What I wore today: 04/25/2014 (Monarch)

On Friday, I accompanied my friend to the DAAP fashion show again to see her sister's collection. It was a fun night out, and I got to wear a dress, which is something I haven't been doing a lot of during the long hard winter we just had.

Like Halloween, Easter is one of those holidays that you can definitely still enjoy as an adult, sometimes even more than you did as a kid. Easter candy is the best seasonal candy – as far as I'm concerned Reece's Eggs could replace Reece's Cups year round – and it's always fun to get dressed up and fill your home with flowers.

What I wore today: 03/29/2014 (Pretty in Pink)

I fell in love with this dress when it first came in to the store back before Christmas. But, at $298, I just couldn't justify the purchase, even with my employee discount. So, you can imagine my surprise and joy when I found one in February marked down to $39.95. It was a 4, and, though I could squeeze myself into it, I tracked down a 6 at the Louisville store and had them send it to me. 

Knowing Ryan and I had tickets to the ballet at the end of March, I saved it for the occasion. I even got lucky with a day of 40-degree stormy weather, which meant tights wouldn't be an absolute necessity as they have been for time immemorial. 

We had a lovely date night, trying out a new restaurant in our neighborhood, which we had been saving for the occasion as well. Some things are worth the wait.
