decorations made by my roommate
Last night was a success. So much so that I'm still feeling the effects of it and will probably go back to sleep as soon as I finish posting this. But I wanted to show you my outfit before this weekend takes over, and I forget all about it. I've got a hike planned, papers to grade, and a lot of research to do, and right now I'm planning on depriving myself of the internet (and reading blogs! :( !) until I get all of my work done. We'll see how that works out. So, here's my birthday dress (or one of them, as I have no self-control).
headband: red, dress: red, tights: target: shoes: old navy
I got it (and the other two) at Red Apparel, which is a clothing store in Long Beach. It's close proximity to Target, which I usually visit once a week, makes it a constant temptation that I obviously don't need. They have a lot of the same stuff as
ModCloth but for usually half the price. It's kind of heaven. Anyway, I tried this dress on, and I immediately knew I wanted to wear it to my birthday party (though I'm not even sure if I had one planned at that point). I love the collar and the way the skirt moves. It would be perfect for dancing if I was into that kind of thing. I got the beaded headband at Red too, and I wore a pair of black flats with pretty cut-outs instead of my normal pair with holes in the heels. They weren't exactly fancy, but I didn't wear shoes for most of the night anyway.
This evening will be much more low key, as I can't handle that much excitement. I have plans to read Faulkner and Carver short stories for class, and a night filled with dreams of this beauty by Rodarte for Target will follow.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this dress since I saw it in December's Glamour. Soon (hopefully!), it will be mine.
