Weekly Wears: Little Black Dress

Dress: Mink Pink, c/o Lulu's;  Shoes: Shelly's, c/o ModCloth;  Shorts: Marshall's;  Barrettes: c/o Sea of Bees

The little black dress: every girl needs one, most girls have one... well, I actually didn't before now.  This is what I wore to the opera house last weekend.  It was a weird situation-- I was going to an opera house, but I wasn't going to the opera, and I had no idea what to wear.  Of course I was over-thinking it, but I'm guessing that many of you can probably relate.  I ended up choosing this dress because it can be dressed up or down, it's black (which I figured was safe), and really, I just like it a lot.  It is a bit on the shorter side, so I threw some shorts underneath just in case there were any balconies or stairs in my night's future.  I knew the best/final touch would be these Sea of Bees hair pins.  I love anything by Sea of Bees and I was ecstatic to wear these lovelies. 

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I was pretty appropriately dressed.  Most gals I noticed were wearing dressy/casual dresses and the guys were mostly in collared shirts or button-ups.  Even if I would've been wearing ratty old cut-offs in a sea of tuxedos, though, I'm certain I still would have had a blast. 

I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!
