Tuxedo Day: A Lady Tuxedo Involving Tons of Rhinestones

My mister and one of his co-workers were working on a huge deal. They decided, if they closed said deal, they would celebrate by renting tuxedos and wearing them to dinner and the casino. Well, the deal went through and I was invited along for Tuxedo Day! At first, I was trying to decide which dress to wear, but then it dawned on me that I too should don a tuxedo. I just happen to have these Billy Blues rhinestone tuxedo pants hanging in my closet. I tried a few different white ruffly shirts before settling on this Forever 21 vest (with some modesty pinning going on near the cleavage!).

Leather Tank with Beachy Accessories

Last day of work clothes (though it doesn't even look like it)! I wore this on the second to last day of school. This is the faux leather Zara tank I wore as a layering piece before. Here, I'm wearing it more at it was intended. I added some beachy accessories to give it a more relaxed vibe.

WHEN SKIES ARE GREY: DAY 3

These are those old boots I don't love, but are good for a little variety. But I realized that they match pretty closely to the bag we got at the Nordstrom event - aka my Spring work tote.

The t shirt was an impulse buy right after the nine billionth wedding dress store I visited. So much shopping, so little buying. So I grabbed this, tried it on over the TWO shirts I was wearing and decided it was for me. I planned on just wearing it with jeans on the weekend, but I like how it looks here. The stripes are navy and the sleeves are this awesome acid wash gray.

AN ARMY OF ONE

I forgot I had these boots! I am often woeful that I can never find boots I like, meanwhile there are several hiding in my collection (none of which I particularly love, but it at least adds a little variety to those extra chilly days).

Violet Hour

Oh the disorgaization of it all! These last few (and probably the next few) posts have been wildly out of order, but such is life.

This extremely purple number was from the last day of Spirit Week. Friday was Wear Your School Sports Team Shirt Or The Spirit Week Shirt Day, of which I had neither, so I just decided to go overboard with our school color: purple. I've worn this tank/cardigan combo out before, but certainly not with all the extra purple accessories. The silk top is scandalously low cut, so I decided to throw a little pop of Other Color in with the modesty cami.
