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

by scoop team | January 25, 2020

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.

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.
