It has certain ring to it, huh?
So, today’s outfit I decided to show two ways. Vegas way & Girls Night Out way….
~Girls Night Out~

For whatever reason when I was trying to decide what I wanted to wear to Vegas all I could think about (obsess over) was a white dress with black opaque tights.
I then went on a mad hunt all over SoCal for the ideal white dress with both kids (at nap time!!!)….and came home empty handed. But, I wasn’t willing to give up the dream.
Normally, I’m not a clothes borrower (had to share with sisters for too many years), but for this…I was willing to make an exception. I made a few calls to my fashionable friends and ended up with this amazing number.
In Vegas I paired it with opaque black tights and my fave mary jane platforms and while I felt all nervous about sporting a short dress….once I got out and about, I realized that I was actually quite conservative given that I was wearing tights. {Most girls I saw I doubt even wore underwear!} Guess there will always be a mommy in me.
Funny story…standing in line at Tao….a few guys next to us were trying to sweet talk their way into getting cuts in line with us. Finally at the last ditch attempt one of the guys said, “But it’s my birthday!!!” And I responded without even thinking about it first….”Hey, it’s my daughters birthday too!!!”
And then they ran away.
And the moms behind us in line started laughing.
I’m so cool.
Anyway, because this dress was borrowed and I knew I needed to give it back, I had to find one more time to wear it. This weekends Girls Night Out was just the event.
This time I paired it with leggings, boots, and a cute black blazer. I was probably a bit overdressed, but whatev. I was out, without kids, and this dress was too cute to waste just in Vegas.
And that is the tale of the dress worn two ways.
