Get The Look: Kaley Cuoco     Kaley Cuoco, from The Big Bang Theory, was at the Genesis Awards wearing a dress from ASOS and Miu Miu glitter booties.   I think those shoes are too clunky with that dress, so for an alternative, I think these other Miu Miu heels compliment this outfit a lot better.  Also, try pairing it with some big studs to dress it up more.   **update: the dress is sold out in black, but it is also very pretty in green….and it’s possible it might come back in stock or you might be able to find the dress on ebay**   ASOS reversible dress, $56Miu Miu platform sandals, $730Stila lip makeup, $22

What To Wear To A Luncheon   You usually get invited or go to luncheons because it’s business related, a conference, or an event, possibly a fashion event.    If it’s strictly business, stick to suits.   Conference, it’s still more business, but you can play up the fashion more (ex. the 5th look but take away the hat, which I realized looks like something from Blair Waldorf’s closet) An event, especially if its fashion, you can go all out.  Somewhat like day cocktail wear.  During the day, you want to wear neutrals, lighter colors or bold ones.  Basically anything that isn’t too harsh, (i.e. black) unless it’s an accessory or shoes.  Or if you don’t want to wear colors, wear a colored accessory.  You can also play with hats too!….but don’t get too crazy, its not the Kentucky Derby.   Here are some looks that I put together to give you an idea of what to wear when you have to go to one.  Enjoy! :)   DressPleated dress, £18Slimming dress, £95Dorothy Perkins peplum dress, $35HUGO button down collar shirt, $215Balmain sleeveless blouse, £979Calvin Klein Collection blazer, $950Rag bone tuxedo jacket, £329Tapered pants, $70NW3 by Hobbs wool pencil skirt, £99Calvin klein pumps, $109Sergio Rossi heeled sandalsManolo Blahnik high heel shoes, $349Zara shoes, $70Nicholas Kirkwood high heel pumps, $698Vintage gold earrings, $650Zoe diamond jewelry, $11,950Janis By Janis Savitt clear earrings, $75Miss Sixty paper hat, $59Precis Petite feather hair accessory, £49Giambattista Valli wide belt, £75ASOS star belt, $5.45
