Swan Lake...

OH MY STARS!!!!!!  Jeremiah and I went to the last showing of Swan Lake at the Center for Performing Arts in Denver on Sunday and I couldn't have been more pleased.  The first time Jeremiah and I experienced legit ballet we were a little... disappointed.  We saw Romeo and Juliet last year and being used to modern entertainment, I think we were just expecting something more to happen.  I remember Jeremiah leaning over in his cushy seat and saying in an hushed whisper, "They don't say anything!?"  That's a negative.

BUT!  We both enjoyed Swan Lake so much more so for the elevated music, dancing and beautiful costumes.  I say elevated because literally every aspect of Swan Lake was better than Romeo and Juliet. One of the best parts of the day was feeling like a princess in my "ballet dress" and eating at a fav restaurant, The Corner Office.  The dancers from the show started trickling in to celebrate their last show midway through our meal so I got to gawk while Jeremiah watched football.  Perfect.  
And here are the pictures:
Firstly, let's all just scope out this man-candy:
And here is what I wore:

A couple-a black swans:
 I was really SO excited!

Details:
Jeremiah wore one of his Calvin Klein suits, a Perry Ellis shirt and tie, and some brand of shoes IDK from Macy's.
I wore a thrifted Target dress, Zara pumps, and a Topshop clutch via Eva.  I didn't wear any jewelry because I wanted my shoes to be the focal point.  I did, however, coordinate my red nails and lipstick because I felt like being all fancy.  I pulled my hair back in a "simple bun" which really just amounted to a thousand bobby pins in my head but overall, I felt like a princess and that was all that mattered. 
OH YAY BALLET!

  1. Just a suggestion for your simple bun, the spin pins by Goody work wonders for buns. I can have a perfect twist with just one pin, def worth the price :)
