People, yesterday I had such a good day! [On a side note, as of yesterday, my husband and I have been home-owners for a year! Adults!] Anyway, I had another great run in the morning and I've been unofficially invited for an all-day interview at the school next week! I'm supposed to get the deets over the weekend, so I hope I'll know more shortly. Yay!
Anyway, one of my former colleagues was also having a party last night, so I clearly went. It's been a while since I've gone to a party not hosted by myself. My husband was too tired to attend, so off I went by myself. I decided to wear the other top that I bought in the Gap last week (I wore the first one a week ago):
Fun, right?! While trying on this immodest, drapy tank top in the dressing room, I thought that it wasn't really my usual style - metal embellishments? Drapy and loose? But the more I examined myself in the mirror, the more I realized that I wanted to be the kind of woman who wears this kind of top. So I bought it.
And I'm gonna be honest: I felt like a rock star in this outfit: revealing top with studs? Tight black jeans? Yes.
The top is particularly special because of another detail (I'm so mature):
You'll be happy to know that, after I examined this photo, I combed my hair
Check out that back, people! A cowl(-neck?) collar, a sexy little string holding up the whole shebang? LOVE! I cannot wait to wear this bad girl out over the summer, when people can actually see the back detail. Because yesterday it was so cold that I had to cover up with a cardigan, like a good schoolgirl:
Yes, in fact, I was feeling silly while taking photos. Could you tell?
So, yeah, that kind of mitigated the whole "rock star" feeling. Oh, well. It'll be awesome at my cousin-in-law's bachelorette party...
I also wore the new necklace I bought from ArtWark on Etsy for the first time. I loved how it looked with the gold detail on my shirt (and my favorite gold earrings, which you can barely see in all these photos):
Pretty shape and length, no? I loved how it looked.
Anyway, the party was a blast, I got to see a lot of friends that I haven't in a while (some since last June!), and gossip some more about work - one of my favorite activities...
Anyway, that was my Friday, folks. And I'm very happy with it.

That is a GREAT top and it looks fantastic on you. The metal trim is perfect. (Don't you just love it when you feel like a rock star? Metallic does it for me too. And in my dreams I have a pair of black leather pants to go with my bronze metallic top, instead of the plain black ponte knit pants.)
ReplyDeleteI love it, that top looks perfect on you! It's totally cute with the cardigan, but you're definitely going to turn some heads come summer
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue! I haven't felt like a rock star in a while, so this was a welcome change. And I've wanted leather pants since I was a TEENAGER! I think I need to go on the hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cassy! I'm looking forward to wearing it RIGHT, y'know?
You are a total rock star in this outfit. I LOVE that top. Perfection! Your husband will need to take you (and the top) on a date. You can tell him that I said so!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with interview next week!!
Well, Allison, I'm gonna go ahead and inform my husband that we're going on a date with this shirt. Thanks for the suggestion! And for the good luck wishes! :)
ReplyDeleteSuperb top, and the pictures really show how awesome it makes you feel. Rawwr! Definitely worth taking out for a drink.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the interview!
Why thank you, Kelly! Yeah, I'm telling my husband that it'll be my "date night" shirt for the next date night. :) And thanks for the good vibes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the interview! I just recently bought a top with a studs effect, but nothing like the back on this sexy thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri! This is my first article of clothing (non-shoe) with metallic embellishments: I'm psyched! And thanks for the good thoughts - I haven't heard from the school since, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and trying not to think about it...
