’t want to look underdressed, this is the piece for you. Accessorize and break out those heels to dress up your jumpsuit!

Pearls, pearls, pearls

Of course when you think ’20s, pearls come to mind. This is your night. Grab those pearls and flaunt them. Accessories are key, especially when reminiscing back to such an extravagant time period. Pearls can be easy to work with, allowing one to go all out, or keep things simplistic.

Little black dress

The little black dress is the perfect go-to for any event. Pick out your favorite dress and pair it with those fancy pearls, high heels or some simple flats. If you are worried about looking too plain, don’t be.

If you are putting that much effort into getting ready, it is necessary to be prepared for the worst. Before you leave for The Fashion Show 2016, remember to put together your fashion emergency kit. 

The clutch

If you are headed to an event, be prepared for anything. Your clutch will not only make you look super stylish but it will also double as an emergency kit. Putting together the kit doesn’t have to be stressful; staple items are all you need. Don’t forget lip stick, fashion tape, Band-Aids, gum and a charger. What else could a girl possibly need? Keeping your clutch light and simple keeps you from focusing on what is inside and instead allows you to have fun with your girls at the show!
