on friday night, i attended a little girl’s night out celebration hosted by jessica of what i wore, courtesy of dove. she invited a small group of bloggers out for an evening of drinks followed by a limo ride around manhattan! i had already spent some time with jessica the night before catching up on life and blogging, and spent my day with rebecca during her photo shoot with market publique. while i was there, they caught wind that i didn’t actually have a party dress for our girl’s night out, so pamela of market publique offered to let me browse around her inventory to borrow a dress for the occasion. everyone in the office agreed that i had to wear this awesome vintage neiman marcus dress for the occasion. it was a bit out of my comfort zone, but i’m glad i ended up wearing it. those puff sleeves really did make quite the statement. haha! and as you can see from the photos, despite my daily outfit posts, i’m actually quite camera shy.
i spent the evening with: what i wore, the clothes horse, orchid grey, jen loves kev, selective potential, delightfully tacky, blonde bedhead, and crowded closet.

cotton patterned tights, courtesy of tabio
reproduction 1940’s platforms, remix vintage shoes
food and drinks, limo service, and dove visibly smooth samples were generously provided by dove.

Adorable! Looks like a fun night out… and how fun that it's a bunch of bloggers :) Is that snow on the limo?
so many great shots, looks like a fabulous time! I LOVE your dress!
So glad you decided to go with the puff sleeves! You looked amazing, and I loved how you paired it with the textured tights. Plus the dramatic silhouette really goes with your haircut. It was definitely my favorite of the ones you tried on!
So glad we could lend you a dress and that you looked so fabulous on it!

I like your sleeves; they're real big.
Rarely does a Napoleon Dynamite reference apply to real life so perfectly. Other than of course, flippin' sweet.
that 'thing' over the limo looks like cake icing haha
i know what you mean about sleeves. but they looked puffingly great on you – Pam at MP is the best!
love your dress, you look fabulous!
