I was a little torn about this outfit. I wanted it to work better than it did. As it was, the skirt's a little loose in the waist, the top of the dress is a little big, I forgot my belt, and my tights were baggy.


At least these earrings rock.

Saturday I spent most of the day lounging around in my pajamas, I will not lie. BUT! Saturday night, B. and I went salsa dancing, so I got all dressed up (but failed to iron my skirt).

Earrings: gift from my sister-in-law
Necklace: courtesy of Kimmie via a swap

B. actually took me salsa dancing on our second date (for our first, we went to the beach) and he had NEVER DANCED BEFORE. Like, really, never. That's how I knew he was a keeper. I like salsa because it's a partner dance with steps that you wouldn't be too embarrassed to do in front of your grandmother. We're not great, but we have lots of fun.


And I get all dressed up for it. I even put on makeup - all the fancy MAC makeup I bought when I was going to do my own makeup for our wedding.
Also, I saw a similar outfit on one of the blogs I read recently and thought I should try it. Of course, I totally can't find the link now (clearly, I read too many blogs). If anyone has seen it, let me know.


That brings us to today:

B. and I talked about our move to Costa Rica at church today, so I knew I had to look nice. Of course, I also had to be warm because our church is pretty new and we're in a building that's still kind of under construction and our heating unit isn't connected yet. Yeah, it's a little chilly in there these days.


I've only ever worn these tights under other tights because they're so bright, but I was inspired by Shey over at Modesty is Pretty who absolutely rocked her pink tights with a black skirt and black booties. B pretty much hated them. Like, we got out of the car, and this guy was outside our church building doing some work and he seemed surprised to see us there. B was like, "He was scared by your pink tights." One of the ladies from my Bible study set him straight, though. She told him, and I quote, "Those are FASHION." She knows what's up.



Finally - Lyddie over at Chic on the Cheap gave me a Versatile Blogger award! Whoot! In the interest of NOT writing a novel over here today, I will be sharing seven facts about myself and tagging seven bloggers tomorrow. Y'all know you can't wait.
