That Pencil Skirt

September 4, 2016 ·

strappy black dress

Hi from Vegas!!

So, despite hating everything about casinos, Vegas is a very special place for me. May 5, 2012, I met my husband here… at a pool party… after a few bloody Mary’s (my drink of choice here.) What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas is just. not. true., because I ended up bringing this LA guy I met there all the way back to New York with me. I think couples meeting in Vegas is more common than you’d think because it is probably one of the few places in the world where with confidence I can say that nobody is looking to meet a husband or wife. I was there purely to have fun and was invited to go out for a birthday party for a work friend of mine. I was fresh out college, knew a bunch of friends going to the party and figured… why not.

I never expected to come back with  a new – long distance – fling, let alone a husband!

Four years later, we are back!

I decided to wear this T by Alexander Want tank dress to “elevate” my Vegas style a bit. Surprisingly, it is around the same price ($145) as the skin tight, glittery dress I wore four years ago (hehe, no judging) but is just a tad bit more sophisticated!! It is the most comfortable dress and so versatile that I had to share! I originally bought it for fall to wear with a leather jacket and sneakers for the weekend but absolutely loved wearing it last night!
