Gettin down with the dinos

Well last Saturday night was interesting...

I did end up finding a dress in exchange for the one with the cut-outs, at the same boutique, which was great; it was strapless, turquoise chiffon with a ruffle. I paired this with gold accessories, specifically a layered gold leaf necklace and gold sequin clutch from Francesca's and gold 2.5 inch sandals from Nordstrom BP. I also had my hair blown out and straightened.

Strapless chiffon dress from Violette--Minuet $75, gold necklace--Francesca's $18

Gold BP Gallery sandal--Nordstrom $69.95

Gold sequin clutch--Francesca's $24

In all honesty, getting ready with my friends and taking pictures and eating sushi was great. The dance though was just alright, which was kind of disappointing. Although, someone did tell me I had a really nice tan and how often did I go to the tanning salon. Um well I actually go outside, instead of laying around in a bed steaming with skin cancer.Here's a picture of the 4 of us, outside of my best friend's house.

The highlight of the night was our midnight run to IHOP for milkshakes and pancakes. They're open until 4 am which is pretty sweet. Unfortunately, Paul, our waiter, got really confused with why there were so many dressed-up kids there that he took forever and kept asking stupid questions.

Compared to last weekend, this weekend has been significantly more fun. Last night in between frozen yogurt runs and having homeless men in trench coats with pink wheely suitcases stalking us at Target, we found some "beautiful" clothes at Macys. Now, we went to the Macy's on 29th Street in Boulder, which could be considered semi-decent. For some reason, the one at Flatirons is the ghetto Macy's with a 3x5 shoe section, dim lighting, a smokers' section and knock-off clothes. Some of our finds include:

A  maroon version of this dress:

Karl Lagerfeld collection for Impulse--Macy's orig. $99, sale $59.99

A floor-length Wiccan Free People skirt. 

Free People Twisted Velvet Maxi Skirt--Macy's $148

And a pink tie-front short sleeved shirt I can't find a picture of that had cartoon flowers and a fake varsity number on the front, on sale for $4.99. Obviously if you're wearing a shirt or even sweats with a "varsity" number down the side and someone asks what team you play for, and your response has something to do with buying that shirt or those sweats at Macy's, there's a serious problem.
