This year marked the 8th edition of Le Dîner en Blanc – the elegant and secret affair that is one of the most anticipated social events of the year. On Thursday, August 8, 2019, Le Dîner en Blanc took place Daley Plaza in the city of Chicago allowing more than 3,500 guests to enjoy the food and wine scene of the Windy City.

Each summer in more than 80 cities around the world, thousands of people dressed entirely in white descend on a landmark public space with everything they need for an elegant soirée in tow, including folding table and chairs, gourmet picnic food, fine china, silverware and a tablecloth. Over the course of the evening, the guests eat and celebrate amid live music and dancing, many of them spending weeks in advance planning their lavish menus and striking ensembles. The event offers attendees the perfect occasion to express their unique fashion and design style; the often elaborate and creative outfits, fantastical hats and decorative table settings are always a fabulous spectacle.

I loved the idea and was honored to be invited by a fellow blogger friend to experience this event. I chose to wear this dainty white lace dress from For Love and Lemons.

It was so comfy and showed the right amount of skin. Don’t worry it’s completely lined, so you aren’t exposed as much as it looks ;) Click here for dress details
