So What Happened?

After this post on Friday, I had a couple people ask me over the weekend whatever happened and if I was able to pull off getting ready for the event.  I am happy to tell you that yes, it all did come together and mostly because of my 10 minute stop at Nordstrom.

Between my hair appointment and picking up my son, I had 15 MINUTES to run into Nordstrom to see what they might have.  This is how it went.

Minute 1: Walked directly to the Savvy and Via C sale rack
Minutes 2-4: Hit the DVF, Milly and Kate Spade sale items and grabbed three dresses in my size.
Minutes5-7: Tried on all three dresses and liked the DVF one.
Minutes 8-10: Purchased the DVF dress and was headed out the door.

I think it was a record.

Add to the fact that it was $230 off and I was pretty proud with myself.  Was it truly "black tie"?  No, but it was going to work!

Here is my look from the night.

A few pretty pieces added, a pair of shoes that were perhaps 20 years old and a hubby looking handsome in a tux and I was good to go.  Crisis averted!

The dress is still available at Nordstrom so I thought I would share because it really is a beautiful Plum color and could be worn to numerous events.  Plus, the price is pretty fabulous.

 This is now my first and last time EVER leaving something so last minute!

A Black Tie Affair

The holidays have begun!  It is the "most wonderful time of the year"!  I get so excited for all of the decorations, family, friends and celebrating.  One of my favorite parts of this time of year are all of the holiday parties.  Who doesn't love getting dressed up numerous times in one month?!  Black Tie events take this excitement to another level.  Seeing my husband all dressed up in a tux is just sexy.  And it rarely happens because believe it or not, we are not hitting up red carpets all the time.  This past Friday night we had a black tie event and I had so much fun getting dressed up and enjoying the night with the hubby.  We danced the night away until 1am and even though it was ROUGH getting up with the kids at 6am the next morning, it was all worth it.
