I didn't want to buy anything, if at all possible, since all our extra money is going towards our Big Fat Danish/American Wedding. It also goes without saying that clothing items appropriate for Vegas have almost no relevance to my daily life.
So, what to wear to the nightclubs? The birthday boy's plan is to go to Tryst, XS, and PURE (um, eye roll at those names), so I need three club-appropriate outfits. I have two little black dresses that I have worn to holiday parties that I think could work, and a white ruffly cocktail dress:
I'll bring various and sundry party tops I've collected over the years, in case I want to be a little more casual. Some of these could also work for daywear. I will mix/match these tops with either my black Minnies or white capris:
At least I'm set in the pool gear department:
The sun hat is from J.Crew, sunglasses are my trusty old Dolce&Gabannas, a BCBG silk tunic I am cleverly using as a coverup (currently on sale for 50% off at Macy's), and a sexeh bandeau bikini that was a B-day pressie from my fiance by Vix. I love the cobra centerpiece. Meow!
Beauty essentials:
Sephora Smoky Eyes kit, sunscreen (of course!) in two forms, and a light fake tanner just in case.
Recap: I got away with purchasing no extras for this trip besides the pool tunic. I consider that to be a success! I will definitely wear this tunic again (with pants) to work, and during our honeymoon.... in Tahiti. :D
Has anyone been to Vegas recently and have wardrobe tips? Did you have any 'unexpected' wardrobe requirements or emergencies?

I have not been to Vegas - buy your dresses are amazing. where are they from?
Cute outfits! Love the swimsuit. I went a few years ago for a bachelorette party and may I suggest, don't wear white to the clubs, particularly PURE. You will be spilled on, repeatedly. It's fun to dance, but all the clubs are crowded, sweated, and at least half the people are drunk! I would wear light, fun, black dresses!!
I was in Vegas last weekend, and went through the same pre-trip clothing dilemmas as you. I was not as successful in shopping my closet, though, so kudos to you! I think you're covered... club wear - check, swim wear - check, and fun casual clothes - check. Have a great time!
I will be out in Vegas this Friday-Sunday! I am not blonde, I have no bewbs, but I did try to find something that was a happy balance between "slut" and "wife". You did an excellent job w/ your digs.
Here's to a fabulous weekend!! :)
Spock, they're all bcbg dresses from seasons past. :)
Emily, thanks for the advice! The white dress stays home then. I forgot about people spilling drinks...
Bri, right there with you!
Thanks ladies!
