Take a Walk on the Wild Side with the Mint Auxiliary on February 8

Every year the Mint Museum Auxiliary hosts some of the hottest tickets in Charlotte, and their Winter Party is certainly one. It’s a themed party, and dressing up for it is half the fun, especially when the theme is jungle / safari and we can all wear our favorite animal prints.

This year’s party is on Saturday, February 8 at the QC’s newest, elegant event space in South End, THE COLLECTOR’S ROOM. Tickets are $125 each with a portion tax deductible. The entertainment is always great, the drinks and food plenty. If you’ve been thinking of joining the Auxiliary, this party is a great intro into how they raise funds for the museum. Pro Tip ~ grab another couple and go together. Big parties like this are always more fun with friends.

The critical question is, of course, What to Wear.

Our picks below.

FOR YOU

Indulge all your animal print dreams! Spurge a little, this outfit will be a classic in your closet forevermore.

ADAM LIPPES SATIN CREPE WIDE LEG PANTS $345 (was $1190) and TOP

FOR HIM

We’re gonna say go Safari for him. Unless he really likes costuming, a simple safari jacket will do. A neck scarf / cravat seems to be the go to accessory…and you can always count on Amazon for cheap thrills.
