Night Out


You didn't think I was going to make it all week long without a post, did you? Despite being busy all week at home, I still remembered to pack my tripod and found some time to take pictures back in my trusty spot in my backyard. This outfit is a little bit different for me because it's mostly black on black, and I thought it was funny that an outfit so simple was still considered "mixing it up" slightly for me. What can I say? I like simple things. My friend Alena and I found a fancy Goodwill on Monday — no, really. It exists. It was called OC Boutique (or something like it), but all of the clothes had Goodwill tags on them. I'm sure you can imagine my joy. I walked out with this Audrey 3+1 black dress for a steal, and I couldn't resist the flattering shape or nude lining. When you're on a broke college student's budget, nothing is as appealing as a versatile piece that can be worn a million ways. 

Of course, the best part of this outfit is by far the necklace. My sister-in-law, Elyse, put up a picture on Instagram of a few of these necklaces that she was making them about a month or so ago. I hinted that she should make me one too, and she gave me this one when I got in on Saturday. I don't have anything like it, and I've already worn it with two different outfits since she gave it to me. I really can't get enough of it. Don't you think she should sell them?
