My husband and I had the worst luck this Valentine’s Day. I got the stomach flu *literally* that evening which, as you may imagine, put a damper on any romantic festivities. It. Was. Awful. Enuf said. I was still feeling under the weather a few days later when our 9-year (dating) anniversary came around, which is what we usually celebrate every year so, again, no exciting plans for us. However, I was determined to do *something* to celebrate, so the next day we headed out to the movie theatre to catch a movie. (I was not contagious anymore, I promise!) Which movie, you ask? John Wick 2. I don’t know which one of us was more excited. And they say that romance is dead. Pshaw!

I ended up wearing this 80s goth prom outfit (credit: my darling Instagram husband) purely by coincidence because I couldn’t wait for another occasion to pull out my sparkly Betsey Johnson dress. The weather was warm, so the leather jacket was perfect. After we watched the movie, I realized that my outfit — being all black and everything — was very on-point. So was my hair, which is a pretty good homage to Ruby Rose if you ask me. The twirling on the other hand? No excuse, really. But, c’mon on, how could I not in a dress like this?

twirling!

Here’s an outtake:

You’re welcome for the laugh. But seriously, can I wear this outfit everyday? Kthxbai

  1. For some reason it hadn’t registered to me that you actually bought this dress. So proud. I love it!

  2. I love everything about this outfit and would endorse your decision to wear it every day, as long as you allowed me to blatantly copy you.

  3. I LOVE this look – one of my favorites you’ve posted recently! – and I love your hair slicked like this! It looks modern yet classic and feminine.

    • It’s funny … I have been wearing it wavy more often recently, but seeing Ruby Rose rock the slicked back/smooth look made me reconsider. In any case, having two options is always good, right?
