I can be real with you all, right? I’ve never cared about the Oscars for “The Oscars.” I’ve only cared to see all the gorgeous outfits! So when Sarah from Indy Dressed approached me to share some Oscar-worthy looks in collaboration with The Gifted Gown, I was totally game to get my fancy-pants on. Err, fancy dress, I mean!
The Gifted Gown is an amazing non-profit in Indianapolis where girls can come in and get a fancy dress and accessories- no questions asked. They have many drop off locations throughout the city, and if you know a teen who needs something for prom but can’t afford it, or even a bride needing something for her big day, make sure to tell them about The Gifted Gown! Be sure to check out their website, Facebook, and Instagram for more information or to follow along for support! Click here to see how you can volunteer!
The photos for this shoot were kindly donated by one of my absolute favorite photographers, Kaylee Creighton Photography. She is a bright, young, motivated lady who is all about promoting community and giving back. Thanks for the sweet snaps (yet again,) Kaylee!
These DELICIOUS treats were done by French Macarons by Kelly. HOLY WOW. I mean, have you ever wanted to bite the head off an Oscar so badly?! I have the BEST boomerang of doing this, so head over to my Instagram to see it. It will be saved as a highlight, because it’s too good to not have available all the time.
I had a great time with my Indy blogger friends from the Indy Blog Society as well. Be sure to check out all their pages and follow along with them as well! They are total babes, boss ladies, and they produce great content!

Again, check out The Gifted Gown, and if you have some old dresses laying around, consider donating! I am especially calling out to all you plus sized ladies. You KNOW how difficult it can be as a bigger girl trying to find something on a budget. Imagine walking in and not being able to find something that fits! I know I am going to get my old dresses out and send them in to be re-used!
What an amazing cause! I know so many girls with dresses that are picking up dust in their closets and now I can share this place with them. Thanks for sharing and you all look fabulous!
Such a great organization! All those dresses were so lovely!
You girls look gorgeous! I think what the Gifted Gown does is great. I have some gowns I need to donate.
