This weekend, I celebrated my dear friend Courtney's birthday at this delightfully sophisticated restaurant/club/bar. Since I am but a poor college student, it's a place much more upscale than I'm used to (even the bathrooms looked rich!), so the motto of the evening was think fancy thoughts. And I think it worked.
Here's some snapshots from the evening:
The menus were so fancy they had French words in them like crème fraiche. Mhmm. And my lemonade came in this sexy little glass:
Courtney loved her Christmas/Birthday present so much. It's a good feeling when somebody adores what you pick out for them.
Here are some better shots of what I wore:
One of my friends loved this sweater and asked where I had gotten it. When I told her it was from Goodwill, she said in frustration, "Of course it is." Hahah. I enjoyed that exchange. This outfit earned me lots of compliments, which proves that you can look rich and fancy without spending like a rich person.
Do you have any special celebrations planned for the holidays?
What I'm Wearing:
Necklace//Antique
Sweater//Vintage, Thrifted
Blouse (yep, it's inside out)//Maurices
Skirt//The Quirky Poet
Belt//???
Rings//Antique
Shoes//Target
I love the skirt - it's really pretty on you!

oh yes I definitely agree with what you say. You don't have to be rich to look this good. Your cardi is fabulous. I like the vintage feel of this look, from the maxi skirt to the cardi, simple but so classy.
