all dressed up

blue bow
i was a little apprehensive about the anniversary dinner (james is really expensive!) but it was so worth it. it was too dark for photos, and anyways that's pretty tacky, but every course was beautiful and delicious. we had some kind of mushroom soup with carrot gnocchi cousins, followed by 'venus's jewel case', and then i had lobster for my main dish. fancy stuff!

blue bow

it was fun to get a little dressy so i'm continuing the vibe. oh, and lexie asked about photos of alex- we have so few together cause i'm always making him play photographer! but here's a silly one of him with a friend (he's gonna be pissed when he see's i've posted this):

blue bow
vintage 50s bow sweater, vintage velvet dress, target tights, urban outfitters flats, vintage pink purse

  17. That sounds like a wonderful dinner! But what, pray tell, are Venus' jewels? Hmmm.

    I love the velvet-top-matte-bottom thing of the dress. As someone with a significantly curvier backside than frontside, that is pretty much genius in my book :P
