WNBA Draft: Best Dressed

If you did not know, last night was the WNBA draft. Aired on ESPN, it is a chance for some of the best talent in women's basketball to shine both on the talent but also 
the fashion front. 
There were only 12 ladies invited to the draft and they all came dressed to impress. 

Here is a photo of all the ladies: 

They all look so bright and colorful, perfect for spring! The ladies also did a wonderful job of dressing for the occasion in more conservative ensembles. Bravo. 

Here are my three favorite looks of the night: 

Markeisha Gatling

The print of her dress is just busy enough and the overall look is extremely professional! 
I absolutely love her pop of color with the coral blazer and her up-do is the perfect hairdo to complement the outfit.

Natalie Achonwa

This dress fits her perfectly and looks fantastic with her dark curly locks. I love the black belt matches here darling black flats (refer to photo above for shoes). She is not wearing heels because she suffered an ACL tear only two weeks ago. You can't even tell she is injured because she looks absolutely flawless. 
If you want the dress for yourself you can find it at Bealls for only $40!
Stylish and a steal! Double win!
(Also, how cute would this be for those SMU or Texas Tech ladies??! Adorable!)


Chiney Ogwumike

Not only was she the number one pick, but she is by far the number one best dressed. 
She looks B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L in this dress!! It could not fit her any better. The designer should basically hire her pronto to be their model it because that is what she looks like!
 The coral color is perfect against her skin tone and the length is just right. I LOVE how the lace comes below the hemline of the dress adding just a little sass while still keeping it classy. She paired it perfectly with a low nude heel (check photo above) giving it just the right all around look. 
This look is definitely an A+++++!!!!

I really wish I could have found this dress online because I want it. I might tweet at her later today and ask her where it's from.

Extra: Nneka Ogwumike (Chiney's sister) 

Nneka is on the right in this photo. Her springtime dress is also perfect for the occasion. She did such a wonderful job of also looking fabulous but wearing less bright colors as to not oversine her sister. 
The black strappy heels and bright pink lips are the perfect accessories! 
These sisters definitely know their spring fashion.
 Is that something they teach at Stanford? 

Isn't the pink lip color on Nneka perfect? 
You can also see a nice closeup of the flowers on both their dresses.

   That wraps up my favorite styles form the WNBA Draft 2014! Congrats to all the ladies on their accomplishments and especially Baylor's Odyssey Sims  for going #2 in the draft. it is so cool going to a school that has such an accomplished female athlete!

Check back later for some awesome gameday looks I've found in the past few days. There are some goodies I can't wait to share. 

Also, I've added looks from H&M to the Pinterest boards. They're looking good! 

Happy Tailgating!
