November’s edition of What to Wear features the staff of Memphis Botanic Garden at their beautiful facility, where fabulous fall colors, fountains and greenery perfectly framed these fall looks.

Taste of Hope is the American Cancer Society’s signature culinary, wine and spirits event, featuring some of Memphis’s most popular restaurants and beverage vendors. Guests can enjoy a walkabout, tasting signature bites and sips, while also enjoying an exciting silent auction and other entertainment. Celebrate the evening at The Children’s Museum while supporting a great cause.
What to wear: This event is slightly more laid-back than little black dress attire. Let’s call it creative cocktail. We would recommend a dress with a pair of wedges or booties, and maybe even some statement jewelry.
