The Bachelor's Kacie B: Episode 1

My friends and I have many guilty pleasures- ABC's The Bachelor being one of them.  You could understand our excitement when we found out that one of our own had been chosen for the show!  We all got together at one of our favorite spots in downtown Knoxville this past Monday to watch Kacie B's bachelor debut.  Twitter was buzzing about the cute TN native and her adorable sequin dress.  Since her look was such a hit (even former bachelorette Jillian Harris tweeted about it!) I wanted to show you how to get the look.  The best part is each one of these dresses is less than $110!

Black Strapless Dress on sale for $82.00 / Glam Ebony Studs /  Gold Sequin One Shoulder Dress on sale for $106.00 / Pear Cut Studs /

Sequin Dress with Cap Sleeves on sale for $99.00 (originally $250!) /
 Swarovski Crystal Disc Earrings

I also wanted to share some pictures from the premiere party this week!  We had a blast and we could not be more proud of Kacie! 

Hope you have a great weekend!  Be sure to watch ABC's The Bachelor on Monday to see more of Kacie Boguskie! We can't wait!
