If you're looking for a party with the most stylish Kansas Citians, Bubbly + Bowties is it.

This year's KC Fashion week kickoff soiree took place at r24 studios, a lavishly furnished space where custom furniture, lighting, and artwork is created.

As Bubbly + Bowties is a black tie event, I couldn't wait to start shopping for the perfect gown 

to wear to this fabulous party. I ended up going with this gorgeous ASOS pleated capelet gown in the color "Mink" which is a really dreamy dusty rose gold color. The fabric is incredibly silky with a unique cape that flows over the shoulders beautifully and has a skirt that cascades to the ground. 

Tay, Corey, and I trekked into the woods to get some gorgeous shots of our looks before the event.

I accessorized the look with pearl + metallic chain tassel earrings from Forever 21, an ivory clutch with patterned stitch details, and black open toed heels from H&M (similar here). 

I wore my favorite Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick in "Give me Mocha" 

and it coordinated beautifully with the gown!
