bond. james bond.

So I'm posting all of my remarkably fun date night outfits from last weekend. We had 80's flashback yesterday, and now we move into another interesting one..... bond girl. :)

Wore this to head out with the hubby for some drinks with his work friends. He works for the government and has a really ridiculous job that makes him work around 12-14 hours a day and most of the people he works with are men, so they are all really bonded. Its like this super special boy's club. Now all of these guys are single except for my hubby so when we go out I am the only girl in the bunch. I always feel exceptional when I'm out with all the boys... and kind of bad ass, like a bond girl.
I was going through my closet, in particular my large collection of sequin dresses (is it possible to own too many?), in preparation for my upcoming Vegas trip. This might be.... no, this most definitely is the reason for all the sequins. We go to Vegas far too much, and who doesn't want to rock a sequin number in Vegas? Hello, I think that town made sequins as cool as they are! This time around we are celebrating my lovely mother turning 50. Not that she looks it, she is still rockin it if you ask me... and she has a sweet little prada number we picked up in Italy over the summer that she has been waiting to wear for her birthday!

Close up of the shoes, which are of course from Bakers. I think I own too many shoes from there! These ones I bought to wear to my rehearsal dinner for my wedding circa summer 2008. I wore them with a little ruffled Betsey Johnson dress, and a gold headband. Classy and fun!

close up of the necklace..... from Forever love... and oh the sequins.... sigh.

close up of the Tuxedo jackets details. I love how it takes the little feminine dress and turns it into something classy with a masculine hard edge to it.


This outfit makes me happy and is most definitely making the cut for the Vegas trip. What do you think?

happy Tuesday all!

xoxo

  1. Absolutely love that dress!! It looks fabulous you- as does everything!

    Ooh I love Vegas!! When are you guys going? That is where and my bf met (even though we are both from Boston and both have mutual friends... it took us going to Vegas on separate trips to meet). LOL

    And no you can never have too much sequins, I don't think.

  5. You girls are all so right to be obsessed with sequins right now! I'm so happy they are in fashion... I will be sad to see them go in the spring :( but right now lets embrace the sequin-y goodness. I'm currently on the hunt for the H&M sequin leggings. must find now. lol. so we are headed to Vegas in 3 weeks, and then back in november for my mom-in-law's birthday, and then back in Jan for my little brother's 21st. I told you we are Vegas Veterans! Its wrong how much we love that place. anyways, thanks for the amazing comments as always! You girls are my inspiration!
