Look #2: The Girl’s Night Out Outfit
I was really into all of the leather + lace ensembles that they had modeled around the store and so I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try on this little number for a Girl’s Night Out look.
Turns out, my husband would prefer this to be a Date Night In outfit. He was all, “Did you come home with that pleather skirt?” I didn’t because I wasn’t sure if it would be practical but I think I might swing back by to pick it up. It was under $20 and I loved the eyelet cut-out on it. Then I’ll make him take me somewhere fancy, like Sonic. This whole look was less than $50 so we could splurge on some slushes.
I wasn’t totally sure about the top. On one hand, I really loved it. On the other hand, I sort of wondered if it was reminiscent of the Puffy Shirt episode on Seinfeld. I asked the fitting room girls their opinion but as it so happens, they are all apparently too young to be familiar with Seinfeld. I was like, “Ohmigosh you don’t know about the puffy shirt episode of Seinfeld. Okay, so basically what I am saying here is that I am thirty and does this shirt make me look like a pirate?” They all voted that it was a non-piratey shirt but they don’t watch Seinfeld so I’m not sure if they can be trusted. I did love the back of the shirt though. And they DID get my Justin Timberlake reference so I’m not THAT old.
(Also, sorry for the bit of blurriness. They were serving free champagne and my photographer coughcoughmymothercough was really enjoying that. Maybe next time I don’t let her imbibe the fizzy drinks until after she’s done operating my camera.)
