"Date" Night

So tonight after work, my dad invited me to attend this Awards dinner for an Association we are both members of.  His association bought a table, so his directors and a few other colleagues will be there.  It will be a great networking opportunity... plus, I enjoy getting to spend some solo time with each of my parents.  With three siblings, I don't feel like that happens very often.  I love family time, but the one on one time is nice also.  Besides, it's been lonely here since my roommates left.

The dress is business... which, while I understand, I also find really boring.  I hate business attire.  Special thanks to Amanda for her remote outfit assistance!

 *Dress - Banana Republic (more than a year old and bought in "tall".... will buy all dresses from there in tall if I can.  It fits the best.)

 *Jacket - JCrew (also fairly old.  I have a hard time committing to blazers because I can never seem to get the right fit.)

 DV by Dolce Vita shoes (on sale now!)

Sorry, the pictures aren't that great.  It's really hard to take photos of your own feet!  But, I thought these shoes were worth it.  They are tall, but I'm looking forward to wearing them.

Also, I painted my nails last night.  "Gilty Pleasure" by Sally Hanson.  I really like this brand (found at any drug store).  The colors are nice.  The brush makes the color go on nicely and they dry pretty fast.
