At the end of January, my boyfriend's place of employment was holding a banquet at the Adventure Aquarium in New Jersey. If you thought aquariums were cool to attend during the day, getting to go at night all dressed up for a nice dinner was even more of an experience!
It took me a while to find something good to wear, but the outfit I ended up getting was beyond perfect!
Since the flash wasn't on in the aquarium photos, it's hard to see the sparkle the dress has, which is why I included that top picture of Nick and myself.
The dress fit like it was made just for me. A big concern I always have with glittery dresses is that they are going to be itchy, but this dress was not at all. There was a thin layer underneath the dress that kept me cool and comfortable the whole night, and it stayed put as well; it didn't bunch up at all.
Now for the details on my outfit!
1. Leith Shine Minidress // Currently on sale for $42.40 (I paid $69 at the time), this dress is a black multi-glitter that shines as colorful as the setting you are in. It also fits very true to size (I'm a small and am wearing a small).
2. Leith Crystal Slice Earrings // When I bought the dress, I knew I wanted very sparkly earrings, so these are perfect! They fall very nicely and are only $20!
3. Heels // The shoes I'm wearing are Jessica Simpson from about 2 years ago! I found a similar pair by Jewel Badgley Mischka available at Nordstrom for $98.95. However, if I could go back and wear a different shoe, I think I would choose the Sam Edelman Ariella Ankle Strap Sandal in black (#4), which are also available at Nordstrom for $99.95. I think the black are better if you don't want to take away from the dress and the earrings!
