Recap! Dress for Success Women Wine & Wardrobe Event

April 27, 2018 by Chi@glance

Aon Center

Yesterday was the SOLD OUT 2018 Dress for Success Women Wine & Wardrobe Event! The event was presented by JLL and Baker McKenzie at the newly renovated โ€œClubโ€ on the 44th floor of the AON center. When I say we had views for daysโ€ฆ.I mean it! The Aon Center is such a lovely building to take in the Chicago skyline. Proceeds from this awesome fundraiser benefit the amazing women who utilize Dress For Success professional development programs and services. The organization has served more than 1,000,000 women across the globe since 1997 and more than 70,000 women worldwide receive career coaching, mentoring, and professional development. For more information on the organization go to:ย https://worldwidecentral.dressforsuccess.org/about-us/.

Our keynote speaker for last nights fundraiser was American Master Sommelier, Restaurateur & TV Personalityโ€ฆAlpana Singh. Our Mistress of ceremony for the evening was TV Host of A Better Day with Julie, Julie Hightower. The evening included delicious wine from LBD Wines paired with scrumptious appetizers. During the event successful business women and Chicago Influencers (myself included) walked the runway modeling some of the latest clothing trends from Trunk Club (A Nordstrom’s Company). Check out details for the outfit I wore (and LOVED) below! Perfect for casual Friday!

What I wore – All items from Trunk Club (A Nordstrom’s Company)

Halogen โ€“ Modal Jersey V-Neck Tee – $32.00

Caslon โ€“ Side Slit Cowl Neck Tunic – $69.00 (Sale $41.40)

Spanx โ€“ Faux Leather Leggings – $98.00ย 

Sam Edelman โ€“ Jordy Genuine Calf Hair Flats – $149.95

Zella Perforated Tote Bag –ย $99.00

I have to add this is my first experience using the Trunk Club and it won’t be my last. I actually tried on two different outfits their stylist picked for meย and the clothing fit perfectly. I’m going to need to go back and definitely get these Faux Leather Spanx! I can see myself wearing them all the time.

Iโ€™m back from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ผAND with tips. I got so many DMs t Iโ€™m back from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ผAND with tips. I got so many DMs that you guys are either going to Curacao or interested in visiting. One of my tools when planning trips is watching YouTube videos of the destination and then after I go I pay it forward and add tips of my own. 

For exampleโ€ฆI love a local experience. Iโ€™m always going to hit up the markets or find the authentic cuisine restaurants.

Did you know Queen Emma bridge is closed until the end of September? No worries! Thereโ€™s a FREE ferry that takes you across and runs about every 10 minutes. Go get your souvenirs and a good meal.

Why did I choose Lemon Beach club? Itโ€™s adults only and I wanted to relax on my cabana from 10am - 6pm with no kids around. ๐Ÿ˜…

Why did I choose to rent a car? ๐Ÿš˜ It was very reasonable and well worth it. $322 for 5 days from thrifty car rental at the airport. One shuttle ride from the airport to my hotel would have been $40. No Ubers in Curacao.

These tips and everything I did in 5 days is condensed into a 16 minute YouTube video on the @chiataglance YouTube channel. Are you heading to Curacao or interested in heading there? Save this post to help you plan your next trip. Where am I headed next? ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต
