I have a *lot* of dresses, which I periodically feel guilty about, but I have decided to embrace my “collector” personality and, rather than pare down, make an effort to cycle through all my pieces more regularly. I love this Ted Baker silk A-line dress, and paired with cream and black, it looked great for a night out with girlfriends. And, oh hey — look, I finally got a decent picture of my newish Alexis Bittar necklace (excuse the cleavage shot).
This year, I joined a group of friends and got a season pass to the Alberta ballet. Once a month, we get together, have a nice dinner out then enjoy a show. I haven’t had a lot of time for socializing outside of work in the last 5 years, so this has been a nice change.
The Dynamic Directions show was very interesting; there were parts I loved, and parts I didn’t understand at all, but the talent on display was phenomenal. I’m looking forward to next month’s ballet, Romeo & Juliet. I haven’t seen a “traditional” ballet since I was a kid.
What a great idea! I did ballet in my youth so I would loooove something like this. Too bad there’s no ballet company in my city. 🙁 Do you do any type of dance, Adina?
Gosh, no! I’m really, really ungraceful. I tried ballet for a bit when I was a kid, but there were no tutus involved, so I quit very quickly. I envy dancers (and former dancers) — they have the best posture. I look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame half the time.
Love that necklace. Wow!
How fun! The ballet is great – I try and get out occasionally – it’s also a good excuse for dressing up. 🙂 I went to the opera at the end of January and that was a lot of fun as well, so I think I’ll make more of an effort to get out to that too.
I also quit ballet as a child due to the lack of tutus. 😉
This is how I tend to treat my collection of clothes – rather than feeling guilty I try to rotate them all around and give them all a fair share of wear (seasonal practicality considered of course!)
