A Dress for a Date

I can already hear all of your gasps of surprise.

"She went out on a date?"

"Already?"

"But she hasn't even been single for a whole month.."

"I thought she loved Kris..."

Hold on to your horses people.

There is a story here and not one I'm quite ready or willing to disclose.

I do still miss and love Kris. Always will. 

But I'm also not dead and...

This was more of a group thing to celebrate a close friend's belated birthday.

So...

With that in mind.

I recently went out to Gordon Ramsey's Pub & Grill

Which was delicious by the way.

But as Shark Week was surfacing, I was having a difficult decision in figuring out what to wear...

I literally tore my closet to shreds, it was one of those moments.

Luckily I stumbled across this dress in the very back of closet that I had only worn once before to a Mormon wedding.

I threw on the dress along with one of my favorite metal magnetic bracelets and my all time favorite hair bow...

And I was ready to go!

My favorite thing about this dress is that it has some lift to it... 

So while I still kept my figure around the waist, my bloated tummy was hidden. 

It also fits me a lot better now.

Win win for everyone!

I love this necklace I recently picked up.

I don't usually like gold but it was a fox...

So obviously I had to have it and made an exception.

Dress: Forever 21 (no longer made)

Shoes: Not sure

Bracelet: Charlotte Russe

Necklace: Forever 21

Hair Bow: Not sure

I also realize this is one of the first times I've photographed myself with my bangs.

Which I adore and love.

I can't wait for the weather to start cooling off so I can trade in my bows and headbands for beanies.

What's your favorite old piece of clothing that you recently rediscovered?
