TWIRL FACTOR, WUW & FASHION FILES LINK-UP

Remember a couple weeks ago when I told you I was going to a wedding, well the dress from White House Black Market was a huge hit! The twirl factor was spot on and I felt like Mr. Nine and I cleaned up pretty good. Welcome to our weekly Fashion Link-UP and a What's Up Wednesday with Shay, Sheaffer and Mel.

Trying to get a pic of the twirl

There is just something about black-and-white that is so classy and timeless. The shoes were also WHBM and while I was worried about the heel being so skinny, they ended up being extremely comfortable. 

I have loved the flower choker with a little bit of Gothic vibe that I got from eBay for my polkadot dress in Vegas that I just had to get an all black one to go with this dress. I kept the earrings simple, also from White House Black Market but added a little bling with the dress the clutch.
